Chapter 33


    Gwendolyn gritted her teeth and calmed herself down. Then she began to clean up Patrick''s room.


    She put the books on the desk back onto the bookshelf and the magazines on the floor back into the


    magazine rack.


    Next, she made his bed and hung all the cleanedundry in the walk-in closet.


    Later on, the room became spotless. Seeing the minimalist room be clean and tidy, she thought


    the room looked even colder now than before.


    After having a cry, she felt her entire body was more rxed now. There''s indeed no use being too


    tense. Sometimes, it''s good to cry it out.


    Then, Gwendolyn went downstairs. She thought he was in the living room, but he was not there.


    Also, he had only taken a few sips of the hangover remedy. Seeing that, she brought the bowl into the


    kitchen, washed it, and put it back in the cupboard.


    She was a principled woman. Since she had signed the IOU, then she would definitely pay back her


    debt.


    Before leaving, she sent him a message: Mr. Lowen, I''ve tidied up the room. I''lle over at six o''clock


    tomorrow night to make dinner.


    Meanwhile, Patrick was smoking a cigarette on the rooftop while enjoying the cool breeze.


    He watched her get into the silver Fiat and drive away slowly from the yard, Only after the gate closed


    did he regain his senses and raised a hand to his lips.


    He could still feel the sweet taste of her in his mouth. Moreover, he seemed to be addicted to her


    sweetness now.


    His eyes darkened slightly, and his expression became even colder after he took a long drag of the


    cigarette and exhaled the smoke.


    The next day was a Saturday, so the three children did not have to go to school.


    Thus, Gwendolyn took them to the hospital with her. Camille brought a lunchbox with her, as she had


    prepared some nutritious food for Lucy and Mnie.


    When they arrived at the hospital, Gwendolyn was carrying fruits and milk while the three children were


    all holding small gifts they wanted to give to Mnie.

    Juliette asked, “When is Mnieing back to ss? She used to be my best friend!”


    Mnie used to be in the same kindergarten with them and was even in the same ss as Juliette


    when they were in the lower grades. They were so close to each other that even though they went to


    school together every day, they still had to talk on the phone after school.


    Justin responded, “Mnie''s sick. So, she''lle back to school when she''s recovered.”


    Julian nodded slightly. “You can give her the dollter. She''ll feel as if you''re apanying her in the


    hospital.”


    Juliette''s big eyes flickered. Even though she knew Mnie was sick, she did not understand why


    Mnie had to stay in the hospital for so long.


    Juliette had fallen ill before. However, she had only stayed in the hospital for a few days at most, while


    Mnie seemed to have been in the hospital for two years.


    When they arrived at the ward, Mnie smiled happily when saw the three children.


    Gwendolyn put the fruits and milk on the table as Lucy got up and took the lunchbox from Camille.


    “Ms. Ziegler, thank you for making us delicious food every time youe.”


    Camille smiled upon hearing those words. “Don''t mention it. You and Gwen are good friends, after all.


    How is Mnie?”


    Hearing Camille''s words, Lucy sighed as she looked at Mnie, who was happy to be surrounded by


    the three children.


    “Still waiting for the bone marrow. The surgery can be done as soon as there is a match.”


    Camille nodded. “I''ll go feed Mnie some soup. She''s just too thin, and this soup is very nourishing.”


    With that, Camille joined the three children by Mnie''s side and fed Mnie the soup.


    Then, Gwendolyn and Lucy went to the rest area with the lunchbox. Lucy started to eat while


    Gwendolyn, who was sitting opposite her, held a cup of hot water in her hand.


    Looking at the parents in the hospital, Gwendolyn shook her head helplessly. The greatest blessing in


    life is that one''s whole family is healthy. Every time Ie here and see these scenes, I just feel so


    upset. I wish nobody ever gets sick in this world.


    Suddenly, the incident that happenedst night shed through her mind. She had almost slept with


    Patrick yesterday. He was so tall and muscr that she could neither push nor resist him.


    With such long limbs, the moment he pressed down on her, she could only let him get his way.


    Hence, she asked Lucy, “Luce, I want to buy some self-defense tools. Do you know which ones are the


    most useful?”
