The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Chapter 546 Abs

Her originally fair and delicate skin had been severely thafed by the heavy metal handcuffs

Thankfully, Cedrick administered a sedative in time. Otherwise, Gwendolyn’s hands would’ve been seriously damaged, even to the extent of losing a layer of flesh down to the bone

Joshua stood beside the door, taking in the affectionate interaction between the couple, and sighed wholeheartedly. Life is indeed full of ups and downs Things became better for once and just prended to ge downhill from there. In my recollection, Cedrick’s and Gwendolyn’s lives had never been peaceful Fate has been

kind to them

While Joshua was lost in his thoughts, Cedrick asked. “Can you think of another way? A method that doesn’t require sedation and can help Gwenny recover quickly while rapidly consuming her energy

Joshua sighed. “Cedrick, it would be great if such a perfect solution is available.”

The light in Cedrick’s eyes gradually dimmed.

Sensing his low spirits, Joshua suggested, “For now, the best method would be to bind Gwendolyn and lock her in the basement to endure the night.”

Cedrick didn’t even look at him. That’s not helpful at all.

Joshua continued contemplating before proposing another idea. “Or we can modify the basement a little and add some stress-relieving items that can allow her to vent without harming her body. At night, we can lock Gwendolyn in the basement. When her energy depletes and she falls silent, you can then carry her out and bring her to the laboratory for an IV drip. Cedrick, take your time to consider. I think this is the best solution so far. It won’t hurt you and can also protect Gwendolyn.”

Cedrick mulled over Joshua’s suggestion, thinking they could really give that method a try. “When Gwenny wakes up tomorrow, I’ll discuss this matter with her.”

Two hours later, Cedrick, carrying a sleeping Gwendolyn, walked alone through the winding corridors in the Jenson residence.

As he walked, he pondered Joshua’s proposition.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was a method worth trying.

He quickly carried Gwendolyn back to the room to rest. He spent the afternoon at home catching up on sleep, and now that he wasn’t sleepy anymore, he decided to try modifying the basement.

With that thought, he immediately plunged into the task of remodeling the basement

Since Gwendolyn had fallen ill, she felt there were no mornings in her day.

Every time she woke up, it was already either noon or afternoon.

Fortunately, the recent fluid administration had significantly reduced her fatigue.

When she woke up, Cedrick happened to have just figured out that she should be waking up, so he came in with a bowl of oatmeal.

Gwendolyn leaned against the head of the bed, looking at him with a vacant expression.
