Seeing Gwendolyn ignored her completely, Angeline was dissatisfied with her and felt slightly
uncomfortable.
She sat upright and tidied her hair.
The housekeeper had already handed her shawl over, so she took it and wrapped it around herself.
“Zay, look at her. She doesn't have any manners at all. I was talking to her, but she ignored me and
walked off.”
Meanwhile, Zayden sat on his hospital bed expressionlessly. Earlier on, he saw the caller ID on
Gwendolyn's phone. It was Patrick.
Whenever he called her, she would look like she had lost her soul.
Disgruntled, he glanced at the television on the wall.
It was talking about the deaths at Lowen Group's construction site. His lips curved into a faint smile.
This would make Patrick busy for quite some time.
Angeline also saw the news, so she hurriedly took the remote control to turn up the volume.
“Lowen Group is in trouble. It's that piece of land at the eastern district.”
Her face broke into a grin when she saw the news.
“Serves Patrick right. Back then, your grandfather wanted you to get that piece of land, and he scolded
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou when you couldn't get it. It's gratifying now that this had happened.”
Zayden remained silent. Angeline knew he could not see but could still hear the news.
“Zay, did you hear the news from the television just now?”
Zayden felt around for the pillow and slowly leaned back. “Mom, this is Lowen Group's matter. We can't
participate nor judge this.”
He was the type of person who took a clear stance on things.
Angeline stood up and paced the room.
“This couch is not meant for sleeping. My legs are sore from bending for a long time, and it even feels
uncomfortable when I walk.”
It was also because of that couch that Zayden could not bear for Gwendolyn to stay overnight, as he
was afraid she would not be able to get a good night's rest.
“Mom, Gwen can take care of me now, so you don't need to come to the hospital anymore.”
Angeline usually had a busy schedule and had several activities to attend since socialites loved to ask
her out.
She was busy every day, so she must be bored from being stuck in the hospital.
Angeline sighed. Just the previous day, she went to a tea party, but the people there were all pitying
her. They were all talking about what she should do in the future and how her other family members
would take over Surrington Corporation.
Then, they started to talk about her blind son and how she was very miserable since she would have to
take care of him for the rest of her life.
As someone who had never been through such patronization, she felt an increasing urge to leave the
tea party the more she heard them talk.
Ultimately, she walked off, ending on bad terms with them.
She finally saw their true colors. During the time her son was in a high position, they all ingratiate
themselves with her. However, when an accident befell him, they hoped he would be blind forever.
She was in no mood to go to events, as she had a more important thing to do, which was to
accompany her son.
“Mom, did you hear what I said?”
“Zay, I'm your mother. You can't stop me from coming. You don't let anyone from the family come here,
not even your grandmother and father. They are all waiting for my news every day. I need to come
here.”
Just then, Rosalie walked in. She was supporting Linda as they entered the ward.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt the sight of the elderly woman, Angeline immediately straightened her back. The Chavez family was
one of the four most prominent families in Avenport. The Surrington family was second in position,
followed by the Chavez family and the Gomez family.
The four most prominent families maintained a decent relationship with one another, as they would
usually meet during their socialite gatherings.
“Old Mrs. Chavez, why are you here?”
Clad in a silver dress, Linda looked elegant.
She looked at the man on the hospital bed. “I came to the hospital for a checkup, and I heard from
Kevin that Zayden was staying in the hospital. Since our families have been friends for generations, I
naturally have to come and pay Zayden a visit.”
Her housekeeper brought in some fruits and health supplements which the Surrington family's
housekeeper took over.
At that moment, Gwendolyn had ended her call. That lively scene was what she witnessed upon
walking toward the ward.
She stood by the doorway, pondering whether or not she should enter the room.
Rosalie called her, “Gwen, you must be tired from taking care of Zayden! I also bought you some health
supplements. Remember to eat them!”
