Chapter 274 She Is His Savior

Sensing that she was about to punish him again, Cedrick quickly pushed against her with both hands to keep her at bay.

Having found out that his body was degenerating, however, Gwendolyn did not fear his resistance at all.

To her, he was nothing but a weak and sickly man with an attitude.

Gwendolyn effortlessly pinned his arms down once again and licked her lips with a mischievous grin.

“Oh my! Are you having trouble breaking free, Mr. Jenson? Since I have you completely at my mercy, shouldn’t you behave yourself a little bit more?” she asked in a teasing tone.

Gedrick felt really conflicted when he heard that. His ego as a man forbade him from giving in, but there was nothing he could do due to his weakened physical state.

After struggling for a bit, Cedrick snorted defiantly and turned his head aside.

The fact that there was nothing he could do about the situation left him feeling really frustrated.

Seeing as he still refused to submit, Gwendolyn grabbed him by the chin and forced him to look at her. “Seems that punishment wasn’t enough. Do you want to see some blood, Ceddy?”

Those words had barely left Gwendolyn’s mouth when she leaned forward and pretended to bite Cedrick on his swollen lips.

“No, don’t…”

Gwendolyn couldn’t bring herself to follow through with her bite when she heard him pleading for mercy. In the end, she simply gave him a gentle kiss to help relieve some of that pain.

They could feel each other’s breaths as their tongues intertwined passionately.

After kissing for what felt like forever, Gwendolyn took a moment to catch her breath before cradling his face in her hands.

“I will only say this once, so listen to me very carefully, Cedrick. I am not a woman who would date just about anyone. I have tons of ways to compensate you if guilt is all that I feel. There is no need for me to dedicate my heart and my life to someone I don’t love. Also, I am not sympathizing with you. It hurts me to see you in pain, so I want to stay by your side no matter how hard things get in the future. I want to help you

share that burden as I walk alongside you, and I will do everything I can to cure you. I’m not about to just sit by and watch you die. Oh, and I’m not as weak as you think I am, so please have some faith in me! We will surely be together for a lot more than just five months. We are going to stay together for a very long time and live a beautiful life together. Think of it as a future that I will create for you, if you will,” Gwendolyn said sternly.

Whoa… I’ve never seen Gwendolyn this serious!

Cedrick’s face was filled with shock as the two of them stared deeply into each other’s eyes.

The part where she said she would create a future for the both of them got him fantasizing about their future together.

Cedrick’s eyes teared up as he visualized a life where Gwendolyn would keep him company, shower him with affection, care about him, and take away all of his pain and sadness.

“Oh, Gwenny…” I truly am blessed to have you in my life!

He wrapped his arms around her waist and hugged her tightly as he embraced the warmth of her body.

Gwendolyn gently patted him on the back and ran her hand through his hair to comfort him.

The golden rays of the evening sun filled the conference room with a warm glow as it shone upon them.

That beautiful moment was interrupted when Cedrick let out a soft groan. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Thanks to Gwendolyn’s sharp sense of hearing, she picked up on it immediately. She noticed something wasn’t right when she felt his back muscles tense up and his hands tremble.

She quickly let go of Cedrick and touched his forehead as she asked, “What’s wrong?”

He’s not burning up with a fever, but his face has gone pale, and he’s trembling uncontrollably…

“I–I’m fine…” Cedrick replied in a very weak voice.

Gwendolyn knew him all too well. She could clearly tell that he was doing his best to suppress the pain and act tough. While he would usually try to gain her sympathy by pretending to be in pain, she knew he

her. would endure it in silence whenever he was truly in pain so that he would not worry

The more Cedrick tried to act tough, the more it hurt Gwendolyn on the inside.

“Is your angina acting up again? Where’s your medicine? Did you bring it with you?” she asked when she noticed him clutching his chest.

Cedrick’s face was drenched in cold sweat as he shook his head.

Gwendolyn immediately ran out of the conference room and called out to Nico, who happened to be standing nearby, “Where’s his medicine to help relieve his angina?”

“It should be in his office.”

“Go get it! Hurry!”

“On it!”

Nico realized something was wrong when he saw the anxious look on her face. He then rushed upstairs as quickly as his legs could carry him.

Gwendolyn was about to return to Cedrick’s side when she heard a loud thud behind her. Upon turning around, she saw that Cedrick had fallen from his chair and was curled up in a ball on the ground.

His body was trembling uncontrollably, and the veins in his neck werè bulging underneath the skin.

“Ceddy!”

Gwendolyn rushed to his side, knelt on the ground, and carefully held him in her arms. She even tried massaging his chest in an attempt to help relieve some of his pain.

It wasn’t long before Nico returned with his medication. However, Cedrick’s condition did not improve

significantly even after he swallowed the pill.

It would take some time for the medication to take effect. Until then, all Cedrick could do was endure the pain while lying in Gwendolyn’s embrace.

Gwendolyn felt as though her heart was being pierced with a knife when she saw him in pain.

It was also the first time Nico had seen Cedrick in so much pain. He kept pacing about anxiously while wishing he could help share some of that pain.

Unable to stand it anymore, Gwendolyn rolled her sleeve up and held her slender arm next to Cedrick’s mouth.

“Stop fighting it, Ceddy! Just bite my arm if it hurts! We’ll suffer this pain together!”

Cedrick pursed his lips tightly as he couldn’t bring himself to do so. Instead, he grabbed her hand tightly and interlocked his fingers with hers.

Nico knelt down beside him and held his arm out as well. “You can bite my arm instead, Mr. Jenson. Ms. Harris‘ arm is skinny and delicate, but mine is tough and muscular. I’m not afraid of pain!”

Cedrick shook his head and buried his face in Gwendolyn’s chest.

Gwendolyn let out a helpless sigh when she saw how stubborn he was.

Just how much longer does he have to suffer?

After taking a moment to calm herself down, she looked at Nico and asked, “He’s in a lot of pain while waiting for the pill to take effect. Could we inject him with a painkiller or something?”

“I don’t know. This is the first time I’ve seen Mr. Jenson suffer like this.”

Since Nico couldn’t provide her with an answer, Gwendolyn decided to take matters into her own hands.

“You carry him! We’re heading to the laboratory right away!”

They arrived at the laboratory about fifteen minutes later.

Cedrick’s breathing slowly stabilized after being injected with a painkiller, and he soon fell asleep from the exhaustion.

Gwendolyn helped massage his forehead while sitting next to him.

Joshua then came in and handed her all the data they had gathered on Cedrick/

“Try to keep his emotions under control. Huge fluctuations in his emotional state will trigger his angina, and he will need to spend a huge amount of energy just to endure the pain. That will leave him weak, which will help the virus spread through his body even faster. On top of that, painkillers have side effects. as well. Giving him painkillers every time will worsen the damage done to his body.”

P

Gwendolyn nodded and read through the lab reports while listening to his explanation.

It pained her deeply when she saw the data that was printed in red.

Gwendolyn took a deep breath and tried to suppress her guilt as she asked, “Is there really nothing we can do about this virus? I know we can’t cure him completely just yet, but what about prolonging his life?”

Joshua shook his head. Since Cedrick was still unconscious, he decided to be honest with Gwendolyn about it. “I didn’t tell Cedrick the truth because I feared he wouldn’t be able to accept it, but…”
