Having lost her mind, Jennifer struggled madly against his embrace and, as if having lost her temper, bit hm on the netk Treyton grimaced. He held his breath.

Though it hurt, it was nothing compared to the pain in his heart.

Without moving, he swallowed the pain and allowed her to vent her madness onto him.

Having hurried up the stairs, Gwendolyn, Cedrick, and Nico found themselves witnessing the harrowing spectacle.

“Go to the Jenson family medical corps, Nico,” Gwendolyn ordered calmly. “We need some tranquilizers. Hubby, pull Jennifer away and restrain her.”

“Yes, Gwendolyn.” Nico turned around and hurried off.

Gwendolyn remained with Cedrick, trying to pull Jennifer, in her maddened frenzy, away.

“It’s all right. Don’t hurt her. This is what I deserve,” Treyton said with great effort as he endured the searing pain coming from his neck.

Standing by the bed, Cedrick watched helplessly as Treyton was getting bitten.

In the meantime, Gwendolyn helped Summer up from the ground.

The atmosphere in the room was unusual. All of them were staring, transfixed, at the seemingly warm but gory scene with similarly solemn expressions.

Nico was swift. In ten minutes, he returned with a box of tranquilizers.

Just as he was about to administer the tranquilizers, Treyton extended a trembling hand. “Let me,” he said, his face pale.

Nico handed it to him.

He was gentle and precise. Jabbing her in the arm, he quickly and decisively administered the drug.

However, being dosed with an entire syringe full did not seem to help Jennifer’s condition.

On the contrary, her eyes remained bloodshot with bulging veins, like an unhinged demon.

Helplessly, Nico handed Tveyton another syringe Only sher syringes tid Jennifer dowly begins in steken her low. Exhausted, die prakty Tveyton plsced her in the fud woh a tender gaze in heves. The teeth marks and outers on his neck were red and bloody Gwendolyn examined his injury and, to her relief delivered that has arteries were unharmed How’re you feeling.

Gwendolyn turned around to regand Nico “Go to the Jenson family medical corps, find me their best psychologist, and ask them to spend a few days here to care for Jennifer alongside Treyton”

Nico nodded “Right away”

As soon as Niro left, Cedrick went down the stairs and returned with the first-aid kit from the basement With well-practiced movements, he treated Treyton’s wound.

The latter did not move He kept his gaze fixed on Jennifer.

If it were possible, he would not want to be treated so he could endure some measure of pain alongside Jennifer.

At this juncture. I would only give Gwendolyn and Cedrick more trouble if I were to collapse. They would have an even harder time caring for Jennifer then.

Standing closely by, Gwendolyn watched silently as Cedrick treated Treyton’s wound.

Jennifer’s condition must be complicated. The deranged way in which she hurt herself is bizarre. Craig must have administered her with something. I need to get to the bottom of this.

“No doctor is better than Kieran in the Jenson family’s medical corps. Should we ask him for help instead?”

Treyton gave it a thought. “Don’t bother. He hasn’t even worked out how he’s going to court his future wife. Let him focus on the matter at hand.”

Gwendolyn nodded, then turned to Cedrick. “I suspect Craig had administered some illegal substance into Jennifer, Hubby,” she said seriously. “Prof. Joshua Mallory is learned in serums. Would he be able to detect anything if we brought Jennifer to his lab?”

Cedrick mulled it over. “We can give it a try tomorrow. However, Jennifer’s condition is presently unstable, seeing as she would fly into a rampage when she wakes up. I will have somebody in the lab.

examine the serum.”

As his brother, Charles had used his position to steal the S404 RNA virus. It was unlikely they would not get the same idea.

Gwendolyn nodded. At that juncture, her only option was to try anything that might lead to at breakthrough.

All of them were occupied with their own problems during dinner. Treyton did not come downstairs, opting instead to remain by Jennifer’s side. Thanks to the tranquilizers, she was sleeping soundly in the guest room.

Gwendolyn grew angrier the more she thought about what Jennifer went through Though set have riot found Craig’s weak spot, you’re still his bose. Is there any way you can punish buns in avenge Jennifer and Treyton?” she asked Crick Cedrick thought alant it for a while. “None of your acaddy with this matter concerning Craig Leave him to me?

“All right” Gwendolyn was comfortabl. with leaving into him. The only thing she asked for was that he punished Craig severely.

After their meal. Nico and Summer left Harrick Villa back to their own.

In the meantime, Gwendolyn headed up to the nursery on the fourth floor to check on the children with Zoey Nico had returned with a doctor, Brian Miller, over from the Jenson family medical corps. Alongside Treyton, he was examining Jennifer in the guest room.

Cedrick returned to the bedroom and opened his work computer to take care of some business in Jenson Group.

All of them were busy with their respective tasks during that lonely night.

Gwendolyn spent two hours with the babies until they and Zoey fell asleep before returning to her bedroom while massaging her sore neck.

Noticing her tiredness, Cedrick set aside his laptop and got out of bed to pull her into his arms.

Gwendolyn was feeling exhausted after the hectic day.

Sitting on the side of the bed, Cedrick placed her on his lap and flipped her over with well-practiced.

movements. Then, with his strong, sinewy hands, he massaged her shoulders deftly.

As Gwendolyn was constantly fatigued during her pregnancy, he had sought the tutelage of a massaging expert and, thus, learned how to put her at ease.

Under his eager hands, Gwendolyn fell asleep.

Noticing that she was drifting off, Cedrick stopped, flipped her back around, and held her in his arms.

“My hands are sore from massaging you, Gwenny. I made you comfortable, didn’t I? Could you do the same for me?” he whispered, his voice sounding attractively husky.

Burrowing her head into his chest, she muttered sleepily, “I can’t tonight. I’m so tired. Besides, I’m not in the mood as they are so many things left undone.”

Cedrick grimaced morosely. “Think about them tomorrow, Gwenny. At least nothing has happened between us. You shouldn’t allow these to interfere with our private life.”

“That doesn’t help. I’m too tired to get into it now.”

Undeterred, Cedrick pulled her up to bed and held her down firmly. His beady eyes glimmered. “Don’t worry. I’ll do the work. Just lay back and let me make you comfortable.”

She shut her eyes and obeyed him through his daze until a slight rustling on his part woke her up completely.

“Cedrick!”

His lips pressed onto hers, stifling the words at the edge of her lips.

The atmosphere in the bedroom was sweet. He had turned into the sly wolf in his conquest and lapped her up.
