Chapter 165
No wonder, I just thought this guy looked kind of familiar.
So it was him.
She had heard this name so many times before, always in connection with Kieran and Roschelle.
Patrick, also born into a rich family, would have had a smooth future if he had followed his familyโs wishes and studied business, but he just had to study medicine. He ignored his familyโs objections and was determined to become a doctor.
After a few years of studying, his family didnโt agree at first, but they had to agree.
If I got the time right, Patrick was twenty-four this year and already had his PhD.
By now, he was probably already a rising star in the medical world.
Before she passed away, Alarieka had already heard that Patrick had become a big name in the medical field.
Patrick, what stood out about him wasnโt just his medical skills and knowledge, but also his deep devotion.
He and Roschelle were childhood friends.
Since he was little, he was Roschelleโs sidekick. His crush on Roschelle was known to everyone.
Back in high school, there were rumors that Kieran and Roschelle were dating, and Patrick rushed to Roschelleโs school at night to confront her.
The answer he got was, of course, the kind of answer that would make him sad.
Since then, Patrick got mad and left the country, and he didnโt come back for years.
In her last life, Alarieka first met Patrick a few years later.
Alarieka looked up and studied Patrickโs face carefully.
It looked really good.
Too bad, later she got disfigured to save Roschelle.
Back then when I saw him, his face was already ruined, and you couldnโt tell what he used to look like.
Itโs just that Alarieka didnโt get upset about his disfigurement.
Patrick was Roschelleโs dog, he bit anyone he saw, and he was ruthless.
In the previous life, with Roschelleโs subtle hints of self-pity and weakness, Patrick, who had always been deeply in love with her, of course didnโt let her go.
Alarieka had already been bitten by Patrick many times and was covered in wounds.
The ambulance they called for the car accident that killed her daughter had Patrick on it.
She wasnโt sure if Patrick saw or heard that there was another girl nearby who was hurt even worse.
But she was sure that if Patrick had known her daughter, who was even more badly hurt, was there too, Patrick still wouldnโt have come to save her.
If Kieran and Roschelle were the main guy and girl in a novel, then Patrick was like the second male lead who was deeply in love with the girl. Even if he couldnโt have Roschelle, he would still watch over her for his whole life.
Alarieka didnโt like Patrick at all, she even felt disgusted by him.
She didnโt look at Patrick anymore, just stared straight ahead.
Patrick propped his chin and looked at her, a smile on his lips, but the smile on his face was full yet fake: โAlarieka, you were pretty famous, everyone said you were reckless and liked Kieran.โ
Alarieka gave a slight smile, โWhat about you? Did you feel okay watching Roschelle and Kieran being all lovey-dovey?โ
Patrickโs smile froze and his face darkened. โWhat did you say?โ
Alarieka crossed her arms and jerked her chin toward Kieran and Roschelle. โItโs more interesting over there, look over there. I saw with my own eyes how much Roschelle loved Kieran. If you want to know, I can tell you too.โ
Patrick stared at her for a long time with a heavy look in his eyes.
After a moment, Patrick suddenly laughed softly, โAlarieka.โ
His voice was just as flippant and gentle as before, but there was a coldness in it: โYou really didnโt know whatโs good for you.โ
Alarieka didnโt care what Patrick said.
She picked up the water cup next to her, was about to drink, and then saw the company logo on the surface of the cup.
The Schultz Group.
That was Patrickโs family business.
The companies that could show up here were the ones that sponsored this Mcintosh Piano Competition.
Patrick noticed her pause and chuckled, โWhat? Scared already?โ
Alarieka drank a sip of water as usual and didnโt answer.
Patrick didnโt get an answer, and the smile on his lips slowly froze.
โAlarieka,โ Patrick stood up, walked over to her, leaned down and stared at her. His amber eyes looked cold.
โI was really looking forward to seeing if you would still be this calm later.โ
Alarieka suddenly felt a sinking feeling in her heart.
She looked up and met Patrickโs eyes.
Patrick had a smile on his lips and turned to leave.
He didnโt go say hi to Roschelle, but went straight to the competition.
