“Mr. Patrick, there’s news from old Mr. Trevino.”
The bungalow by the ferry was surrounded by a cluster of railings along the river bank. A fishing platform was built in the place where flowers and plants were supposed to grow.
The wooden balcony was comfortable in the cool autumn weather. Coupled with the huge umbrella, the tables and chairs looked even more comfortable.
Calvin waited beside Patrick with a tablet in his hand, and messages kept popping up on the screen.
Patrick placed the fishing rod in front of him and took the tablet casually. “How’s that woman?”
His voice was casual, but the expression on his face became more and more serious when he saw the message on the tablet, and the smile in his eyes gradually disappeared.
Looking at Patrick’s strange expression, Calvin didn’t know if he should tell him about Cierra’s situation.
After hesitating for a while, he spoke out the truth.
“The doctor said it’s nothing serious. As long as Miss Barton wakes up and recovers from her injuries, she’ll be fine.”
“When will she wake up?”
Patrick interrupted him abruptly, as if he didn’t care about Cierra’s injury.
Cierra was lying on the ground like a puppet, less attractive than when she was conscious.
No matter how beautiful she was, she was just like a delicate corpse. He had seen many beautiful women, so it was meaningless.
Hearing this, Calvin was stunned for a moment. “… Doctor didn’t say that. It depends on when Miss Barton is willing to wake up.”
“Quack.”
Patrick flipped through the words on the tablet and spoke.
After flipping through all the documents and chat history, Patrick threw the tablet aside and said, “Go pack up your luggage and leave New York in the afternoon. Find if there are any extra ferries. Also, pay attention to avoid the old fox’s men.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the fishing rod on the shelf had moved a little, so he went to check the fishing line, regardless of Calvin’s expression.
Calvin didn’t know what to do.
He saw messages on the tablet.
The people in Washington D.C. felt that Patrick was disobedient and wanted to replace,
At first, Calvin didn’t think that they would go too far. At most, they would scare Patrick with this trick.
But now, it seemed that they really had to support another person.
Of course, it couldn’t be ruled out that the Trevino family hoped that Draven and Patrick would fight to see which one of them was better.
But judging from the current situation, Patrick had no intention of fighting with
Draven at all.
On the other side, they seemed to have made up their minds.
Seeing that Calvin didn’t move for a long time, Patrick turned around and glanced at him impatiently. “Don’t you understand?”
The hook was empty, and all the bait had been eaten up, which made Patrick even more annoyed and impatient.
“I understand, but…”
Calvin didn’t know if he should persuade Patrick to give in to the elders of the Trevino family.
But Calvin had watched him grow up. He knew him too well. Even if he said it, it would probably be useless, and it might even make Patrick more determined to leave. So he changed his words. “It’s easy to find ferries, but what about Miss Barton? The doctor said that her ribs are still broken and it’s inconvenient for her to move. If we leave New York…”
“Calvin, aren’t you thinking too much?”
Before Calvin could finish his words, he was interrupted by Patrick’s cold voice.
Patrick didn’t even raise his head and was putting bait on the hook with his eyes. lowered. He said slowly, “What’s wrong? Are you worried about Miss Barton’s health?”
