Wooing My Ex-Wife

Gwendolyn tapped her nose and said, “If you knew that your daddy was going to be jealous, why are you still asking me about this?”

“I was curious!”

Zendaya and Gwendolyn were seated at the back of the car.

Zendaya had deliberately asked that question as their driver for the day was someone Logan had arranged—an outsider.

However, Gwendolyn did not even mull over the question, for she only had one answer for it.

“Of course, it’s because of Zendy. You said that Ms. Mellor saved you in the past and that you like her very much. That’s why I’d like to meet her.”

“Bingo! You’ve got the right answer!” Zendaya beamed sweetly. “Mommy has wisely avoided a disaster that Daddy might have stirred up!”

At that, a laugh escaped Gwendolyn. “He wouldn’t dare to do that.”

“That’s because you’re good at reining him in, Mommy,” Zendaya said, covering her mouth.

“Oh my, you even know what that word means. You’re awesome,” Gwendolyn praised.

Delighted by her mother’s praise, she then merrily continued talking to her mother.

While Gwendolyn sent Zendaya to the kindergarten, Cedrick brought Benedict to the lab for his IV therapy.

The professor prepared the IV bag, as well as other instruments before entering the ward with a medical tray.

As Benedict was constantly undergoing IV therapy, so he was using a peripheral venous catheter.

The peripheral venous catheter had to be changed every three days, or else Benedict would risk infection and extravasation.

That day, Benedict needed to change his catheter.

From afar, Benedict saw the new catheter on the professor’s tray, and he could not help but sigh.

“I’m already five, but I’m still getting IV therapy all the time. The back of my hand is bruising so badly. I’m afraid we’ll have to change a spot for the catheter next time.”

Cedrick’s heart ached as he listened to that, but he continued to quietly peel fruits for Benedict.
