Chapter 384

After Gwendolyn read the message from Patrick, a smile appeared on her face. Her spirits, which hadbeen low for the entire day, were instantly lifted.

Just when she was about to reply to his message, Zayden's voice rang out.

“I'm done, Gwen.”

Left with no other choice, Gwendolyn could only toss her phone onto the table at the side beforepushing the door open and entering the bathroom. By then, Zayden was already dressed. He stoodthere charmingly with a smile touching his lips.

“Did I freak you out just now?”

He had always been a tenacious man who accomplished whatever he wanted to do.

Yet, for some inexplicable reason, he seemingly turned into a different person altogether when facedwith her, losing all confidence.

In fact, he could not even bring himself to tease her.

Gwendolyn took his hand. “Don't tease me anymore in the future.”

After saying that, she smiled faintly. Naturally, she assumed that the man could not see it. At thatmoment, she could not quite keep the lid on her emotions, the corners of her mouth liftingsubconsciously.

As Zayden gazed at her sweet smile, his lips likewise curved upward. She seems to be in a goodmood.

Gwendolyn helped him onto the bed and had him sit.

While she was hanging the IV bag back onto the pole, he reached out and grasped her other hand.

“I'm glad that I have you by my side, Gwen.”

In truth, he had wanted to utter such a romantic remark long ago. Indeed, meeting her was the greatestblessing in his lifetime.

A smile fleeted across Gwendolyn's face after she had rehung the IV bag.

“Actually, this is my responsibility, Zayden. Back when you saved us, I swore to remember yourkindness.”

While speaking, she retracted her hand in a deliberate bid to keep a distance from him.

She had been doing it for the past few years, and it was even more imperative for her to do so atpresent as there was someone whom she liked.

For that man's sake, I've got to keep a distance from other men. Furthermore, he's exceedingly petty. Ifhe were to see me having physical contact with someone else, he'd definitely lose his temper andexplode with anger.

At that, her brows creased slightly.

Why do I keep thinking of him? It's only been a day since I've been away from him, yet I'm already allout of sorts. I dare not imagine how distressing it'd be if I couldn't see him for a long time.

“Have some water.”

Gwendolyn then picked up the cup of water and brought it to Zayden's lips.

He opened his mouth and took a sip of water, but his eyes remained fixated on her. When he glimpsedthe smile on her face, he was similarly in high spirits.

After he was done with the IV drip, the nurse had Gwendolyn go to the medical technology building toretrieve a copy of Zayden's medical report.

Thus, she left the ward. In reality, there were plenty of people in the ward to wait on Zayden. Whenevershe was not around, the help would enter and take good care of him.

When she walked out of the inpatient building, her phone rang.

Upon seeing that it was a call from Lucy, she answered it right away.

“Luce.”

“How's Mr. Lowen doing, Gwen? Have you understood his feelings for you this time? He almost diedbecause of you!”

Lucy's amused voice drifted into Gwendolyn's ears, upon which the latter lifted her head and gazed upat the sky.

Having stayed in the ward all day long, she suddenly realized that the air outside was great. It wasfresh.

Even the clouds in the sky were different, seemingly softer, lighter, and lovelier.

“Yeah, I know all that. How's Melanie? When is she going to have the operation?”

No sooner had she heard Lucy's voice than she inevitably thought of Melanie, feeling her heart achefor the young girl.

“She's doing pretty good. We've changed to a VIP ward, and it's much more comfortable. The operationis also being scheduled as we speak.”

That topic brought a faint blush to Lucy's cheeks.

Ever since she became entangled with Lucas, not only was there hope for Melanie, but she also hadsomeone to help her take care of her daughter. Moreover, she did not need to work at Night Cityanymore. On the whole, everything had taken a turn for the better.

However, that man always requested that she go over and keep him company at night, so she had tosuffer from his torment every night.

Gwendolyn then chuckled. “I'm glad to hear that. Say, Luce, do we have a feud with the hospital?”
