Perfect CEO

Since Gwendolyn remembered that Patrick's birthday was in February, she wanted to complete knitting his sweater before his birthday.

However, Patrick remained silent upon hearing Gwendolyn's question. “I don't celebrate my birthday.”

Gwendolyn was dumbfounded. He doesn't celebrate his birthday? Shouldn't someone like him have a large-scale birthday celebration? Regardless, when I mentioned his birthday, he seemed unhappy and sounded depressed.

“I'll finish knitting the sweater for you before the new year.”

Gwendolyn made a promise to Patrick, and he hummed in response.

As Gwendolyn saw Lucy had done changing, she said abruptly, “I'll hang up now. Remember to have your meal when you get home.”

After ending the call, she walked toward Lucy.

“Luce, if you're not feeling well, I can help you look for the doctor at the hospital.” Since she frequently went to the hospital over the past two years, she became familiar with the doctors.

Lucy's complexion was pallid, and her lips turned pale. “I'm fine. I want to keep Melanie company.”

Gwendolyn was still worried about Lucy, so she sent Lucy to the hospital. In the hospital, two more people were taking care of Melanie, who claimed to be hired by Lucas especially to look after Melanie.

Why didn't Lucy say anything after listening to what they said? Since Lucas sent someone to help, I guess he's trying to compensate Lucy as it could lessen the burdens on Lucy.

While one of the helpers was feeding Melanie, Melanie smiled when she spotted Gwendolyn. “Ms. Gwen, where are Juliette, Julian, and Justin? Aren't they around? I miss them so much.”

Sitting beside the bed, Gwendolyn took the bowl from the helper and started feeding Melanie. “I've been busy lately, so I didn't bring them over. I'll take them here soon.”

In fact, that day was the last day of school for the triplets as they would be on school break starting that week. However, Gwendolyn did not want to bring up the matters about school in front of Melanie.

Melanie must be longing to attend her school like normal children after stopping for two years. Hence, I'm worried she'll be sad if I tell her that the kids aren't here because they need to go to school. It's heartbreaking to see Melanie being so weak, and she even seems to have lost a significant amount of weight.

“Ms. Gwen, Mommy said I'm going to have my surgery next week. After that, I'll be the same as the other kids. Then, I can attend school with Juliette, Julian, and Justin.” Melanie was on cloud nine and had a twinkle in her eyes as she spoke.

Tears were welling in Gwendolyn's eyes as she looked at Melanie. How I wish Lucas could witness this. Perhaps he wouldn't have run away then.

Three days later, after Gwendolyn accompanied Patrick to patrol around and returned to the office, they saw Rosalie waiting at the couch area while waving at them. “Gwen, I'm here to have lunch with you.”

Gwendolyn glanced at Patrick next to her and forced a smile. “Okay.”

As Patrick took off his coat, Gwendolyn took it from him before she hung it on the rack.

Meanwhile, Rosalie had already sat down opposite Patrick. She propped up her chin and looked at the man, who had his head lowered to busy with his work. “Pat, since I've invited Gwen to have a meal together, you should come with us!”
