Back in the day, Claude had got treatment from Silas, a line that Enoch would never cross-
But Eve was reluctant to let go of that sliver of hope, though she knew deep down that her younger son was unlikely to wake up.
Gwendolyn Furrowed her brows. It was the rules again.
She had no clue what had transpired in the past, and Enoch never mentioned a word of it to her.
As Gwendolyn was about to inquire further, Marina’s questioning voice echoed from the stairwell. “Ms. Hamilton, what are you doing This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Gwendolyn and Eve tumed their attention in that direction.
Selina brushed back, her cascading hair. “I just went to check out the studio. There are so many memories of Howie and me there. I
didn’t expect it to be as it was.”
Marina replied calmly. “The house has been hectic. I plan to sort it out another day.”
“Selina, that’s impolite. You’re a quest. You can’t just wander off, Eve scolded with feigned annoyance.
Selina
wrapped her arm around her cooing, “I’m sorry. I just forgot for a moment that fim a quest. I came here so often that I knew it
better than Ms. Quigley”
Then she looked up at Gwendolyn, continuing. “You don’t mind, do you, Ms. Quigley?”
“Actually, I do mind,” Gwendolyn said softly, “So, Ms. Hamilton, please don’t be so impolite next time. Howard doesn’t like others
touching his things.”
Selina’s every other word was about Howard, which grated on Gwendolyn
The comers of Selina’s mouth curled into a cold, emotionless smile.
Heavy–hearted, Eve spoke up. “Gwendolyn, we should be going. Let’s pretend I never asked anything of you today”

After Selina and Eve left, Gwendolyn received a phone call.
She responded eamestly. “Okay, I’ll be right there.”
Half an hour later, Gwendolyn hailed a cob to the hospital, heading straight for the large conference hall,
The hospital was organizing a mass meeting for a free clinic initiative, sending young doctors to rural areas to provide villagers with
free medical services
The conference room was full of young doctors and nurses from different departments. Sitting in the back, Sandra waved her over, “Gwendolyn, over here!”
Gwendolyn hurried over and sat down, asking. “Is the turnout always this big?”
Sandra murmured, “It’s for the hospital’s fiftieth–anniversary charity event. The media will cover it, too. Each department will pick two young doctors for rural service, all volunteers.”
Gwendolyn nodded in understanding.
“Gwendolyn,” Sandra grasped her wrist, “the hospital leadership is keen on you going because you’ve become quite well–known lately. But don’t agree without a second thought. This charity work is no picnic.”
“Why not?” Gwendolyn asked, puzzled
Looking like she’d been there and done that, Sandra advised, “The conditions in the countryside can be tough, the dialects hard to understand, and the cell service spotty. When it rains, it’s easy to lose contact. And some patients can be unreasonable, brash, and
crude.”

Eve clutched her chest, her voice a hoarse whisper. “Are you holding a grudge for how I treated you back then? I apologize. You can set any terms you like.”
