Chapter 126: Lily Visited Again

Hearing Patricia's words, Zac couldn't help but be stunned.Taking a deep breath, he continued to stare
at her intently, searching her face for something.

Zac didn't believe that Patricia was so heartless that she had no interest in him at all! In the past, he
might have thought it was possible, but now...He knew that was not the case.

Zac knew that she had feelings for him.

However, there was an insurmountable gap between them.

So, even if he wanted to take a step forward to get closer to her, Patricia would take a step back.

"Why is it impossible? Is this because of the baby?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a bout of sadness overcame him.

He couldn't help but feel melancholy about what happened to their child.

Hearing this, Patricia couldn't help sneering.

Looking Zac in the eyes, she said indifferently, "Zac, since you're aware of the reason, was there a
need to say it out loud? It's impossible for us to be together not only because of the child, but
also...Many other things got between us."

As for what the many other things were, she couldn't identify them at that particular moment.

But Patricia was sure that there was no way for her and Zac to be together.

Zac's pupils dilated as he heard this.He stared at her, his face full of disbelief.

As he was about to speak, she cut him off and said, "I'm tired and want to have a rest."



As soon as she finished speaking, Patricia resolutely shook off Zac's hand and made her way to her
bed without turning back.

She did, however, peek at Zac from the corner of her eye before quickly going to bed.

Zac was so astonished by what had just transpired that he didn't know what to do.

His hand was stuck mid-air until he regained his senses and quickly withdrew it.

Looking at Patricia, he felt so depressed he couldn't get a word out of his mouth.

‘Why doesn't she give me a chance?’ At that moment, Zac wondered what would be the best way to
broach the topic of the baby.

He wanted to explain himself to Patricia so that she would stop blaming him.

But when he thought of their baby, he felt a pang of pain.

And it was not because of the baby, but because of Patricia.

Patricia valued their child more than he had imagined.

So, he was afraid that if he told her the truth, she would either not be able to bear it, or she would think
that he was using such a despicable method to beg for her forgiveness.

Zac didn't want either of these things to happen.

As he approached her bed, he saw her closing her eyes.

He felt a pang in his chest as he stood there watching her.

Then, opening his sexy thin lips, Zac said seriously, "Okay, I Know what you mean."



He then turned around and strode to the door without hesitation.

When she heard the sound of the door closing, Patricia slowly opened her eyes and looked in the
direction of the door.

She could no longer see Zac's familiar figure.

A wave of sadness washed over her.

Then, slowly closing her eyes, she whispered, "Zac, just give up!"

She didn't know why, but she felt a stabbing pain in her heart after she said this, as if a piece of her
heart had been cut off.

The sadness that lined her face after not seeing Zac for the whole of the next day did not escape
Dora's watchful gaze.

But Zac's absence did confirm the thoughts Patricia was having.

Dora couldn't help but worry as she saw Patricia's expression.

She deliberately spoke to her, trying to sound Patricia out.

"Miss Patricia, Mr.Reynolds must be very busy today.That's probably why he didn't come today."

Her tone was casual, but she was staring at Patricia from the corner of her eyes, trying to read her
expression.

Dora pursed her lips when she realized she couldn't read Patricia's nonchalant expression.Patricia
chuckled when she heard Dora's comment and looked at her in confusion.

"Dora, you seem to be very interested in how things are between us!"



She said this on purpose, hoping Dora took the hint to drop the topic and not bring it up in the future so
as not to annoy her.

However, Dora misunderstood what Patricia meant by her words.

She thought that Patricia was jealous, so she quickly rectified her statement by saying, "Miss Patricia,
please don't misunderstand.I didn't mean it in that way.I simply noticed that the both of you were on
edge with each other, and I was worried about you."

Dora couldn't help but sigh as she finished speaking.

She was, after all, only an onlooker who witnessed everything that went on between them but couldn't
do anything.A faint smile formed on Patricia's lips.

She spoke gently to Dora.

"Dora, there are many things that are not what they appear to be.So, I can't be together with Zac."

This was the first time that she had revealed anything to Dora since she preferred to keep her
relationship with Zac private.

"Why is it impossible?"

Dora looked at her in confusion.

She didn't understand why Patricia would say such a thing.

But before Patricia could respond, Dora looked at her firmly and spoke of what she had observed.

"It's a fact, Miss Patricia, that you are not ruthless to Mr.Reynolds, so I don't know why you are
unwilling to accept him!"



Dora stared intently at her, trying to find something from the expression on Patricia's face.

Hearing this, Patricia was stunned by her observation, but then she regained her usual aloofness.

In an indifferent tone, she said, "Well, Dora, let's drop this topic.Help me apply the medicine."

It was apparent that Patricia was avoiding the topic.

So, knowing this, Dora had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.

Unhappily, she picked up the medicine box and began to apply the medication for Patricia.

Dora knew that she was just an outsider and didn't have any right to meddle in Patricia's affairs.

But she sincerely wished for Patricia and Zac to get together.

Lying on the bed, Patricia smiled faintly as she understood that Dora was only worried about her
relationship with Zac.

It was her fortune to have someone as sweet as Dora care about her so much.

But Patricia didn't want Dora to get involved in the matter between Zac and herself.

She believed that everything was finalized between her and Zac now.

By the time Dora was finished applying her medicine, they had noticed a familiar figure standing
outside the door.

Seeing it was Lily, Dora walked up excitedly and hugged her half-sister happily.

When Lily saw Patricia, she averted her gaze as if feeling embarrassed.



Patricia knew immediately that Lily was avoiding her gaze because she came on behalf of Jayson
today.

Seeing the fruit basket in Lily's hand, Dora became excited and laughed heartily.

"Lily, are you here to visit Miss Patricia? That's so kind of you."

Hearing this, Lily nodded slightly, her smile awkward.

She unconsciously looked away from Dora's innocent and dazzling eyes.

She didn't want Dora to learn what she had done.

She wanted to retain her good image in Dora's heart.

Noticing Lily's abnormal behavior, Dora frowned.

As she was about to question her, Dora heard Patricia's voice call out and say, "Since you are here,
come on in and have a seat."

With a polite smile, she showed Lily that she was intent on helping her out of that embarrassing
situation.

Patricia thought that both Lily and Dora were simple minded people.It was always easy to read their
minds
