You Are My One and Only

Isaac frowned and called out at once, “Get the doctor here now. Tell him Old Mr. Arnold fainted.”

Right now, his mood was at an all-time low. If this alone was enough to cause Phillip to faint, then what would happen if he told him that he wanted to marry Patricia instead of Adeline?

While driving home, Patricia’s feelings were a mess.

She could not believe that she felt something when she was with Isaac earlier, but when she thought about him, she kept shaking her head.

No, she could not be like Gwen. Even if she hated Adeline, she refused to come between someone else’s relationship. She rejected the very thought of it.

When Sylvie spotted the Cancer Institute Hospital outside the window, she exclaimed, “Tricia, I haven’t seen Poppy in ages! Can we go and visit her now?”

That got Patricia out of her reverie as she wondered, How did we end up here?

This proved that she should not let her mind wander while driving. Either way, she agreed, “Okay. Let’s visit Poppy.”

She turned the car around and drove into the hospital’s basement parking lot. Soon, all four of them got into the elevator and headed for the inpatient wing where Poppy’s ward was.

Poppy was still awake, so when she saw the three children, she sat up excitedly.

“Sylvie, did you guys come to see me? I miss you all so much!”
