Gwendolyn gave Rosalie her phone for the latter to input the number while mentally rejoicing that she
had gained another potential customer.
After adding Gwendolyn's phone number, Rosalie saved her contact with a remark that read: Patrick's
Plaything.
Her large eyes wandered as she sketched a plan to get closer to Gwendolyn from then on. If she could
have a good relationship with Gwendolyn, then she would naturally meet Patrick sooner or later.
After Alice and Linda finished chatting, the former called Gwendolyn, “Let's go, Gwen.”
Gwendolyn then bid farewell to Rosalie and Linda before getting inside Alice's car and leaving Corvin
Street.
Inside the car, Alice held Gwendolyn's hand and apologized, “I'm sorry for making you go through all of
that, Gwen. It's not like I can't help you, but I just hope that you can adapt to this kind of gathering since
you will be attending more of them in the future.”
Alice did not like this kind of gathering where the ladies from rich and influential families gathered.
However, she was a part of the Lowen family, so she had an obligation to attend such gatherings.
Gwendolyn smiled and said, “I am fine, Old Mrs. Lowen. Please don't apologize.”
Gwendolyn just felt that being able to watch Candace being isolated and sitting at the farthest table
was undeniably pleasant. Candace definitely did not have a good time that day.
“That's good, then,” said Alice with a nod.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe felt that the younger woman was very caring and sensible, so she was even more pleased with
her.
At her age, Alice was tired after having spent most of the day outside, so she had to go straight home
to rest.
She sent Gwendolyn to Lowen Group, and after the younger woman got out of the car, the driver drove
back to the Lowen residence.
Patrick was not there when Gwendolyn returned to the office.
She put down her handbag, went to the pantry, and poured a glass of water for herself before taking a
few sips.
She found a quiet place to make a call to Lucy.
That morning was pretty hectic for her and she also had to follow Alice out after that, so she did not
have the time to call her friend.
The call was connected soon after. “Hello?”
When Gwendolyn heard Lucy's voice, she thought that the latter had just woken up.
“Did I wake you up, Luce?”
Lucy immediately sobered up when she heard Gwendolyn's voice. She took a glance around the room
and found that the place was quite familiar. After all, she had been there more than ten times.
“Sorry, Gwen. I drank too much last night, so I slept in.”
As a matter of fact, that was not the truth. After being picked up by a certain man last night, she spent
most of the night with him in bed.
That man was energetic, and she could not keep up with him at all. She was so tired that she could not
even get up.
Lucas had sent someone to watch over Melanie at the hospital, so she slept at his place with peace of
mind.
If it was not for Gwendolyn's call, she did not know how long she was going to sleep.
Gwendolyn was relieved after hearing her excuse. “I'm just checking up on you because I'm worried.
Lucas didn't bully you after taking you away last night, did he?”
Lucy got up and put on her pajamas. Her throat was parched, so she went to the kitchen to pour herself
a glass of water.
When she walked into the kitchen, she saw a note on the table.
The note read: Lucy, my team has a mission, so I have to go back. I'll leave this condominium to you.
There was a grant for the condominium underneath the note and a black card.
Lucy's face turned pale, and she mumbled to herself, “He ran away?”
Gwendolyn just wanted to express her worries and also ask Lucy about something. Before she could
do that, however, she heard Lucy mumbling.
“What did you say? Who ran away?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLucy slammed her palm on the table, right on top of the grant. Her eyes were filled with
disappointment.
“It's Lucas. He ran away.”
Lucas had agreed to donate his bone marrow to Melanie on Friday but did not keep his words. They
made an agreement that Lucy would be with him for a month. Whenever he called, she would come
over and sleep with him.
Lucy's only wish was for Melanie to live. She was willing to do anything for that wish to become a
reality.
However, Lucas actually lied to her.
Bastard... You bastard...
Gwendolyn did not understand what was happening. “Luce, are you still waiting for Lucas' bone
marrow because you haven't found another person that matches?”
Lucy was not in the mood to discuss this matter at the moment. Her voice was very hoarse as she said,
“Gwen, I have to hang up. I need to find him. Let's talk about this later.”
She then hung up the call, leaving Gwendolyn staring at her phone dumbfoundedly. Her eyes blinked a
few times, and Gwendolyn finally understood what had happened.
She got up and went back to the office. Patrick was already inside, and it seemed that he had just
returned.
“Mr. Lowen, do you know where Mr. Gomez is right now?”
The note read: Lucy, my team has a mission, so I have to go back. I'll leave this condominium to you.
