The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

chapter 524 Is This How You Apologize

High fevers?

Gwendolyn held her breath as her countenance turned solemn. The next moment, she turned on her heels and headed for the door. “Let’s book plane tickets right now and return.”

“Calm down. Darling Cedrick held her by the wrist. “It’s nighttime in Chanaea now. We didn’t bring our private jet here this time, and we’re not sure if there are flights going to Chanaea at night. Even if we leave now, the flight will be more than twenty hours long.”

Shooting him a cold look. Gwendolyn retorted. “Then are we going to sit back and do nothing? Cedrick, the kids got sick because we’re away. Aren’t you worried at all?”

She flung his hand away and strode out of the venue in her high heels.

Cedrick let out a long sigh and chased after her. “It’s my fault this happened. I’m also worried about the kids, but it’s going to take too long for us to get back. I’ve informed Charles about this over the phone and asked Nico to call for pediatricians from the Jenson family’s medical corps.” He walked beside Gwendolyn. “Charles promised me to look after them. He’ll stay with them and make sure they take their medicines and get their shots, so rest assured.”

Without saying anything. Gwendolyn walked ahead. From her frosty expression, it was obvious she was in a terrible mood. Her silence was like the calm before the storm.

His Adam’s apple bobbing. Cedrick trailed behind her obediently as he racked his brains for something to

say.

“Darling, the kids are still young. Getting minor sicknesses like this is a normal part of growing up…”

Gwendolyn suddenly paused in her tracks and looked back to glare at Cedrick.

Feeling her deadly stare, Cedrick quickly shut his mouth and followed her meekly.

The two of them walked back to the hotel in silence, and the entire time, Gwendolyn was on her phone looking for plane tickets,

All flights returning to Chanaea that night were fully booked, so she could only choose the earliest flight the next day. That meant it would be midnight again by the time they arrived.

Just the thought of her young children suffering from high fever made her heart ache.

At that moment, Gwendolyn wished nothing but to teleport to the children’s side to take care of them.

Upon reaching the room, she began packing her things.

She had booked a six o’clock flight for the next morning, so she wouldn’t have time to organize her luggage after waking up.

She had to sort out the things she needed now to save time the next day.
