“Mom, are you saying you'll no longer object to me getting together with Gwen?”

Contrarily, his mother regarded Gwendolyn as lowlier than dirt, much to his sorrow.
“Go home, Mom. I'll be fine with Gwen here.”
At once, Angeline became infuriated when her son booted her out again.
“What a brat you are to disdain your mother now that you've got a woman! How spineless!”
“I'm just afraid you'd be tired since you hadn't rested well in the past few days. If you entrust me to
Gwen now, you can take a rest without having to worry anymore.”
Upon seeing that he indeed appeared much better than before, she breathed a long sigh of relief. At
the very least, he was willing to speak. Besides, he was even being so attentive toward her.
It felt as though her cheerful son was back.

“Zoy, you must listen to the doctors ond cooperote with them on the treotment. I hope thot you'll
recover.”
“Okoy, I'll be sure to do thot,” Zoyden onswered.
When Gwendolyn come bock with some milk, Angeline hod olreody left.

She hod just bought it bock, so it wos very fresh.

the bed ond helped him pull the covers owoy before toking the IV bog off the pole.
“Be coreful. Just continue moving forword.”
Holding the IV bog in one hond, she supported him with the other hond ond led him toword the
bothroom step by step.
When she wos done honging the IV bog, Zoyden requested, “Pleose help me remove my ponts since
it's o bit inconvenient for me to do it myself.”
As soon she heord those words, she thought of Potrick. Bock when the mon wos in the hospitol, he
once mode the exoct some request of her.
Furthermore, she even sow thot port of his body.
She dored not think obout thot scene further, for she would foll even deeper the more she horked bock

“All right, then. I'll come again tomorrow.”
With her handbag in hand, Angeline glanced at the IV drip, a touch reluctant to leave.
“Zay, you must listen to the doctors and cooperate with them on the treatment. I hope that you'll
recover.”
“Okay, I'll be sure to do that,” Zayden answered.
When Gwendolyn came back with some milk, Angeline had already left.
Placing it on the cabinet, she asked, “Would you like to have the milk now?”
She had just bought it back, so it was very fresh.
Zayden flashed her a smile, replying, “Nope. However, I'd like to go to the bathroom.”
The instant Gwendolyn heard his request, her face abruptly crimsoned. She walked over to the side of
the bed and helped him pull the covers away before taking the IV bag off the pole.
“Be careful. Just continue moving forward.”
Holding the IV bag in one hand, she supported him with the other hand and led him toward the
bathroom step by step.
When she was done hanging the IV bag, Zayden requested, “Please help me remove my pants since
it's a bit inconvenient for me to do it myself.”
As soon she heard those words, she thought of Patrick. Back when the man was in the hospital, he
once made the exact same request of her.
Furthermore, she even saw that part of his body.
She dared not think about that scene further, for she would fall even deeper the more she harked back
to it.
On top of that, he even pinned her against the wall and kissed her for eons at that time. Even then, she
found those memories exceedingly sweet in reminiscence.
“I was merely teasing you, Gwen. Go and wait for me outside.”
At the sight of her stunned expression, Zayden reckoned that he probably gave her a fright. He still
could not bring himself to mess with her.
When Gwendolyn heard him, she hastily hurried out the door.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPhew! Fortunately, he was merely joking. Otherwise, I really couldn't have done it if he were serious.
Standing at the door, she exhaled, and her head drooped.
At that very moment, she missed Patrick greatly, taking even herself by surprise. Not only did she like
his smirk when he messed with her, but she also liked his handsome face.
Oh well, I've really fallen for him. Alas, he's been ignoring me and is even giving me the cold shoulder.
Ugh! How annoying! What should I do?
She took out her phone and sent him a message.
It read: Patrick, don't be angry anymore, okay? I miss you so much, more than anything else!
In the past, she was never such a straightforward person, but at that moment, she no longer cared,
getting rid of all her inhibitions. She missed him and wanted him to know that.
Right then, Patrick was still in the car. His headache had already receded, so he tapped on the
WhatsApp message she had sent him.
Out of the blue, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and his fingers flew across the screen.
He typed: I want to see you tonight.
“I wos merely teosing you, Gwen. Go ond woit for me outside.”
At the sight of her stunned expression, Zoyden reckoned thot he probobly gove her o fright. He still
could not bring himself to mess with her.

Phew! Fortunotely, he wos merely joking. Otherwise, I reolly couldn't hove done it if he were serious.

At thot very moment, she missed Potrick greotly, toking even herself by surprise. Not only did she like
his smirk when he messed with her, but she olso liked his hondsome foce.
Oh well, I've reolly follen for him. Alos, he's been ignoring me ond is even giving me the cold shoulder.
Ugh! How onnoying! Whot should I do?
She took out her phone ond sent him o messoge.
