Chapter 40
At a glance, Elizabeth knew her eldest grandson was pretending to be sick. Considering she was
fond of Patricia too, she decided to help him.
“Oh, my precious grandson! How are you feeling?”
He immediately glanced at Elizabeth discretely upon hearing that. Indeed, for someone as smart
as Isaac, how could he possibly not know Elizabeth was helping him?
Moreover, he could sense that Elizabeth was very fond of Patricia. This is a good sign!
Isaac performed his best act as though he was aiming to be nominated for a Best Actor award. His
facial expression immediately changed. Then, he raised his hand and covered his chest.
“My heart aches.”
Elizabeth secretly smiled once she saw his actions. As Isaac’s grandmother, she knew he was
serious about being together with Patricia this time. As expected, only a kind-hearted girl like Tricia
can perturb his heart.
With that, she immediately pulled Patricia’s hand to support Isaac. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
“Tricia, you help him over to the bed and lie him down. I’ll get a doctor.”
After she finished speaking, she winked at Isaac. At the same time, Isaac received her hint and
raised his eyebrows in response.
Poor Patricia. She wasn’t aware of the ‘sinister’ plot this pair of grandmother-grandson duo
schemed against her. Once Elizabeth left, Patricia went to help him to get to bed. Isaac
immediately leaned on top of her when she supported him with her body. He wrapped his arms
around her slender shoulders and hugged her tight.
As he snuggled his face into her neck, he sniffed her scent. She smells so good. Hmm… So sweet
and fragrant
Patricia nearly lost her balance. Since Isaac was half a head taller than her, she still couldn’t
withstand his body weight when he lost his center of gravity and fell on top of her.
Unfortunately, the man deliberately clung to her body and groaned softly, “It hurts—”
Every time Patricia heard this, her heart would ache a little. It was all my fault that he got hurt.
Once she thought of that, her delicate face scrunched up in worry. Then, she nervously carried half
of his body and walked out.
“Isaac, hold on a bit longer. Old Mrs. Arnold has gone to ask the doctor and will be back soon.”
As she spoke, she dragged him out of the walk-in closet. She wanted to help him onto the bed, but
she was relatively short compared to Isaac. As a result, they both fell onto the huge bed, and his
body instantly pressed on top of her.
At this rate, Patricia had used up most of her energy, and she was panting from exhaustion. She
wanted to push him off her, but she heard him saying, “Don’t move. I feel uncomfortable and can’t
breathe when you move.”
Hence, she dared not move a muscle and let him press on half her body. Additionally, Patricia felt
like Isaac seemed to be painfully clenching his hand, and he tightly wrapped his arms around her
body.
Meanwhile, Isaac was enjoying the moment. He felt very comfortable hugging her to sleep. Her
body is so soft, and she smells nice.
Therefore, he closed his eyes and said, “I’ll sleep for a while. Wake me up again when Gran
comes.”
Patricia nodded when she heard that. Regardless, she suddenly exclaimed seconds after she
nodded.
“No, you can’t sleep!”
It will be tragic if he can’t wake up as soon as he falls asleep. I’ve seen the news about this before.
Someone died of anesthesia after going to fix their teeth at the dental clinic. So I can’t let him
sleep.
Isaac puffed his warm breath on her face, making her feel quite itchy.
“It’s fine if I can’t sleep. But can we do something else? Otherwise, I’ll feel very uncomfortable.”
Patricia blinked up at him innocently as she looked at him. Since Isaac was on top of her right now,
she could sense the fresh mint scent on his body and thought that it smelt great.
“Aren’t you unable to move? What can you do?”
A roguish smile appeared on his face once he heard her inquiry.
“Can I kiss you? I feel like I can forget the pain I feel when I kiss you.”
Even though it sounded like he was acting glib, Isaac was speaking the truth. When he kissed her,
he had this particular feeling like he was in those dreams he had six years ago.
At first, Patricia was stunned for a moment. Then, she shook her head frantically.
“No! No! I don’t like it. So don’t you dare forcefully kiss me in the future! Otherwise, I will fight you.”
That was her bottom line. No one was allowed to force her to do something that she was unwilling
to do.
Isaac sensed that she was genuinely reluctant about the idea of kissing him, so he thought, It
looks like I have to take things slowly in the future. That’s fine. I’m not in a hurry anyway.
“I’m just messing with you. I’ll sleep for a while, and don’t worry. I will wake up.”
Since he couldn’t do anything with her while hugging her like this, he felt sleeping was the safest
option for him as he couldn’t concentrate much.
Elizabeth never came back. Patricia kept waiting for her, and she eventually fell asleep.
When Patricia woke up the next day, she felt that she had slept well last night. It was the best
sleep I had had in all these years. Finally, she rubbed the sleep away from her eyes and then
spread her arms wide to the side, making an angel wing pose.
This feels good!
The man who was sleeping beside her instantly let out a groan. Shortly after, a stream of warm
liquid could be seen flowing down his nostrils.
