Chapter 556 Decided To Stay By His Side
Zayden suddenly hugged her. “Don't leave me, Gwen, please?”
He seemed a little emotional at that moment. Stunned, Gwendolyn patted him on the back lightly.
“I won't leave you.”
As she spoke, she thought of Patrick.
She wanted to be with him badly, but she did not have the heart to leave Zayden who was in such a
condition.
Gwendolyn felt sad at that thought, and the light in her eyes disappeared.
Not triggering him meant that she could not refuse to be engaged or married to him.
She took a deep breath. So now I can't trigger Grandpa and Zayden. Why did God make things so
difficult for me?
Just then, Angeline walked in and cleared her throat out of awkwardness.
Gwendolyn quickly backed away, still with a dull look in her eyes.
Angeline walked up to Zayden, held his hand, and gently stroke it.

Seeing Gwendolyn's despondent look, Zayden knew that Bridger must have told her something harsh,
so he decided to give them a shot in the arm.
“He only said he won't come over anymore.”
“Huh?” Angeline was shocked. “Why?
Zayden shook his head. “No idea.”
Gwendolyn, who was listening to their conversation, actually knew the reason Bridger would not come
over anymore. It was because Bridger could not cure Zayden, whose condition was too serious.
Angeline looked at Gwendolyn. “You were at the door the entire time, weren't you? What exactly did the
doctor say?”
How can he leave after saying such things so suddenly? Isn't he the best psychologist in Avenport?
Seems like he's not that great after all.
Gwendolyn gave her a smile. “The doctor said Zayden is in a good condition and asked us not to worry.
His eyes will be fine after a period of treatment.”
She could not bring herself to tell Angeline the truth. As a friend, she even felt upset upon hearing
those words, let alone Angeline, who loved her son so much.
It would definitely break Angeline's heart.
Gwendolyn was worried that Angeline could not take it, so she did not want to tell her the truth.
She would help her take good care of Zayden from now on and make sure he got better.
Angeline nodded. “That's good.”
Gwendolyn was not in a good mood the whole day. Noticing how dispirited she was, Angeline asked
later in the day, “Gwen, did you not sleep well last night?”
She was making a flower arrangement with Angeline, but her hands were pricked several times by the
thorns on the stems. She had been spending most of the time stopping the bleeding.
She sucked the blood from her fingertips and nodded.
“I couldn't sleep last night, so I'm a little tired today.”
Angeline glanced upstairs. Zay is in the study, while Suzanne is reading to him, so we don't really need
Gwen to be here now.

Well, I'm here too. I can accompany Zay if he needs company.
Gwendolyn was surprised and flattered. “Oh, can I do that?”
Seeing how cautious she was being, Angeline replied in a much softer voice, “Gwen, I didn't know you
that well before, but after spending more time with you, I know that you're a very kind person. Since
Zay is determined to be with you, and you don't mind his condition, I'll treat you as part of our family.
You don't need to be so cautious from now on. Just go back to rest if you're tired.”
Gwendolyn flashed her a smile. “Thank you, Mrs. Surrington.”
Angeline's expression changed a little. “Don't be so formal. Just call me Angeline.”
Gwendolyn was not used to Angeline being so enthusiastic all of a sudden.
“I'll take my leave now, Angeline.”
She still sounded awkward with the new form of address, but Angeline did not mind.
“All right. The driver is outside. He'll send you home.”
Gwendolyn then left with the car. The driver knew that she would most likely become Zayden's wife, so
he was very respectful to her.
