Chapter 815
Guinevere brandished the knife in her hands.
Everyone around her retreated to a safe distance, daring not to approach the unhinged woman.
There was a moment when she appeared to be in a daze. Chris seized the chance, lurched forward, and managed
to grab the knife from her hands. He hugged her tight in his arms and yelled, “Doctor, quick, give her another
sedative!”
Mrs. Cohen‘s heart was in her throat when Chris did that, but she finally heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the
situation finally under control.
Due to concern for Guinevere‘s wellbeing, the doctor had initially administered a weak dose of the sedative, not
expecting Guinevere to come around so quickly.
This time, he pumped the entire dose into her without any further thought.
Guinevere‘s eyes glazed over as she looked sorrowfully at the man before her.
Chris‘ heart ached as he looked at the condition the girl was in...
He turned to Mrs. Cohen. “Given her current condition, she might need to be hospitalized...”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMrs. Cohen wiped away the tears on her face. “She was clearly doing so well, but she‘s suddenly become like this …
my poor daughter!” Chris sighed. “It‘s all my fault for not disciplining my son. No matter how ridiculous Weston‘s
actions might seem, don‘t worry. We certainly won‘t leave Gwen in the lurch! She‘s Zack‘s biological mother, after
all.”
After all the pain and suffering the Cohen‘s were put through, Mrs. Cohen naturally bore a grudge against the Ford
family.
However, the long night made her so fatigued and overwhelmed that she didn‘t have the energy to pursue things
further.
She wiped her tears away at Chris‘ words. “I feel better after hearing what you said. As parents, the only thing we
want is for our children to be happy.” Guinevere finally calmed down after being administered a full dose of
sedative.
She lay on the bed in the guest room, her face deathly pale. Tears covered her face that used to shine and dazzle
before the world.
Pain pierced through Chris‘ heart.
“I will discuss things with old Mr. Ford and make things
right for her.”
Given Guinevere‘s current condition, she was unfit to stay in Ford Mansion. Everything associated with Weston could
possibly trigger her condition again.
It was impossible to keep things from Mr. Cohen now that things had regressed to such a state.
Chris felt that Mrs. Cohen couldn‘t possibly handle everything by herself, and he decided to bring Guinevere back to
the Cohens alongside Mrs. Cohen.
Thus, he remained beside them throughout the episode, ensuring that everything had been taken care of before he
finally returned to the Ford Mansion completely wiped of energy.
It was very late at night.
Wendy had long fallen asleep.
Being the deep sleeper she was, hardly anything was allowed to disrupt the slumber she needed to maintain her
physical appearance.
Chris used to think that her vanity wasn‘t a big deal. Beauty was, after all, something that every woman pursued.
However, her lack of concern over something so major that happened in the house, and her act of bringing Zack
away to hide, ticked Chris off.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe felt that she had been rather selfish.
Disgust simmered in his heart as he returned to the room.
When he opened the door, he saw Wendy still awake, dressed in her sleeping gown and seated before her dressing
table, surveying her own face in the mirror.
This surprised him a bit, but he kept his face expressionless as he asked, “Not sleeping yet?”
“How can I, with that ruckus downstairs?”
Wendy looked at him through the mirror.
The look on Chris‘ face softened. “Things got rather messy today. I‘m not sure what will happen from here on
The two began a calm chat as if the cold war they were waging against each other had never happened.
Wendy had announced to everyone that Ella was her god daughter at Zack‘s birthday bash.
The Cohen‘s had also broken off their engagement with the Ford‘s.
They both just had a huge fight, too.
Chris just couldn‘t understand why Wendy wanted to help Ella humiliate Guinevere.
Wendy, on the other hand, felt like he was way too concerned for Guinevere.
They split up acrimoniously, with Chris slamming the door and leaving the house. He didn‘t come home for a long
while. He was now finally back, but it was mainly for the sake of Guinevere.
