Gwendolyn looked at Lucas coldly. However, he couldn't care less, as he proceeded to chug down
some wine on his own.
She could tell that Lucas had probably just returned from a military trip. He had become tanner, and
there were wounds on his face.
“Luce, how can you be so foolish? You can't let him take advantage of you like that.”
Lucy glanced at Lucas and quickly dragged Gwendolyn out of the room.
“Don't make a fuss, Gwen. I was the one who went looking for him. He's my only hope. So, if he wants
to sleep with me, I'll let him do so. Once he has his fill, he will give Melanie his bone marrow.”
There was a layer of disappointment in Lucy's eyes. She was basically helpless.
Melanie's life was of paramount importance. Her own feelings did not matter.
She had to do so even though she felt nothing for Lucas. When Lucas was mean, he was mean to the
core.
She thought of that time when he had been especially nasty, and taught her a variety of shameless
acts.

Gwendolyn brought Lucy into her embrace. “I know how you feel, Luce. Are you sure that brat will give
his bone marrow to Melanie? He has run away once, hasn't he?”
Lucy let out a long sigh. “I won't let him run away ever again. I can deal with this myself, Gwen. Don't
worry about me, all right?”
Gwendolyn stared at Lucy's helpless figure. She longed to help her. If only my bone marrow was a
match for Melanie.
However, that wasn't the case, and that had allowed Lucas to behave like a tyrant.
Gwendolyn gritted her teeth and said, “You have to learn how to protect yourself, Luce. If you need any
help, look for me. I have a bit of money now. If you need money, give me a call.”
Lucy nodded. “Of course. Aren't you on a date with Mr. Lowen? Hurry up, go back to him.”
Lucy thought of the man inside the room again. If he got into a bad mood again, he would go missing
once more. By then, she would not know where to find him.
So, she ought to get back to his side. She had to make him happy so that there was hope for Melanie.
Gwendolyn looked on as Lucy returned to the room in a hurry. Consumed by fury, she kicked the wall.
The action inflicted so much pain onto herself that she bent over. Patrick came to help her up. Her face
scrunched up in pain.
“Fool,” Patrick scoffed.
Then, he carried her to their private room.
Gwendolyn rested her head on his chest. She was lucky to have met Patrick. Both Lucas and Patrick
were rich young men, but she could not fathom why the two were so different.
She suddenly said, “Patrick, can you talk some sense into Lucas? Melanie is a really sweet girl. If she
dies, Lucy won't have a reason to continue living.”
Mothers cared deeply about their children. If Lucy lost her child, she might truly lose the will to continue
living.
Patrick knew what she was thinking. He nodded, but did not elaborate.
He heard about the arrangement between Lucas and Lucy. It was their private matter, so they should
deal with it themselves.

Gwendolyn grabbed his hand.
“There's no need. It doesn't hurt now.”
He's really attentive and caring!
Patrick sat next to her and brought her some food.
“Hurry up and dig in. After this, we still have other things to do.”
Gwendolyn's face reddened. Her thoughts went wild as she assumed that he was referring to activities
in bed.
With a single glance, Patrick could tell where she had wondered off. As he ate his food elegantly, he
added, “We're not doing anything in bed. I'm talking about something else.”
Gwendolyn froze. Then, she turned to glare at him.
“Patrick, you're a big meanie! I was not thinking about that.”
Patrick leaned closer to her and whispered, “Then, why is your face so red? Don't you want to join me
in mind? I certainly want to.”
Gwendolyn's cheeks reddened even more. She gave him a shove.
“Can you stop talking?”
