Chapter 1613

Patrick felt like his mind was playing tricks on him today, probably because his

heart was working overtime. So, he brushed off the words he'd just overheard and cleared his throat a little too loudly, "Uh..."

Before he could finish, Grady's associate suddenly turned his head, eyes filled with a fierce intensity that swept across Patrick's face, causing him to freeze up, mind blank.

The words he meant to say got stuck in his throat, not a single syllable escaping. Once the associate realized it was Patrick, his threatening demeanor immediately vanished, replaced by the harmless, polite expression from earlier. "I'm sorry, were you about to say something?"

Patrick was so stunned his mouth formed an 'O'. It took him a moment before he managed to stammer, "... Mira's fine."

He automatically lifted his hand to point towards the hospital. The associate nodded politely in thanks and quickly headed into the hospital lobby. Patrick rubbed his eyes. Today had turned out to be the most mind-bending day of his life.
