There was a pillar in the middle of the cell. And four people were tied to the pillar as if they were dogs with their hands tied by belts.
"Go on."
Patrick spoke.
As soon as he spoke, I saw that the ground of the cell suddenly cracked open and that the cell became two divided cages vertically.
There seemed to be a group of dogs in the cage. And the dogs looked like a pack of wolves as well.
Even though I couldn't hear the voice, I could see that the ones inside were opening their mouths, indicating that they surely were screaming!
The four ones tried to dodge as much as possible. And the wolves below kept passing their claws through the fence and began to scratch their bodies...
Just then, someone lost his balance and accidentally fell into the cage below. I saw the wolves swarming towards him!
Instantly, blood splashed on the screen! When that person's leg came up again, bones
were exposed!
I saw the four people on the screen kowtowing in the direction of the screen!
Finally, Patrick opened his mouth, "Say it or not."
I didn't know what the ones inside were talking about.
Neither did I know what Patrick was doing.
However, I stood in the back and looked at the miserable look of the four people on the screen. I could even feel the indifference of Patrick when he was facing everything.
It was as if human life was worthless in his eyes!
At that moment, my heart was filled with fear. It seemed that I had never known Patrick before!
I quietly left the study and lay quietly on the bed. The four people on the computer screen just now kept showing up in front of my eyes.
"Who are they?"
"Why did Patrick treat them like this?"
My mind was in a mess. And I even felt like I was accompanying a demon!
About an hour later, I heard the sounds of light footsteps coming from the corridor.
"Has he finished the interrogation?"
"Are those people still alive?"
Patrick came in and lay on the bed. I turned my back to him and felt that he put his arms around my waist. I couldn't help but tremble a little!
"Haven't you fallen asleep yet?"
Patrick asked behind me.
"... I..." I swallowed my saliva and hesitated for a moment. Then I said, "I am going to have an operation tomorrow. I can't fall asleep."
"Don't be afraid. I'll accompany you."
His voice was a little hoarse.
I could feel his cold hands.
I didn't say anything. I closed my eyes with ill-ease in my heart...
"Patrick Cowell, how on earth complicated are you?"
The next day, the time when I was supposed to start my treatment came...
After we arrived at the hospital, unexpectedly, the doctor said, "I am so sorry, Mr. Cowell. One of the drugs needed for the operation is imported abroad. It's out of stock recently. You may have to wait for another two weeks at least..."
"Why didn't you coordinate well in advance?"
After Patrick heard his words, an unhappy expression immediately appeared on his face.
At this moment, the scene in the video last night was all over my mind. Fearing that Patrick would do something desperate to hurt the doctor, I said quickly, "It's okay, it's okay. In fact, I am not completely mentally prepared yet. It's good to wait for another two weeks."
I forced a laugh.
Since I said that, Patrick agreed. But the expression on his face couldn't be more gloomy.
After we went back that night, Patrick held me in his arms and wanted to make love with me. But I wasn't interested at all.
