The Ex and Her Riches

Noticing the change in the woman’s expression, he comforted her in a gentle tone. “Don’t worry, Gwen. Benny and Zendy are really well-behaved. Benny is done with his injection, and he didn’t cry at all. Zendy is a little less brave, but she’s not crying much with me holding her.”

Gwendolyn could feel her heart breaking when she saw Zendaya’s pitiful expression. She held back her tears and said, “Thank you, Charles.”

“No worries,” Charles replied, smiling from ear to ear.

There was a twinkle in his eyes that would only appear when he saw Gwendolyn.

Cedrick, who was quietly watching their interaction, felt his heart clench.

He started packing his suitcase while trying to suppress the bitter sensation in his heart.

However, Gwendolyn was hardly paying any attention to Charles as she was solely focused on her babies.

Through the video call, she could see that the doctor had already prepared the injection tools. He was coaxing Zendaya while trying to keep the needle out of her sight.

However, that was not enough to fool the smart little girl. She seemed to have guessed that she was getting an injection, as she crinkled her nose and glared at the doctor cautiously.

Putting on a strong front, Gwendolyn forced a smile and said, “Zendy, you’re such a good girl. Mommy and Daddy will be back tomorrow. The injection won’t hurt at all. The doctor will be very gentle.”

“Zendy, be good. Mommy is watching you. I will also be by your side.” Charles pointed at Gwendolyn on the screen.

As if she could feel Gwendolyn’s presence, Zendaya blinked a few times while trying to grab the phone with her chubby hands.

Seeing that the girl was distracted, the doctor quickly injected the medicine into her arm.

Shortly after, Zendaya started feeling the pain, and her small face scrunched up as tears started streaming down.

However, instead of crying out loud, she was whimpering.
