Chapter 529


    Gwendolyn wanted to withdraw her hand. However, Zayden''s condition made her hesitate. Currently,


    he was blind and not in the best of ces mentally. She was worried he might go mad if she were to


    reject him.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Even if she did not love Zayden, he was still her friend and savior.


    At that thought, Gwendolyn pursed her lips and closed her eyes, allowing him to slip the ring onto her


    finger. Gwendolyn felt as if she could hear the sound of her heart shattering. It was a painful and


    tormenting sensation.


    Nevertheless, she vowed to not lose sight of the person she truly loved. Patrick, wait for me. Once


    Zayden''s eyes have recovered, I''ll give him back the ring and tell him that the person I love is you.


    When Zayden saw that Gwendolyn did not reject him, he knew he had seeded. He had done so


    precisely because he knew that she was a kind person who would endure everything because of his


    blindness and mental state.


    A trace of a sneer flitted across his lips. Patrick, are you seeing this? Gwendolyn is mine! No one is


    allowed to take her away from me! I met her first, and I was also the one who saved her life. I stayed by


    her side for six years. When she was in her most helpless, wretched, and pitiful state, I was the one


    who stayed by her side. I was the one who gave her the strength to rise again. She belongs to me. She


    is mine and only mine!


    Gwendolyn took her hand back and slowly lifted her head to stare at the sky above. She felt as if her


    world had suddenly grown dimmer. Did the sky cloud over because it''s going to rain?


    However, the sunlight was brilliant when she looked up. It was so dazzling that she could barely keep


    her eyes open.


    So it turns out the sky isn''t overcast. It''s my own senses that have clouded over instead.


    Without Patrick, her world had returned to the state it had once been in—dark and without a shred of


    hope.


    Candace stood some distance away, grinning happily at the sight of her stepdaughter''s despair.


    Gwendolyn, I''d like to see if you can still fight Fel for Patrick!


    She had recorded the scene with her phone and sent it to Felicia.


    Candace wrote: Fel, Zayden proposed to Gwendolyn! You can show this video to Patrick so he would


    give up on her!


    At that moment, Felicia was with Hector. She was currently trying her best to cheer the old man up.


    Hector stared at the little y figures on the table before picking them up and examining them one by


    one. I think she''ll be a good mother since she''s good at crafts. Her children will be blessed.


    Felicia forwarded the video to Patrick after watching it.


    Meanwhile, Patrick was in the middle of a meeting. His expression was so dark that he terrified the


    employees present into holding their breaths.


    They all knew that Liam had been sent to Alendor. Hence, everyone trod carefully, afraid of making a


    mistake that would alsond them in exile.


    The meeting ended with every single proposal of theirs rejected by Patrick. He ordered them to work


    overtime to finish it.


    The employees exited the meeting room with pitiful expressions on their faces. Guess we won''t be


    going home tonight.


    They were all dismayed at the thought of probably having to stay at the office for the entire week.


    All of a sudden, Patrick felt a headache forming. He lifted a hand and pressed his brows. Just then, he


    felt a warm liquid drip from his nose. He touched it with his fingers and found them coated with blood.


    He hurriedly got up and walked into the restroom.


    The blood continued to drip down, and Patrick had to rinse his nose for a long while before it finally


    stopped.


    Patrick cupped the water in frustration and sshed it onto his face; a dark storm was brewing in his


    eyes.


    Right at that moment, he felt his phone vibrate. He grabbed some tissues and dried his hands before


    taking out his phone.


    When Patrick saw that he had received a message from Felicia, he felt the urge to immediately delete


    the message. However, a text message followed, and he identally caught a glimpse of its contents.


    The message read: Zayden proposed to Gwen.


    Furrowing his brows, Patrick tapped on the video.


    After watching the contents of the video, he hurled his phone onto the ground. His eyes filled with fury,


    and his vision turned dark as he gripped the marble sink.


    His head had started to hurt again, and his nose continued to bleed. Before he could rinse off the


    nosebleed, his vision went ck, and he fainted.
