Chapter 94 An Afternoon Dream

Back in the ward, Patrick saw Vera chatting and laughing with her father. With her around, Shawn never felt lonely as she always found interesting topics to discuss. "Are you really taking me with you?" Shawn asked, his eyes filled with anticipation as they seemed to have reached some agreement.

Vera nodded. "Of course, Randall and I will take you there; it's a place we often visit."

Shawn nodded happily, expressing his agreement three times in a row.

"Darling, you're here. What did the doctor say? Which test should we do first?" Vera asked when she saw Patrick at the door, holding a medical report. "One step at a time," Patrick replied.

As they walked, Vera helped Shawn down from the bed, with Patrick on one side and her on the other, accompanying him for the examination. Unfortunately, it was noon, and Patrick's phone suddenly started ringing incessantly.

On their way to another floor, Patrick answered four calls, all regarding the company's next steps.

"Leave this matter for now; we'll deal with it when I get back," Patrick calmly instructed.

After hanging up, Vera suggested, "Darling, if you're busy, you should go to the office first. I can take care of Dad here at the hospital."

"It's okay," Patrick allowed Vera to look after Shawn at the hospital, though he was probably still concerned.

Vera reassured him, "Don't worry about Dad; he was in high spirits even after arguing with me just now. It seems like nothing serious."

Shawn found Vera's words a bit harsh, but indeed, there didn't seem to be any major issues. "You go ahead, Patrick. Vera will keep me company here, and you can come pick her up in the evening." Vera also nodded in agreement.

Ignoring their suggestions, Patrick set aside his phone and helped Shawn with the examination.

While Shawn was undergoing scans indoors, Vera and Patrick sat outside on chairs.

The glaring afternoon sunlight shone through the window, casting light into the corridor.

The chairs looked faded under the intense light, and Vera sat there, tilting her head back, closing her eyes, basking in the warmth of the sun.
