Chapter 523
Hector huffed in exasperation while pointing at him. “Patrick, you're driving me mad!”
Felicia hurried over upon hearing that, trying to soothe Hector's nerves. “Calm down, Old Mr. Lowen.”
Hector was not that angry actually. He was just a bit upset that Patrick had ignored him.
However, when he heard Felicia, he raised his hand and clutched his chest with faux distress.
Felicia quickly called out, “Patrick, Old Mr. Lowen doesn't look so well.”
The two, who were walking upstairs, paused and looked over. Gwendolyn was flustered when she saw Hector's distressed look. “Is Old Mr. Lowen going to have an episode again?”
Upon noticing the situation, Patrick let go of Gwendolyn's hand and strode toward the couch.
Patrick bent over and hummed, “Grandpa.”
After that, he called for help. “Someone, please bring Old Mr. Lowen's medicine over.”
In an instant, Hector's doctor and nurse rushed over to feed him medicine and examine his condition.
Gwendolyn stood in her spot. The concerned look on Patrick's face was a clear indicator to her that he was genuinely worried about Hector. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
After all, he was raised up by his grandparents, who were also his only family now.
Gwendolyn pouted. Just like Patrick, she had someone whom she greatly care about too.
Gwendolyn's grandfather was one of the most important people to her. She exhaled deeply and knew that a call for an ambulance was unnecessary. Hector would be all right with the help of the medical staff.
She thought of leaving as she knew her presence here would only upset Hector more.
After Hector took his medicine and the doctor declared everything was fine, Patrick cast a glance in the direction of the stairs before giving a once-over at the house.
His face fell, and he somehow felt agitated.
The next morning, Gwendolyn was woken up by the sound of her ringtone. She grabbed the phone and saw that the call was from an unfamiliar number.
It's only half past six. Who's calling in this early hour? Did something happen at the hospital?
She quickly answered the call. “Hello?”
“Ms. Ashton, I'm your assistant, Connor Wable. I'm here at Star Mansion. You have a meeting to attend today.”
Gwendolyn was taken aback by the man's words.
“What? My assistant?” she exclaimed in surprise. Since when did I have an assistant? Am I dreaming?
“Yes. You're now the CEO of Solstice Group. I'm your assistant.”
It was only then realization dawned on Gwendolyn.
“I see. Solstice Group,” she murmured.
She remembered a lawyer came to her last time and asked her to sign a transfer of ownership document. So the paperwork is all done? I'm now the CEO of Solstice Group. Well, it does feel like I'm dreaming. On second thought, Ms. Sanders is not a bad person. I don't mind taking over the company temporarily. I will return the company to Ms. Sanders when her daughter comes back.
“All right. I'll be right there.”
Although Gwendolyn was still a little groggy and disorientated, she scrambled up from the bed as she knew someone was waiting for her outside. Then, she picked a white pantsuit from the walk-in closet.
She put on a little makeup to make herself look more energetic and mature.
Gwendolyn rushed downstairs in a hurry. Although she had tried her best to speed up, it still took her twenty minutes to get ready.
Camille asked when she saw that Gwendolyn was up so early. “Are you going to the hospital this early? Did something happen over there?”
Lucy mattered a lot to Gwendolyn. She would put aside any other matters, no matter how important they were, to attend to Lucy if necessary.
That was why Camille thought Gwendolyn woke up early in the morning to rush to the hospital.
Gwendolyn replied, “No. I'm going to work. Camille, please guide the kids to the school bus later.”
“Aren't you going to take your breakfast?” Camille trotted behind Gwendolyn. She noticed the latter was not heading toward the garage. Instead, she walked straight out of the door.
Gwendolyn hastily walked out of the mansion. After leaving the main gate of the mansion, she saw a black car parked by the side of the road and walked over.
The car window was lowered and revealed a man in a black suit and glasses sitting in the driver's seat.
He nodded slightly to Gwendolyn. “Ms. Ashton, I'm Connor Wable.”
