Perfect CEO

Gwendolyn glanced at the cold and distant man. It's been three days since we met, and he seems to have lost some weight. Has he not been eating properly?

When Kevin turned in the direction where Gwendolyn was looking, he smiled and teased, “Pat, Gwen is looking at you! Why are you ignoring her?”

Hearing that, Gwendolyn instantly averted her gaze and stopped looking at Patrick.

Lucy also noticed the strife between the two. She asked softly, “Did you guys have a fight?”

Gwendolyn remained silent with a cold expression on her face. All the entertainment news was announcing my engagement to Zayden. Whoever encounters something like that will not be able to accept that. Nevertheless, all the news have been taken down today. Someone must have pulled the strings to get them removed.

Lucy was terribly sharp-witted. She took Gwendolyn's hand and said, “Sit and stay for a while. I have to accompany the two.”

Gwendolyn didn't want to stay in the reception room alone as that would make her look lonely. Moreover, it would seem a bit pretentious. More so than that, she didn't want to sit on the couch as it would be too close to Patrick.

Hence, she pointed at the hospital bed and said, “I'll accompany Melanie to play for a while.”

Lucy nodded. “Great. This comes handy.”

In truth, Lucy wanted to keep Melanie company too because the latter would be undergoing major surgery that day. However, she needed to placate Lucas.

Otherwise, Melanie would be at the receiving end if he ran away again.

Throughout this period of time, Lucy treated him like a king and agreed to all his request.

When Gwendolyn sat by the bed, Melanie turned and smiled at her. The pointed chin on Melanie's gaunt face made her look as if she was nothing but skin and bones.

When Melanie smiled, her big eyes curved into the shape of a crescent moon. “Aunt Gwendolyn!”

Gwendolyn's heart ached for Melanie when she saw the state the young girl was in. Melanie is not in good spirits. And yet, she still forces herself to smile when she sees me. It must be very hard for her.

Gwendolyn then asked, “Melanie, what are you watching?”

Melanie pointed to the television on the opposite wall. “It's Rainbow Ruby. Juliette likes it too!”

Gwendolyn blinked while she took a closer look at the television. She realized she seemed to have not watched television with Juliette and the children for a long time. Oh, boy. When was the last time I watch TV with my kids?

“You will be going into the operating room later. Don't be afraid. Your mom and I are going to wait for you at the entrance. You'll see us once you come out,” consoled Gwendolyn.

Lucy must have spoken to Melanie last night. This little girl is extremely mature for her age. She doesn't show it even if she is afraid.

Melanie nodded in response as she sneaked a peek at Lucy. The latter was in the arms of Zayden while talking to him. Seeing that, a hint of a smile flashed across Melanie's eyes.

She moved next to Gwendolyn and whispered in the latter's ear, “Aunt Gwendolyn, if I die, please help me take care of Mom. Let Mom marry Mr. Gomez. He is a nice person.”
