Chapter 248

Gwendolyn gave Rosalie her phone for the latter to input the number while mentally rejoicing that shehad gained another potential customer.

After adding Gwendolyn's phone number, Rosalie saved her contact with a remark that read: Patrick'sPlaything.

Her large eyes wandered as she sketched a plan to get closer to Gwendolyn from then on. If she couldhave a good relationship with Gwendolyn, then she would naturally meet Patrick sooner or later.

After Alice and Linda finished chatting, the former called Gwendolyn, “Let's go, Gwen.”

Gwendolyn then bid farewell to Rosalie and Linda before getting inside Alice's car and leaving CorvinStreet.

Inside the car, Alice held Gwendolyn's hand and apologized, “I'm sorry for making you go through all ofthat, Gwen. It's not like I can't help you, but I just hope that you can adapt to this kind of gathering sinceyou will be attending more of them in the future.”

Alice did not like this kind of gathering where the ladies from rich and influential families gathered.However, she was a part of the Lowen family, so she had an obligation to attend such gatherings.

Gwendolyn smiled and said, “I am fine, Old Mrs. Lowen. Please don't apologize.”

Gwendolyn just felt that being able to watch Candace being isolated and sitting at the farthest tablewas undeniably pleasant. Candace definitely did not have a good time that day.

“That's good, then,” said Alice with a nod.

She felt that the younger woman was very caring and sensible, so she was even more pleased withher.

At her age, Alice was tired after having spent most of the day outside, so she had to go straight hometo rest.

She sent Gwendolyn to Lowen Group, and after the younger woman got out of the car, the driver droveback to the Lowen residence.

Patrick was not there when Gwendolyn returned to the office.

She put down her handbag, went to the pantry, and poured a glass of water for herself before taking afew sips.

She found a quiet place to make a call to Lucy.

That morning was pretty hectic for her and she also had to follow Alice out after that, so she did nothave the time to call her friend.

The call was connected soon after. “Hello?”

When Gwendolyn heard Lucy's voice, she thought that the latter had just woken up.

“Did I wake you up, Luce?”

Lucy immediately sobered up when she heard Gwendolyn's voice. She took a glance around the roomand found that the place was quite familiar. After all, she had been there more than ten times.

“Sorry, Gwen. I drank too much last night, so I slept in.”

As a matter of fact, that was not the truth. After being picked up by a certain man last night, she spentmost of the night with him in bed.

That man was energetic, and she could not keep up with him at all. She was so tired that she could noteven get up.

Lucas had sent someone to watch over Melanie at the hospital, so she slept at his place with peace ofmind.

If it was not for Gwendolyn's call, she did not know how long she was going to sleep.

Gwendolyn was relieved after hearing her excuse. “I'm just checking up on you because I'm worried.Lucas didn't bully you after taking you away last night, did he?”

Lucy got up and put on her pajamas. Her throat was parched, so she went to the kitchen to pour herselfa glass of water.

When she walked into the kitchen, she saw a note on the table.

The note read: Lucy, my team has a mission, so I have to go back. I'll leave this condominium to you.

There was a grant for the condominium underneath the note and a black card.

Lucy's face turned pale, and she mumbled to herself, “He ran away?”

Gwendolyn just wanted to express her worries and also ask Lucy about something. Before she coulddo that, however, she heard Lucy mumbling.

“What did you say? Who ran away?”

Lucy slammed her palm on the table, right on top of the grant. Her eyes were filled withdisappointment.

“It's Lucas. He ran away.”

Lucas had agreed to donate his bone marrow to Melanie on Friday but did not keep his words. Theymade an agreement that Lucy would be with him for a month. Whenever he called, she would comeover and sleep with him.

Lucy's only wish was for Melanie to live. She was willing to do anything for that wish to become areality.

However, Lucas actually lied to her.

Bastard... You bastard...

Gwendolyn did not understand what was happening. “Luce, are you still waiting for Lucas' bonemarrow because you haven't found another person that matches?”

Lucy was not in the mood to discuss this matter at the moment. Her voice was very hoarse as she said,“Gwen, I have to hang up. I need to replace him. Let's talk about this later.”

She then hung up the call, leaving Gwendolyn staring at her phone dumbfoundedly. Her eyes blinked afew times, and Gwendolyn finally understood what had happened.

She got up and went back to the office. Patrick was already inside, and it seemed that he had justreturned.

“Mr. Lowen, do you know where Mr. Gomez is right now?”
