Chapter 536 Unusual Condition

Cedrick’s lips curled as he watched Charles’ frustrated expression.

“It looks like you have no intention of thanking me. You only desire Gwenny’s present,” he remarked.

Charles forced a smile, his expression masking his true feelings. “Oh, no, Mr. Jenson. Thank you very
much! You seem to understand me perfectly. I had my eye on this watch for a while, but you beat me to
it. Luckily, it still ended up in my possession in the end.”

Cedrick furrowed his brows. “That’s great. Try it on. Let’s see if it fits you.”

As Gwendolyn sweetly coaxed little Zendaya, she cast a quick glance at both men.

She couldn’t help but find their rivalry amusing.

It had been a while since they had engaged in such competition, and she had no intention of
intervening. Gathering the children, she made her way to the baby room on the fourth floor,
accompanied by Zoey and Summer, leaving the living room to the three men.

As soon as Gwendolyn was out of sight, the smile on Cedrick’s and Charles’ faces vanished. They
instinctively turned their backs to each other, each immersing themselves in their own tasks. Cedrick
headed to the kitchen to prepare a meal while Charles took charge of tidying up the messy luggage on
the floor.

Left alone in the living room, Nico stood there with a puzzled expression on his face. He scratched his
head, trying to make sense of the sudden shift in the atmosphere.

Everything seemed so relaxed just a moment ago. Why did it become tense suddenly?

Caught in a dilemma, Nico weighed his options between assisting in the kitchen or joining Charles in
packing up the luggage. After a brief moment of contemplation, he chose to lend a hand to Charles, not



wanting to risk being seen as a nuisance by Cedrick for being unable to help in the kitchen.

The first meal they had after coming back home was a family dinner. It was a pleasant affair.

As a result of her injury, Gwendolyn delegated numerous projects and contract signings with Dovil
Group to her capable subordinates. Taking the time to recuperate at home, she focused on her
recovery while spending time with her children.

As usual, Cedrick juggled his time between Jenson Group and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Gradually, everyone’s lives began to regain a sense of normalcy.

By the third day, the wound on Gwendolyn’s arm had been bandaged for over a week. When changing
the dressing this time, they noticed the wound had begun to scab over.

The wound on the back of her head had also healed considerably as it only bled a little. The swelling
had subsided, and Gwendolyn was well on her way to a full recovery.

Thus, she returned to Harris Group and jumped back on board with the projects and collaborations
involving Dovil Group.

She discreetly assigned her team to gather more information about Paul’s Antea Group, particularly
focusing on Annie’s current role and the projects she was overseeing.

Her goal was to meddle in their affairs and fight for every project they were involved in.

After spending the morning in her office, Gwendolyn gradually lost her concentration and felt a growing
sense of fatigue. She found it increasingly difficult to stay focused on her tasks.

Perhaps it was due to the lingering effects of her concussion, as she was still in the process of
recovering from it.



Pushing her mouse aside, she shut her eyes and massaged her temples.

Suddenly, Gwendolyn felt a nerve in her brain tensing up, causing waves of pain to ripple through her
head.

That’s strange.

She instinctively massaged the back of her head, feeling a strange sense of irritation. Reaching for the
landline, she summoned her assistant and spoke in a weary tone. “I’m feeling a bit tired, so I’ll be
resting in the room within my office. Unless it’s something urgent, please ensure that no one disturbs
me.”

“Got it, Ms. Harris,” the assistant replied and left her office.

As Gwendolyn continued massaging her head, she headed into the room to rest.

Back in the CEO’s office of Jenson Group, Cedrick found himself staring absentmindedly at the
scenery outside. Last night, he had mentioned the dress he bought in Astoria to Gwendolyn, and she
had agreed to try it on tonight.

The anticipation of spending a wonderful and unforgettable night with her filled his thoughts, bringing a
smile to his face.

Feeling dizzy with excitement, he couldn’t wait to get off work.

As the sun began to dip below the horizon, he stole a glance at his watch. It was finally time to wrap up
his work.

He pulled out his phone to call Gwendolyn, intending to pick her up from work.

The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered it.



Curious, he clicked on WhatsApp and sent her a few text messages.

A few minutes later, she still hadn’t seen his messages.

If Gwendolyn were in a meeting, she would’ve rejected his call instead of letting her phone ring.
Suspicion rose in his heart as he called Gwendolyn’s assistant, who he had bribed previously.

When the call connected, he asked, “Where is Gwenny?

“Ms. Harris is resting in her office. She left instructions that no one is to disturb her.”

Cedrick asked worriedly, “Is she feeling unwell?”

“According to Ms. Harris, she mentioned feeling tired. However, when I entered her office, she
appeared to be in a normal state. I didn’t notice any signs of illness,” the assistant reported.

“Okay, then.”

After the call ended. Cedrick packed up his stuff and took the elevator downstairs. He drove his car to
Harris Group.

The sky was already dark by the time he arrived.

As the husband of Harris Group’s CEO, he was allowed entry and successfully made his way to the
CEO’s office on the top floor

The assistant gave him a polite bow and gestured for him to enter Gwendolyn’s office.

Ms. Harris told me to keep everyone out. “Everyone” should refer to her employees and collaboration
partners, but not

Mr. Jenson.



That was what the assistant thought.

After Cedrick entered the office, the assistant knew it was best not to intrude and disturb their alone
time. She quickly cleared her table and prepared to leave for the day, respecting their privacy.

Cedrick tiptoed into the office and switched on the light, but it was empty.

“Gwenny?” he called out carefully.

The door to the room inside the office was ajar, but the lights were switched off. Seeing that, he made
his way there.

As he pushed open the door, he was greeted by a shocking sight.

Decorative items were strewn across the floor, creating a cluttered mess, while books were scattered
about with torn pages.

Shock crossed his face as he stepped into the room.

“Darling?”

A figure was crouching on the ground nearby, furiously tearing books apart.

This was the first time Cedrick had ever seen Gwendolyn acting this way. He quickly hurried over to
check on her.

“What’s wrong? Are you feeling overwhelmed with work and need to let it out? Gwenny, please talk to
me,” he pleaded.

Getting down on one knee, he cupped Gwendolyn’s cheeks and forced her to look up. To his
astonishment, her eyes were bloodshot, and she looked positively irritated.



As their gazes locked, Gwendolyn’s lips curved into an eerie smile, while a malevolent gleam sparkled
in her eyes.

Cedrick was engrossed in assessing whether she had harmed herself while venting her anger and
failed to notice the danger lurking within her. “Let’s go to the lab,” he suggested.

He was about to pick her up when she delivered a stinging slap to his cheek.

Slap!

Her palm connected with his left cheek.

Cedrick’s head jerked to the side from the force of the slap as a searing sensation spread across his
cheek.

It took him a while to regain his senses.

Gwendolyn had just slapped him.

After they reconciled, Gwendolyn never resorted to slapping him. At most, she would playfully give him
a light pinch.

Curious, he turned around to see Gwendolyn’s gaze filled with excitement,

He was still in a daze when Gwendolyn raised her right hand to give him another forceful slap.

He didn’t evade her slap and let it land on his cheek. The impact caused his teeth to cut into the soft
tissue of his mouth, resulting in a trickle of blood from the corner of his lips.

After getting slapped twice by Gwendolyn, he had to reassess her condition.

Gwendolyn’s eyes were filled with frenzy as she raised her arm, prepared to launch another attack.



“I’m sorry.”

Finally, Cedrick took action to stop her. He grabbed her wrist and struck the back of her head.

Following the impact, Gwendolyn collapsed weakly, losing consciousness, and Cedrick quickly caught
her in his arms.

Cedrick stood up and immediately ran to the garage to head to the lab.

The chaotic state of the room and the two unexpected slaps raised concerns about Gwendolyn’s
condition. Something was clearly amiss.
