"And then?" I asked nervously.
Roger sighed and said, "Then there was a feud between them! In fact, Mr. Ma had warned Patrick before, so Patrick had been very careful. Though he almost had accidents several times, he had avoided them eventually. This time... Alas!"
Roger didn't go on, but I understood.
It was because of me.
The car drove to my house. Roger was afraid that I would ask more questions, so he turned on the radio. It was broadcasting a news, "Last night, the lion meteor shower came to the earth..."
Roger just pressed the button, and change to the music program.
Meteor shower?
When I heard the news, I immediately took out my phone and searched.
Sure enough, last night, there was a lion meteor shower!
That was why Patrick asked me to go to the mountain!
It supposed to be the reason.
Looking at the news on my phone, I felt extremely complicated and sad.
Along the way, I didn't say a word.
The next day, I went to the hospital. This time, the entire floor was surrounded by the bodyguards of the Cowell Family. I was driven out without even having the chance to lift the elevator.
I called Patrick but no one answered.
I had to stay with Glenn on weekends, so I don't have time to visit Patrick.
When I went to the hospital again after weekend, there were no bodyguards at the door like before but only an empty corridor.
Just like the first day I came here.
I stood at the end of the corridor and I realized what that meant. Still, I walked deeper into the hallway.
I walked all the way to the ward of Patrick.
The ward was empty.
The bedding on the hospital bed was laid neatly, and there was only a heating bottle on the cabinet.
He was out of the hospital.
Dejectedly, I returned to the elevator. When I passed by the nurse station, I asked the nurse again about Patrick and got the answer I had already known.
Then I got to the first floor.
When I was walking out, I suddenly saw a familiar figure!
Jeremy!
I rushed over and asked, "Jeremy, where is Patrick?"
Jeremy was not surprised at all when he saw me. He said with a uniform smile, "Hello, Miss Nolan. Mr. Cowell has been out of the hospital."
"Oh... then..."
"Mr. Cowell asked me to tell you that there should be no intersect between his and your work. So don't contact him anymore in the future unless there is something important."
Jeremy interrupted me.
Suddenly, my heart ached.
"Don't contact him anymore?"
What did this mean!?
"I have something important to tell him!" I said quickly.
Jeremy stood there, holding the thing that was discharged from the hospital, and said, "Then please tell me, and I will pass it to Mr. Cowell." "I want to see him!" I clenched my fists and said toughly, "Tell Patrick that I want to see him. No matter what happens, I want to stay with him!"
Jeremy's expression did not change. He nodded and said, "Okay, I will tell Mr. Cowell." After he finished, he asked me again, "Is there anything else, Miss Nolan? If there's nothing else, I'll go first."
Jeremy had worked for Patrick for several years.
He became more and more like Patrick when he was working.
Such a tone made it impossible for me to pester him, so I shook my head and said, "No."
"Then I'll go first. Take care, Miss Nolan."
