Chapter 435 The Wronged Vera

Vera felt the tears welling up again, her breath hitching before the tears fully broke through. At the sound of her stifled sobs, Patrick knew she was crying once more.

He looked up, seeing her eyes red and puffy. "Hold it together. No more tears."

Vera felt wronged; she wasn't even allowed to cry.

Patrick, feeling sorry for her, pressed her instep gently, leaving a small dent.

He asked, "Does it hurt when you walk?"

Vera nodded.

Patrick stood up and asked, "Is there anywhere else you feel uncomfortable?"

Vera started to complain, "My stomach hurts, my gums are bleeding, and I had nightmares last night. At night, I can't cover myself with the blanket if I prop my legs up. If I cover myself, I can't prop my legs up. The pillow is too low, and it's uncomfortable to prop my legs up." As Vera spoke, she gradually ignored Patrick. She was clearly being pampered, but by the end, it seemed like she had a point.

Patrick, usually so composed, couldn't help but chuckle at her last remark.

When they slept in the bed at the Olteran Manor, his legs were Vera's support. She was used to sleeping with her legs on his. Now that Vera was at her parents' home and she had no place to prop her legs, she was indeed quite aggrieved. Patrick teased, "One day without seeing me, and you have so many ailments?"

Vera lowered her head dejectedly. "Honey, do you think I'm being too delicate?"

Knowing he couldn't intimidate her anymore, Patrick softened his approach and gently pinched her nose with a fond smile.

"Maybe a little," he said. After a couple of seconds, he added, "But I like it."

Vera looked up, her eyes meeting his, seeing nothing but affection.
