Chapter 338 Hateful And Poor (2/2)

uted back to Rachel through the gaps in the bars.

When Rachel confirmed that it was James, she looked around suspiciously. 'Since James is here, where is Patrick? Will he come here again? He doesn't fear anything and might seek more trouble!'

She was worried just like how a burned child would dread fire.

”Don't worry. Patrick is not here with me even if he wished so. But he can't because he is in the hospital right now.” James said in a sad voice.

Rachel paused for a moment and slightly sighed. ”Really? Then why aren't you in the hospital looking after him?”

James hesitated and replied,”Patrick... He... Would you show him a bit of mercy and go see him in the hospital?”

Rachel went into silence. She couldn't believe what James was asking of her.

”James, I'm sorry. You should know that things have gone sour between me and Patrick. I don't think it's a good idea to even get close with him and make things more complicated. It wouldn't be good for either of us.”

She knew that she couldn't go soft on him again. If she went to see him, she would mislead Patrick again and it would only harm them both.

”But! Patrick is miserable right now! His father already doesn't care whether he is dead or alive. Three years ago, he got seriously sick. Although he had recovered, he hasn't been completely cured. A few days ago, he had a fight with Mr. Rong and that severely affected his condition. He is in a much worse state now! Now, he...”

James broke down. He couldn't hold tears any more and sank down to his knees, his hands clutching the bars of the fence.

”I'm sorry. I know you're Mrs. Rong now. I know that what I'm doing will get you in trouble. But it really breaks my heart to see Patrick going through all this pain. He's already been in the hospital for few days. None of his relatives have come to see him, only some friends like us.

Please! I'm begging you!” He wept. ”Would you please go see him in the hospital? Even just one glance or one word!”

James was close to kissing Rachel's feet to get her sympathy.
