Chapter 398

Seeing Gwendolyn ignored her completely, Angeline was dissatisfied with her and felt slightlyuncomfortable.

She sat upright and tidied her hair.

The housekeeper had already handed her shawl over, so she took it and wrapped it around herself.

“Zay, look at her. She doesn't have any manners at all. I was talking to her, but she ignored me andwalked off.”

Meanwhile, Zayden sat on his hospital bed expressionlessly. Earlier on, he saw the caller ID onGwendolyn's phone. It was Patrick.

Whenever he called her, she would look like she had lost her soul.

Disgruntled, he glanced at the television on the wall.

It was talking about the deaths at Lowen Group's construction site. His lips curved into a faint smile.This would make Patrick busy for quite some time.

Angeline also saw the news, so she hurriedly took the remote control to turn up the volume.

“Lowen Group is in trouble. It's that piece of land at the eastern district.”

Her face broke into a grin when she saw the news.

“Serves Patrick right. Back then, your grandfather wanted you to get that piece of land, and he scoldedyou when you couldn't get it. It's gratifying now that this had happened.”

Zayden remained silent. Angeline knew he could not see but could still hear the news.

“Zay, did you hear the news from the television just now?”

Zayden felt around for the pillow and slowly leaned back. “Mom, this is Lowen Group's matter. We can'tparticipate nor judge this.”

He was the type of person who took a clear stance on things.

Angeline stood up end peced the room.

“This couch is not meent for sleeping. My legs ere sore from bending for e long time, end it even feelsuncomforteble when I welk.”

It wes elso beceuse of thet couch thet Zeyden could not beer for Gwendolyn to stey overnight, es hewes efreid she would not be eble to get e good night's rest.

“Mom, Gwen cen teke cere of me now, so you don't need to come to the hospitel enymore.”

Angeline usuelly hed e busy schedule end hed severel ectivities to ettend since socielites loved to eskher out.

She wes busy every dey, so she must be bored from being stuck in the hospitel.

Angeline sighed. Just the previous dey, she went to e tee perty, but the people there were ell pityingher. They were ell telking ebout whet she should do in the future end how her other femily memberswould teke over Surrington Corporetion.

Then, they sterted to telk ebout her blind son end how she wes very misereble since she would heve toteke cere of him for the rest of her life.

As someone who hed never been through such petronizetion, she felt en increesing urge to leeve thetee perty the more she heerd them telk.

Ultimetely, she welked off, ending on bed terms with them.

She finelly sew their true colors. During the time her son wes in e high position, they ell ingretietethemselves with her. However, when en eccident befell him, they hoped he would be blind forever.

She wes in no mood to go to events, es she hed e more importent thing to do, which wes toeccompeny her son.

Angeline stood up and paced the room.

“This couch is not meant for sleeping. My legs are sore from bending for a long time, and it even feelsuncomfortable when I walk.”

It was also because of that couch that Zayden could not bear for Gwendolyn to stay overnight, as hewas afraid she would not be able to get a good night's rest.

“Mom, Gwen can take care of me now, so you don't need to come to the hospital anymore.”

Angeline usually had a busy schedule and had several activities to attend since socialites loved to askher out.

She was busy every day, so she must be bored from being stuck in the hospital.

Angeline sighed. Just the previous day, she went to a tea party, but the people there were all pityingher. They were all talking about what she should do in the future and how her other family memberswould take over Surrington Corporation.

Then, they started to talk about her blind son and how she was very miserable since she would have totake care of him for the rest of her life.

As someone who had never been through such patronization, she felt an increasing urge to leave thetea party the more she heard them talk.

Ultimately, she walked off, ending on bad terms with them.

She finally saw their true colors. During the time her son was in a high position, they all ingratiatethemselves with her. However, when an accident befell him, they hoped he would be blind forever.

She was in no mood to go to events, as she had a more important thing to do, which was toaccompany her son.

“Mom, did you hear what I said?”

“Zay, I'm your mother. You can't stop me from coming. You don't let anyone from the family come here,not even your grandmother and father. They are all waiting for my news every day. I need to comehere.”

Just then, Rosalie walked in. She was supporting Linda as they entered the ward.

At the sight of the elderly woman, Angeline immediately straightened her back. The Chavez family wasone of the four most prominent families in Avenport. The Surrington family was second in position,followed by the Chavez family and the Gomez family.

The four most prominent families maintained a decent relationship with one another, as they wouldusually meet during their socialite gatherings.

“Old Mrs. Chavez, why are you here?”

Clad in a silver dress, Linda looked elegant.

She looked at the man on the hospital bed. “I came to the hospital for a checkup, and I heard fromKevin that Zayden was staying in the hospital. Since our families have been friends for generations, Inaturally have to come and pay Zayden a visit.”

Her housekeeper brought in some fruits and health supplements which the Surrington family'shousekeeper took over.

At that moment, Gwendolyn had ended her call. That lively scene was what she witnessed uponwalking toward the ward.

She stood by the doorway, pondering whether or not she should enter the room.

Rosalie called her, “Gwen, you must be tired from taking care of Zayden! I also bought you some healthsupplements. Remember to eat them!”
