Perfect CEO

Chapter 161

Patrick frowned and said, “Call the doctor! Old Mr. Lowen has just passed out.”

He felt his heart sink, as Hector could not even bear to hear that conversation earlier. It seemed like Hector might breathe his last if Patrick were to say that he would marry Gwendolyn instead of Felicia.

While driving home, Gwendolyn felt a surge of mixed feelings.

To her surprise, she felt an indescribable feeling about what had happened. As soon as she thought of Patrick, she shook her head, seemingly trying to clear her mind.

There's no way I'll become someone like Candace. Even though I hate Felicia, I'll never get into someone else's relationship. Never!

When Juliette spotted the oncology hospital, she exclaimed, “Gwen, I haven't seen Melanie in a while. Can we visit them?”

Only then did Gwendolyn realize she had just passed by the hospital. How did I end up here? I shouldn't be overthinking when I'm driving.

After coming back to her senses, Gwendolyn replied, “Sure. Let's go and visit Melanie.”

She then took the route that led back to the hospital and drove into the underground parking lot. Moments later, they got out of the car and walked toward the elevator.

When they arrived at Melanie's ward in the inpatient building, Melanie was still awake.

As soon as Melanie saw the three children, she sat up happily. “Juliette, are you guys here to see me? I miss you all so much!”

The children were surrounding Melanie while chatting happily with her. Melanie seemed to be over the moon in their presence.

Gwendolyn noticed that Lucy was there too. Lucy hurriedly stood up and walked toward the former.

“Luce, aren't you going to work tonight?”

Wearing a grin, Lucy replied, “I've taken a day off because I'm not feeling well.”

Upon hearing that, Gwendolyn was a little anxious. “Where do you feel sick?”

Lucy pulled Gwendolyn over to sit down before dragging down her collar slightly to show Gwendolyn.

“Right here. I feel uncomfortable whenever I put on my clothes, so I guess I need to rest for a day.”

Gwendolyn widened her eyes in surprise. “Oh, is your allergy acting up too?”

She immediately rummaged through her bag to look for the ointment Patrick had taken from the doctor. That ointment was pretty effective. It would help her to recover within a few days.

“Luce, this ointment is quite useful. I had red patches like yours all over my body some time ago. It felt painful when I put on clothes. So, I applied this ointment and felt a lot better.”

As though Gwendolyn's word had rung a bell, Lucy was stunned for a brief moment before she asked, “Did you experience the same symptoms as I do too?”

Immediately after saying that, she chuckled as she touched Gwendolyn's face.

“Who was the culprit who caused that? Was it Patrick?”

Seemingly not taking the hint, Gwendolyn looked puzzled. “How did you know? I went for a drink with him, and my alcohol allergy acted up. To be frank, it wasn't his fault.”

Lucy burst out laughing. “So, you're allergic to alcohol.”

“That's right! Aren't you... Hang on. You can't be allergic to alcohol, right?”
