Chapter 617 Not Enough Fat for Warmth

Just now, when Patrick saw Jeffrey about to jump into the river, he could've stopped him, but he didn't. Vera had no clue what Patrick was thinking. He always had his own way of handling things, and no one could figure him out. "Ulysses was just a distraction to get me out of the way. I need to find out who else is behind this!" Patrick explained. Even if Jeffrey got caught, he wouldn't spill about his buddies. Not because he wanted to protect them, but to stir up more trouble.

When Susan heard Ulysses' name, she got all nervous and asked, "Patrick, what happened to my dad?"

"Nothing, he's fine," Patrick replied.

At the hospital, Susan went with Randall for a check-up. Molly went with Vera to find Theodore's doctor for a check-up.

Sebastian and Patrick were outside, talking. "Not planning to let him get arrested?"

Patrick stood in the hospital corridor, his eyes sharp, his voice cold. "Not yet."

Sebastian picked up on Patrick's anger. "If the cops find him first, I won't tell you where he is, but I secretly hope you get to him first."

"I will," Patrick said. Then Patrick went into the exam room, watching the doctor check on Theodore.

Theodore lay on the cushion, looking at Patrick and Vera, his little mouth pouting, about to cry. "He's fine, don't worry, the kid's pretty healthy." The doctor said, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The doctor liked Theodore, holding him and not wanting to give him back to Patrick and Vera. Looking at the kid's clothes, the doctor joked, "Dress him more warmly; his little bit of fat won't be enough."

His biggest mistake today was underestimating Vera. If not for that, he wouldn't have been defeated, forcing him to flee in panic. Jeffrey walked back along the path, with each step deepening his hatred for Patrick. After today, he knew he
