"What?"
I looked at him in confusion. I, who had just woke up, was in a daze.
I didn't know what he was talking about at all.
However, Patrick withdrew his hand, leaned over, lifted his clothes directly, questioning me, "Tell me, how did you make love with him?"
At the same time, he was about to go inside my body.
At this time, I wasn't sobered. And my body was stiff.
He tried hard, only to fail to come in.
At this moment, I was awake in an instant. I wanted to escape, only to be grabbed firmly by him with his hands!
He wanted to come in. But I refused. I put my legs together and scolded him. "Patrick Cowell, are you a man or not? Do you have any other skills except for forcing me?"
"Don't I have other skills?"
Patrick frowned and looked at me as if he were enjoying a joke.
It made sense. After all, nobody dared to say that Patrick wasn't capable.
If Patrick weren't capable, no man would be capable in the entire City Y.
I twisted my body and said, "Yes. You are incapable. You are trying to make love with a woman by forcing her. Are you capable in such a way?"
My words were like a slap on Patrick's face.
He looked at me with a sarcastic smile on his face.
Finally, he pulled out his hand and punched hard on the head of the bed!
I could even feel that the bed where I was lying trembled three times.
He looked down at me and asked word by word, "Is it because he is dead that you see your true heart and find that you love him instead?"
"Yes. Only after he was dead did I find out that he was the only one that was good to me in the world! At least he only loves me. And he treats me well only!"
Although what I had said sounded like a lie, it wasn't totally a lie.
The man who treated me the best was Seth, wasn't he?
Hearing my answer, Patrick frowned deeply. And his eyes were filled with dense sadness.
He just looked at me and said, "I can do so for you as well."
"Can you do that?" I looked at Patrick mockingly, "Never will you be able to do so for me unless Caroline Archer is dead someday."
At the mention of Caroline, Patrick's hand shook as he said, "I'm going to marry her. And I can give you everything else."
"I don't want it! I don't care!" I sat up from the bed, picked up the clothes on the side, and went to the bathroom.
Before I almost arrived at the bathroom, I looked back at Patrick, saying, "Unless you can make my child come back to his life. Or else, Caroline and I will be irreconcilable enemies."
I knew that my child was dead.
He would never come back to his life again.
Therefore, it was impossible for me to forgive Caroline in my life.
No matter how innocent Patrick was, he was Caroline's accomplice. I would never believe that Caroline could do whatever she wanted on her own to me when I was in prison.
My words probably had hurt him. Patrick didn't ask me to have a meal with him the next day.
I went to the dining hall alone.
When I arrived at the door of the dining hall, I happened to see Jeremy. Thinking of Nancy's matter, I stopped him and asked him why Nancy had quit the competition and how the investigation about Nancy's matter was going on.
Jeremy shook his head helplessly, "Before Nancy left, I had a talk with her. She didn't have any clue. And the monitor didn't show any suspicious scenes."
"Then why did you ask her to quit the competition? How did I feel that someone had framed her and intended to put the prize in his/her pocket?"
I didn't directly mention Mabel. But as long as Jeremy was clear about the strength of the contestants in this competition, he should know who I was referring to.
Jeremy looked up at me who was excited, saying, "Miss Archer, I know you have a good relationship with Nancy. But you'd better not speculate randomly without any solid evidence." "But you shouldn't have let Nancy withdraw from the competition!"
"It was Nancy who wanted to withdraw from the competition on her own. I also advised her. She said that she was too ashamed to stay here. And I heard from the people in her company that she had quit."
Jeremy's words shocked me.
"Has Nancy resigned?"
