Everyone who knew Conor thought that he lavished a lot of attention on Wendy.

He pampered Wendy excessively.

From the first day he adopted Wendy, Conor could not wait to hold her in his arms and let her live like a princess.

Not only during Wendy's childhood but also now when Wendy had grown up, apart from his work, Conor always talked about his daughter.

All his friends agreed that Wendy was everything in his life.

Some people secretly speculated that Conor doted on Wendy so much that Wendy would turn out to be a spoiled brat.

But only Conor knew that no matter how much he doted on her, Wendy would not be spoiled.

Because Wendy had all the good qualities that were inherent in Dolly.

Since she was a child, no matter what difficulties or challenges she encountered, Wendy would not cry or complain to her parents. She would mentally adjust her attitude and face everything with optimism and positivity.

Even if she failed in the end, she would digest everything silently and continue to look for solutions.

Just like what had happened between her and Gavin.

Falling in love with Gavin had created a huge problem for Wendy.

After her romantic relationship with Gavin was made public, she and Gavin had many doubts.

Now, she and Gavin could finally get together openly, but Gavin was sick due to the disease...

Wendy stayed in touch with Conor, but she never showed any weakness. She was always smiling in their video calls.

At the end of their video calls, Conor could not help asking, "Wendy, are you okay?"

Wendy knew that Conor was just worried about her.

She would always smile at Conor and told him loudly, "Dad, I'm fine now. I will always be fine. You don't have to worry about me!"

Conor nodded with relief, ended the video calls, and burst into tears.

He thought about it for a long time, but had never been able to understand why his daughter, who was so nice, had such a dismal fate.

The only fortunate thing for Conor was that Wendy had always been optimistic enough to undergo any test of fate.

If it weren't for that, Conor could not imagine how Wendy could bear such a heavy burden on her thin shoulders.

However, it would be over soon.

After today, Wendy would experience the two most important events in her life.

The first one would be her wedding with Gavin, which meant that Conor was going to give his only daughter to a strange man.

The second one would be Gavin's operation, which would determine whether his daughter could be happy for the rest of her life after being given to that man.

After Wendy went to live in Arlington, Conor missed too many important moments in her life.

Now, he was here.

Then, no matter what would happen next, he would face it together with Wendy.

In Wendy's memory, Conor had always been very willing to accompany her.

In order to attend her kindergarten graduation ceremony, he even turned down a deal that could generate a lot of profit for the company, so that he could take a photo with her at the graduation ceremony and show it to his friends.

Probably for this reason, Wendy had always felt that no matter what happened, as long as her father was with her, she would have the strength to face any challenges.

When it came to challenges, the biggest challenge for Wendy would be Gavin's operation after the Spring Festival.

Whether she could be happy or not in the future depended on the outcome of the operation.

She needed Conor to accompany her throughout Gavin's operation.

Conor also knew that she needed him, so he said, "Daddy is here to accompany you."

Hearing this, Wendy suddenly burst into tears for no reason.

"Don't cry. You're a grown girl. You'll get laughed at for crying at the airport."

Conor's eyes turned red as he comforted Wendy.

On the one hand, it was because he finally saw his daughter again after a year.

On the other hand, it was because he had never imagined that his girl, the apple of his eye, would experience so much hardship after leaving his protection, and that she had actually gone through them.

Wendy nodded and choked with sobs, but she could not stop crying. Her tears soon soaked through Conor's clothes.

Conor did not care about his clothes. He stroked Wendy's back and continued comforting her.

Wendy was not a timid girl. After she cried for a while, the self-healing power in her body ignited. She wiped her eyes, stopped crying, and looked at Conor with grievance.

Gavin was sick, so she could not shed tears in front of him, let alone act like a spoiled child or cause trouble for him.

However, she could always get infinite care and love from her father.

Conor knew that his daughter was not feeling wronged. It was because she had not seen him for a long time.

He reached out to wipe Wendy's face like he did when she was a child. He deliberately changed the topic. "By the way, why didn't you come with Gavin?"

Wendy tried her best to speak calmly, as if she really did not care about Gavin, "He will only disturb our reunion! I sent him to the restaurant."

Conor laughed and shook his head. "Wendy, only Gavin will believe you. Dad knows that you must not want Gavin to see you cry, so you don't want him to come with you."

"Hey, Dad..." Wendy blinked and her sharp and mischievous look was back. "We all know the truth, so you don't have to point it out."

Conor shook his head helplessly and said nothing more.

In fact, he was happy that even though Wendy had experienced a lot, she had not changed.

Wendy took Conor's hand and said, "The car is outside. Let's go put the luggage in the hotel first and then have dinner! Dad, you haven't returned to this country for many years. I'll take you to eat local delights!"

The hotel where Conor would be staying was Cityscape Hotel, which was owned by Lambert Group.

Gavin had given an order to the hotel manager, and the hotel staff also recognized Wendy. Knowing that her father was going to stay in the hotel for a while, they were all on standby to receive him.

As soon as the car stopped in front of the hotel, someone immediately came up to open the door and said in a very welcoming tone, "Mr. Xiao, Miss Moore, welcome."

Wendy pulled Conor out of the car and said, "Thank you. Dad, I'll show you to the room. You'll definitely be satisfied! By the way, do you know that this is my cousin-in-law's hotel?"

Conor and Dolly were not a real couple, and he had no intention of building ties with Brian.

However, because his company had also invested in Austrilia's hotel industry, Conor knew about the Cityscape Hotel in Arlington.

He had heard that this was a star hotel planned by Brian, which was famous for its design, services and restaurants. It was far ahead of the other high-end hotels in Arlington and was the first choice of accommodation for businessmen and stars.

Gavin arranged a business suite on the 11th floor for Conor.

The suite was designed to be elegant and magnificent. All the furniture was customized by top brands. One had a superb view outside the window. The whole suite was simply perfect.

Wendy could not wait to ask, "Dad, what do you think of this suite?"

Conor said with a smile, "Very good. How can I not be satisfied with your cousin-in-law's hotel? Besides, the hotel is really good!"

"Uh-huh!" Wendy was happier than receiving praise for herself. She smiled and tilted her head. "My cousin-in-law is very powerful. You'll see him soon!"

Conor nodded. At this time, the porter brought his luggage in.

Conor finished his unpacking and turned around to find Wendy looking at her watch. She frowned slightly and seemed to be in a hurry.

He smiled and could not help teasing his daughter. "Wendy, are you that eager to see Gavin?"

Wendy did not know whether to admit it or deny it.

She was more worried about Gavin than eager to see him.

Gavin was indeed getting better, but his condition was not stable, and there was a possibility of accidents occurring at any time.

Unless she stayed with Gavin, Wendy could not rest assured even if she was just away from him for five minutes.

Conor looked at Wendy, who was in a dilemma. He could not bear to see her like this, but when he thought that it was because of a man, he had mixed feelings.

His daughter, who he had brought up would belong to someone else tomorrow.

More importantly, he still had no idea what the man looked like.

The more Conor thought about it, the more helpless he felt.

However, his care for her prevailed in the end.

Conor put on his coat and said, "I'm going to test my future son-in-law. Let's go."

"Test?" Wendy immediately looked serious and hurriedly stopped Conor. "Dad, what are you going to do to Gavin?"

"My daughter, who I have brought up, will marry him tomorrow. As his father-in-law, of course, I have to test whether he is qualified to marry my daughter!" Conor took the test for granted. "It's useless to even try and stop me."

"Dad, I'm not trying to stop you." Wendy bit her lip and looked at Conor pitifully. "But can I discuss something with you?"

Conor motioned for Wendy to continue. "Tell me about it first."

Wendy thought about what she wanted to say and said righteously, "Gavin is now a patient. It's not fair to test him! Of course, you can test him, but you have to wait until he recovers!"

"..." Conor did not speak.

Wendy could not be sure whether Conor would agree or not. She grabbed his hand and shook it hard and whined like a spoiled child, "Dad, please..."
