Lucy stiffened for a second before clearing her throat awkwardly.
“Gwen, he and I... I really don't know where I should start.”
Gwendolyn wrapped her arm around Lucy's shoulder and said, “Luce, I'm not going to scold you, but
you have to think things through and not let him bully you.”
Gwendolyn was a more traditional woman. She felt that if a man were to approach a woman with
ulterior motives, refused to promise the woman anything, and lied to her, then he was not a good man.
That was the kind of man Lucas seemed like to Gwendolyn. Gwendolyn was scared that Lucy would be
hurt—would be taken advantage of.
Lucy held her hand and said, “Gwen, Mr. Gomez has agreed to donate his bone marrow to Melanie
next week. There's no better news than this to me. I don't mind doing anything as long as Melanie gets
better.”
Gwendolyn froze at that.
Right. If I was in her spot, what would I do? I'll also give up everything to save my kid. In other words,
Lucas is an evil man. He knows about Lucy's weak spot, and that's why he's taking advantage of her!
Changing the topic, Lucy asked, “Gwen, what brings you here today?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGwendolyn gave her a wry smile. “I lost my job, and I can't stay with Zayden. I didn't want to go home
either, so I thought of coming here to chat with you and visit Melanie.”
Lucy smiled. “Come in, then. I'm sure Melanie's about to wake up.”
Gwendolyn glanced at the ward, still unable to erase what she had seen a moment ago from her mind.
Right as she was hesitating, Lucas, the bronze-skinned man with a crew cut, came out in a pair of
black pants and a gray shirt.
He looked stern, and anyone would be able to tell that he was an army man with just one glance.
Then, he walked over to them, seemingly unfazed by what had happened earlier.
Gwendolyn knew that people like him did not care about what others thought.
He was confident, so naturally, he would not be bothered by such things.
After winking at Lucy, he said, “Lucy, I'll be going now.”
When he turned to Gwendolyn, a look of amusement flickered past his face.
“Gwen, do you not need to work today?”
Gwendolyn could not help but be reminded of what she had witnessed earlier when she looked at him,
and her face turned red again.
She could only tell herself to stop dwelling on it.
“I resigned.”
With that, she grabbed Lucy's hand and gestured for her to head inside so they could continue their
chat.
“Goodbye, Mr. Gomez!”
Gwendolyn squeezed out a smile and waved at Lucas.
The latter frowned. He knew that Gwendolyn was currently Patrick's personal secretary and that Patrick
had deliberately gotten the human resources department to recruit her into the company to keep her
within his line of sight.
She resigned? Did the two fight? he wondered.
Upon stepping into the ward, Gwendolyn was greeted by a colorful sight. The walls were pink, and
there were plenty of cartoon stickers all over them. Even the couch was pink.
Gwendolyn genuinely felt that the VIP ward was a far better place to stay than the normal wards
downstairs.
When Lucy led her further into the ward, Gwendolyn saw Melanie still sleeping on the small bed,

Gwendolyn sighed in relief. “It looks like Melanie's doing better than before.”
Melanie used to be extremely thin and always had fitful nights of sleep. However, it seemed like she
had finally gained some weight.
Lucy then walked over to the bedside to tuck Melanie's blanket.
“There are plenty of professionals nowadays, and they're using the best medicine for her. That's why
she's doing much better.”
Back then, they did not know money and connection would have been such a big help to Melanie.
Lucy then stood up and walked out of the ward with Gwendolyn to continue their conversation in the
living room.
Gwendolyn was definitely not going to sit on that particular couch anymore, so she sat on the armchair
at the side and hugged a pillow instead.
It seems like Mr. Gomez is quite generous. At least he's willing to give her the money and the bone
marrow.
“To be honest, Luce, physical health is very important to Lucas because of the nature of his work. He
can't actually undergo surgery.”
