Chapter 399
Gwendolyn was already feeling a little awkward. Since Rosalie had called her, she could only enter the ward.
“Ms. Chavez, Old Mrs. Chavez,” she politely greeted them.
Linda was slightly surprised to see her.
“Ms. Ashton, why are you here?”
Just as Angeline was about to say she was the caregiver they hired, Rosalie forestalled her and answered Linda's question.
“Gwen and Zay are good friends, Grandma. They're extremely close, so she came to care for him round the clock since he fell ill.”
When Linda heard Rosalie's words, her expression changed.
She and Alice were best friends. Even after so many years, they still had a close relationship.
Regarding Patrick as her own grandchild, she also paid close attention to the woman he was going to marry.
Needless to say, she was not expecting to see Gwendolyn there, let alone find out that the latter was taking care of Zayden round the clock.
Zayden lost his vision, so the person taking care of him had to help him do many things. For instance, they would have to help him go to the bathroom and wipe his body.
Those things should be his girlfriend's responsibility, yet Gwendolyn was doing them.
In an instant, Linda figured out what was going on. Nowadays, all girls are like this. She's after another man when she already has Patrick. As expected, Gwendolyn is not a simple woman as she appears to be on the surface! Although she's beautiful, and few in the world are as beautiful as she is, it's useless. One should marry a competent and virtuous wife, especially in prominent families like ours. It's essential to get a partner of equal status.
In the past, she used to not care about it and thought it was fine as long as the two people liked each other.
Upon seeing Gwendolyn's behavior, she suddenly felt it was better to find a person of equal status as she would know them well. Also, they would be well-educated.
Rosalie grew up by Linda's side, so she knew her the best.
Today's matter would lead Grandma to realize there's a problem with Gwendolyn. Since Grandma is very fond of Pat, she would definitely want him to marry a good person.
The young woman knew she got her chance.
Standing at the side, Gwendolyn did not explain herself since Rosalie did not say anything wrong. She was indeed good friends with Zayden.
Angeline glanced at Rosalie. I've heard that this young woman likes Patrick and is adamant about marrying into the Lowen family. It seems that it's true. However, she's much brighter than Gwendolyn. With just a few sentences, she managed to cause Old Mrs. Chavez's expression to change. The elderly's attitude toward Gwendolyn changed as well.
At that thought, she shook her head. I'm not satisfied with Gwendolyn, too, but there's nothing I can do currently. Well, this is good as well. With Rosalie's intervention, Gwendolyn can then forget about Patrick and focus on being by Zay's side.
Everyone inside the ward was engrossed in their own thoughts except Gwendolyn.
She stood at the side, paying no attention to anyone else.
Angeline and Linda were chatting. After a while, the former called Gwendolyn.
“Gwendolyn, go and wash some fruits for the visitors.” NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
Gwendolyn replied, “Okay!”
She turned around to leave, but Zayden grabbed her hand.
“There's no need for you to do this. Take a break. We have the help here.”
He was displeased with how his mother ordered his beloved woman around, especially when outsiders were present.
Gwendolyn wanted to withdraw her hand, but his grip was strong.
“Just sit on the side of my bed and chat with me.”
Linda glanced at Gwendolyn's wrist, which was grabbed tightly by Zayden. It was apparent that they had a close relationship with each other.
Her expression changed for a second, but she soon composed herself and continued the conversation with Angeline.
Rosalie also smiled and stood up.
“Wow! Zay, you and Gwen are really close!” she commented.
Gwendolyn retracted her hand. “Ms. Chavez, it's not what you think. We're just friends.”
When Linda saw how Gwendolyn hastened to explain herself, she shook her head. She really is a greedy one. Although she has Pat, who's such a good boyfriend, she's still unsatisfied. Now, she's even afraid that we would expose her.
