Chapter 571

Suzanne frowned and lowered her head. “I understand, Mr. Surrington.”

Gwendolyn was driving a Mercedes-Benz out of the underground garage when she received a call. Itwas from Connor. He was now fully in charge of Solstice Group.

However, some contracts still required Gwendolyn's personal signature.

They agreed to meet at a cafe near the company at noon tomorrow.

When the car arrived in front of Zayden and Suzanne, the latter helped the former enter the vehicle.

Suzanne had wanted to sit with Zayden at the back, but a glance from him told her to take the frontpassenger seat.

Seeing Suzanne sitting beside her, Gwendolyn handed her a bag.

Suzanne didn't want to accept it at first because Zayden had berated her and forbidden her fromapproaching him. Basically, she was p*ssed that only Gwendolyn could care for him.

If she was chased out of her home, it'd be Gwendolyn's fault.

She pursed her lips, opened the bag, and looked inside. Her eyes widened a second later because shesaw many of her favorite snacks and lollipops.

Gwendolyn winked at her, hinting at her to stay quiet.

In response, Suzanne sent a flying kiss of gratitude to Gwendolyn.

Suzanne was ecstatic for the rest of the journey. She hugged the bag tightly and would occasionallychat with Gwendolyn.

Zayden kept staring ahead from the backseat. He was already getting pretty used to playing blind.What he did was look in only one direction without expressing any emotion instead of moving themaround casually.

Two hours later, they arrived at the hospital. After parking the car, Gwendolyn got out and helpedZayden step out.

Suzanne wanted to stick around, so she was forced to be obedient. She couldn't touch him without hispermission anymore.

She carried the bag and surveyed her surroundings. She wasn't angry anymore as she had deliciousfood to keep her company. I think my fondness for Gwendolyn is growing! Not only is she pretty, butshe's also nice! I pity her, though. She doesn't realize she's being deceived by Mr. Surrington.

While holding Zayden's arm, Gwendolyn said in a gentle voice, “Be careful, Zayden. There are stairshere.”

Zayden nodded. I can see the stairs, but it still feels nice to be looked after.

When the trio arrived at the ward on the sixteenth floor, they saw bodyguards stationed at the entrance.

The bodyguards stretched their hands to the trio upon spotting them. “This is a private ward. Please

leave.”

Zayden frowned. Suzanne was stunned, too.

She pointed at Gwendolyn. “This is Ms. Ashton. She's here to visit her grandfather.”

Oh yeah, she's the eldest daughter of the Ashton family. In that case, why did she drive such a smalland tattered car to the mansion? Even the security guards denied her entry because her car looksterrible. I can't even stare at it because it's too ugly. In fact, I'm scared of even sitting inside becauseI'm concerned I'll break something. Is it possible that she was chased out of her family? Is that whyshe's been having a rough time? In the past, I did resent Gwendolyn. However, we're friends now.She's my first friend. There's no way I won't stand by her side when she's willing to offer me so manytasty snacks!

“I'm here to visit my grandfather. Step aside.” Gwendolyn spoke, too.

The two bodyguards didn't budge as though they didn't hear what the women had said. They had nointention of backing off.

Gwendolyn frowned. Harry was the one who called me and asked me to visit Grandpa at the hospitalwhen I almost reached Dragonhill Mansion. What's going on here?

Zayden patted her hand. “No need to panic. Call Harry.” Old Mr. Ashton may be deathly sick this time,and Gwendolyn's family kicked her out some time ago. Now, there's this. I think they don't want herfighting for the inheritance.
