"It's too late. Even if you call Rowdy to defend yourself, he won't believe you," Wesley said in an annoying calm but determined tone.

However, it sounded like he was in a good mood.

Maybe it was because Yuna was safe for the time being.

Auston had to admit that he was happy for Wesley, but at the same time, he really felt indignant!

He helped Yuna at the expense of his sexual preference!

He thought that he could have witnessed a good show, but in reality, he was taunted.

Fuck!

Auston said in a huff, "Wesley, if I help you again, I'll call myself an ass!"

Wesley responded, after a moment's silence, "I owe you a big favor this time."

In other words, he would try not to bother Auston in the future.

Not expecting Wesley to be so sincere, Auston suddenly fell into silence.

In his impression, Wesley had never once asked anyone for help in the many years he had known him. It was the first time he had heard Wesley speak in such a tone.

Wesley changed because of Yuna.

Although Auston didn't discover Yuna's charm yet, he knew she was very important to Wesley-as important as the man's life.

Auston finally calmed down, but he wasn't willing to admit that he was moved. He snorted proudly and said, "For the sake of your lifelong happiness, I'll let this go!"

"Auston," Wesley said, "Thank you."

He was serious. There emerged a hint of heartfelt gratitude in his dark eyes.

Auston's anger immediately subsided, but he couldn't help but sigh, "What a tragedy! Oh, no, no. What a demon!"

He was referring to Yuna.

Among the billions of women in the world, only Yuna could make Wesley be so obsessed with her and lose himself-

What else could she be if she was not a demon?

Wesley didn't contradict Auston. Instead, he gave him a meaningful look and said, "You will understand when you fall in love with someone."

Imagining himself, the handsome guy, trapped in love, Auston felt a chill run down his spine. He cursed and said, "Can I really change my preference and love a man? Mm... I think you're pretty good!"

"Get out!" Wesley spat out these two words indifferently at Auston.

"No problem!"

Auston obediently left the room.

Soon, Wesley received a text message from Kim, which read -

"All done!"

Wesley read the message several times. He breathed a sigh of relief and then deleted it.

He had known that Kim could complete the missions outstandingly.

This morning, Brian suddenly called to tell him about the plan today-

According to Brian, the doctor from Switzerland would be injected with a virus before he left his country.

The virus was not fatal, but after twelve hours, it would be infectious, which would disrupt the rhythm of people's lives.

When the doctor got off the plane, it was exactly the 12th hour after the virus entered his body. The workers of the Bureau of Epidemic Prevention would take him away. At this time, the virus would just be starting to take effect in the doctor's body but would not infect others yet.

The timing was just perfect.

The virus would be have to undergo some tests so that the Bureau of Epidemic Prevention could put the doctor into quarantine, therefore preventing him from getting in touch with others, including Yuna.

In the end, Brian said that this was all he could do, and Wesley should take care of the rest by himself.

Wesley immediately contacted Kim without wasting a minute and gave him two missions.

The first was to guide Rowdy's subordinates to discover that it was Auston who stopped the doctor from entering.

To put it straight, let Auston take the blame.

Auston seemed to be irresponsible, but when it came to real business, he was as ruthless as them. He had the ability to stop the doctors from crossing the border.

As long as Rowdy believed that Auston was the chief culprit, things would be much easier.

The second mission that Wesley gave to Kim was to lead Rowdy to take Yuna to the local hospitals.

They couldn't control the doctors invited by Rowdy from abroad, but they could make domestic doctors cooperate with them. If Rowdy sent Yuna to the local hospitals, they would have accomplished half their initiative.

The "All done" message from Kim clearly meant that Rowdy had begun to contact local hospitals for Yuna.

As long as they followed Rowdy, they could find out which hospital he chose and therefore help Yuna conceal the fact that her child was still alive.

In this way, Yuna would be safe as long as she didn't expose herself.

Wesley put his mobile phone back on the table and pressed the talk key on the landline phone and said, "You can come in."

Noah walked in first, with confusion all over his handsome face. "The crazy and childish guy was Auston?" he asked.

"Yes," Wesley replied. "Is that strange?"

"The Auston I heard about was not like this." The more Noah thought about it, the more puzzled he was. "I can't see how he earned the reputation of someone not to be trifled with."

"You want to know his strength?" Wesley said with an evil smile. "Go piss him off and he'll show you."

"Huh!" Noah laughed disdainfully, "Trying to trick me? No way!"

Auston had established a close friendship with Wesley, and that's why he acted so casually in Wesley's presence.

However, once he was angered, he would, as the rumor said, become ruthless and cruel. He would not bat an eyelid even if he had others' blood on his hands.

Noah wanted to save more people's lives. He would not want his life to end in Auston's hands.

After a while, Henry came in, too. The three of them continued to discuss Gavin's condition, evaluating the risk of the surgery and confirming the operation time.

They worked until about three o'clock in the afternoon.

After Henry and Noah left the suite, Wesley entered the ward and saw both Gavin and Wendy.

Wendy was helping to trim Gavin's nails.

Though Wendy wore an air of innocence, she, as a doctor, was still a serious and meticulous person, which was reflected at this moment. Looking at her profile, she was particularly charming when she was being so careful.

When Wesley was wondering if he should go in, Wendy noticed him and smiled at him. "Have you finished your discussion with Dr. Sanchez?" she asked.

"Yes." After a moment of pause, Wesley continued, "Wendy, we'll arrange the surgery for Gavin."

Gavin was as unfortunate as Yuna. The success rates of their surgeries were extremely low. Once they accepted the operation, they needed to bear great risks.

Wendy knew that Gavin must have this surgery. But her fear could not be lessened by this destined arrangement.

The surgery, like Death, scared her so much.

But the day finally came.

Wendy's eyes widened slightly and she looked at Wesley in a daze without saying a word. Subconsciously, she clutched Gavin's hand tightly.

Feeling Wendy's fear, Gavin put his other hand on hers and said, "Go chat with Hazel. I have something to tell Wesley."

Unwilling to leave, Wendy did not agree.

Gavin touched her head and coaxed her softly, "Go, my good girl."

Though his voice was no longer as strong as before, it was still magnetic. Coupled with his pale complexion, he was still enchanting.

Wendy nodded with her lips pursed and left the ward.

Not until the door was closed did Gavin sit up and ask, "What did Henry and Noah say about my surgery? Can the risk be reduced?"

"They have no way to do it," Wesley answered after a pause.

Gavin seemed to have anticipated this answer. He smiled without much surprise and said, "I see."

"What do you want to say to me?" Wesley asked in a serious tone.

"I just need to think about what I haven't arranged," Gavin said, closing his eyes.

Once he entered the operating room, he was unable to control his life.

He needed to make preparations for the worst and settle everything before the operation.

He had transferred all his properties to Wendy and planned all other things.

Seemingly, he had nothing to worry about.

Wendy was the very person he was concerned about.

He could not imagine how Wendy would live with the pain if he didn't come through this surgery.

Fortunately, Chris and Joanne as well as Wesley and Freya would take care of Wendy and would make sure she did not commit suicide no matter how sad she was.

In this case, he did not need to worry about anything.

Wesley knew what Gavin's worst fears were. He promised, "We will take care of Wendy. You just go ahead with the operation. When you recover, we will give her back to you."

Gavin smiled without responding. After a short while, he asked, "How's Yuna now?"

"Rowdy has given up looking for doctors from abroad and is checking out the local hospitals," Wesley answered. "Brian and I will continue to help Yuna keep her secret. She's safe now."

Gavin raised his eyebrow in confusion, asking, "Won't you bring her back?"

"Brian and I have arranged too many coincidences to help her conceal the fact that the child is still alive," Wesley said. "Unless we are 100 percent sure, we won't do anything rash."

Gavin understood Wesley's concern-

Rowdy was a born skeptic who would definitely suspect Yuna if anything more happened after so many coincidences.

Once the secret about the child was leaked out, she would surely die.

For Wesley, there was nothing more important than Yuna's safety.

Similarly, for Wendy, the success of Gavin's surgery came before anything.

Gavin suddenly realized that the world was filled with a myriad of pains and everyone bore different ones.

He needed to wade through the swamp to reach the shore, and not until that time could he bask in the sunshine, hear the twittering of birds and smell the fragrance of flowers.
