Chapter 373

Felicia was very disappointed. Her eyes looked upward as she thought about how she could help Hector recover.

Alice was holding a rosary in her hand. She pushed each bead forward as she mumbled.

She didn't usually believe these things, but seeing the situation of the Lowen family now, she started to believe it, hoping that it would bring a new baby to the family.

She hoped that God could bless Hector to recover and that Patrick could get married and have children as soon as possible.

Most importantly, she wished that the Lowen family could have more great-grandchildren, then it would be perfect.

“Fel, as you can see, Hector has not been in good health recently. You should come to see him after some time.”

Felicia kept looking into the house, wondering what she should do next.

As she heard Alice's words, she picked up her bag and said, “Old Mrs. Lowen, I'll leave then. I'll return to visit Old Mr. Lowen after a few days.”

Upon finishing her words, she turned around, and her expression immediately turned cold. If it wasn't because she wanted to marry into the Lowen family, she wouldn't have been so nice to Alice.

That was because the person that Alice liked and supported was Gwendolyn instead of her.

As Felicia thought about that, she became unhappy, and her eyes darkened and became more sinister.

When she returned to the car, the driver asked, “Ms. Felicia, where are we heading to?”

Felicia was mad to hear the driver address her as Ms. Felicia. “Who allowed you to call me Ms. Felicia? I am Ms. Ashton.”

The driver was stunned for a moment. It was Michael's order as the Ashton family would be holding a banquet soon to bring Gwendolyn back and let everyone know she was Ms. Ashton, the eldest daughter of the Ashton family.

Looking at the puzzled driver who did not correct himself, Felicia asked coldly, “Is this Grandpa's order?”

“Yes,” the driver replied calmly and then started the car.

Felicia picked up her bag and hit the driver's head, saying, “How rude! Did I order you to start the car?”

The driver could only stop to let Felicia vent her anger on him and beat him. Only when his face was full of scratches did Felicia stop.

“Let's go! I want to go to Lowen Group.”

The driver raised his hand to touch his face and head. He was furious and felt unlucky to have to serve a person like Felicia.

Meanwhile, Gwendolyn accompanied Zayden until he finished his breakfast. Then, she packed up the meal box.

“Zayden, I have to go to work now. I won't be coming over in the afternoon. Eat your lunch obediently, and don't make me worried, okay?”

She looked at the time and it was almost nine o'clock in the morning. Fortunately, the company was nearby and would only take five minutes to drive there.

Zayden suddenly grabbed her hand. “Gwen, can you not go to work at Lowen Group anymore?”

One could obviously tell that the reason Patrick arranged for Gwendolyn to go to work at Lowen Group was that he wanted to woo her.

Gwendolyn pursed her lips as she looked at the hand Zayden was holding.

“Zayden, I can come and take care of you, but my work and lifestyle cannot be changed. Do you understand?”

Gwendolyn liked her work and life now, and she didn't want any change to it.

Zayden could tell that Gwendolyn was reluctant to leave Patrick. He began to wonder what kind of spell Patrick had put Gwendolyn under for her to be so obsessed with him.

“Gwen, I am actually very scared. My world is so dark now. I... need you.”

Gwendolyn felt a twitch in her heart as she remembered Zayden was blind now.

He must be terrified to be living in darkness.

After thinking for a moment, Gwendolyn realized this was the time for her to repay Zayden. Since Zayden needed her now, she could take a leave of absence for a while and return to work when Zayden recovered.

“Zayden, I understand how you feel. I am going to apply for leave now and will be back soon.”

She withdrew her hand and rushed out of the ward. Zayden wanted to stop her but was too late.

Gazing at her back, the light in Zayden's eyes flickered.

If Gwendolyn were to ask for leave from Patrick, they would definitely quarrel.
