Chapter 100 Mr. Pattinson Was Duped

The door was opened, and Hansel and Gretel looked at him. “Daddy, what happened?”

Mark was frustrated that he got a little too excited earlier and did not know how to explain it to them, so he said nothing and went directly to the doctor...

Meanwhile, Hansel and Gretel pushed the door and went in.

Thus, when Mark cleverly found a doctor and came back, he was greeted by a scene.

Lyla sat on the bed eating an apple while Hansel and Gretel gathered around her and talked.

Seeing this, Mark’s brain short-circuited for three seconds before he realized something. He was duped!

“Mr. Pattinson, what’s wrong?” The doctor asked him. Mark had called for him in a panic, but it seemed like nothing was wrong.

Mark gritted his teeth and reigned in his emotions, and turned to the doctor. “It’s nothing!”

The doctor’s eyes hovered between them. Lyla sat on the bed with a gloating smile, and the doctor nodded awkwardly. “Well, do call me again if you need anything!” Then, the doctor left.

As soon as the doctor left, Lyla gave a brilliant smile to Mark.

It was as if she was saying, ‘Look, fooled ya!’

Mark was exasperated and slowly walked over. Even if he was angry, he could not snap with Hansel and Gretel around.

He could only endure the anger. However, Mark Pattinson was not someone who would only silently tolerate without acting up. He would wait until no one else was present.

“Mr. Pattinson, what did you call the doctor for?” Lyla asked him. Seeing how he was suffering yet unable to speak out, Lyla felt so good she wanted to squeal.

Mark gave her a warning smile. “It’s nothing. I was bored!”

Lyla pursed her lips and snickered. This feeling of duping Mark Pattinson was really quite good!

Hansel seemed to guess something and silently hung his head. Was it really good that Mummy and Daddy were going tit for tat every day?

At that moment, Mark looked at Hansel and Gretel. “Let’s go. I’ll send you back!”

“What about Mummy?”

“Let her stay here alone!”

Lyla rolled her eyes at him. She also felt bad for the children who were accompanying her at the hospital. “Yes, you two go back first. If you’re not here, I’ll be able to sleep!”

“Yep, don’t prevent your mommy from having a good rest. Let’s go!”

Hearing Lyla say this, Hansel and Gretel nodded. “Mummy, we’ll come see you tomorrow!”

“Okay!”

“I’ll bring your clothes tomorrow!”

“I’ll make soup for you!”

The two whispered in Lyla’s ears so that she would not feel as alone in this lonely night.

Lyla nodded, and Hansel and Gretel finally left reluctantly.

Once they left, the room suddenly became quiet. Lyla did not sleep. She sat on the bed and began to think about what happened in the past two days…

……

On the other side.

At the Pattinsons’ residence.

Kathleen Turner slept until the evening and only walked down when someone came over to call her down for dinner.

There were not many people in the Pattinson residence. She only knew of the eldest, Daniel Pattinson, but had never met him before. Mark Pattinson was not present either, so there was only Logan Pattinson and a child, Jesse Pattinson.

Kathleen went down and looked at them. “Mark isn’t coming back?”

“He isn’t. Let’s eat first!” Eileen Dawson said.

Kathleen did not ask anything much and sat down.

Logan looked at her with the manner of a rich playboy. “Don’t worry, he won’t come back until Friday!”

Friday was the Pattinson family’s dinner day. It was initially started by Eileen for the opportunity to gather information, and eventually grew to what it was.

Kathleen did not think much about Logan’s words and nodded.

“I heard your dad was detained for corruption?” Logan asked while eating. He refused to act civilly to her at the thought that she would be marrying Mark Pattinson.

Kathleen’s expression changed at those words. She froze from eating and looked up at Logan, who had a smug expression.

Eileen opened her mouth. “What are you saying? Hurry up and eat!”

Eileen rarely reprimanded Logan. Being scolded by her, Logan did not say anything more and continued to eat.

Eileen looked at Kathleen. “Logan isn’t sensible. Don’t mind him!”

Kathleen shook her head and forced a smile. She suddenly thought of the phrase ‘living like a parasite under another’s roof’.

So, that was how it felt like.

She ate in silence and did not speak, and Eileen took the opportunity to glare at Logan. Logan pretended not to see and continued to eat.

Then, after eating, he said, “I’m going back to my room!” and left.

Eileen looked at Kathleen. “Eat more!”

“Mmh!” Kathleen nodded.

After dinner, Kathleen went upstairs to rest.

She showered and was just about to sleep when someone knocked on her door.

Kathleen opened the door and saw a maid standing there. “Is something wrong?”

“Ms. Turner, this is milk and is helpful for a good sleep. Drink it before you sleep!” The maid said.

Kathleen looked at the milk and accepted it with a smile. “Thank you!”

However, the maid did not leave. Kathleen looked at her. “Is there anything else?”

“You can drink the milk, Ms. Turner. I’ll take the cup down and wash it!” The maid said.

Kathleen nodded at that. “Oh, okay!” Then, she tilted her head back and gulped it down.
