Zayden's eyes flickered slightly, and a smile played about his lips.

“Mom, are you saying you'll no longer object to me getting together with Gwen?”

This is fantastic news! I've tried so hard to persuade her for so many years, yet she never oncerelented, always coercing me into attending blind dates. Yet, she has now agreed! Sure enough, herheart softens when I'm now blind.

Seeing his sheer delight, Angeline stated coldly, “Don't rejoice so early. I've got to test her first. Only ifshe really takes good care of you and sticks by you through thick and thin will she have the right tomarry into the Surrington family. Otherwise, that will be nothing more than a pipe dream!”

As expected, she only acceded because her son was blind and needed someone to look after him.

Verily, that had Zayden feeling pretty chagrined. To him, Gwendolyn was the best woman in the world,and he was the one unworthy of her.

Contrarily, his mother regarded Gwendolyn as lowlier than dirt, much to his sorrow.

“Go home, Mom. I'll be fine with Gwen here.”

At once, Angeline became infuriated when her son booted her out again.

“What a brat you are to disdain your mother now that you've got a woman! How spineless!”

“I'm just afraid you'd be tired since you hadn't rested well in the past few days. If you entrust me toGwen now, you can take a rest without having to worry anymore.”

Upon seeing that he indeed appeared much better than before, she breathed a long sigh of relief. Atthe very least, he was willing to speak. Besides, he was even being so attentive toward her.

It felt as though her cheerful son was back.

“All right, then. I'll come again tomorrow.”

With her handbag in hand, Angeline glanced at the IV drip, a touch reluctant to leave.

“Zay, you must listen to the doctors and cooperate with them on the treatment. I hope that you'llrecover.”

“Okay, I'll be sure to do that,” Zayden answered.

When Gwendolyn came back with some milk, Angeline had already left.

Placing it on the cabinet, she asked, “Would you like to have the milk now?”

She had just bought it back, so it was very fresh.

Zayden flashed her a smile, replying, “Nope. However, I'd like to go to the bathroom.”

The instant Gwendolyn heard his request, her face abruptly crimsoned. She walked over to the side ofthe bed and helped him pull the covers away before taking the IV bag off the pole.

“Be careful. Just continue moving forward.”

Holding the IV bag in one hand, she supported him with the other hand and led him toward thebathroom step by step.

When she was done hanging the IV bag, Zayden requested, “Please help me remove my pants sinceit's a bit inconvenient for me to do it myself.”

As soon she heard those words, she thought of Patrick. Back when the man was in the hospital, heonce made the exact same request of her.

Furthermore, she even saw that part of his body.

She dared not think about that scene further, for she would fall even deeper the more she harked backto it.

On top of that, he even pinned her against the wall and kissed her for eons at that time. Even then, shefound those memories exceedingly sweet in reminiscence.

“I was merely teasing you, Gwen. Go and wait for me outside.”

At the sight of her stunned expression, Zayden reckoned that he probably gave her a fright. He stillcould not bring himself to mess with her.

When Gwendolyn heard him, she hastily hurried out the door.

Phew! Fortunately, he was merely joking. Otherwise, I really couldn't have done it if he were serious.

Standing at the door, she exhaled, and her head drooped.

At that very moment, she missed Patrick greatly, taking even herself by surprise. Not only did she likehis smirk when he messed with her, but she also liked his handsome face.

Oh well, I've really fallen for him. Alas, he's been ignoring me and is even giving me the cold shoulder.Ugh! How annoying! What should I do?

She took out her phone and sent him a message.

It read: Patrick, don't be angry anymore, okay? I miss you so much, more than anything else!

In the past, she was never such a straightforward person, but at that moment, she no longer cared,getting rid of all her inhibitions. She missed him and wanted him to know that.

Right then, Patrick was still in the car. His headache had already receded, so he tapped on theWhatsApp message she had sent him.

Out of the blue, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and his fingers flew across the screen.

He typed: I want to see you tonight.
