Chapter 40


    Gwendolyn epted the money, which amounted to five hundred. Her eyes lit up when she saw the


    amount. Mr. Lowen is so generous. I''ll only need two hundred to prepare these dishes. Does this mean


    I can keep the remaining three hundred?


    As she pondered about that, she had already decided which market she was going to visitter.


    Gwendolyn decided to send the three children home first before she headed out to the nearby market


    to buy the ingredients.


    Just as she got behind the wheel, her phone rang.


    She was just using her phone for navigation when she saw the message that she had juste in.


    Patrick: Remember to send me the receipts. I''ll check the amount spent on the ingredients.


    Gwendolyn was so infuriated that she threw her phone down. She wanted to curse, but she held back


    the urge to do so because her kids were still inside the car.


    Hence, she could only curse inwardly as she drove.


    Patrick Lowen, you''re such a cheapskate! You''re a b*stard! A freaking j*rk!


    Those were the only words she could think of. Since she had never quarreled with anyone before, she


    was at a loss for words.


    Since Juliette did not take a nap that day and had cried her heart out in the hospital earlier, she


    immediately fell asleep once she got into the car.


    In the passenger''s seat, Camille kept sighing. “Mnie is so pitiful. Her mother is suffering as well.”


    Justin put Juliette''s head on hisp before he took off his jacket and wrapped it around thetter''s


    body. Clearly, he was an extremely thoughtful child.


    Julian felt sorry for Mnie as well. Thus, he suggested, “Mommy, if we have money, let''s lend some to


    Ms. Baker!”


    He and Justin had just earned five hundred thousand, and the money was just enough to pay for the


    treatment fee. Since Gwendolyn was not willing to spend it on anything else, Julian figured that they


    might as well use it to save Mnie''s life.


    Gwendolyn was stunned when she heard that, but she quickly snapped out of her daze, as she knew


    that she had to focus while driving.


    “All right. I''ll help Lucy. Don''t worry about this and just focus on your studies.”


    Julian assumed that his mother was going to follow his suggestion. He then cast a meaningful nce


    at Julian.


    Mommy''s finally been enlightened. Before this, she wouldn''t even touch the money. All she does is act


    tough. Stupid Mommy really makes us worry a lot about her.


    Gwendolyn sent the three kids to Snowy Lane before she drove toward the farmer''s market. She had


    decided to talk to Patrick about the gas fees that night.


    If he would not reimburse her, she would not drive to the mansion anymore. She would take a taxi there


    so that he would pay the fare.


    After spending half an hour in the market, she finally bought everything she needed. In fact, she was


    not very good at cooking. However, she had no choice but to embarrass herself because she was


    doing it to pay her debts.


    I won''t be the one eating the disgusting food anyway. She smirked as she put two bags of groceries


    into her Fiat before she drove toward Star Mansion.


    When Gwendolyn was about several hundred meters away from Star Mansion, the tire of her car


    suddenly blew out. She then got out of her car and saw that the tire waspletely t.

    She kicked it forcefully and cursed, “Why can''t you behave yourself for another several hundred more


    meters?”


    At that moment, her car was blocking a row of cars on the road. A traffic police officer soon came to tell


    her to move her car to the rightne.


    Initially, Gwendolyn thought of driving into the area of the mansion to change her tire. However, the tire


    waspletely t, so she could not do that, after all.


    The traffic police asked, “Miss, do you need me to call the tow truck for you?”


    He was worried that the woman could not handle the matter by herself.


    Thinking about the towing fee, Gwendolyn shook her head. “No. I''m fine.”


    The traffic police then gave her a standard salute before he went behind her car to manage the traffic.


    Ever since Gwendolyn had bought this trashy car, she had mastered countless skills in fixing cars.


    Hence, she could easily change the car tire by herself.


    She took out the jack and spare tire from the trunk before she started changing the tire by the roadside.


    After the car was lifted with the jack, she unscrewed the screws from the rim with the wrench.
