Chapter 578 Fate Is Never On My Side

Felicia knitted her brows when she saw their interaction by the bed.

She whispered into Candace's ear, “Mom, just look at her. She's so good with her words. Grandpa might give her all his assets if she continues to talk to him like that.”

Candace, too, could not take it anymore. She stood up and walked over. “Gwen, your grandpa needs to rest since he has just come out of ICU.”

Her expression darkened, but she refrained from explicitly telling her to leave.

Gently patting Michael's hand, Gwendolyn said, “Grandpa, I'll let you rest now. You take care, okay?”

She turned around and was ready to leave, but Michael held onto her hand. “Gwen, bring the three kids to see me tomorrow. I want to meet them. And let's carry forward your wedding with Zayden. I want to witness you getting married in three days.”

Gwendolyn could not refuse his request. Seeing her grandfather in such a condition, she had no other option but to nod in agreement.

Michael looked toward Zayden and called him over, “Zay, come here.”

Suzanne helped Zayden walk over and placed his hand on Michael's.

“Zay, I entrust Gwen to you. Take good care of her and bring happiness to her life.” Upon learning about Gwendolyn's arduous life over the past six years, Michael felt a wave of regret washing over him.

Had he known the hardships she had endured, he would have brought her back home much earlier. It's all my fault for making her go through such a difficult life alone.

Now, Michael was determined to make things right.

He wanted to entrust her to someone reliable, someone who would provide her with the love and care she deserved so that she would not need to face challenges in life anymore.

Zayden responded, “Don't worry, Old Mr. Ashton. I'll love and cherish Gwen.”

Gwendolyn's gaze remained fixed on Michael's face. He has really aged so much.

The thought of losing her last remaining loved one overwhelmed her, and tears streamed down her cheeks uncontrollably.

Candace could only retreat to the couch. After taking a seat, she stared at them, a mixture of emotions stirring within her. Gwendolyn will soon marry into the Surrington family, and that'll make her an official lady of a prominent family. I guess it's a good thing they're getting married. It'll clear the path for Felicia to marry Patrick without any interference. The Lowen family is in a whole different league compared to the Surrington family. Even after Gwendolyn becomes a wife, we can still keep our grip on her and keep oppressing her. Furthermore, the fact that she'll be marrying a blind man means her life will just go downhill from there.

Felicia was all smiles when she picked up her phone and shot videos of their interactions by the bed. Great. It's over between Gwendolyn and Patrick.

She was determined to send those videos to Patrick, eager to deliver the message that Gwendolyn was now someone else's, and he should let go of any hope for a future with her.

Felicia believed that her grandfather falling ill was actually a positive development because it allowed Gwendolyn's wedding to be brought forward. If only I had a good relationship with Grandpa, then maybe I could have convinced him to make Patrick marry me as soon as possible. But it seems that fate is never on my side!

She could not contain her excitement about marrying Patrick. I wish I could marry him tomorrow! But when will he propose? When will he make me his wife?

Candace inched closer and asked, “What are you doing?”

Felicia kept away the video and whispered, “I'm going to show the video to Patrick so that he'll give up on her!”

Candace gave her a thumbs-up, and Felicia smirked in response.

Michael, feeling exhausted after his words, closed his eyes and weakly waved his hand. “You all should go home now. I'm tired.”

Although Gwendolyn wanted to keep him company, Michael did not allow it. I'll come and visit him tomorrow, then.

As they walked toward the door, Felicia suddenly spoke up. “Congrats, Gwen! You're going to be Mrs. Surrington soon!”

Gwendolyn gave her a cold glare. She then ignored her and walked away with Zayden.

Felicia snapped, “Gwendolyn, where are your manners? I sincerely wish you well, yet you gave me this attitude.”

Suzanne turned around, shooting daggers at her. “Your words didn't sound like a blessing at all. They were more like a curse to me.”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
