Gwendolyn shook her head. “He only likes to tease me.”
She could not help but get angry at the thought of Patrick. There was not one day where she went
without his constant teasing.
She also understood that he had probably asked her to be his secretary just to tease her as a form of
entertainment in his otherwise boring life.
Lucy noticed her look of annoyance and thought that Gwendolyn was jealous. However, Gwendolyn
would rather die than admit that.
Sighing, Lucy walked out of the elevator with Gwendolyn.
“Gwen, sometimes when a man likes someone, he would always tease her. Have you ever thought
about how he treats others compared to how he treats you? Isn't it different?” Lucy commented.
Gwendolyn pondered over her words. It did seem that way as Patrick always treated others coldly.
On the other hand, he would sometimes put on a smile when it came to her. However, he only smiled
when he was mocking her.

Felicia. There is no way Patrick would disobey him, for his grandfather is sick. But once he gets into a
relationship with Felicia, he will automatically become my enemy.”
Upon saying that, she promised herself that no matter if they ended up as enemies or not, she would
do everything she could to earn as much money from them as possible.
Lucy shook her head. “All right. Let's just see how it goes.”
From Lucy's point of view, there was no way Patrick would marry someone he did not love.
Even if Old Mr. Lowen forced him to do so, Patrick would not go down without a fight. Besides, he was
a powerful man in the business world. There was no way he would so easily be coerced into doing
something that he did not want to do.
Lucy did not believe Gwendolyn's words. Instead, she thought that Gwendolyn would end up with
Patrick anyway.
They hailed a taxi and got in. When Gwendolyn heard Lucy telling the driver to head to The Estuary,
she asked, “Are you going to see a friend? Is it convenient for me to tag along?”
At that moment, Gwendolyn was worried that by going out with Lucy, she would be in the way if the
latter were to find a boyfriend.
It would be great for Lucy if she managed to marry a good man.
Furthermore, Melanie would begin her surgery soon. Once she recovered, Lucy could continue to live
her own life happily.
Lucy looked out the window. “It's all right. I'm just going to find the man who is Melanie's match. I want
to ask him to come to the hospital so that Melanie can start the surgery as early as possible,” she said
calmly.
Gwendolyn's eyes lit up. “Didn't you say he was in the army? I didn't know he had already returned!”
It was amazing news. They had been worried that the man would be too busy in the army. Soldiers
never did have a lot of free time.
Lucy smiled. “Yeah, I think God is watching over me,” she replied.

She would do anything for Melanie to recover.
Gwendolyn laid her head on Lucy's shoulder as her eyes glimmered in happiness.
“That's amazing,” she smiled.
After an hour, the car stopped in front of The Estuary. Both of them got down after paying the fare.
Lucy took out her phone to look at the address. “He lives on the eighteenth floor.”
They had no way of knowing if the person was actually at home or not. Nevertheless, they decided to
give it a shot. It would be best if that man was at home. If he was not, they would just wait for his return.
After registering themselves at the counter, they walked into the condominium. Both Lucy and
Gwendolyn took the elevator to the eighteenth floor and found the unit numbered 1802.
They stopped in front of the door and Lucy took a deep breath. “I'm kind of nervous, Gwen. What
should I do if he disagrees?”
Even though this man was their only hope, they would not be able to force him if he did not want to
help.
Regardless, Gwendolyn pressed the doorbell anyway. “Since he's willing to donate his bone marrow to
the bone marrow bank, he should be willing to help us.”
Soon after, someone came to open the door.
It was a girl.
“Who are you looking for?” she asked the duo.
