Chapter 655 Torment Each Other To Death
Zayden's face contorted when he heard those words. He pulled Gwendolyn to the side, then abruptly
shoved her away, causing her to stagger a few steps forward.
After steadying herself, she glanced down at her feet.
Thankfully, the heels she wore were not too high; otherwise, she might have twisted her ankles.
She tightened her grip on her handbag and stared icily at the man before her.
Zayden had become someone she was unfamiliar with anymore. It was as if he had become a totally
different person.
The Zayden she knew in the past would not behave like this. Right now, he was no different from a
monster.
“Gwen, you better behave and come with me to greet Grandpa. Or else...” He paused, his gaze shifting
toward the children in the car.
His reaction caused panic to well up within Gwendolyn. “Don't you dare touch the kids! This is between
you and me. Do not drag the children in.”
Zayden inched closer, embracing her neck as his eyes bore into hers.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Gwen, you owe me. So, we can only continue tormenting each other for the rest of our lives. Don't
ever think you can escape my grasp. It'll never happen,” he declared, his eyes filled with hatred as well.
His intense gaze felt so alien to Gwendolyn that she pushed him away. “I know I owe you. Fine. Let's
torment each other to death!”
After speaking, she walked with determined strides, making her way toward the parking lot.
Zayden's lips curled into a cold, sinister smile as he raised his hand to touch his chest. He could still
feel the warmth from her fingers where she had pushed him moments ago.
His smile grew even darker as he straightened his clothes and strode toward the main building.
When Gwendolyn returned to the car, Juliette asked, “Mommy, are we going back now?”
Seeing the disappointment on her daughter's face, Gwendolyn reached out to touch her face. “I'm
sorry, Sweetheart. It's Mommy's fault.”
Her two sons were well aware of the situation. The fact that they were excluded from both the wedding
and today's birthday celebration made it evident that the Surringtons refused to acknowledge them.
Nonetheless, they were not upset about it because they did not accept the Surringtons as their family
either.
Juliette pondered for a moment, noticing that Gwendolyn seemed unhappy lately.
“Where are we going now?” she asked, her tiny hand gently caressing Gwendolyn's back, seemingly
trying to console her.
Juliette's gesture instantly warmed Gwendolyn's heart. Despite her earlier anger and frustration, having
the three children by her side made everything worthwhile. “Let's go and visit Great-grandpa.”
Although Zayden had deceived her into marrying him, Gwendolyn found solace in knowing that she
was able to bring comfort to Michael.
They had thought he would not make it, but three months had passed, and he was still alive and well.
As they reached the hospital, Gwendolyn held Juliette's tiny hand firmly and led her toward the
inpatient building.
Julian and Justin, who were walking a few steps behind, overheard the nurse next to them talking. “The
patient in Room 1401 has finally regained consciousness. Dr. Wantark asked me to inform the director.”
“He's awake? You better hurry, then,” another nurse replied.
After a brief exchange, the two nurses went their separate ways.
Justin and Julian exchanged glances when they heard the room number—the ward where Patrick was
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmin. They had been visiting him regularly, so they knew it well.
“Did you hear that, Justin? He's come around,” Julian said.
The two boys had already confirmed that Patrick was their biological father, so they felt a unique
connection to him.
Justin nodded in response. “Let's sneak over to check on him later.”
Julian's face lit up with joy. “Do you think he woke up because he heard the things we told him earlier?”
They walked while talking, obviously in a good mood.
The four of them soon arrived at Michael's ward, where Zachary and Candace were also present.
Candace got up and said with a sarcastic tone, “Gwen, did you come here to check if your grandpa is
dead?”
Candace believed Gwendolyn was still trying to get a share of the Ashton family's assets. She could
not stand how Gwendolyn continued to visit Michael even after getting married. Candace had
attempted to stop her visits, but Zachary had forbidden her from doing so.
Zachary stood up and said, “Gwen, you're here.”
His attitude was clearly different from before as if some newfound understanding had enlightened him.
