Chapter 88

Patrick Banks POV

I was on my way out because Jessica called to say Noah had just been rushed to the hospital. But I ran into Valerie in the hallway and had to stop because her eyes looked red.

I just wanted to check if she was okay.

“Have you been crying? Valerie? Are you good?” I asked with a hint of concern in my voice. The last time I saw her, she was going out but refused to tell me when I asked her where she was off to.

I couldn’t help but wonder what happened.

She stepped back instantly as I tried to touch her. “Don’t fucking touch me.” She snapped, her gaze burning with fury. “You’ve ruined everything for me. I hate you so much.”

I blinked, letting out a sharp exhale.

“What are you talking about?” I asked, genuinely confused.

Valerie scoffed. “You should be happy now. You’re happy now. You’ve finally gotten what you wanted.” She continued, her voice laced with disdain.

I honestly had no idea what she was talking about.
