Gwendolyn could slowly feel her legs starting to regain warmth. She could also feel the temperature of
the man's palms.
When he saw that she was still shivering from the cold, he set her down on the seat.
Then, he grabbed her feet and placed them under his shirt. Gwendolyn raised her head.
“Patrick, it's really cold.”
She wanted to retract her legs. She didn't even dare to think about the condition of her feet.
Even if she ignored the fact that they were icy, they were still really dirty. Isn't he a clean freak? She
didn't want to make him feel uncomfortable.
Patrick grabbed tightly onto her feet. “Don't move.”
Gwendolyn stuck her feet closely to his defined abdomen. It was very warm.
Her face blushed red, and her heart started to beat faster.
She stole a glance at his face. In the dim light, his side profile was sharp and defined.
All of a sudden, she felt like not only was this man handsome, but he was also really nice.
More than warming her feet, he was also warming her heart.
Twenty minutes later, the car pulled up to the hospital entrance.
Gwendolyn took a look at the building. It was a very famous private hospital in Avenport. More
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtaccurately, it was known for being expensive. However, it contained the most modern medical
equipment and the best medical professionals in the world.
She knew that Juliette would be getting the best possible treatments. Hence, she felt slightly more
relieved.
Unfortunately, there was no way she could afford the hospital bills there.
The car had only stopped for a short moment when Liam handed a pair of shoes through the window.
Gwendolyn said sweetly, “Thank you, Mr. Derner!”
Liam took a look over at Patrick, who was hugging Gwendolyn's feet under his shirt.
As expected, Patrick was really admirable when he fell for a woman.
In a light tone, he responded, “You should thank Mr. Lowen. He's the one who asked me to buy the
shoes.”
Gwendolyn looked over to Patrick. She pursed her lips together lightly as her eyes glimmered.
“Thank you, Mr. Lowen!”
After that, she shook her legs so that Patrick would let go and she could retract them.
She sat upright and put on the shoes.
“Are you hurt anywhere?”
The blood all over her body was a pretty frightening sight.
Gwendolyn shook her head. “No, I'm fine.”
After putting on her shoes, she hurriedly opened the car door. The first thing she wanted to do was
check on how Juliette was doing.
Patrick got out of the car too. The duo headed into the hospital together.
When the nurse at the front desk saw Patrick walk in, she immediately went over to greet him.
“Mr. Lowen.”
“Where's the little girl who came in earlier?”
The nurses did a quick check.
Then, they politely responded, “She's been admitted into a ward. Her room number is 1206.”
Gwendolyn was dumbfounded for a moment. “Doesn't she need any emergency care or surgery?”
The nurses looked back at the computer solemnly.
“Juliette has just suffered an external head injury. We've already bandaged her up. She should be
receiving an IV drip right now.”
Gwendolyn replied, “Thank you!”
She was just glad that Juliette was fine. Earlier, she had been so worried. That was why she got so

They got to the twelfth floor. Upon entering the ward, Gwendolyn's first impression of the room was that
it was more like a child's room than an actual hospital ward. The interior design was mostly warm-
toned. There were also a lot of dolls placed around the room. The windows had lace curtains on them.
The couch was cartoon-themed. Even the bed was designed like a princess bed.
Gwendolyn finally understood why the hospital charged such a high price.
In an environment like this, plus the world's top medical team, it was only natural that being treated
here would cost a lot.
She walked briskly over to the bedside. Right now, Juliette had been changed into a hospital gown. Her
head was bandaged while her arm had an IV drip needle stuck into it. She was sleeping peacefully.
Justin and Julian had initially been sitting on the couch. When they saw their mother, they went over.
“Mommy, don't worry anymore. Juliette just hurt her head. Her hands and feet have some minor
wounds, but she's fine otherwise.”
As Julian spoke, he gently patted Gwendolyn on her shoulder.
“Do you want to get checked too?”
Seeing her covered in blood, they were quite worried about her.
Justin walked over to Patrick's side and shot him a cold glance.
“Thank you, Mr. Lowen! It's getting late now. I think you should head back.”
