The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 678

The men from the Harris family were all there that day, and the atmosphere was so lively that it seemed like a little party.

Everyone took turns carrying Zendaya around. They all couldn’t get enough of her.

Zendaya was not afraid of the crowd. She even smiled gleefully and entertained the guests.

Valentino, who was in his wheelchair some distance away, noticed the concerned look on Gwendolyn’s and Cedrick’s faces.

Logan slowly pushed Valentino to the couple, and Valentino asked in a deep voice, “Ced, why is Zendy here alone? Where’s Benny?”

Gwendolyn’s expression froze.

Back when Cedrick contracted the S404 RNA virus, everyone in the Jenson family had kept it a secret from Valentino because they didn’t want to worry him.

Valentino didn’t know the virus was why Cedrick had been vomiting blood after returning from Fairlake.

Nico knew everything that had happened. He replaced his smile with a solemn look and peeked at Cedrick’s expression from the corner of his eye.

Although the men from the Harris family knew about the virus, they didn’t know it could be transmitted to the children. When they heard Valentino’s question, they turned to look at Cedrick and Gwendolyn in unison.

With a grim look on his face, Cedrick answered, “Benny is down with a cold and is now on an IV drip in the hospital. That’s why he isn’t here.”

Valentino grew extremely concerned. “It’s also his birthday today, no? Why did you leave him alone at the hospital? Which hospital is he in? I’ll get someone to fetch him. After all, there’s a medical team in Harrick Villa. Benny can also receive an IV drip at home. Why does he need to stay at the hospital?”

Gwendolyn lowered her gaze and pursed her lips, looking rather uneasy.

Unlike her, Cedrick was as cool as a cucumber. “Charles is keeping Benny company at the hospital. He’s Benny’s godfather. He’ll take good care of Benny.”

Gwendolyn nodded and chimed in, “Cedrick and I wanted to stay at the hospital at first. However, Zendy was hungry, so we brought her back to feed her some milk.”
