Chapter 83

Sarah jolted awake, heaving a sigh of relief that Sylvia had dodged the bullet this time. Otherwise, she and Patric would never be together again.

She slumped onto the floor, mulling over how she could pick up the pieces from the mess she’d made.

After stewing over it, she grabbed her phone and dialed Patric.

The phone hummed incessantly with the busy signal, making the wait feel like an eternity.

“What’s up?”

Patric’s voice rang out, laden with impatience, “If it’s nothing urgent, I’m hanging up.”

“Wait! Don’t hang up! Patric, I genuinely need to talk to you!” Sarah clung onto her phone as if her life depended on it, fearing he might end the call any moment.

“If you’re hoping I could convince Mr. Morgan to lift your grounding, don’t hold your breath. As for the engagement, I’m still mulling it over.”

“No, I’m looking for Sylvia. I don’t have her number… could you put her on?” Sarah’s voice tapered off as she finished speaking.

“You want to talk to her? My advice, Miss Grammer, is to stop chasing Sylvia’s tail. I won’t give you the chance to hurt her again,” Patric warned, his voice dropping to a whisper.

“No, I’m here to apologize to her.” Sarah bit her lip, “Please pass her the phone. I’m begging you, Patric.”

“Apologize?”

Patric was taken aback. Given that she was all the way in S City and was grounded, she wasn’t likely to stir the pot, so he reluctantly agreed to her request.

He knocked gently on the door of the makeshift operating room, cracking it open slightly, and beckoned to Sylvia inside.

Sylvia shot a glance at Chad, still engrossed in the operation, and crept out.

“What’s wrong?”

Patric handed her his phone, “Sarah wants a word.”

“With me?”
