Chapter 91
You… Gwendolyn’s face flushed, and her heart seared with pain and rage!
Howard gripped her hand tightly, lifting his gaze to meet Bainbridge’s. “Well, I’ll wait to see the so– called double celebration.”
Though disheveled and humiliated, he maintained an air of icy solitude.
Bainbridge scoffed, “Still acting all big and important? Let’s see if you can even make a dent!” Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
It really should be a day for celebration!
Gwendolyn bit her lip hard, pushing Howard’s wheelchair towards the exit.
Bainbridge stuck out a foot, deliberately blocking the wheelchair’s path.
The chair toppled over. Howard hit the ground, his insides churning as if he were about to vomit blood.
“Mr. Chadwick!” Gwendolyn rushed to his aid.
own feet.
Looking down from his height of arrogance, Bainbridge cackled maliciously, “Ha! What can a damned cripple like you do against me? You can’t even stand on your You’re not hoping that Waldo can fix your legs, right?”
“Listen,” Bainbridge hissed as he squatted down, face twisted with spite. “Waldo is my man, not some apprentice of Enoch. You, my dear, won’t last much longer!”
“You’re full of it! You’re the one with one foot in the grave!”
Gwendolyn’s eyes blazed with fury. “He’ll live a long, long life! Much longer than you!”
She’d ensure he would be safe and sound for a lifetime.
“You think you can cross me, country girl? You and your lot are nothing more than specks in my world!” After venting his spleen, Bainbridge strutted away.
Bainbridge and his parents walked together, loudly discussing what to feast on to celebrate.
They believed that the thorn in their side, Howard, was thoroughly eradicated from this day forward!
Gwendolyn carefully helped Howard back into his wheelchair.
With a heavy silence, she pushed the wheelchair out, tears streaming relentlessly down her cheeks.
“Did my Dr, Gwen get hurt?” His voice was weak, yet there was a trace of ease.
Behind him, Gwendolyn shook her head. Then she remembered he couldn’t see her and said, “No, it didn’t, not a bit. He’s just a sick old man with no real strength.”
“I never heard you cuss before. I thought you were all sweet and polite. Why’d you have to go and swear at Bainbridge?” Even at that moment, Howard found the spirit for a jest.
“He deserved it! I couldn’t think of any other curse words.”
She felt so foolish!
“Next time, we’ll learn some choice words together,” he soothed.
“Okay.” Her voice choked up, and she couldn’t hold back her sobs any longer.
Cliff, the driver, was shocked to see them return in such a mess.
He hurriedly drove the car, taking them back to the small villa.
“Marina, come quick!” Cliff shouted, “Mr. Mrs. Chadwick are injured!”
Marina dashed out, gasping at the sight of them. “Good heavens! What happened? I… I’ll get a doctor. No, wait, I’ll fetch some ice for the swelling.”
She was in a flutter, all flustered.
Gwendolyn calmed down. “Marina, I am the doctor. I’ll take care of the wounds. Could you please make something to eat in the kitchen?”
“Right away!” Marina nodded.
As they spoke, a car and hurried footsteps approached.
Roselind burst in, with Jameson close behind.
“What in the world happened? News traveled from the manor that you got into it with your grandfather, and I was worried sick.” She scrutinized Howard. “You’re bleeding! There are wounds all over, even on your neck. Did he invoke the family punishment?”
His white shirt was soaked in blood, a ghastly sight..
Tears filled Roselind’s eyes as she watched them.
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree,” Jameson muttered, shaking his head. “The family hasn’t resorted to such measures in years. What exactly went down?”
Howard took out the ‘Disownment Declaration‘ and laid it before them. “I’m sorry, I took the liberty of severing ties with the Chadwick family.
