He filled a cup with coffee and passed it over to Gwendolyn.
“Thanks, Gwendolyn said, sitting on the couch, her eyes slightly swollen, her voice hoarse..
Sanford measured his wonds carefully. “What’s wrong?
Gwendolyn looked up, her eyes bloodshot “Mr. Hamilton, I need to resign.”
“Why? The hospital’s been backing you, grooming you to be a star doctor. Don’t you want to be someone like Enoch White?”
Gwendolyn’s gaze firmed, “I just don’t get it. You begged me to save lives. How can you have the audacity to threaten me with divorce?
Her heart was filled with grievances and resentment
A flash of realization crossed Sanford’s face, and he felt a surge of quilt.
Pushing his gold rimmed glasses up, he said, “Has my mother been troubling you? I’m sorry, I’ll talk to her. She’s been unstable since Selina’s attempt”
“Attempt? A shallow scar? The kind where she’s up and posting on social media the next day?”
The image of Nicolette’s battered knee flashed through Gwendolyn’s mind, her tone indignant.
“Social media? Sanford asked, puzzled
Gwendolyn pulled out her phone, opened an app, and tossed it to Sanford.
He looked at the screen and his pupils contracted, realizing Seline had blocked them, a clear provocation to Gwendolyn.
“It’s my fault” Sanford said. “Howard didn’t want to meet Selina at first, I called him. Nothing happened between them; I was there the whole time”
Sanford stopped short, knowing he couldn’t reveal everything about Howard, who had sworn him to secrecy
He never expected Selina to stoop so low, maybe she was out of her mind. To think she dared to install cameras in the Chadwick family home, and then use private footage to blackmail Howard Chadwick.
“Nothing happened? Then why did Selina have Howard feed her? Hand her fruit?” Gwendolyn had overheard it all herself.
Hearing the jealousy in her tone, Sanford knew she had seen them. He said with a smile, “Howard said if you don’t have hands to feed yourself, you shouldn’t eat. My wife is quite the jealous one. So the food and fruit went straight into the trash”
Gwendolyn’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
“I am Selina’s brother, but I won’t blindly take her side. You and Howard are married; her behavior was unethical. Gwendolyn, not everyone is blind or heartless.”
Sanford was a gentleman, cold on the outside but warm within, always polite.
Gwendolyn said, “Mr. Hamilton, you always say the nicest things. But I still want to resign. It’s not a rash decision or out of revenge.” NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
She didn’t
‘t want to be threatened and didn’t want to follow the routine anymore.
Since she already had her medical license and was a member of the Bayridge Health Association, it was time to pursue her own dreams
Sanford couldn’t hide his disappointment, “Think it over for a few more days. If you’re still determined next time, Il approve it.” “Alright” Gwendolyn responded softly. Maybe she should even thank Magnolia for giving her the courage to decide.
As she stepped out of the director’s office, she saw Sandra in the corridor.
Sandra lifted her car keys, “Im off work. You seem down, so let me take you somewhere nice.”
“My grandmother…” Gwendolyn started to refuse.
Sandra wrapped an arm around her waist, “Don’t worry, I’ve arranged for a caregiver. Absolutely reliable. Granny agreed to let me take you out, her injuries aren’t serious”
“Where to?” Gwendolyn asked, resigned.
Sandra grinned mysteriously, “You’ll see when we get there.
