Chapter 22: You Are Not Welcome Here
Chapter 22: You Are Not Welcome Here
‘Why is this woman acting so different? Is she mad at me about the divorce?’ Zac wondered sourly to himself.
He seemed to have completely forgotten that he had forced her to have an abortion.
After all, no sane woman would treat a man the same after he forced her to have an abortion.
If Patricia hadn't realized her hatred for Zac before, she would have realized it the moment she set eyes on him.
She hated the man in front of her for his ruthless, and for forcing her to lose her baby.
She didn't want to see him, nor did she want him to appear in front of her ever again. "Zac, please have a seat!"
Seeing that the two of them were staring wordlessly at each other as if in a stalemate, Giselle quickly stepped forward to mediate. "Mom, leave the room first,"
Patricia said in a low voice, getting up with her eyes still fixed on Zac.
"Patricia..."
Giselle wanted to persuade her, but after a moment, she sighed and said, "Okay."
She knew that the couple had something to talk about in private.
If she continued to stay here, it would only make things more awkward and uncomfortable for them.
It was better for her to leave.
Therefore, Giselle walked out of the room step by step, turning her head several times to look at Patricia as she went.
At the door, she took one last look at her daughter and sighed worriedly before closing it.
"What are you doing here? You are not welcome here."
Patricia's cold words and her unapproachable indifference stung Zac's heart.
"I'm here to pick you up,"
he replied casually, as if nothing was wrong between them.
Patricia snorted.
"You don't have to pretend to care about me." Then, she turned around and continued to pack up her things.
With her back to Zac, she added, "As I said, you are not welcome here!"
Looking at her thin back, Zac suddenly had an impulse to reach out and pull her into his arms.
"I'm the one who brought you here, so it's only right for me to drop you back."
Zac's tone was still light and casual, but his words touched Patricia's fragile nerve again.
"Fuck off! I don't want to see you!"
Patricia straightened up, pointed at the door, and shouted, "Zac, we are divorced, and I have gotten the abortion like you asked.
What else do you want? Why are you still here? I already told you, I don't want to see you ever again.
You can go now! Get out of here!"
Her voice became more and more hysterical, and tears spilled uncontrollably out of her eyes.
She didn't care if the people outside the ward could hear her or not.
The one thing that had mattered to her was already gone.
So she didn't care if other people made fun of her or gossiped about her. She didn't have the energy to think about them! Zac was a prideful man, and he couldn't bear being treated by Patricia like this.
He clenched his fists in anger, and his soft heart toughened up again.
This woman was really unreasonable.
Didn't she have any sense of morality? She was so shameless! Although he despised her, he still thought he should drop her at the Sampson family's house out of principle.
"I'm not here to quarrel with you.Like I said, I brought you here, so I will definitely take you back to the Sampson family's house!"he insisted with a scowl, raising his voice a little.
Seeing how stubborn he was, Patricia found herself in even more pain.
She felt that she was about to lose control of herself! Why did she have to bear this heartbreak over and over again? "Ha! Zac, if you want to see Lyndsy, just go to the Sampson family's house directly.You don't have to pretend to be kind to me just to get close to her.She's already very willing to get close to you!"
Patricia said sarcastically.
She didn't know why she had suddenly thought of Lyndsy, but the words just came spilling out of her mouth.
Zac raised his thick eyebrows slightly, and a trace of displeasure appeared on his face.
This woman was really annoying! Had he ever told her that he liked Lyndsy? How could she say such a thing?Of course, he had forgotten about the news that had been released about him and Lyndsy, and how much he had hyped it up.
Instead of arguing with Patricia, Zac walked past her and stuffed all her things into her bag.
Then, carrying the bag in one hand and grabbing her arm with the other, he strode towards the door.
"Let go of me! You bastard! Let go of me!"
Patricia shouted as she tried hard to get rid of Zac's hand.
At last, she had no choice but to lower her head and bite down hard on his wrist.
Feeling a sharp pain on his wrist, Zac reflexively let go of Patricia's arm, and she took the opportunity to run to the door of the ward.
"Mom!"
With a scream, Patricia opened the door and fell into Giselle's arms.
"What's wrong, Patricia?"
Giselle looked at Patricia in surprise.
Seeing the tears on her face again, Giselle was even more confused.
"Mom, let's go!"
Holding Giselle's arm, Patricia walked forward quickly.
"Patricia, where are your things? Zac is still in there.Should we..."
Giselle turned her head and looked worriedly at the door of the ward.
'What happened between them? Why did Patricia come out alone? Why didn't Zac come out after her?’ With great strength, Patricia dragged mother forward in a hurry, as if someone was chasing after them.
The two of them soon disappeared around the bend of the corridor.
At the same time, in the ward, Zac had already put down Patricia's bag so that he could tend to his wrist.
She had dug her teeth in so deep that she had drawn blood, which fell to the floor and spread like blooming red flowers.
"Damn it! How dare she!"he cursed as he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wrapped it tightly around his bleeding wrist.
Then, he quickly walked to the door and looked around.
There was no sight of Patricia or her mother in the corridor. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
"Damn it!"
He punched the wall angrily, but it only worsened the wound on his wrist.
The pain made him groan with a grimace.
He ran back into the room, picked up her bag, and then chased after her.
Patricia was still striding forward in a hurry with her mother in tow.
But because of her weak condition, she was already running out of breath.
"Patricia, slow down! You still haven't recovered fully.
What's wrong with you?"
Giselle had to run awkwardly to keep up with Patricia, and she almost fell down several times because of her high-heeled shoes.
"Mom, stop asking! We need to leave!"
Patricia didn't want to say anything more.
Tightening her grip on her mother's hand, she quickened her pace even more.
As she walked, she looked back from time to time, as if she was afraid of something.
"Patricia..."
Giselle began to try and persuade Patricia again.
"Stop, Patricia!"
Zac's fierce voice came from behind the two of them, interrupting what Giselle was about to say.
Without turning around, Patricia subconsciously walked even faster.
She really didn't want to see Zac.
If she saw him now, she would only treat him as her enemy! In fact, if she was stronger than Zac, she would definitely beat him to death! Seeing that Patricia continued to stride forward without any intention of stopping and even quickened her pace after hearing his voice, Zac was furious.
"Patricia, stop!"
