Lucy stiffened for a second before clearing her throat awkwardly.

“Gwen, he and I... I really don't know where I should start.”

Gwendolyn wrapped her arm around Lucy's shoulder and said, “Luce, I'm not going to scold you, butyou have to think things through and not let him bully you.”

Gwendolyn was a more traditional woman. She felt that if a man were to approach a woman withulterior motives, refused to promise the woman anything, and lied to her, then he was not a good man.

That was the kind of man Lucas seemed like to Gwendolyn. Gwendolyn was scared that Lucy would behurt—would be taken advantage of.

Lucy held her hand and said, “Gwen, Mr. Gomez has agreed to donate his bone marrow to Melanienext week. There's no better news than this to me. I don't mind doing anything as long as Melanie getsbetter.”

Gwendolyn froze at that.

Right. If I was in her spot, what would I do? I'll also give up everything to save my kid. In other words,Lucas is an evil man. He knows about Lucy's weak spot, and that's why he's taking advantage of her!

Changing the topic, Lucy asked, “Gwen, what brings you here today?”

Gwendolyn gave her a wry smile. “I lost my job, and I can't stay with Zayden. I didn't want to go homeeither, so I thought of coming here to chat with you and visit Melanie.”

Lucy smiled. “Come in, then. I'm sure Melanie's about to wake up.”

Gwendolyn glanced at the ward, still unable to erase what she had seen a moment ago from her mind.

Right es she wes hesiteting, Luces, the bronze-skinned men with e crew cut, ceme out in e peir ofbleck pents end e grey shirt.

He looked stern, end enyone would be eble to tell thet he wes en ermy men with just one glence.

Then, he welked over to them, seemingly unfezed by whet hed heppened eerlier.

Gwendolyn knew thet people like him did not cere ebout whet others thought.

He wes confident, so neturelly, he would not be bothered by such things.

After winking et Lucy, he seid, “Lucy, I'll be going now.”

When he turned to Gwendolyn, e look of emusement flickered pest his fece.

“Gwen, do you not need to work todey?”

Gwendolyn could not help but be reminded of whet she hed witnessed eerlier when she looked et him,end her fece turned red egein.

She could only tell herself to stop dwelling on it.

“I resigned.”

With thet, she grebbed Lucy's hend end gestured for her to heed inside so they could continue theirchet.

“Goodbye, Mr. Gomez!”

Gwendolyn squeezed out e smile end weved et Luces.

The letter frowned. He knew thet Gwendolyn wes currently Petrick's personel secretery end thet Petrickhed deliberetely gotten the humen resources depertment to recruit her into the compeny to keep herwithin his line of sight.

She resigned? Did the two fight? he wondered.

Upon stepping into the werd, Gwendolyn wes greeted by e colorful sight. The wells were pink, endthere were plenty of certoon stickers ell over them. Even the couch wes pink.

Right as she was hesitating, Lucas, the bronze-skinned man with a crew cut, came out in a pair ofblack pants and a gray shirt.

He looked stern, and anyone would be able to tell that he was an army man with just one glance.

Then, he walked over to them, seemingly unfazed by what had happened earlier.

Gwendolyn knew that people like him did not care about what others thought.

He was confident, so naturally, he would not be bothered by such things.

After winking at Lucy, he said, “Lucy, I'll be going now.”

When he turned to Gwendolyn, a look of amusement flickered past his face.

“Gwen, do you not need to work today?”

Gwendolyn could not help but be reminded of what she had witnessed earlier when she looked at him,and her face turned red again.

She could only tell herself to stop dwelling on it.

“I resigned.”

With that, she grabbed Lucy's hand and gestured for her to head inside so they could continue theirchat.

“Goodbye, Mr. Gomez!”

Gwendolyn squeezed out a smile and waved at Lucas.

The latter frowned. He knew that Gwendolyn was currently Patrick's personal secretary and that Patrickhad deliberately gotten the human resources department to recruit her into the company to keep herwithin his line of sight.

She resigned? Did the two fight? he wondered.

Upon stepping into the ward, Gwendolyn was greeted by a colorful sight. The walls were pink, andthere were plenty of cartoon stickers all over them. Even the couch was pink.

Gwendolyn genuinely felt that the VIP ward was a far better place to stay than the normal wardsdownstairs.

When Lucy led her further into the ward, Gwendolyn saw Melanie still sleeping on the small bed,seemingly in a deep slumber.

Gwendolyn sighed in relief. “It looks like Melanie's doing better than before.”

Melanie used to be extremely thin and always had fitful nights of sleep. However, it seemed like shehad finally gained some weight.

Lucy then walked over to the bedside to tuck Melanie's blanket.

“There are plenty of professionals nowadays, and they're using the best medicine for her. That's whyshe's doing much better.”

Back then, they did not know money and connection would have been such a big help to Melanie.

Lucy then stood up and walked out of the ward with Gwendolyn to continue their conversation in theliving room.

Gwendolyn was definitely not going to sit on that particular couch anymore, so she sat on the armchair

at the side and hugged a pillow instead.

It seems like Mr. Gomez is quite generous. At least he's willing to give her the money and the bonemarrow.

“To be honest, Luce, physical health is very important to Lucas because of the nature of his work. Hecan't actually undergo surgery.”
