Chapter 377


    Just then, Angeline walked into the room. Upon noticing Gwendolyn was on the phone, she asked the


    housekeeper to put the fruits they brought on the counter.


    When Gwendolyn saw them, she nodded at Angeline as a greeting.


    Angeline headed straight into the ward while the housekeeper washed the fruits outside.


    “Mr. Derner, I''m busy now. I''ll hang up the call first.”


    Liam said reluctantly, “Ms. Ashton, you muste back!”


    Amused by his tone, Gwendolyn chuckled and said, “Okay. I will.”


    I know Patrick''s anger toward me is merely temporary. Both of us are a little impulsive today. In


    hindsight, I don''t think it''s a big deal. Patrick is a little difficult to deal with, so he needs someone to


    appease him when he''s angry. I''m sure everything will be fine once I mollify himter.


    As she thought of that, she was back in a good mood.


    After walking into the ward, she saw Angeline pull the covers up around Zayden, then sit beside the


    bed and stare at him for a long time.


    Gwendolyn could clearly see the tears in the older woman''s eyes. As a mother, it must be hard for Mrs.


    Surrington to see her son in that state.


    It was evident that Angeline had changed a lot over that period.


    Back then, she was energetic, beautiful, and elegant.


    As of then, not only did she look listless, but she also lost a lot of weight.


    Gwendolyn whispered, “Mrs. Surrington, Zayden has just fallen asleep. Why don''t you take some rest


    on the couch?”


    It was lunch break. She made that suggestion because she could tell Angeline did not have a good


    night''s sleep again. After all, the dark circles under thetter''s eyes were heavy and visible.


    Angeline threw her an impassive nce. “I''m not tired.”


    Her attitude toward Gwendolyn was as bad as usual. Upon hearing that, the younger woman did not


    say anything else. Sitting on the couch, she took out her phone and started studying.


    Although she had not been attending sses at school recently, Tiffany was so kind as to send


    Gwendolyn all the materials in the lessons so that thetter could review everything at home.


    Gwendolyn felt that she had met a benefactor. With such a precious opportunity bestowed upon her,


    she swore to study hard.


    At that moment, a call from Tiffany came through on her phone, and she answered it instantly. “Tiffany.”


    She stood up and walked out of the ward. Fortunately, Zayden had taken some medicine that aided


    with his sleep. The doctor prescribed those pills for him so that he could rx his mind and stop


    overthinking.


    Watching Gwendolyn walk out of the ward, Angeline red at her to express her displeasure at the


    younger woman for not silencing her phone.


    Gwendolyn headed to the reception room outside to talk on her phone. As she stepped outside the


    ward, the housekeeper said, “Ms. Ashton, I''ve washed all the fruits.”


    In response, Gwendolyn inclined her head slightly, then walked to the window to talk with Tiffany.


    “Gwen, the collection you designed this time is selling well and has even won you an award! Go to


    Frosa with me next Saturday to receive the award.”


    The fashion sphere in Frosa was renowned worldwide. If Gwendolyn could receive an award from the


    fashion scene there, she would gain a foothold in the field.


    It was a perfect, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Hence, Tiffany hoped Gwendolyn would cherish it.


    Gwendolyn was extremely excited to hear that. “Sure! I''m free on that day.”


    In fact, she would still try her best to make time for it even if she was busy.


    “Gwen, you''re talented at designing. Keep it up!”


    “Thank you, Tiffany!”


    Tiffany added, “I''ll introduce a friend to you on that day. You''d be d to meet them!”


    Upon hearing that, Gwendolyn chuckled. The person Tiffany ns to introduce me to should be from


    the fashion industry. They''d be important connections to me.

    After the phone call, Gwendolyn was in good spirits.


    When she returned to the ward, Zayden had already woken up. Angeline was wiping his face for him at


    the moment.


    “Zay, how are you feeling today? Do you want me to bring you out for a walk?”


    She intended to bring her son out to bask in the sun. It was spring, and the sunlight was warm.


    Zayden had been staying in his ward since he was admitted to the hospital. Other than for


    examinations, he never stepped out.


    “I don''t want to go out,” he replied indifferently.


    Angeline sighed. She turned to look at Gwendolyn, signaling her to persuade him. After all, his health


    might get affected if he stayed indoors for a long time.


    Gwendolyn immediately understood what she was trying to say. Even the doctor asked Zayden to go


    out and get some fresh air frequently, as it was important for his eyes to get some stimtion from the


    bright sunlight.
