The bodyguard walked out of the ward and closed the door behind him.

“Old Mr. Ashton has just fallen asleep, Ms. Gwendolyn. You can visit him when he wakes up,” he repeated Candace's earlier words.

His voice was devoid of warmth. Standing tall and rigid, he resembled a statue.

When Gwendolyn probed for the rationale, he refused to respond.

Suzanne couldn't bear the mistreatment any longer. “Ms. Ashton, why are they so heartless? Why can't they let you see your grandfather?”

She rolled up her sleeves, preparing to start a fight.

Even though the two men might appear tall and strong, she was not intimidated.

With just a flick of her finger, she could easily toss them aside.

Gwendolyn promptly restrained her.

“Suzanne, don't resort to violence. You'll get hurt.”

Suzanne handed her the bag she was holding and assured her, “Don't worry. They can't beat me.”

With that, she was about to step forward and force her way in.

Zayden called out to her, “That's enough. Old Mr. Ashton is a patient, and he needs rest. You will only disturb him.”

Since Zayden had spoken, Suzanne naturally dared not confront them anymore.

She took a step back and hugged the bag of snacks to her chest.

“Well, I won't fight, then.”

Gwendolyn observed Suzanne, a young girl who seemed to be under eighteen. She had neat-cut bangs, and large watery eyes, and was dressed in a black and white maid outfit.

She looked like a little girl straight out of a comic book.

Gwendolyn had never anticipated that such a young girl would possess such courage and get involved in a fight.

Her affection for Suzanne deepened, and she pulled her into a warm embrace, gently caressing her head.

“Thank you, Suzanne,” she said sincerely.

As Gwendolyn held her close, Suzanne felt a comforting warmth envelop her heart. Her eyes welled up with tears, and she sniffled before breaking into a wide smile.

“You're Mr. Surrington's girlfriend, Ms. Ashton, so we're practically family.”

Gwendolyn gently caressed her cheek. “Yes, we're family. If you ever need anything, just come to me. And don't call me Ms. Ashton anymore. Call me Gwen!”

“Okay, Gwen!” Suzanne smiled.

“Great!”

The two women embraced each other affectionately as they exchanged laughter and playful banter.

Meanwhile, Zayden stood motionless, his gaze fixed on the two bodyguards.

He seemed to be looking for an opportunity to persuade Michael to shift the wedding date earlier. If he were to pass away before that happened, Gwendolyn might refuse to marry him.

Gwendolyn hugged Zayden's arm and said, “Let's go and do your health check-up, pick up the medication, and then we can come back.”

Although Zayden didn't like the idea of a health check-up, he concealed his emotions well.

“Okay.”

After all, Gwendolyn had moved to Dragonhill, indicating that she had cut ties with Patrick. Seeing that she had been relatively well-behaved, he decided not to give her a hard time and even granted her a small favor.

The trio exited the inpatient building and made their way to the outpatient building.

Gwendolyn had asked Angeline to make an appointment, so they could see the doctor as soon as they arrived.

The Surrington family held a prominent reputation in Avenport. When Angeline made the appointment, the doctors had to show them some respect. They were given priority for consultations and could proceed with the necessary examinations thereafter.

While a dedicated nurse accompanied Zayden for his check-up, Gwendolyn and Suzanne waited for him at the entrance and rest area.

Upon entering the medical facility, Zayden immediately said to the nurse, “You don't need to accompany me anymore. I won't be having the examination. Just get me a fake report and wait here

afterward.”

Having said that, he cautiously moved forward with his cane. The nurse called out to him, “Mr. Surrington, what about your condition?”

“Don't worry. I'm used to it. Let's meet back here in an hour,” Zayden replied.

He then took out his phone and called someone.

“Jason, have you arrived? Good. Wait for me at the entrance of the inpatient building.”

He was going to look for Michael to request an earlier wedding date.

Gwendolyn stood up from the rest area and walked to the window to take a breath. The disinfectant smell in the air was overwhelming, and she couldn't stand it.

At that moment, there was a commotion among the people nearby.

“Wow, that man is so handsome!”

“The doctor beside him is handsome too!”
