Chapter 401

When Zayden tilted his head to look out the window, there was a clear blue sky interspersed with somefluffy white clouds outside.

Even though the thick essence of spring filled the air, he was unfortunately confined to his ward.

He couldn't help but feel dejected when Gwendolyn's mind was still centered on Patrick despite hiscurrent predicament.

“Mom, I would like to have some time alone.”

Angeline had never seen her son that way before.

All this while, he had a vibrant demeanor and would deal with any problems in a sensible and steadymanner. From the look on his face, he's clearly wallowing in sorrow.

As she felt a squeeze in her heart, she thought to herself, Oh God! Please don't hurt Zayden anymore.Punish me instead for whatever suffering he has to bear. He's kind and friendly to everyone he meets,so please help him feel better!

When she saw the pained look on her son's face, Angeline didn't want to go against his wishes.

As of now, everyone in the Surrington family would be mindful of his feelings and give in to whatever hewanted.

Before she took her leave, Angeline reminded him, “Zay, remember not to skip your meals.”

Upon emerging from the ward, she saw Gwendolyn leaning against the wall nearby as if she was lost inthought.

From the latter's expression, Angeline could tell that she wasn't in a good mood.

Angeline, followed by her housekeepers, strutted up to Gwendolyn in her heels.

“Gwendolyn, didn't I ask you to leave? Why are you still here?”

At the sound of Angeline's voice, Gwendolyn quickly wiped away her tears.

The thought of Zayden going blind saddened her every time. How can something like that happen tosomeone so wonderful?

“I... I was just waiting for the elevator.”

Just as she spoke, she pressed the elevator button.

Standing shoulder to shoulder, Angeline straightened her back as a cold glint flashed across her eyes.

“Gwendolyn, don't for a second think that you can win my approval just because you were of some useto Zay. Nothing will change my attitude toward you, and I don't want you in his life anymore. Also, youshould stop harboring fantasies of trying to ingratiate your way into the Surrington family.”

Gwendolyn took a deep breath, for anyone would be upset by such scathing words.

“Mrs. Surrington, I get what you're trying to convey and want to reassure you that I don't have anydesigns on him. Both of us are nothing more than friends. Also, you can rest assured that marrying intothe Surrington family has never crossed my mind.”

When the elevator coincidentally arrived, Gwendolyn strutted into it.

After Angeline followed her inside, there were four of them, including Angeline's two housekeepers.

As tension filled the air, both sides kept their distance and gave each other the cold shoulder.

Meanwhile, Felicia lingered at the kindergarten's entrance, pacing back and forth. Given that she couldlower Hector's vigilance with Juliette, she felt the urge to kidnap the latter so that she could lure Hectorto seek treatment.

As long Hector could recover, she would have defeated Gwendolyn.

With that thought in mind, she was eager to take action.

All of a sudden, her eyes lit up when she remembered that Michael and Juliette knew each other. Thus,she swiftly retrieved a picture of herself and Michael.

In reality, she had never taken a photo of two with Michael before. Instead, her mother had pushed herto Michael's side when a group photo was taken. All she did was cut herself and Michael out and makeit look like only both of them were in it.

After getting past the security guard, Felicia filled in her details and saw the teacher. She informed thelatter that she was Juliette's aunt and produced her ID card for verification.

Feeling apprehensive still, the teacher called Juliette to her side.

“Juliette, is she your aunt?”

The teacher had given Gwendolyn a call, but no one picked up. Thinking that the latter was busy, shehad no choice but to ask Juliette about it.

Standing in front of Felicia, Juliette did recognize her, although they weren't close.

Since Felicia was hostile to Gwendolyn, the little girl naturally resented the former.

Just as she shook her head and was about to deny knowing Felicia, the latter took out her phone toshow her the picture.

“Juliette, your great-grandpa asked me to pick you up. He's terribly sick and wants to see you.”
