Mike wasn’t the least bit intimidated and went straight to meet Patrick.
Little did he know, Patrick paid no attention and shook his head, saying, “Jane needs rest. Please come back another time.”
The next second, he had the servant close the door, keeping Mike outside.
Mike looked at the closed door and tapped his cane, but he had no choice but to leave.
After Patrick walked away, he thought about another tricky matter.
Although the children had been brought back these days, due to being premature, their bodies remained weak. They had called a family doctor to attend to them, but there was still no improvement.
Patrick went to the nursery. The breath of the two children was still very weak, causing Patrick to feel distressed.
“Mr. Pansy.”
The family doctor spoke up, his eyebrows furrowed. It seemed that the situation was not good.
“In the past few days, the girl’s condition has slowly improved, but the boy’s breath is still very weak. It seems that it’s not suitable to keep him in the nursery.”
“What do you mean?”
Patrick raised an eyebrow, stroking the boy’s face. Indeed, he was much smaller than a normal newborn.
“I think it would be better to keep him in an incubator at the hospital. It may be better for his condition than staying here.”
Upon hearing this, Patrick nodded. He then had someone bring the boy to the hospital.
In the following days, the boy stayed in the incubator, but there was still no improvement.
Patrick stood by the window, watching, feeling anxious inside.
“Mr. Pansy.” Just then, the doctor approached from the side.
Patrick suppressed his worries and maintained his cold expression.
“After observing for these two days, we have found that the boy’s condition is quite serious…”
The doctor sighed lightly, even Patrick hadn’t expected it to reach this point.
“Do everything you can to treat him, regardless of the circumstances. We will accept it!”
Patrick had already prepared for the worst, hoping to save his child.
Just the thought of both children being in critical condition made his heart ache like being pricked by needles.
The doctor also sighed deeply. In such a situation, they naturally would do their best.
Feeling reassured, Patrick returned home. Jane was still in confinement and unaware of the children’s situation.
As soon as Jane saw Patrick’s car downstairs, she disregarded her weak body and rushed downstairs desperately.
She grabbed onto Patrick’s clothes and cried, shouting, “Where are my children? How are they?”
She had lost her first child due to a similar situation, and she didn’t want the same thing to happen again.
Patrick gently supported her and patiently comforted her, “Don’t worry first. The children’s condition is still fine, not as pessimistic as you think.”
Jane clearly didn’t believe his words and repeatedly asked, “Are you telling the truth? Both children were born prematurely. How could they be healthy?”
Jane herself was a well-known doctor, and she was knowledgeable about this situation. She knew what kind of situation her children would face. She just wanted to know the most truthful answer.
“Don’t you trust me?”
Patrick half-soothingly, half-deceptively coaxed her into the house and helped her cover with a thick blanket. He also prepared a hat for her.
“Right now, you’re still in confinement, and I’ll take care of everything for you. I will take good care of our children and won’t let you worry.”
Patrick didn’t want to tell Jane about the situation, fearing that she wouldn’t be able to bear it.
Finally, he managed to put Jane to sleep.
The nanny had already prepared the soup, reheating it again and again, but Jane always refused to drink it.
The nanny brought the soup to Patrick and said, “Madam has been refusing to drink it, saying that she won’t feel at ease until she sees the children.”
Patrick understood her concerns.
“Just leave it here. You don’t need to worry about it.”
Just then, there was a commotion outside the door, voices chattering and arguing nonstop.
It annoyed Patrick, who pushed open the door and found the parents of the Ragsdill family standing outside.
As soon as Patrick saw the faces of the Ragsdill family’s parents, anger surged within him that he couldn’t contain.
“I haven’t even held you accountable for what happened, and yet you dare to come here so arrogantly.”
Why did Jane give birth prematurely? Wasn’t it because of them?
Patrick knew very well that they were involved in this mess.
The reason he hadn’t pursued it was because he wanted to wait for Jane to recover before settling all the accounts one by one. Right now, he didn’t have the time or energy to deal with these matters.
“Sorry, I’ve come to apologize. I really didn’t mean it that day.” Mrs. Ragsdill appeared much more humble.
Patrick snorted coldly, not accepting her visit at all.
“We will settle our matters later. I don’t want you to appear in front of me anymore.”
He made his words clear. The most crucial thing now was to take care of the two children and Jane’s emotions. Anything else was irrelevant to him.
Obviously, Mrs. Ragsdill wasn’t going to give up so easily. Today, she had come to get a result.
“Can you let me see Jane and explain to her that I was just angry and didn’t mean to push her? I’ve always respected Jane.” Mrs. Ragsdill didn’t even believe her own words.
After all, she had badmouthed Jane before.
“If you say another word, your company’s stock will drop by a point. If you dare to come any closer, your company will be turned into a park tomorrow.”
Patrick was always ruthless and firmly opposed to such things.
“Don’t act like this. I was just joking with you. I really came to apologize. These are some things I bought, I hope you can accept them.”
As she spoke, her assistant unloaded a pile of supplements from the car. The packaging looked exquisite, but to Patrick, they were insignificant.
“Take your things and leave. Don’t appear in front of me again.”
The security guards heard the commotion and rushed out, throwing all the things Mrs. Ragsdill had brought outside.
“Remember, this kind of person is not allowed to step foot in our house again.”
This was Patrick’s bottom line.
Mrs. Ragsdill knew it was futile to continue with Patrick, but now they could only pray to save their company.
