Just then, Angeline walked into the room. Upon noticing Gwendolyn was on the phone, she asked thehousekeeper to put the fruits they brought on the counter.

When Gwendolyn saw them, she nodded at Angeline as a greeting.

Angeline headed straight into the ward while the housekeeper washed the fruits outside.

“Mr. Derner, I'm busy now. I'll hang up the call first.”

Liam said reluctantly, “Ms. Ashton, you must come back!”

Amused by his tone, Gwendolyn chuckled and said, “Okay. I will.”

I know Patrick's anger toward me is merely temporary. Both of us are a little impulsive today. Inhindsight, I don't think it's a big deal. Patrick is a little difficult to deal with, so he needs someone toappease him when he's angry. I'm sure everything will be fine once I mollify him later.

As she thought of that, she was back in a good mood.

After walking into the ward, she saw Angeline pull the covers up around Zayden, then sit beside thebed and stare at him for a long time.

Gwendolyn could clearly see the tears in the older woman's eyes. As a mother, it must be hard for Mrs.Surrington to see her son in that state.

It was evident that Angeline had changed a lot over that period.

Back then, she was energetic, beautiful, and elegant.

As of then, not only did she look listless, but she also lost a lot of weight.

Gwendolyn whispered, “Mrs. Surrington, Zayden has just fallen asleep. Why don't you take some reston the couch?”

It was lunch break. She made that suggestion because she could tell Angeline did not have a goodnight's sleep again. After all, the dark circles under the latter's eyes were heavy and visible.

Angeline threw her an impassive glance. “I'm not tired.”

Her attitude toward Gwendolyn was as bad as usual. Upon hearing that, the younger woman did notsay anything else. Sitting on the couch, she took out her phone and started studying.

Although she had not been attending classes at school recently, Tiffany was so kind as to sendGwendolyn all the materials in the lessons so that the latter could review everything at home.

Gwendolyn felt that she had met a benefactor. With such a precious opportunity bestowed upon her,she swore to study hard.

At that moment, a call from Tiffany came through on her phone, and she answered it instantly. “Tiffany.”

She stood up and walked out of the ward. Fortunately, Zayden had taken some medicine that aidedwith his sleep. The doctor prescribed those pills for him so that he could relax his mind and stopoverthinking.

Watching Gwendolyn walk out of the ward, Angeline glared at her to express her displeasure at theyounger woman for not silencing her phone.

Gwendolyn headed to the reception room outside to talk on her phone. As she stepped outside theward, the housekeeper said, “Ms. Ashton, I've washed all the fruits.”

In response, Gwendolyn inclined her head slightly, then walked to the window to talk with Tiffany.

“Gwen, the collection you designed this time is selling well and has even won you an award! Go toFrosa with me next Saturday to receive the award.”

The fashion sphere in Frosa was renowned worldwide. If Gwendolyn could receive an award from thefashion scene there, she would gain a foothold in the field.

It was a perfect, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Hence, Tiffany hoped Gwendolyn would cherish it.

Gwendolyn was extremely excited to hear that. “Sure! I'm free on that day.”

In fact, she would still try her best to make time for it even if she was busy.

“Gwen, you're talented at designing. Keep it up!”

“Thank you, Tiffany!”

Tiffany added, “I'll introduce a friend to you on that day. You'd be glad to meet them!”

Upon hearing that, Gwendolyn chuckled. The person Tiffany plans to introduce me to should be fromthe fashion industry. They'd be important connections to me.

After the phone call, Gwendolyn was in good spirits.

When she returned to the ward, Zayden had already woken up. Angeline was wiping his face for him atthe moment.

“Zay, how are you feeling today? Do you want me to bring you out for a walk?”

She intended to bring her son out to bask in the sun. It was spring, and the sunlight was warm.

Zayden had been staying in his ward since he was admitted to the hospital. Other than forexaminations, he never stepped out.

“I don't want to go out,” he replied indifferently.

Angeline sighed. She turned to look at Gwendolyn, signaling her to persuade him. After all, his healthmight get affected if he stayed indoors for a long time.

Gwendolyn immediately understood what she was trying to say. Even the doctor asked Zayden to goout and get some fresh air frequently, as it was important for his eyes to get some stimulation from thebright sunlight.
