Chapter 508 Treyton Became Her Husband
Wooing My Ex-Wife
Gwendolyn lost herself in her memories.
The orphanage⦠My in-laws⦠Why does everything seem familiar?
Dubious, she returned to Jenniferâs side and held the latterâs hand that was not hooked up to the IV drip. âJennifer, do you still remember whatâs your family name?â
Jennifer weakly curled her lips before gazing at Gwendolyn gently. âWhatâs the matter? How can I not remember whatâs my family name? When I was taken in by the orphanage director at Fairlake, she decided to name me Jennifer, and she gave me her family name, Weller.â
At that, Gwendolyn froze and turned to Treyton.
The man was equally taken aback. He darted off the other bed and grabbed Jenniferâs hand before questioning in disbelief, âWhatâs the matter, Jennifer? Youâre not a Weller anymore. Youâre a Newton.
Youâre the daughter of the Newton family, and your name in the family tree is Elise Newton. Do you still remember that?â
Jennifer retracted her arm from his grasp and inched closer to Gwendolyn as if she was seeking solace and security.
Lowering her head, she then apologized, âMr. Wright, I know youâre here to take care of me because of Gwendolyn, and Iâm grateful for that, but youâre Gwendolynâs husband. I donât want her to misunderstand our relationship, so Mr. Wright, please keep a distance from me. Also, please donât say strange things like these anymore. I really donât understand what youâre trying to say.â
âWhat?â
Gwendolyn and Treyton shared a look, wondering about the same thing.
When did Treyton become my husband? Mr. Wright? Are her memories distorted?
A wave of complex feelings washed over Gwendolyn, and she turned to face Treyton again. âTreyton, do watch over Jennifer. Iâm going to ask Prof. Mallory to come and take a look at her.â
Right as she was about to leave, Jennifer grabbed her hand.
âGwendolyn, donât. Itâs not appropriate for me and your husband to stay in this room alone.â
Gwendolyn was bereft of words.
Treytonâs eyes reddened, and it felt as if his heart was pulverized, the pain spreading through his entire body.
âSo you knew that I was around, Jennifer, but you thought I was Kiddoâs husband. Thatâs why you were keeping a distance from me. Thatâs why you were ignoring me and giving me the cold shoulder.â
Jennifer turned to look at him in confusion, completely unaffected by the melancholic expression he bore on his countenance.
All she did was continue holding onto Gwendolynâs hand tightly to stop the latter from leaving.
There was nothing Gwendolyn could do but sigh. âHow about this, Treyton? You should get Prof.
Mallory instead. Iâll watch over Jennifer.â
Treyton Became Her Husband âOkay,â Treyton quietly answered before lowering his bloodshot eyes and turning to leave.
Once he was gone, Jennifer immediately moved closer to Gwendolyn and said with a tinge of worry in her voice. âGwendolyn, it feels like Mr. Wright is looking at me strangely all the time, but donât worry, I wonât bear any feelings for him. It must be tough for the two of you to take care of me while Iâm sick. Iâm grateful for that. Thank you, Gwendolyn.â
Gwendolyn remained silent, uncertain of how to respond.
The corners of her lips twitched, but as Joshua had yet to arrive, she guessed it would be better for her to keep Jennifer calm first. With a smile, she said, âItâs nothing. Itâs my duty.â
A few minutes later, Joshua came.
He was wearing a medical face mask, and he promptly said to Jennifer, âDonât worry. Iâm your doctor, and I have some things I need to ask you about. You just need to answer me honestly.â
Jennifer worriedly turned to Gwendolyn, but Gwendolyn smiled at her to put her at ease.
Thus, she nodded at Joshua.
Taking out her medical record, Joshua started scribbling on it as he asked, âMs. Newton, may I know if you Jennifer cut him off. âDoctor, my family name is Weller.â
âOf course, Ms. Weller,â Joshua agreed with a smile. Pointing at Gwendolyn calmly, he continued, âWho is she to you?â
âSheâs Gwendolyn, my only friend. She was taken away from the orphanage by Old Mr. Wright when she was fifteen, but weâve been keeping close contact all these years.â
âHow old is she now?â Joshua probed.
Jennifer ruminated for a while before replying. âTwenty.â
Hearing that, Gwendolyn and Treyton frowned.
Gwendolyn was already twenty-four and a mother of two.
Once Joshua recorded that, he continued querying, âThen, Ms. Weller, how old are you this year?â
âTwenty-one.â
After noting that down as well, Joshua pointed at Treyton and asked, âWhat is his name?â
Jennifer shook her head. âIâve never seen him before, and I donât know his name, but heâs the one taking care of me lately. Heâs Gwendolynâs newlywed husband.
The questions went on for almost half an hour. The more Treyton listened, the dimmer the light of hope in his eyes became.
The serum that Craig injected was far too strong. Jenniferâs mind was permanently damaged.
Her memories were trapped back in time when everyone in the orphanage disliked her because she was too old and sick. No one wanted her to leech off the orphanage, and the new director soon kicked her out.
Treyton Became Her Husband Gwendolyn was the one who took her in and tried to get enough funds for her illness.
Treyton had not appeared in her life at that time, so he was nothing but a stranger to her now.
When Joshua was done asking her the questions, he pulled Gwendolyn and Treyton out to the corridor for a private conversation.
âHer case is a little special. For now, we donât have any ways to recover her memories of the past few years. My suggestion for you is to talk about what happened the last few years with her as often as you can so that you can inform her about her personal connections.â
âOkay. Thank you,â Gwendolyn said.
Joshua gave her a small smile. âItâs nothing.â
After that, Gwendolyn remained in Jenniferâs ward and patiently explained everything to the latter.
It took her a while to make Jennifer accept that she was already twenty-five and that she had lost her memories of the past four years because of some incidents.
âJennifer, Iâm-a Harris, and Iâm the current head of the Harris family. My husband is Cedrick, and heâs the head of the Jenson family, the CEO of Jenson Group, and the boss of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.â
Then, Gwendolyn pointed at Treyton and said, âThis man is Treyton Harris. Heâs my brother and the third son of the family. Youâre a couple who have been dating for a year. Thatâs why heâs been taking care of you.â
When Jennifer heard that Treyton was her boyfriend, she discreetly glanced at Treyton from the corner of her eyes. It was only then she finally got a clear glimpse at his good looks.
Jennifer, who had lost her memories, felt like an ugly duckling who abruptly woke among swans, and one of the beautiful swans was even her boyfriend.
It felt odd.
âGwendolyn, what about me?â
âThe Newton family found you not too long ago and announced your identity as their daughter. Youâre now the fifth child of the Newton family, Jennifer Newton, but youâre also known as Elise Newton.
Youâre an actress, but you debuted on my companyâs talent show and became an idol. You even received the Best Actress Award at an award show last year, and youâre a top star in the entertainment industry.â
Jennifer was stunned, for becoming a top star was something she never dared dream of.
âOh my God⦠And this happened in a few yearsâ time? Am I that capable? Youâre not pulling my leg, are you, Gwendolyn?â
Gwendolyn caressed Jenniferâs cheek before taking out her phone to show the latter some of her old news.
It was best if Jennifer were to see it for herself, for that was the best way to convince her.
Overwhelmed by the deluge of information, Jenniferâs mind reached its capacity, and she eventually succumbed to exhaustion, drifting into a deep slumber much earlier than usual.
Treyton remained by her bedside, never once leaving her.
Treyton Became Her Husband Joshua came by again, and be informed them that Jenniferâs vital signs had all returned to normal. All they needed to do was observe her for a few more days before she could leave the lab and resume her normal life.
In the evening. Gwendolyn left the lab.
When she walked toward the open-air parking lot, a familiar tall figure approached her from the opposite direction.
Upon lifting her head, she was surprised to find out that it was not Cedrick who came to pick her Charles.
