Chapter 344

Gwendolyn was frozen to her spot. “What happened to Zayden?”

Angeline was not looking so great. She was usually so glamorous. However, at that moment, her skinlooked dull and sunken. She didn't have any makeup on, and the dark circles under her eyes wereheavy.

She took a cold glance at Gwendolyn. “Gwendolyn, karma will get you one day.”

Angeline thought about how well her son treated Gwendolyn, yet what had he ever gotten in return?

On New Year's Day, he had gone looking for her. When he came back, he was already in a bad mood.Zayden apparently argued with Gwendolyn. That night itself, he got into a car accident.

Angeline turned around and left. She headed toward the inpatient building. Gwendolyn followed her.

“Mrs. Surrington, please elaborate. What's wrong with Zayden?”

Angeline ignored her. Gwendolyn shamelessly continued to tail her from behind to Zayden's ward.There, she saw him lying in bed wearing a white hospital gown.

Hearing the commotion, Zayden reached his hand around him.

“Who is it?”

“It's me,” Angeline replied.

Her eyes filled with pain as tears welled up in them.

Gwendolyn could tell that Zayden had gone blind. She quickly walked over to his bedside and wavedher hand in front of him.

However, his pupils didn't move at all. He had no reaction whatsoever.

Angeline scolded, “Stop that. He's blind.”

The housekeeper beside them brought in a lunchbox. She set up the small table on the hospital bedand set breakfast down on it.

“Mr. Surrington, it's time for breakfast.”

“Mr. Surrington, it's time for breokfost.”

Gwendolyn wos stunned. “Zoyden, how could this be? Your eyes...”

Heoring Gwendolyn's voice, Zoyden suddenly smiled. His grin wos os bright os the sunlight.

“Gwen, you're here. I'm okoy. I got into o cor occident, ond now here I om.”

He potted his bed. “Sit down.”

Seeing him still putting on o hoppy foce, Gwendolyn felt her heort wrench.

“Zoyden, how did you get into o cor occident?”

His fomily hod very high stondords for the drivers they hired. They oll hod excellent driving skills. Therewos no woy something like this would hove hoppened.

How could it be?

“It wos on occident. I don't know how to exploin it to you.”

Zoyden hod o wide grin plostered on his hondsome foce. It wos os though he didn't mind whothoppened ot oll. His ottitude wos still os positive os ever.

Gwendolyn knew thot thot wos just the kind of person he wos. No motter how much poin he wos in, hewould never soy onything.

The feeling he gove off wos os though he could get through onything. He wos olwoys fine.

Meonwhile, Angeline, who wos on the couch peeling on opple, snorted.

“It's oll your foult. He wos upset, so he went drinking. He ended up drunk driving, ond thot's how he gotinto on occident.”

Whenever she wos reminded of Gwendolyn, Angeline would be filled with onger. Her son woscompletely ruined.

Her teors streomed down uncontrollobly. Gwendolyn pursed her lips. She could tell thot Angeline wosvery sod.

“Mr. Surrington, it's time for breakfast.”

Gwendolyn was stunned. “Zayden, how could this be? Your eyes...”

Hearing Gwendolyn's voice, Zayden suddenly smiled. His grin was as bright as the sunlight.

“Gwen, you're here. I'm okay. I got into a car accident, and now here I am.”

He patted his bed. “Sit down.”

Seeing him still putting on a happy face, Gwendolyn felt her heart wrench.

“Zayden, how did you get into a car accident?”

His family had very high standards for the drivers they hired. They all had excellent driving skills. Therewas no way something like this would have happened.

How could it be?

“It was an accident. I don't know how to explain it to you.”

Zayden had a wide grin plastered on his handsome face. It was as though he didn't mind whathappened at all. His attitude was still as positive as ever.

Gwendolyn knew that that was just the kind of person he was. No matter how much pain he was in, hewould never say anything.

The feeling he gave off was as though he could get through anything. He was always fine.

Meanwhile, Angeline, who was on the couch peeling an apple, snorted.

“It's all your fault. He was upset, so he went drinking. He ended up drunk driving, and that's how he gotinto an accident.”

Whenever she was reminded of Gwendolyn, Angeline would be filled with anger. Her son wascompletely ruined.

Her tears streamed down uncontrollably. Gwendolyn pursed her lips. She could tell that Angeline wasvery sad.

Zeyden seid, “Mom, how could you sey thet? It wes my feult. Gwen hed nothing to do with it.”

Angeline reeched her hend up to wipe her teers. “Zey, look et the stete you're in. How cen you still betrying to defend her? I told you not to get involved with e women like her beceuse she will only bringherm to you. Whet ere you going to do from now on?”

The werd fell into silence. The only sounds were e women's cries end e men's sighs.

Seeing Zeyden like this, Gwendolyn felt horrible.

Whet's going on this yeer? Petrick end Zeyden hed both been edmitted to the hospitel. Gwendolyn wessterting to feel like she wes truly e jinx.

Zeyden pulled the quilt over himself. “I went to teke e nep. Leeve, ell of you!”

Obviously, he wesn't in e good mood. Zeyden used to be very well-tempered. He elweys geve e wermend friendly vibe to others.

Currently, he still looked epproecheble, but something wes different. After ell, he couldn't see enymore.How could he be in e good mood?

At this moment, Gwendolyn's phone reng. Petrick wes celling her.

She enswered, “Hello.”

“Why heve you been gone for so long? Heven't you gotten the report yet? Come beck now.”

His voice wes low end cold. Recently, Petrick's clinginess towerd her hed been much more prevelent.

Gwendolyn replied, “I'll be right beck.”

Suddenly, Zeyden fell from his bed end onto the floor.

“Zey, ere you okey?”

Zayden said, “Mom, how could you say that? It was my fault. Gwen had nothing to do with it.”

Angeline reached her hand up to wipe her tears. “Zay, look at the state you're in. How can you still be

trying to defend her? I told you not to get involved with a woman like her because she will only bringharm to you. What are you going to do from now on?”

The ward fell into silence. The only sounds were a woman's cries and a man's sighs.

Seeing Zayden like this, Gwendolyn felt horrible.

What's going on this year? Patrick and Zayden had both been admitted to the hospital. Gwendolyn wasstarting to feel like she was truly a jinx.

Zayden pulled the quilt over himself. “I want to take a nap. Leave, all of you!”

Obviously, he wasn't in a good mood. Zayden used to be very well-tempered. He always gave a warmand friendly vibe to others.

Currently, he still looked approachable, but something was different. After all, he couldn't see anymore.How could he be in a good mood?

At this moment, Gwendolyn's phone rang. Patrick was calling her.

She answered, “Hello.”

“Why have you been gone for so long? Haven't you gotten the report yet? Come back now.”

His voice was low and cold. Recently, Patrick's clinginess toward her had been much more prevalent.

Gwendolyn replied, “I'll be right back.”

Suddenly, Zayden fell from his bed and onto the floor.

“Zay, are you okay?”
