Super CEO Daddy

Chapter 661 I Am On A Diet

“Gwen, where are you?”

Gwendolyn checked her surroundings. After making sure Zayden wasn't nearby, she answered, “I'm out of the office at the moment to deliver some documents.”

They had no idea she was the CEO of Solstice Group since she had only told them about working in the design department. They assumed she was a low-rank employee of the company.

“Come to the Surrington residence, or do you want me to pick you up?”

Taken aback by his sudden request, she asked, “Did something happen?”

Having skipped Hans' birthday celebration, she was worried about explaining her absence.

“I'll come and pick you up, then. You'll know once we get there.”

Gwendolyn hurriedly answered, “It's all right. I'll head there straight away since I'm driving.”

She entered the elevator and pressed the button for the first floor. When the elevator doors slid open, she saw Liam and the others enter the elevator next to her.

They didn't see her when she stepped out of the elevator and walked toward the hall.

After taking a few steps, she ran into Alice, Hector, and Felicia.

Felicia was holding Alice's hand, and the trio seemed to be in a good mood, talking and laughing along the way.

It looks like Patrick is leaving the hospital today, and they're here to fetch him.

It was already too late when she tried to hide. Alice had an amused smile on her face when she spotted Gwendolyn.

“Gwen...” Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Gwendolyn had no choice but to greet them.

“Hello, Old Mr. and Mrs. Lowen.”

Felicia's expression turned sour at Gwendolyn's appearance.

“Gwen, are you looking forward to Grandpa's death since you come to the hospital every day?”

They thought Gwendolyn was aiming for a portion of family assets since she visited Michael daily.

Gwendolyn's expression changed slightly. “I'm not one of you guys.”

Hector cast an impassive glance at Gwendolyn, realizing she was quite bold and good at returning snappy remarks.

He had been there, so he could discern who visited him with a sincere heart.

Pat visited me every day. How could Fel say something so unpleasant and curse an elder?

He asked, “How long has it been since you last visited your grandpa, Fel?”

Felicia finally realized she had misspoken. It was a slip of her tongue from how agitated she got by running into Gwendolyn.

“I visited him yesterday.”

Truth be told, it had been a month since she last visited Michael because he had been getting better. Members of the Ashton family had lost their composure and patience with his improving health.

Hector smiled. “That's great!”

When Alice spoke to Gwendolyn, she held the latter's hand.

“Why have you lost weight, Gwen?”

I think Pat has also lost a lot of weight. These two kids haven't been doing well.

“I'm on a diet, Old Mrs. Lowen. I think I look great! Do I not look prettier now?”

Gwendolyn beamed. She hadn't smiled so brightly in a long time.

Alice patted her hand. “Pat is getting discharged today, and we're here to pick him up. If...”

She didn't continue as the words got stuck in her throat.

Naturally, Gwendolyn understood her unfinished question. After all, it was fantastic news that Patrick had finally recovered and could leave the hospital after being unconscious for such a long time.

She would have surely fetched him too if it were in the past. However, it was a scene she didn't dare to imagine now.

“You should get going, Old Mrs. Lowen. We don't want him losing his patience from waiting too long.”

Alice headed for the elevator. Hector was probably in a good mood since he didn't put Alice in a difficult position. He generously stood by the elevator and waited for Alice.

Gwendolyn watched as they entered the elevator. Once the doors close, she let out a sigh and left the hospital. She got into her car and drove to the Surrington residence.

While she was parking her car, another car had also just slid into a parking spot, and three children got out of it.

“Mommy!” Juliette called out and dashed to her side.
