Chapter 84 Cozy in His Arms

"Shawn sneaked another chocolate ice cream, two cones, and a fruity popsicle."

Vera was surprised. A young man eating so much would be unbearable, but Shawn, a man in his seventies, eating this much would surely lead to trouble. Patrick, upon hearing this, clenched his fists and then relaxed them. "I understand, you go rest now."

Tom left the study.

When they were alone, Patrick stood up and turned to look at Vera beside him.

Vera, with teary eyes, gazed at Patrick. "Darling."

"What's wrong?" Patrick's voice was pleasant, magnetic, with a slightly raised tone, waiting for Vera to continue.

Vera hesitated, then hugged Patrick's waist, nestling into his embrace. "Thank you."

A simple sentence conveyed Vera's understanding of his good intentions.

A smile appeared on Patrick's cold face.

He raised his hand around her slender waist, the other hand caressing the back of her head.

"Feeling better now?"

Vera nodded in his embrace.

"Get some rest early tonight. We'll take over at the hospital tomorrow."

Vera nodded again, but she didn't move away from Patrick's embrace.

After five minutes of embrace, Patrick couldn't help but remind her, "If you keep hugging me, we'll end up sleeping in the study tonight." Only then did Vera blush and release herself from Patrick's embrace.
