The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Chapter 325 If He Dies

However, Gwendolyn’s words were already out in the air. There was no room for regret, so she could only try to persuade them.

She was so worried that her lower lip, tears rolled down her face. She choked out, “So my life is important, but Cedrick’s isn’t? He ended up in this condition because of me! If it wasn’t for him, I’d be the one on the bed right now. How can you be so heartless toward him?”

Hearing that, the three men fell silent.

Out of the three of them, Treyton knew everything that happened in Fairlake the best. Furthermore, he had talked to Cedrick back at Eloise’s birthday party, and he found himself fond of Cedrick’s honesty.

As a wave of guilt surged in his heart, he rose to his feet and reached out for Gwendolyn. “Kiddo, stand up first. You need to give Asher and Kieran some time to think about these matters.

Gwendolyn rejected his help.

Asher and Kieran had much time left to contemplate, but Cedrick’s time was running out.

Thus, she remained determined in her stance as she shifted closer to Asher on her knees.

“Cedrick lost his parents at a young age and was raised by the strict Old Mr. Jenson. He grew up in a very lonely environment. He’s not like me, who learns what love is from my brothers and my parents. I’ve been surrounded by people who are loving, and I grew up doted on by everyone. That’s why he cherishes the love that others give to him. He’ll always do everything he can for me without hesitation. Hence, he’s terrified that I’ll abandon him. When he found out that he didn’t have long to live, he never thought of guilt–tripping me with the love I had for him. Instead, he was scared that I’d be sad, so he wanted to slink away to die in a quiet corner alone instead. If I didn’t notice anything amiss, I would’ve been oblivious to this until now. Asher, Kieran, Treyton, I’ll never meet another man who loves me so wholeheartedly as he does ever again. If he dies, my heart will follow him to the afterlife. You’ll only truly be doting on me if you accept him and help him while he’s sick right now. Please have faith in me. I’m no longer a child, and this time, I’m going to take good care of myself and come back safely with the supervirus serum. Just think of this as a journey I must go through in life. I won’t let anything happen to me.”

Kieran and Treyton sighed, moved by her words, and they turned to look at Treyton–the man with the final say.

Asher lowered his gaze as a complicated look crossed his face. He was quiet for a long while.

“Asher, please!” Gwendolyn squeezed out, the desolation and determination visible on her tear–tracked face.

When she realized that Asher was still hesitating, she hunched over, about to prostrate herself before him.

Swiftly, Asher reached out to stop her.

This was the sister he had doted on and spoiled for decades, but there she was, sobbing and pleading with him in desperation. He had to admit that his determination was wavering.
