Chapter 113: Zac&##x27;s Worry

"Mom stop! Nothing that you're saying is helping me!" Her mother was the last person she wanted to
talk to right now.

Feeling distressed about the situation, Yolanda watched her daughter walk away.

She didn't know what more she could do about this and pursed her lips in defeat.

It was her own fault for spoiling Lyndsy all these years.

All she wanted to do was give her daughter the best life at the Sampson family.

It was the least she could do after the rough childhood Lyndsy had been through.

Little did she know that she would regret having done that.

Maybe she had gone about it in the wrong way.

She hadn't taught her the right values, or educated her well enough.It was too late now.

Lyndsy was an adult and she wasn't going to pay heed to anything her mother had to say.

Nevertheless, it was her duty to protect her child.

She had no clue of the details of Lyndy's twisted plan to hurt Patricia, but she would have to get to the
bottom of it.

Yolanda was distracted all of a sudden when Lyndsy's phone began to ring on the sofa.

She picked it up to see an unknown caller ID being displayed on the screen.

Her gut told her that this was the person Lyndsy had hired to hurt Patricia.



Yolanda quickly made a note of the number on her own phone, and once the ringing stopped, dialed
the number herself.

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Zac was pacing anxiously in the hallway unable to contain his worry.

Patricia had been taken in to the operating room but he was asked to wait outside.

He had been waiting for about half an hour, but not knowing how she was doing made it seem like an
eternity.

He continued to pace as that was the only thing keeping him from barging in to see her.

It was only once they had reached the hospital did they notice that she was bleeding from her back.

Her spine had sustained a serious injury and she was rushed into the operating unit.

Zac kept imagining the worst possible situations while he waited.

He was trembling and each breath felt labored.

His worry for Patricia seemed to be taking a physical toll on him.

Dora, who had moved away for a little bit, ran back over to him and asked him the very question he
wanted the answer to.

"How is she doing now, Mr.Reynolds?"

Zac shrugged and nodded towards the operating room.His heart was heavy with fear.He couldn't bear
the thought of losing Patricia in this way.

How could she leave him when things between them were still unresolved? He could never let that
happen.



Zac's fists were clenched tight and he could hear his heart pounding in his ears.

There was a deep pain within him, as though someone had ripped out a piece of his heart.

Panic had gotten the better of him.

Dora did the only thing she could think of doing in that moment.She prayed with all her heart.

It was hours before the lights inside the operating room dimmed and the doors slowly swung open.

Zac and Dora both rushed over to the doctor, desperate for any news.

"How is she, Doctor?"

While he was aware of Zac's worry, the doctor was surprised to see Dora there as well, looking just as
nervous.

His voice was curt when he spoke to them.

"She's doing fine now, the operation was a success.We are going to keep her here under mandatory
observation for a few days.She really shouldn't have gone out in her condition!"

Despite the doctor's annoyance, both Zac and Dora were extremely relieved.After a few moments of
calm, however, the doctor's words sank in and Zac said sternly to Dora, "Did you hear what the doctor
just said?"

With the guilt that Dora felt, she was unable to meet his eyes.

"I know, Mr.Reynolds.This was my fault.I promise it won't happen again."

She raised three fingers as a sign of her promise to Zac



.Zac nodded in acceptance.He knew that she could be trusted.

He just had to be sure.

Patricia was wheeled out of the operating room and they followed her closely, not wanting to be away
from her.

Back in the ward, Patricia's cheeks seemed to have recovered some of their rosy color.

It was such a relief to see her alright and out of danger.

Dora used a handkerchief to dab the sweat off Patricia's face.

She was murmuring once again, "I'm so sorry Miss Patricia, I should've kept you safe."

She was sobbing softly now, unable to shake off the guilt.

Zac had noticed this, but didn't say a word.

Although he didn't dislike her, he felt no special compassion for her either.

All that mattered to him was that she could take good care of Patricia.

Ignoring Zac's presence, Dora continued, "I don't know what that man said to you in the afternoon, but
he ruined your peace of mind.If it wasn't for him, you never would have left the hospital."

Zac's ears perked up at this.

"What did you just say?"

He was absolutely furious with her.



How could she have kept such a crucial detail to herself all this while! But Dora had no clue who the
man was.

Who could it possibly have been? As far as he knew, only Giselle came to see Patricia.

He then spotted a fruit basket on the side table.

That wasn't there earlier.

Dora was terrified of the look in Zac's eyes.

She looked away as she said, "I don't know who it was and I couldn't see his face clearly.But I think
Miss Patricia called him Mr.Reynolds."

That was all he needed to know.

Kareem! Of course! He was the one who gave her the news.

Zac had imposed an information blackout to prevent any further losses for either the Reynolds Group
or Veyron.

He didn't expect that Kareem would go behind his back.

Kareem should have known better.After all, he was a senior executive as well.

He must have had another motive behind this.Zac told himself that he would have to be wary of
Kareem from now on.The man had almost cost him the love of his life already.Zac wouldn't let that
happen again.

He looked at Dora and said with utmost seriousness, "No one is allowed to see her without my
permission, is that understood?"
