Chapter 385

“You spent most of your time at the hospital looking after Melanie. As for me, I was busy taking care of Patrick a little while ago, and now, I have to take care of Zayden every day. Honestly, the hospital isn't a nice place.”

Although Zayden and Patrick were both admitted to individual VIP wards where no other patients were present, she inevitably saw her fair share of last goodbyes and despair after walking around hospitals that often.

Having stayed at the hospital for some time, she felt her mood would also be affected. Perhaps that was why she could never become a doctor in her lifetime.

Watching people die every day or seeing someone be diagnosed with a terminal illness made her sad.

“What happened to Zayden?”

Even though Lucy was not close to Zayden, she was still acquainted with him. Moreover, he had previously helped her contact doctors. Of course, he was only willing to help her because of Gwendolyn.

Even so, she felt she should visit him when he was ill at the moment.

“He got into a car accident during New Year and lost his sight.”

“What?”

Lucy's mouth fell slightly agape, and she heaved a sigh. “How could that be? He's such a good person. Gwen, I'll go and visit him tomorrow. Which hospital is he at?”

“This one,” Gwendolyn said as she sent Lucy the hospital's address.

“Gwen, is Patrick okay with you taking care of Zayden like this?”

Lucy felt that Patrick would surely disapprove of it. After all, she had seen how petty Lucas could be. Back when she had just signed a contract with him, she still went to work at Night City.

Since she sold liquor, it was only natural that she would have to drink on the job. The male customers would also always seize the opportunity to take advantage of her.

Once, a man placed his hand on her shoulder and tried to lead her somewhere when Lucas dragged him away. By the time she hurried outside, the man was so severely beaten that he was practically unrecognizable.

That was the first time she experienced the intensity of a man's possessiveness.

After that incident, Lucas continued hanging around Night City for some time, keeping a close eye on her.

Anyone who dared to get too close to her would get beaten up. In the end, he told her to quit her job and prohibited her from having contact with other men.

“We may only be in a contractual relationship, but as long as the contract is still valid, please watch yourself,” he had said.

Considering that Patrick and Lucas were good friends and they were both born with silver spoons in their mouths, Lucy guessed that their preferences would be pretty similar.

There was a long pause before Gwendolyn finally replied, “What do you think?”

That man fired me because of this incident. He was livid at the time.

“Gwen, men care a lot about such a matter. Besides, you know very well that Zayden harbors feelings for you. You need to handle this properly.”

“Got it,” Gwendolyn answered, feeling the onset of a headache.

Before hanging up, Lucy could not refrain from adding, “There's nothing an intimate session can't solve.”

She hung up immediately after that, leaving Gwendolyn puzzled. What on earth is she talking about?

If it were before, there was no way the latter would have understood it. However, it became clear to the current her in an instant, and a blush crept to her cheeks.

Holding her phone, she sent Lucy a text message: Lucy Baker, come clean. How do you know so much about that? Is it because romance has sparked between you and Mr. Gomez?

Lucy replied: I'm being serious, Gwen. If you don't believe me, give it a try. As long as you take a little more initiative, Mr. Lowen will surely surrender to you. She ended the message with two smirking face emojis.

Gwendolyn stared at the two emojis and took a deep breath.

Kevin said Patrick isn't supposed to engage in strenuous activities, but I can. I'll go and appease him tonight. After all, I'll have to stay by Zayden's side for as long as his sight doesn't recover. If I manage to pacify Patrick now, it'll make things easier for me in the future.

After getting the report, Gwendolyn glanced through it but soon gave up when she realized she could not make sense of it.

She walked back to the inpatient building with the report, handed it to one of the nurses at the nurses' station, and returned to the ward.

Zayden was listening to opera music while leaning against the headboard. Gwendolyn used to be quite fond of listening to operas. However, she had not done so in many years since she started getting too busy juggling life's demands and raising her children.

“Zayden, Brian will stay with you tonight. I'm going home to check on the kids.”
