Chapter 606 Blocked
Kevin hid behind the door of the emergency exit, so nervous that he was sweating profusely.
He had never been this nervous, not even during surgeries. Yet, the action of blocking Gwendolyn was
tensing him up beyond expectations.
Kevin felt his hands trembling, but he was determined to do it for the sake of his good friend's well-
being.
He successfully unlocked Patrick's phone, which, to be honest, had a password that did not really
count as one—six zeros.
Then, he quickly opened WhatsApp and blocked Gwendolyn.
After blocking her, he leaned against the wall, feeling as if he was about to collapse.
At that moment, the security door suddenly opened, startling him.
John stuck his head around the corner and asked, “Mr. Chavez, are you here?”
He had seen Kevin coming here earlier, so he came looking for the latter.
Kevin took a deep breath before standing up.
“What's the matter?” he asked in the calmest manner he could summon.
“I'd like to smoke too. Can I do it here?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJohn was a chain smoker, but he did not dare to smoke in the hospital, for it was forbidden. He thought
that Kevin was hiding in the stairwell to smoke.
Upon hearing John's words, Kevin raised a brow.
“You can't smoke here. Go straight and turn right. There's a smoking room, so do it there.”
John nodded and closed the heavy door behind him. Again, Kevin fell back against the wall, his tension
leaving him.
Over an hour later, Patrick was done with his examination. He walked out of the room, his hand
pressing a cotton pad.
It seemed like he was displeased with the examination, for his expression was darker than before.
Kevin approached him and asked, “You're done?”
Frankly, Kevin could have waited for him in the breakroom or Yanick's office, where he would be much
more comfortable. There, he could even enjoy a cup of coffee while using his phone.
However, he had no choice but to wait here so that he could block Gwendolyn on Patrick's phone.
After tossing the cotton pad into the trash can, he reached out to Kevin, waiting for the latter to return
his possessions. Kevin quickly gave his cigarettes and lighter back.
However, Patrick furrowed his brow slightly and coldly demanded, “The phone.”
In that instant, the allure of smoking faded into the background; what he really wanted was to find out if
that woman had responded to him.
Kevin sensed his intent and swiftly retrieved the phone from his bag, handing it over without delay.
Patrick took hold of the device and continued walking, his gaze fixed upon the screen.
Opening WhatsApp, he eagerly scanned for any messages from Gwendolyn, unaware and not realizing
that Kevin had blocked her with his account, for he had a habit of deleting messages after sending
them.
Kevin trailed closely, his hand instinctively rising to readjust his glasses.
I knew it. He was waiting for her message. Thank goodness I blocked her, or else things will be
troublesome.
Stepping into the elevator, Patrick inquired, “How much longer until we can get our hands on the
report?”
Glancing at the time, Kevin responded, “I'd say it'll be another hour or two. Let's head back to the hotel
so that you can grab a hearty breakfast first. I'll discuss it with them later.”
The rest was in the hands of the doctors. All Kevin could do was patiently wait for the results.
Patrick stayed silent, seemingly unaffected. When the elevator reached the first floor, he exited without
uttering a word.
Kevin turned to John and instructed, “Go after him. Your boss just lost a significant amount of blood in
his blood test. He needs a nourishing meal.”
John assured, “Don't worry, Mr. Chavez. I'll ensure my boss gets the necessary nutrients.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt Avenport, by the time Gwendolyn awakened, the doctor had already completed his examination on
her.
Per Michael's instructions to maintain a quiet environment, Gwendolyn managed to enjoy a restful
sleep without any disruptions.
When she noticed that Michael had already commenced his intravenous therapy, a wave of
embarrassment struck her.
“Grandpa, I overslept. Have you already had breakfast?” she inquired.
Dependent on medication, Michael was now required to be on a continuous drip throughout the day,
making his situation rather miserable.
However, Michael wore a smile and responded, “I've already had my breakfast. Go and have yours.
Don't spend the night here; we have the housekeepers keeping vigil. As a bride-to-be, you shouldn't
stay up late. Otherwise, you might end up with dark circles, and you won't look as pretty on your big
day.”
At that, Gwendolyn stood up and went into the bathroom to wash up.
She had her phone in her hand, so she noticed that Patrick had sent her a message.
When she read what he sent her, she smiled. It seemed like he did not wish to break up with her, so
she thought of talking to him about what Michael said to her. Perhaps he would be able to figure things
out from there.
Thus, she called him.
However, a message popped up in the video chat window: The recipient has blocked you from video
calling them.
