Gwendolyn quickly filled her suitcase, forgoing any makeup and instead opting for a tracksuit and a
cap. She rushed downstairs, eager to be on her way.
Upon spotting her, Camille came over with a bottle of milk and a bun.
“Gwen, I know you have a flight to catch. Here, you can eat this on the way to the airport.”
Knowing Camille made the bun herself, Gwendolyn took it from her.
“Camille, please take care of the children when I'm not around.”
Camille chuckled. “Of course. Don't you worry.”

for her. Knowing it would be a long way from her house to the guardhouse, she took off at a full sprint,
determined to make it there as quickly as possible.
After hopping into the car, she said hastily, “Please drive faster, sir.”
The driver nodded. “Okay.”
Gwendolyn settled into her seat and started munching on the bun as she was famished.

disguise since he was now free from any lingering headache.
He felt really awful last night.
Patrick called Gwendolyn but was greeted by the automated intercept message. “Sorry. The number
you have dialed is currently unavailable.”
Patrick felt a sense of disappointment wash over him as his expression grew dark.
He recalled picking up Gwendolyn last night and embracing her in his arms before he fell asleep.
Unfortunately, his mind was blank after that.
Patrick headed to the bathroom to wash up. He had just stepped out when his phone rang. He grabbed
his phone off the bed, where he had absentmindedly tossed it earlier, and answered the call.
“Grandma.”
“Pat, your grandpa has recovered completely. Why don't you come and spend some time with him
today?”
Patrick narrowed his eyes. “Grandma, I'm pretty busy lately. I'll come to visit you sometime later.”
Alice seemed crestfallen. “Pat, your grandpa's leg has recovered, and he can talk well now. I'm happy
about his recovery. I hope you are able to come home today so that I can share my joy with you in
person.”
Patrick was their only grandson, so Alice could only share such happy moments with him.
Patrick pondered over it. “Okay, then,” he agreed.

After the call ended, Alice turned to look at Hector, who was practicing calligraphy on his desk.
“Hector, Pat is coming back. Let's head out for a walk today!”
When Hector was in a coma, they never had the opportunity to go out and enjoy some fun activities
together.
Now that Hector was better, their family was whole again.
Glancing at her, Hector suggested, “Let's ask Fel to join us. She's part of our family, too.”
Hearing that, Alice let out a long sigh. He's still thinking about Felicia, huh? Why can't he forget about
her?
She couldn't help but recall Gwendolyn and the children.
Oh, I truly wish that the kids belonged to Pat. They share such a striking resemblance to him. If they
were his, Hector would be so delighted that he'd ask Pat to marry Gwen right away. I must admit I'm
partial to Gwen over Felicia.
After Hector was done, the housekeeper gave him a warm towel for him to wipe his face and hands.
Hector made his way over to where Alice was sitting. After settling down in the chair beside her, he got
himself a cup of coffee and took a sip of it.
“Did you make the call? We'll go for a stroll at the park today.”
Alice replied icily, “Yes, I called him. He said he'll come over right now.”
Only Hector would choose a destination as outdated as a park.
