Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 651

Chapter 651 Something Has Happened To Benny

Everything was well taken care of during this trip to Fairlake.

Kieran didn't leave. He chose to remain by Inez's side as her secretary at Mossey Corporation in Fairlake.

Given how hard it was for him to love someone deeply and devote himself, Gwendolyn didn't stop him.

On the plane back home, she rested her head against Cedrick's shoulder and peered out at the sky full of clouds, summing up the recent marriages of the people around her.

“Nico and Summer will be announcing their engagement in two days, right? Then, Kieran and Inez will be registering their marriage next month. So, that leaves us with Treyton and Jennifer. I'm not sure how they're doing, though. Treyton isn't that clueless when it comes to love, so I wonder if he's able to make Jennifer fall for him again.”

Cedrick tapped the woman's nose dotingly. “This is between them, so let them handle it themselves.”

Gwendolyn nodded.

She couldn't help but feel affected. If only Craig hadn't tried to control Jennifer's thoughts with that drug, she wouldn't have lost her nerves and forgotten everything that's happened over the past four years, including all her memories of Treyton. If it weren't for Craig, she and Treyton would've long been married by now.

“I've been so busy lately that I haven't checked in on Jennifer and the e-sports club. I heard there's an international final tournament going on. I'll find some time to drop by when we get back.”

Cedrick was visibly surprised. “Are you actually discussing your work schedule with me, Darling?”

Uh...

Gwendolyn was momentarily speechless, but she quickly responded with a grin, “Well, your opinions won't change my schedule. I'm just telling you my plans out of respect for you as your wife.”

Cedrick didn't know what to say.

Outside, the sun began to rise, dyeing the clouds pink.

“Look, Hubby! Aren't these clouds the same color as what I did to you last night?” Gwendolyn asked impishly, pointing out the window.

Cedrick stilled briefly and glanced in the direction of her finger before answering seriously, “A little, but these aren't as red as what you did.”

The woman snorted. While thinking of last night's escapade, she tilted her head and planted a kiss on his lips.

“I hope we'll be happy and healthy for the rest of our lives—you, me, Benny, and Zendy.”

Cedrick held her domineeringly and returned the kiss. “Of course.”

The two landed in Salinsburgh after a few hours of traveling by air.

As they walked down the VIP passage, Gwendolyn's phone rang all of a sudden.

The call came from Charles.

With her flight mode now deactivated, the woman finally realized that he had called her ten times while she was on the plane.

Ten missed calls? How urgent could it be?

She picked up the phone immediately.

“Gwen! Something's happened to Benny!” Charles exclaimed.

Gwendolyn felt her stomach drop.

After remaining silent for a while, she composed herself and asked, “What happened to him?”

Noticing the grave look on her face, Cedrick stopped in his tracks.

Charles took a deep breath. “It's... not that serious. I'm at Grand Valley Hospital with Benny now. He's getting a full-body check-up. Come over if you and Cedrick are back in Salinsburgh.”

Gwendolyn's mind began to buzz as she hung up.

“Don't think too much. It could just be a minor illness! It doesn't necessarily have something to do with the virus,” she assured him, stroking his face.

Despite feeling extremely anxious herself, she still chose to console the man.

Charles froze upon hearing the word “virus.” He felt as though he had been stabbed in the chest like a knife.

His face turned pale as nervousness washed over him.

Cedrick's only been hit by one strain of virus, and I'm the one who created it. What if it ends up affecting Benny too?

A complex feeling swirled within him. He dared not even imagine such an outcome.

“I'm sorry.” He hung his head low in shame, tears threatening to spill down the sides of his blue eyes.

Gwendolyn and Cedrick fell quiet at the same time.

Charles gulped. “If Benny's frail health and this sickness of his was a result of my past mistakes, I'd be terribly ashamed as their godfather. I wouldn't be able to make it up to them even if I were to die.”

Cedrick's gaze turned glacier-like. “Since you're aware that dying isn't going to fix anything, you better stay alive and do what you can to make it up to these two innocent children.”

Charles nodded in desolation.

The entire hallway felt suffocating.

The three of them sat anxiously, desperate to know the results of the check-up but, at the same time, fearing what they might hear.

The door to the examination room opened half an hour later.

Cedrick, Gwendolyn, and Charles ran in at the same time to find out the results of Benedict's check-up.
