Upon leaving the hospital waiting room, Cedrick took Charles to the pediatric ward where Benedict was.

Gwendolyn was sleeping right beside Benedict’s bed.

She had been having a hard time because of the intense sex that night before boarding the plane. It was Cedrick’s massages that morning that made her waist and back feel much better.

Yet, the second she arrived in Salinsburgh, she found out about Benedict’s condition, which made her worry the entire day. Only Cedrick knew how tired she was.

He could not bring himself to wake her up, so he tiptoed over and draped a thin quilt over his wife’s slender shoulders.

Then, with great caution, he leaned over and planted a gentle kiss on her cheek.

Gwendolyn was so sound asleep that she did not stir.

Charles stood by the door and watched the entire scene. He lowered his blue eyes to hide his emotions.

When the two men exited Grand Valley Hospital, they went straight to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Since it was late at night, only a few police officers were working overtime in the building.

Even Nico, who was already asleep, rushed straight to the Federal Bureau of Investigation when he heard that Cedrick was heading there because of Benedict’s incident.

By the time Cedrick and Charles arrived at the entrance in the luxury car, Nico had already been waiting for quite a while.

Standing in the cold wind, Nico rubbed his hands and hurried forward to open the door for Cedrick.

“How’s Benny, Cedrick? Is he doing all right? I heard it has something to do with the baby formula,” said Nico, his drowsiness dispelled when he saw Cedrick’s stern face.

Instead of answering the questions, Cedrick asked, “Why are you here?”

“How can I sleep when someone’s trying to harm my cute nephew? I heard you were coming, so I came over, too.”

Cedrick looked as indifferent as ever, not the slightest bit surprised by Nico’s words. Patting the latter’s shoulder, he said, “It’s hard to say for now. Whether or not there is any biochemical virus residue left in his body can only be found by bringing him to the lab when he’s older. The challenge for now is his heart problem. Gwenny has been staying by his side all night.”

“If Gwendolyn’s keeping Benny company at the hospital, what about Zendy?”
