“The five months I mentioned he had previously was actually a rough estimation. He can hold on forthat long only if his body functions remain in good condition. This is because the virus in his body isgrowing immune to the suppressant. If he experiences several more episodes of angina, it’s unlikely hewill survive for more than a month…”

Taken aback, Gwendolyn gripped the lab report tightly, causing it to crumple in her hand.

She tried pulling herself together. “From now on, I’ll make sure he takes care of his health. I refuse tobelieve that he only has months to live. I want him to live a long and healthy life!”

Joshua was relieved to see the determination in her eyes.

“Don’t worry, Ms. Harris. I will do my utmost to treat Cedrick. I will provide you with a list of essentialcare guidelines that you should follow. There are certain things he should avoid, and he needs tomaintain a regular exercise routine, watch his diet, and manage his emotions. By adhering to thesemeasures, he’ll greatly benefit,” Joshua said.

Gwendolyn replied, “All right. Thank you.”

“You’re welcome. It’s my responsibility.” After retrieving the lab report from her, Joshua turned aroundand closed the door

Wor them.

Gwendolyn tilted her head, and her gaze shifted to the man lying on the bed. In an instant, she foundherself captivated by his deep, dark eyes. “You’re awake. Did we disturb you?”

A corner of Cedrick’s pallid lips quirked up, and he shook his head in response. “I wasn’t asleep in thefirst place. Hearing your voice makes me feel safe.”

Gwendolyn caressed his face gently and patiently. “Whenever you’re in pain, don’t suffer in silence.You have to let me know. It would upset me if you hid your pain from me. Understand?”

He nodded obediently. “Gwenny, I want a hug…”

Gwendolyn kicked off her heels, nestled into the blanket beside Cedrick, and tenderly embraced him.

Savoring the pleasant scent she emitted, Cedrick peacefully closed his eyes.

Upon recalling an important matter, he said, “By the way, we have to keep my health issue a secret,Gwenny. You must not tell the Harris family about it either.”

“I won’t, so don’t worry,” she assured him.

Cedrick held significant influence in Salinsburgh, even throughout the entire Chanaea.

If news of his critical condition were to spread, it would cause considerable upheaval for the FederalBureau of Investigation and Harris Group. Jenson Group and Yael’s family would definitely cause ahuge commotion as well if they found out about his health problem.

Once again, Cedrick closed his eyes and succumbed to sleep, comforted by her gentle reassurance.

Gwendolyn lowered her head to look at his handsome face, but she zoned out for a moment.

Before today, she had not known the incident at Fairlake’s Realm Bar would cause such great damageto Cedrick’s body.

Now that she had learned about it, her hatred toward Charles intensified even more.

Furthermore, Charles even dared to threaten her with the incident. He wants me to call off theengagement and marry him? Dream on! Cedrick is now suffering in torment because of him, yet heonly has to endure a prison sentence and live a relatively peaceful life. That punishment is not evenequal to a fraction of the harm inflicted on Cedrick!

The more Gwendolyn thought about it, the angrier she became. I can’t just sit here and do nothing. Imust teach Charles a lesson!

Meanwhile, the sound of objects breaking echoed throughout the Ferguson residence in the dead ofnight.

Eloise was once again in a fit of rage, leaving the room in complete disarray.

Gunnar stood frozen in a corner, his voice silenced by fear, unable to utter a single word.

The act of tossing things all over the place did not seem to appease Eloise.

She grabbed a bottle of high–end toner and warned Gunnar, “Don’t you dare dodge this, you uselesspiece of trash!”

Gunnar had no choice but to stand still while she viciously hurled the toner in his direction.

A loud thud resounded in the room.

Gunnar’s forehead absorbed the impact, forming a bruise and breaking the skin. Droplets of bloodspattered across his forehead.

He silently endured, not uttering a word.

Eloise’s anger

anger subsided somewhat upon seeing the blood on his forehead. “This entire situation is a result ofyour incompetence! You told me to expose Treyton’s affair through a press statement and manipulatepublic opinion to force him into submission. And what happened? A bunch of idiots! I must have beenout of my mind to take your advice!”

Treyton held a significant influence in the entertainment industry. With a mere gesture, he had thepower to completely disrupt the entertainment world.

His industry influence was immense. Despite Eloise having a press release written, no media outletdared to publish it. Even if she paid several daring small media companies to release the news, itwould quickly lose traction and disappear.

Fueled by frustration, Eloise resumed hurling objects as the image of Treyton and Jennifer beingaffectionate filled her mind.

The commotion she caused was so significant that Sherman had to go upstairs to check on her.

Just as he opened the door, an object hurtled past him, accompanied by Eloise’s furious screech. “Getout! Leave me alone if you don’t want to be hit!”

Seeing Sherman about to be struck, Gunnar swiftly intervened and took the blow, resulting in anotherbruised forehead.

He then greeted Sherman with respect, “Mr. Ferguson.”

Eloise turned around. “Oh, Sherman, it’s you. I thought it was those ignorant housekeepers again.”

Sherman let out a sigh. “If I hadn’t come, how much longer were you planning to keep up with thisrampage? Dad might lock you up again if you wake him up with all this ruckus.”

He then patted Gunnar’s shoulder and said, “Go and take a rest. You must have had a rough day. Youcan claim double the medical expenses from the butler. Tell him it’s my idea.”

“Thank you, Mr. Ferguson,” Gunnar replied.

Sherman hummed in response before sitting by Eloise’s bed.

Before he could say anything, Eloise wrapped her hands around his arm, trying to win his sympathy.“Sherman, you must help me. Treyton insists on choosing that b*tch over me. We can’t allow him tocontinue with this nonsense. It’ll bring shame to the Ferguson family!”

Sherman stroked her head but kept mum.

She continued persuading him. “Oh, by the way, you like Gwendolyn a lot, right? If you help me winback Treyton, I’ll help you pursue her!”

Sherman responded with a faint laugh. “Please don’t stir up trouble for me with all your tactics. You’reno match for her anyway. And if you want to help me, just stay away from her.”

Eloise pursed her lips, unwilling to acknowledge his words. Why should I? Gwendolyn will not let me offanyway. I’ll surely replace an opportunity to deal with that b*tch someday!

Deep in her heart, she cursed Gwendolyn and Jennifer through and through.

On the other hand, Sherman was trying to figure out a solution for her. “How about this? You’ll becelebrating your birthday in two weeks. I’ll ask Mom and Dad to throw you a grand party, and you caninvite some celebrities over to perform at the event. Sounds good?”

Eloise’s eyes brightened immediately. I’ll invite Jennifer to perform since she’s a celebrity, and whenshe does come, I’ll make sure to teach her a lesson!

Sherman continued to guide her. “Just try giving in to Treyton and show him your sincerity. Get him toattend your birthday party. Then, when he comes, you’ll be able to…”

Eloise listened closely to her brother, confident that the birthday party in two weeks would provide herwith the perfect opportunity to carry out her plans!

Eloise’s mind raced with thoughts of teaching Jennifer a lesson, but she also saw an opportunity todevise a plan to deal with Gwendolyn. After all, the latter was her fiancé’s sister. I’ll be able to kill twobirds with one stone. Watch it, b*tches. I’m gonna get you!
