Chapter 101 Vera's Rant

Vera was completely distracted during the meal.

Patrick served her food, but she didn't even notice. "What are you thinking about?"

Vera replied, "I was afraid you'd be upset if I said it."

Respecting Vera's feelings, Patrick didn't press further.

After lunch, Patrick poured Vera a cup of hot cocoa from his cup. "Did you bring your medicine?"

Vera shook her head, knowing Patrick was referring to painkillers.

Understanding, Patrick gestured toward his lounge. "Go lie down for a nap later; I'll go out and buy you a box of medicine."

"No need, dear, my abdomen doesn't hurt anymore."

Patrick was somewhat skeptical.

Vera explained, "My abdomen usually only hurts on the first day and night. If I suffer for all seven days of the month, I wouldn't have much to live for."

Patrick looked at her face and tentatively believed her words.

"Dear, go rest for a while," Vera said, "You were massaging my abdomen last night, taking care of me when I got up, and you came to the office without resting this morning. If you keep this up, your health will suffer." Patrick noticed the concern in her eyes and glanced at the lounge. "I'll..."

"Don't wait, do it now!" Vera unexpectedly became assertive.

Vera approached, wrapped her arms around Patrick's waist, and pulled him toward the lounge.

Patrick, helpless, compromised with a chuckle. "Alright, I'll go rest with you."

In the lounge, a large bed caught their eyes, with a cream-colored door beside it, and a bathroom and toilet behind.

Seeing the black bed sheets, Vera gave a disdainful look before turning to Patrick.

Patrick was amused. "Not to your liking?"

Vera replied, "My grandpa's bed sheets are fancier than yours."

Patrick asked, "Do you find me old?"

Vera shook her head. "I think you lead too monotonous a life."
