Guinevere brandished the knife in her hands.
Everyone around her retreated to a safe distance, daring not to approach the unhinged woman.
There was a moment when
she appeared to be in a daze. Chris seized the chance, lurched forward, and managed to grab the knif
e from her hands. He hugged her tight in his arms
and yelled, “Doctor, quick, give her another sedative!”
Mrs. Cohen‘s heart was in her throat when Chris did that, but she finally heaved a sigh of relief when sh
e saw the situation finally under control.
Due to concern for Guinevere‘s wellbeing, the doctor
had initially administered a weak dose of the sedative, not expecting Guinevere to come
around so quickly.
This time, he pumped the entire dose into her without any further thought.
Guinevere‘s eyes glazed over as she looked sorrowfully at the man before her.
Chris‘ heart ached as he looked at the condition the girl was in...
He turned to Mrs. Cohen. “Given her current condition, she might need to be hospitalized...”
Mrs. Cohen wiped away the tears on her
face. “She was clearly doing so well, but she‘s suddenly become like this … my poor
daughter!” Chris sighed.
“It‘s all my fault for
not disciplining my son. No matter how ridiculous Weston‘s actions might seem, don‘t worry. We certain
ly won‘t leave Gwen in the lurch! She‘s Zack‘s biological mother, after all.”
After all the pain and suffering the Cohen‘s were put through, Mrs. Cohen naturally bore a grudge again
st the Ford family.
However, the long night made
her so fatigued and overwhelmed that she didn‘t have the energy to pursue things further.
She wiped her tears away at Chris‘ words. “I feel better after
hearing what you said. As parents, the only thing we want is for our children to be happy.” Guinevere fin
ally calmed down after being administered a full dose of sedative.
She lay on the bed in the guest room, her face deathly pale. Tears
covered her face that used to shine and dazzle before the world.
Pain pierced through Chris‘ heart.
“I will discuss things with old Mr. Ford and make things right for her.”
Given Guinevere‘s current condition, she was unfit to
stay in Ford Mansion. Everything associated with Weston could possibly trigger her condition again.
It was impossible to keep things from Mr. Cohen now that things had regressed to such a state.
Chris
felt that Mrs. Cohen couldn‘t possibly handle everything by herself, and he decided to bring Guinevere
back to the Cohens alongside Mrs. Cohen.
Thus, he remained beside them throughout the episode,
ensuring that everything had been taken care of before he finally returned to the
Ford Mansion completely wiped of energy.
It was very late at night.
Wendy had long fallen asleep.
Being the deep sleeper she was,
hardly anything was allowed to disrupt the slumber she needed to maintain her physical appearance.
Chris used to think
that her vanity wasn‘t a big deal. Beauty was, after all, something that every woman pursued.
However, her lack of concern over something so major that happened in the house, and her
act of bringing Zack away to hide, ticked Chris off.
He felt that she had been rather selfish.
Disgust simmered in his heart as he returned to the room.
When he opened the door, he saw Wendy still awake, dressed in her sleeping gown and seated before
table, surveying her own face in the mirror.
This surprised him a bit, but he kept his face expressionless as he asked, “Not sleeping yet?”
“How can I, with that ruckus downstairs?”
Wendy looked at him through the mirror.
The look on Chris‘ face softened. “Things got rather messy today. I‘m not sure
what will happen from here on
The two began a calm chat as if the cold war they were waging against each other
had never happened.
Wendy had announced to everyone that Ella was her god daughter at Zack‘s birthday bash.
The Cohen‘s had also broken off their engagement with the Ford‘s.
They both just had a huge fight, too.
Chris just couldn‘t understand why Wendy wanted to help Ella humiliate Guinevere.
Wendy, on the other hand, felt like he was way too concerned for Guinevere.
They split up acrimoniously, with Chris slamming the door and leaving the house. He
didn‘t come home for a long while. He was now finally back, but it was mainly for the sake
of Guinevere.
