" Ms. Wilkinson ? " Patricia walked over to her , frowning Yakira was stunned - she actually ran into Patricia twice in one day . " Ms. Wilkinson , are you feeling unwell ? " Patricia asked , almost questioning . Knowing what Patricia was suspicious about , Yakira said , " I'm here to see a doctor . " Patricia sized her up with a scrutinizing gaze . Yakira had no intention of saying more , she had no obligation to explain to Patricia . She turned to leave . " Ms. Wilkinson , " Patricia called out to her again . " You should know Bray and I already have a child . Years ago , when Yakira had seen Brayden in the hospital with Patricia , Patricia had seen her , fo Patricia even linked arms with Brayden in front of Yakira and looked at Yakira provocatively Yakira clutched the hem of her clothes uncontrollably but didn't turn around . She curved her lips and said flatly , " Ms. McDowell , do you want me to congratulate you ? " " No need . I just wanna remind you don't do anything that will make people despise you . " Patricia said arrogantly " I know women like you . You're useless and rely solely on men , and the most important thing for you is going all out to keep a man around . I've never heard of anything more stupid than this . " Yakira's grip on the hem of her clothes tightened , but she remained a graceful smile . " Ms. McDowell , really ? You think you're in a place to lecture me so condescendingly ? Back then , you got pregnant with Brayden's baby though you knew we were married .
