    “Absolutely, let’s get Gwendolyn all dolled up. Go ahead and mix and match a look for her, try some


    makeup on Jeanne lounged on the couch, flipping through thetest fashion magazine, “These heart–


    shaped earrings, paired with a teardrop diamond ne, and let’s not forget a pair of silver stilettos.”


    “Right this way. Mrs. Chadwick.”


    Gwendolyn felt like a fish out of water in these upscale boutiques, utterly at the mercy of the stylists‘


    whims


    The dress was a piece of Iryna’s Urban Elegance collection, crafted from vintage, oil–painted silk that


    looked worn yet exuded a certain


    charm.


    It was a sexy strapless gown that bared her smooth, rounded shoulders, with a daring slit that ran up to


    her thigh.


    Gwendolyn’s figure was the envy of many, with curves in all the right ces and porcin skin that


    seemed tailor–made for such a dress.


    But she was modest by nature and had never wom anything so revealing in public before. Her hands


    instinctively covered her chest, a clear sign of her difort


    “Mrs. Chadwick, that dress looks like it was made for you. If I were a man, I’d be unable to take my


    eyes off you such a beautiful bust The boutique owner marveled, never imagining the curvaceous


    beauty thaty beneath Gwendolyn’s usual casual attire


    No wonder Mr. Chadwick was so smitten with her


    A blush crept up Gwendolyn’s cheeks, and she felt shed gained a fair bit of weight in the past three


    months, particrly in certain areas. Perhaps it was Marina’s cooking, too delectable to resist


    “Gwendolyn, this is more tempting than any battle dress Ive seen. My taste is impable”


    Jeannie’s eyes sparkled, “You’re wearing this one”


    “It’s too revealing”


    Gwendolyn felt exposed, the fabric barely covering her, and feared the slit would reveal too much with


    every step


    “Some people wish they had something to show off” Jeannie said pointedly, hinting at Selina’s less


    endowed figure


    “Gwendolyn. You’ve got to keep Howard wrapped around your finger. A rose like that at your beck and


    call, doesn’t it thrill you?”


    Gwendolyn was persuaded.


    Jeannie efficiently pulled out Howard’s credit card, “Charge it”


    “Will do.”


    The boutique owner was thrilled with the lucrative sale


    After changing out of the strapless slit gown, Gwendolyn left the studio with Jeannie.


    In the Hamilton family living room


    Derrick’s face was ashen. He tossed the hospital report aside. ude’s vitals had stabilized


    unexpectedly, with no signs of danger looming


    “What’s wrong, Daddy?” Selina cooed, hugging his arm in confusion


    Derrick shook her off, seething with anger, “This is all you’re doing”


    He thought he could rest easy after the Lopez family had given up on treatment and Gwendolyn had


    refused to save ude. But Selina had thrown a wrench in the works with her wild idea, forcing


    Gwendolyn to agree.


    Now that ude was out of danger, what if he woke up? Derick suppressed the fear churning inside


    him. In his mind, a mere girl like Gwendolyn couldn’t possibly wake ude.


    “Daddy?”


    Selina’s eyes brimmed with tears, her voice quivering with hurt


    She was the apple of his eye, and he’d never spoken to her in such a tone before

    Derrick inhaled deeply, “Selina, you can’t be rash again. You almost led to ude’s death this time.


    What if Gwendolyn decided not to treat him? He would have missed his critical window for treatment”

    “Daddy, I’m sorry. But it turned out well, and everyone’s happy” Selina said with a naive smile.


    Derrick was at a loss for words, frustrations bubbling within him. He was the only one who wasn’t


    happy


    Holding back his rage, he stormed upstairs. Selina nced at her phone as a new message pinged.
