The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Chapter 607 Gwendolyn Has Not Much Strength

Cedrick pondered for a while before proposing, “I’ll first accompany you to the lab today and have Joshua perform a test and full-body examination. To be on the safe side, we need to have a look at the report.”

Gwendolyn nodded and accepted his arrangements.

The two of them washed up together before leaving home. Soon, they arrived at the laboratory.

Joshua nervously took Gwendolyn’s blood to be tested.

After they waited for a little over half an hour, the report was finally ready.

“All the indicators are indeed more normal compared to before. But you’ve yet to recover fully. You still have to pay close attention to your emotional state in the future. Try your best not to be overly worked up. Also, remember to guard against arrogance and impetuousness.”

At that news, Cedrick unconsciously tightened his hold on Gwendolyn’s hand. However, his many years of experience as the leader and person in charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation reminded him that he had to remain calm.

He forcibly suppressed his excitement and exchanged a smile with his wife.

Joshua continued, “Judging from your current recovery, you probably don’t need any more IV infusions I’ll prescribe you some oral meds to keep you calm. Take it with the current medication.” Gratification suffused him as he looked at the report in front of him. “I didn’t expect you to be cured so quickly under Cedrick’s care just after taking IV infusions for two months consecutively, Gwendolyn. This is great news! You’re both blessed.”

All smiles, Gwendolyn replied, “It’s thanks to you, too. You’re the person who made this happen.”

Joshua waved his hands profusely, not daring to accept the praise. “This isn’t my credit. The honor should belong to Cedrick instead. No matter the hour, he insisted on keeping you company when you had your IV infusions. He willingly became your punching bag and an avenue for you to vent whenever you had a manic episode. If I were in his shoes, I would never be able to do all that.”

At the mention of how she had gotten violent with Cedrick back then, Gwendolyn felt guilty deep within. She lowered her eyes and bobbed her head silently in agreement with the man’s words.

Cedrick perceptively noticed the change in her expression. He retorted blasély, “That’s because you’ve never been in a relationship. When you get married, you’ll know how it feels to love someone. Besides, Gwenny hasn’t much strength. Her blows don’t hurt at all. Don’t take me for such a weakling

The corners of Joshua’s mouth twitched.

Back when he went on a business trip and entrusted Gwendolyn to me, I was the one who arranged for four strapping bodyguards from the lab to fight her when she was in the grips of a manic episode. They all ended up black and bruised, then came crying to me that they’d never take such a job again. Yet, he’s claiming that she hasn’t much strength and her blows don’t hurt at all?

Aware that his friend was comforting his wife, he did not expose him but played along. “Yes, yes, Gwendolyn hasn’t much strength. She can’t even unscrew the cap of a bottle, so even if she hit you while having a manic episode, it would only feel like scratches from a kitten.”
