Joanne could totally understand why Wesley chose Yuna.

Just as Brian had said, Yuna was unique in the world.

If he gave up on Yuna, even if the child could be born without a hitch, Wesley would owe Yuna forever, and he would only immerse himself in pain and blame himself for the rest of his life.

However, if he chose Yuna and Yuna could recover, there would be infinite possibilities for Wesley's future.

Also, they could have another child.

Joanne believed that the people around Wesley, like her, completely understood and respected Wesley's choice.

However, their understanding and respect was of no use.

Because Wesley could not forgive himself for abandoning his child.

After he gave up the child, even if Yuna could recover, it would not be a perfect ending.

The child who could not come to this world would become the eternal regret for Wesley and Yuna.

This episode would leave a scar that would forever be imprinted on the hearts of Wesley and Yuna.

Fate posed a question, where there was a trap, to Wesley. Even if Wesley made a choice and had to endure the piercing pain, at the last moment, fate would cruelly push him into a whirlpool.

The moment when Wesley decided to give up the child, he had already shackled himself.

That shackle would pull Wesley into the whirlpool from time to time, so that Wesley would never be able to get rid of it for the rest of his life.

Joanne could imagine what kind of torture Wesley would suffer, and she could also guess that for a long time to come, Wesley could only grope his way through in the dark.

It was not until Yuna recovered that Wesley would see the sunlight again.

Yes!

As long as Yuna recovered, Wesley would also be in a better mood!

Joanne seemed to be suddenly enlightened and smiled. She snuggled into Brian's arms and said confidently, "Everything will be fine."

According to Brian's understanding of Joanne, she would not say something like that for no reason.

"Why do you say that?"

Brian looked at Joanne leisurely, waiting for her next words.

Joanne remained calm and said slowly, "Since Wesley has made such a decision, Yuna's recovery is the most important thing. If Yuna can recover, time will heal Wesley's wound. Even if his wound can't heal completely, as long as Yuna accompanies him, he will go through this period of time."

Brian had to admit that Joanne hit the point.

Wesley had chosen Yuna, which meant that he had placed all his hopes on Yuna alone.

If Yuna's treatment failed, it would be a real fatal blow to Wesley.

However, if Yuna recovered, Wesley would have a reason to live. Everything would not be too difficult for Wesley, and he would not suffer such severe pain.

In other words, if the person you loved was by your side, no matter what kind of test you encountered, it would be easier to get through it.

There was a smile on Brian's lips, and he kissed Joanne's forehead. "You go to sleep first. I'll go to the study."

Before Joanne could say anything, Brian had already gotten up and left the room.

Without thinking, she could roughly guess what Brian was going to do.

Joanne thought for a moment, decisively lifted the quilt, flung a shawl over her shoulders and walked to the study, too.

She was right. Brian was now in a meeting with Yuna's medical team in the study.

William participated in the meeting as well. His young and handsome face appeared on the screen.

William was younger and more confident than the other doctors, and he had a frivolous and charming air about him that doctors shouldn't have, which made him look like a rich young master who was just here for fun.

Looking at William, Joanne found it hard to imagine that he was a medical student who graduated from a top medical college.

What was even more unimaginable was that less than five years after his graduation, William had become a famous brain surgeon around the world, and also a medical talent that all the hospitals fought for.

A young and promising elite like William should certainly have his own sense of prestige.

Joanne wondered why he was willing to listen to Brian's arrangement.

However, it was not the time to ask such a question now.

Brian looked at the computer screen, and there was a touch of seriousness and coldness in his handsome face. He said in a decisive tone, "I don't care who Wesley chose in the end. I want you to guarantee that Wesley's choice is right."

In other words, he wanted Yuna to live.

He wanted Yuna to accompany Wesley through the darkest time in Wesley's life.

Feeling greatly stressed, William massaged his temples and asked awkwardly, "Mr. Brian, do you know how difficult it is?"

Brian glanced at William and asked, "Do you know how much higher your salary is than that of an ordinary doctor?"

William was speechless and could only raise his hands in surrender. "Alright, we will do our best."

Brian was obviously dissatisfied with William's answer. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do your best?"

William heard the dissatisfaction in Brian's words and quickly explained, "I mean, we will try our best to cure Yuna and let her accompany Little Seven for the rest of their lives!"

Brian did not continue this topic. There was a touch of seriousness in his deep voice. "William, it's very important."

William also knew that it was very important.

Wesley chose Yuna at the last moment, which showed that Yuna was more important than anything else.

If he failed to keep Yuna alive, it would be like killing Wesley with his own hands.

No, it would be more painful for Wesley to watch Yuna leave the world than to kill him.

Therefore, William had to save not only Yuna but also Wesley.

At this thought, William abruptly realized that he, a young and handsome man, would be responsible for two lives!

"Fuck, it's too burdensome!"

William looked serious. He gazed at Brian and said, "You don't need to emphasize it. I know it's very important."

After a pause, William continued, "Don't worry. Even if I have to pay the price with half of my life, I will find a way to cure Yuna. After all, I am a genius doctor. If Yuna dies under my treatment, it will ruin my own reputation too, right?"

William used to joke around, but this time, he was serious.

Brian trusted William and looked less serious.

William immediately looked frivolous and casual again. He gazed at Brian and smiled. "Mr. Brian, I would like to remind you of one thing as well."

Wesley did not say anything.

He knew William's way of doing things too well, and it was definitely nothing good that he was referring to.

William suddenly moved closer to the camera and looked at Brian with a faint smile. "I heard that you love your wife very much. It's so late, but you still convened a meeting for Little Seven. I suspect that you actually love Little Seven."

Brian glanced at William and blurted out, "Get out."

He turned off the camera and the computer, and looked at Joanne, who was standing next to him.

He already knew when Joanne came in, but he did not want those on the other side of the camera to see her, so he did not talk to her.

Joanne looked at the clock on the wall and said, "It's already early in the morning. Go back to sleep."

In the past few days,Brian was very busy dealing with Wesley and Yuna's affairs. Every day when he returned home, he would be very tired.

As soon as he lay on the bed, he would fall asleep immediately, even faster than Joanne did, just like now.

Joanne looked at the evident tiredness on Brian's face and stroked his eyebrows with distress. She gently kissed him, then closed her eyes and snuggled into his arms. After a while, she fell asleep as well.

The next day, when the sky had just brightened, Joanne quietly got up, put on her coat, and disappeared from the room.

Having been married for so long, Brian had gotten used to seeing Joanne lying beside him after he woke up. However, when he opened his eyes early in this morning, there was no one next to him.

It had occurred before, but very rarely.

Brian sat up and asked in a low and hoarse voice, "Joanne?"

Since Joanne was not in the room, naturally no one would respond to him.

Brian frowned and became more confused. He got up and went downstairs. From a distance, he smelled the aroma from the kitchen.

He thought of something and walked to the kitchen door. As expected, he saw Joanne making breakfast inside.

He knocked on the door to attract Joanne's attention.

Joanne knew without looking outside that it was Brian. She dried her hands on the apron, picked up a small bowl, and handed it to Brian. "Have a try."

She had just woken up, and she was wearing a loose and light-colored home dress. She looked languid, casual and particularly beautiful in the morning light.

Brian pushed away the bowl in Joanne's hand and fixed his eyes on her face. "Honey, I don't want to try the porridge."

Joanne knew Brian too well. When he called her "honey", it was usually not a good thing.

She took two steps back and looked at Brian cautiously. "Then... what do you want to try?"

Brian suddenly held Joanne's face and looked at her deeply. "You."

Joanne was speechless.

"Did he think she was a pair of shoes or some article of clothing! Try her?"

Before Joanne could protest, Brian's kiss had already landed on her. He held her face, sucked her lips hard, and absorbed her taste greedily.

Gradually, Joanne's protests disappeared from her mind.

After an unknown period of time, Brian loosened his grip on Joanne, and he said in a warning and threatening tone, "Don't run down without telling me in the future."

It was a special period now. When he did not see Joanne, he would start thinking about negative thoughts.

Joanne looked innocent. "You were still sleeping. How could I tell you?"

Brian responded immediately. "You could wake me up."

Joanne hesitated for a moment and said, "I figured that after waking you up, I might not be able to come down..."

Brian narrowed his eyes and stared at Joanne with a meaningful smile. "If you can't come down, what will happen to you then?"
