Chapter 732 Chase Him Away
Kevin cast a quick glance at the man cradling his daughter and then shifted his gaze to the elegant woman standing beside the latter.
This should have been the picture-perfect family... Alas, fate has twisted it into a situation where she had become another man's wife. What a heart-wrenching situation...
Kevin's expression grew more serious. “Her fever was triggered by food stagnation. Juliette has a delicate constitution, so she needs to be mindful of her diet. It's best to avoid excessive consumption of cold foods and overeating,” he explained.
Gwendolyn had always placed restrictions on her daughter's diet, especially when it came to consuming cold foods.
Patrick suddenly interjected, “She had a lot of snacks and went through three boxes of ice cream today.”
Upon hearing that, Gwendolyn walked over to him. “She had that much ice cream? Normally, I only allow her to have a few bites. Her digestive system is delicate and can't handle excessive amounts,” she remarked.
She had made numerous trips to the hospital raising this daughter of hers.
In fact, her first encounter with Patrick actually took place in a hospital. On that particular night, she was in a disheveled state because Juliette had a fever-induced seizure, driving Gwendolyn to a state of panic.
Patrick murmured, “I'm sorry... This is all my fault.”
He wasn't aware that his daughter shouldn't consume these items. He only thought that if it was something she enjoyed, he would provide it for her.
He was reluctant to impose too many restrictions on the little girl. Yet, in hindsight, it was evident that certain limitations were necessary, and complete freedom wasn't always the best approach.
Gwendolyn hesitated for a moment upon hearing his words, for she was caught off guard by Patrick's obedient side.
She quickly replied, “It's not your fault.”
If anyone is to blame, it should be me. I was the one who left Juliette at Lucy's house. I can't believe that d*mn woman allowed my daughter and the others to leave with Patrick.
Upon that thought, she muttered under her breath, “Luce, you b*stard. You've put me in such a mess.”
After all, spending the middle of the night alone with Patrick at the hospital was a kind of ordeal for her.
Seeing the two of them like this, Kevin couldn't help but curve his lips into a mischievous smile.
He said, “Pat, since Juliette's condition is stable now, I should head back. Estelle is still waiting for me.”
It was rare that Estelle didn't make a fuss about going home that night. Since she was staying at his place and being summoned over in the dead of night had left her quite unhappy, Kevin reckoned he needed to get back to her as soon as possible.
Gwendolyn walked over to see him off and said, “Thanks for your hard work, Mr. Chavez.”
She accompanied him to the door, and out of the blue, Kevin asked, “Gwen, if the father of your three children wanted to take them away, would you allow it?”
He had a sudden urge to probe Gwendolyn's thoughts on the matter. Given that it was now certain these three children belonged to Patrick, he figured the man certainly wouldn't allow his own children to be left without care.
Now that Gwendolyn has married Zayden, Pat should be inclined to bring the three children back to the Lowen residence. After all, the two elders in the Lowen family can be quite relentless. With this, he would be able to appease them.
Gwendolyn widened her eyes in surprise. She hadn't thought about this issue before. She pondered for a moment before responding, “The children are mine alone.”
Although the children had the right to know who their father was, they were hers, and she wouldn't give them up.
Kevin smiled at that. It seems like it's going to be hard for Pat to take the three children away.
He shook his head, sympathizing with Patrick's plight. To lose the woman he loved to another man and have the children acknowledge someone else as their father is undoubtedly a tough situation. Now, even the prospect of reclaiming the children is proving to be an arduous task, let alone attempting to win back his own woman.
Sighing at the complexity of it all, Kevin found himself grappling with how to approach the situation. Ultimately, he could only leave it to Patrick to figure it out.
“I'm leaving now. Take care.” Kevin bid his farewell before striding toward the elevator.
While on the move, he sent a message to Patrick: I've sounded out Gwendolyn for you. I asked if she'd agree to let the biological father of the children take custody, and she declined. Good luck, my friend!
Patrick had been scrolling through the news on his phone when he received Kevin's message. He glanced at the contents briefly before raising his head to look at the woman who had just entered. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Noticing his gaze fixed upon her, Gwendolyn instinctively pressed her lips together, her expression revealing a hint of unease.
“Mr. Lowen, let me hold her instead. You can go back and get some rest,” she suggested.
