Although the hospital was filled with the smell of disinfectant, Mary was very comfortable.
At that moment, she was sneakily eating the strawberry ice cream that Gwyn had brought in. Although Gerri had repeatedly emphasized the need to be careful with her diet, she couldn't resist.
And as she continued to act cute, even the CEO Gwyn had to hide the ice cream in his suit jacket and sneak it into the ward.
As Mary remembered Gwyn's embarrassed and somewhat helpless expression, especially when she saw the water stains on his designer suit, she couldn't help but chuckle.
But when she received a call from Julie, her good mood was ruined.
"Mary, where have you been these past few days? I haven't been able to contact you and Bob. I'm so worried." Julie sounded anxious.
After Julie was knocked unconscious, she was left in the parking lot. It was only when the security guards were patrolling that they found her. However, Bob and Mary were already gone.
No matter how many times she called these two people over the past few days, she could not contact them. Julie had a vague feeling that something bad must have happened.
"Why are you looking for me?"
Julie was shocked when she heard Mary's cold voice. In the past, Mary would always be exceptionally concerned if she had anything to ask Mary.
Why was Mary so cold today? Why didn't she show any concern over Bob's disappearance?
Could it be that Mary was unhappy because Mary saw her getting close to Bob that day?
"After that day, you and Bob disappeared. I was a little worried. Didn't we agree to help you elope? Where did the two of you go after that?" Julie definitely knew that their 'elopement' had failed. She was a little careful when she spoke, afraid that she would make Mary unhappy.
However, as long as it involved Bob, Mary would definitely not sit idly by.
"Yeah, didn't you say that we were eloping? Why were you there? And I don't remember what happened after that," Mary said.
As expected, Julie thought to herself that Mary was being distant because of her closeness with Bob, and she felt relieved.
"Of course, I was there to help you. We're good friends, aren't we? But now that Bob has gone missing, do you know where he is?"
"Oh, he should have been captured by Gwyn." Mary didn't want to explain at all.
When Julie heard that Bob was taken away by Gwyn, she was even more relieved.
As long as Mary was around, Gwyn wouldn't dare to do anything to Bob, even if she threatened him.
Julie immediately said, "Then you should ask Gwyn to release Bob. He will definitely listen to you."
"Well, this is not something you should be concerned with." Without waiting for Julie to ask any more questions, Mary decisively hung up the phone.
There was no need to rush things since it had only been a few days.
She had suffered tens of thousands of times more than Bob had in the past few days. She was only collecting some interest.
Mary hung up the phone and scooped another spoonful of ice cream. Just as she put it in her mouth, she heard a voice.
"I was wondering why Gwyn had to wear a suit on such a hot day." Gerri looked at Mary, who was eating ice cream, with a teasing expression.
"Oh, this, would you believe me if I said that the previous patient who stayed in this ward had forgotten to take it with him?" Although Gerri looked gentle, Mary still felt a little guilty when facing him.
"Go ahead and eat. Gwyn has something to attend to today, so I took a leave from the hospital to personally send you back. I'll escort you."
Mary could tell that Gerri was reluctant, but Gerri was afraid of his brother. As his sister-in-law, Mary could naturally hold her head high.
So, Mary walked in front casually, while Gerri became the attendant who carried her bags.
As soon as they reached home, the two of them smelled the fragrance of food.
"Oh my god, Gwyn, have you finally developed a conscience? You know how difficult it was for me to send your wife back, so you're going to reward me, right?" As Gerri picked up a chicken drumstick, he was so frightened by Gwyn's gaze that he dared not move.
"Madam, please go wash your hands. Our young master personally prepared several dishes and we're just waiting for you to come back," Mrs. Brown said to Mary with a smile.
Mrs. Brown had watched both Mary and Gwyn grow up, and though she had disapproved of Mary's past behavior, she was now genuinely happy for her young master, seeing the positive changes in Mary.
Mary gazed at Gwyn with a smile in her eyes. Gwyn's ears turned slightly red and he coughed awkwardly.
Gerri, who was at the side, had enough of seeing Mary and Gwyn's affectionate behavior towards each other.
