"Silly girl," Joanne smiled, "I promised to help you."

Wendy also laughed. She didn't say anything, but she sounded like she was crying.

At this time, Brian came back from the study.

Joanne looked at Brian and said to Wendy on the other side of the phone, "That's it for now. I'll contact you after discussing the specific details with Freya."

"Mm!" Wendy paused and suddenly laughed. Her voice sounded meaningful. "Is my cousin-in-law back?"

"..." This little girl!

Joanne decisively hung up on Wendy.

Brian had already walked to the bedside and looked at Joanne. "Wendy's call?"

"Yes." Joanne nodded and her expression became a little complicated. "Wendy still wants to go ahead with the wedding plans."

Brian looked at Joanne for a moment and asked, "Don't you want Wendy and Gavin to get married?"

"How could it be?" Joanne seemed to have thought it through. Her expression slowly relaxed, and a smile appeared on her lips. "I just think that Wendy is much braver than me."

Brian leaned back against the headboard and looked at Joanne calmly. "Why do you think so?"

Joanne snuggled into Brian's arms and whispered, "After graduation, I knew that you were in Arlington and I could even see your company from the place where I lived... but I didn't even dare to meet you."

Wendy was her total opposite. In this case, Wendy could still resolutely say that she was going to marry Gavin.

Joanne felt ashamed of herself.

Brian had already noticed something else-

He looked at Joanne thoughtfully. "You could see Lambert Group from your previous apartment?"

Only then did Joanne realize what she had inadvertently let slip out. She silently let go of Brian and looked away, wanting to run away.

However, how could Brian give her a chance?

Brian turned over and pressed Joanne down. He looked at her intently and said, "Joanne, answer me."

Joanne's cheeks blushed a bright red, and she could only avoid Brian's eyes. "There's, there's nothing to say..."

"Joanne." Brian's voice sank, and then there was a kind of charm. "I heard it very clearly just now. Are you really not going to tell me?"

Joanne closed her eyes and went all out. "Yes, I could see Lambert Group from my previous apartment!"

Brian smirked and said in a happy voice, "Did you peep at me every day?"

Joanne's expression became gloomy and aggrieved. "There's a river between us. It's too far. I couldn't see..."

Brian burst into laughter and lowered his head to kiss Joanne's lips. He looked at her and said, "Now that we're so close, can you see me?"

His eyes were already deep-set, and at this moment, there was a touch of affection in them. They looked so charming that people could almost drown in them.

Feeling embarrassed, Joanne was stunned again and couldn't react for a long time.

Brian was not in a hurry. He just looked at Joanne and patiently waited for her answer.

He thought that Joanne would never know that when she was mesmerized by him, she was more enticing than anything in the world, and he just wanted to... eat her bit by bit.

After a long time, Joanne came to her senses. As soon as she opened her mouth, before she could speak, Brian's lips landed on hers and sucked on her lips.

Joanne felt that Brian's kiss was like a whirlpool, which was created by Brian. She had no choice but to sink with Brian.

However, as long as Brian was with her, she was willing.

On this matter, even if they had done it many times, Joanne was still a little nervous.

Only this time, she seemed to be ready to risk everything. She was very relaxed and even cooperated with Brian's every movement.

More and more of her secrets were revealed, so there was nothing for her to be embarrassed about.

Brian loved the way Joanne reacted so much that his movements became more and more gentle, and Joanne almost melted into a pool of water under his body.

The night promised to be romantic and endless.

On the other side of the city, Yuna, who was in the old house of the Kent family, was much calmer.

Since she was forced to tell Rowdy about her illness, she knew that Rowdy would definitely find a doctor for her. Everything she had hidden would be unveiled little by little in front of Rowdy.

At that time, what she needed to face was a great life-and-death crisis.

But now, she had solved the crisis without any effort.

She did not believe that it was luck. She was more willing to believe that this was a premeditated arrangement.

As for whether Wesley was behind it or not, she would find evidence to confirm it.

"Auntie Yuna." Emily pushed the door open and ran in. He jumped onto the bed and said, "I've finished drinking my milk!"

In fact, Emily didn't like to drink milk, but because of Yuna's request, he still obediently had a glass of milk every morning and night.

Yuna's reason was very simple-one could grow faster if one drank milk.

Her reason happened to conform to Emily's long-time desire-Emily hoped that he could grow up quickly and be capable of protecting Yuna.

Because of this, the little kid drank his milk enthusiastically.

Yuna couldn't tell Emily that now, no one could protect her.

If she wanted to live well, she could only rely on herself to overcome all obstacles and difficulties.

Seeing Yuna lost in thought, Emily shook her leg and asked, "Auntie Yuna, why aren't you listening to me?"

"I heard you." Yuna smiled and got out of bed with the little fellow. "Let's go brush your teeth."

After entering the bathroom, Yuna took the little fellow's toothbrush, helped him squeeze out the toothpaste, and then squatted down. "Open your mouth."

Emily opened his mouth obediently. "Ah-"

He could brush his teeth by himself, but when Yuna was there, he liked to rely on her.

Yuna was also willing to do these trivial and heart-warming things for the little fellow. She turned on the electric toothbrush, cleaned the little fellow's teeth with a buzz, and finally took him back to the room.

After lying down, Emily suddenly hugged Yuna.

Yuna was stunned and touched the little guy's head. "What's wrong?"

The little fellow shook his head. "Nothing. I want to sleep with you in my arms."

Although Emily was young, he had never done anything without reason.

Now, he obviously didn't want to tell her the truth.

Yuna didn't force Emily. She smiled and patted him on the back to coax him to sleep.

After all, Emily was a child. No matter how troublesome his worries were, he still fell asleep soon.

Yuna also closed her eyes and fell asleep with the little fellow.

A few hours later, the morning sun covered the darkness of yesterday and a new day arrived.

When Yuna took Emily downstairs, Rowdy had just returned home.

Yuna was not surprised. When Rowdy was busy, he often didn't come back at night, so she had said that even if he lived with Emily, he couldn't take care of Emily.

"Good morning, Daddy!" After waking up, Emily felt refreshed and energetic. His young voice was full of vitality. "Why did you come back only now?"

Rowdy was in a good mood. He picked Emily up and said, "I've been helping Auntie Yuna find a doctor."

"Wow!" Emily's eyes lit up instantly. "Have you found one?"

"Of course." Rowdy said, "After breakfast, we can take Aunt Yuna to the hospital right away."

"Okay!" Emily clapped his hands happily. "In this way, Auntie Yuna can get better!"

"You're right!" Rowdy agreed with Emily enthusiastically and then looked at Yuna. "Yuna, what do you think?"

Yuna didn't want to go to the hospital right away.

If she guessed right and Wesley already knew everything she had hidden, then Wesley should help her deal with her treatment as well.

No matter which hospital Rowdy took her to, Wesley needed time to arrange everything in the hospital in order to avoid her secret being exposed.

She needed to buy time for Wesley.

Yuna shook her head and said, "I don't want to go today."

Before Rowdy could speak, Emily had slipped down from his arms. He ran to Yuna and looked at her in confusion. "Auntie Yuna, why don't you want to see a doctor?"

Yuna tried her best to give a simple explaination that Emily could understand. "I feel much better. I don't want to go for the time being. When I feel uncomfortable, I will go, okay?"

Emily pursed his lips. "I hope you can go now."

"I don't feel uncomfortable now. Even if I go to the hospital, the doctor can't treat me." Yuna tried her best to persuade the little fellow. "I want to stay at home with you. Can I go there in a few days?"

Emily lowered his head and thought for a moment. He didn't continue to press Yuna. He said reluctantly, "Well, you can ask Daddy about it again."

Rowdy was as confused as Emily. He frowned and looked at Yuna. "Do you really just want to stay at home to accompany Emily?"

Yuna motioned for Rowdy to go out.

Persuading Emily was not of much use to her. In the end, she still needed to convince Rowdy.

In the yard, Yuna said, "Whether I go to the hospital or not, the answer will be disappointing. I don't want to face a disappointing answer so soon."

"Yuna, you promised me that you would cooperate on the treatment." Rowdy's face darkened a little. "You can't break your promise."

"Don't worry. I know I'm sick. It's a matter of course for me to receive treatment. I won't go back on my word." After a pause, Yuna asked, "But can I postpone it by one day?"

Rowdy looked closely at her and found that there was fear in Yuna's eyes.

He suddenly understood that it was not that Yuna didn't want to see a doctor, but that she was afraid to hear the diagnosis that would be a death knell to her.

He remembered Yuna from a few years ago.

At that time, Yuna was still young, but there was fearlessness in her eyes as if she could carry anything that weighed on her shoulders with a smile.

This was the first time he had seen fear in Yuna's eyes.

Death probably was a real threat to Yuna.

Rowdy's heart softened almost instantly. He held Yuna in his arms and said softly, "Okay, let's go to the hospital in a few days."

"Okay." Yuna grabbed Rowdy's clothes. She seemed to be touched, but in fact, her eyes were calm.

She no longer cared about the truth and lies.

Now, she just wanted to achieve her goal.
