The choice that Brian and Wesley were required to make was too cruel. Noah couldn't bear to say it and looked at Henry.

After working with Noah for such a long time, Henry still had some tacit understanding with him. In a second, he understood Noah's eyes and said fluently, "Mr. Lambert, Mr. Mu, let me tell you the details."

Brian and Wesley did not speak, and their eyes were sharp as they waited for Henry's following words.

Henry continued to say slowly, "To put it simply, Gavin's illness has reached an irreparable level. He may wake up, but he will soon fall unconscious again. Also, his conscious time will be longer and longer, and the time he's awake will become shorter and shorter because his condition is getting worse and worse. In the end, if..."

Everyone knew what would happen in the end, so Henry didn't continue with his words.

After a pause, he changed the subject and continued, "Noah and I both think that you should choose whether to take the risk or not."

Speaking of risks, Brian knew Wesley in his teens. When they were still young, the two of them had done something challenging together.

At that time, they didn't have much, so they were not afraid of anything.

At that time, they didn't mind taking risks.

But that wouldn't work now.

What's more, this matter was related to Gavin's living.

Wesley's voice suddenly became cold, and every word he spat out was like ice. "What kind of choice are you asking us to make?"

Noah followed Henry's topic and said the key point, "Gavin... may need to be operated right away."

Hearing that, Brian and Wesley narrowed their eyes almost at the same time.

It was clear that they were extremely shocked at this answer, to the extent where they could even be said to be furious.

Noah had clearly said before that before Gavin had the operation, he must adjust his body to the best state so as to increase the success rate of the operation.

Now, Gavin's situation suddenly worsened and his physical condition was extremely bad. How could they arrange for Gavin to undergo surgery?

Didn't this mean that the already very low success rate of the operation would be reduced by more than half?

"No!" Brian's voice was as cold and sharp as the blade. "You'll use a different method!"

Noah shook his head. There was no embarrassment on his face. He looked calm and said, "Mr. Lambert, Gavin... there aren't any other methods for him."

Their treatment was no longer the key, and there weren't any other methods for Gavin.

Unless they had the stunningly magical ability to cure someone, taking the operation was Gavin's only choice at present, no matter how risky the operation was.

Henry understood how Brian and Wesley were feeling as he explained, "Gentlemen. If Gavin doesn't take the operation, he may not... have much time left. If he takes the operation, he still has one last glimmer of hope. Noah and I suggest that you should take the risk and sign the surgery consent form. The operation should be arranged in the afternoon on the day after tomorrow."

Brian and Wesley did not speak. They were both about to break down, and the big office fell into silence for a while.

In the end, Brian calmed down and said, "We are not Gavin's family members, so we can't make the decision for him."

Noah understood what Brian meant.

However, he didn't specifically call Brian and Wesley over for no reason.

Noah hesitated for a moment before he reminded them, "Are you sure you want to hand over such a difficult choice to Wendy? Most importantly, can she... handle such terrible news?"

Wesley glanced at Brian and said, "We'll discuss it first."

Noah nodded and said, "Make it fast."

Brian and Wesley left the office and walked to the balcony of the tea room.

Wesley stood straight, took out a cigarette pack and a lighter, and handed a cigarette to Brian.

Since Brian got married to Joanne, apart from a few times when he was annoyed by her, he had rarely smoked again.

It was not only because Joanne hated the smell of cigarettes, but also because he knew that smoking was not a good thing, which would directly bring harm to his health.

He was afraid that he could not take care of Joanne without a healthy body.

However, at this time, Brian did not refuse Wesley's cigarette.

He took it, lit it up with Wesley's lighter, and took a deep drag.

Brian hadn't smoked for a long time, and Wesley's cigarettes had a strong smell of smoke. He choked on the smoke and coughed softly.

Wesley smiled and teased him directly, "What's wrong? Don't you know how to smoke?"

Brian looked at the round and long one between his fingers and said, "I haven't smoked for a long time."

Wesley paused for a moment and then said, "It has been almost two years since you married Joanne."

When it came to Joanne, Brian slightly smiled. "Yeah. I have lived a normal life for two years."

Brian thought that he was not living a normal life before he met Joanne.

Before that, there were only two things in his life, which were work and planning for revenge.

One could imagine how boring that kind of life was.

It wasn't until he got married to Joanne that he slowly realized that he could still have fun in life.

What Brian didn't expect was that the words "normal life" slightly got to Wesley.

Brian used to have the same boring life as Wesley. That was why Gavin always complained that they were both boring people and did not understand the romance of life at all.

"However, Brian is luckier than me. He got married to someone who could make his life normal.

"As for Yuna, she is still in the dangerous place of the Kent family, and she only has Jin protect her."

Wesley puffed out a ring of smoke and didn't speak for a long time. After a while, he asked, "What do you think? Should we let Wendy make the decision?"

There was a rare hesitation on Brian's face. After a while, he shook his head and said, "To be honest, I don't know."

Wesley was silent for a long time. "To be honest, I don't know either."

Brian thought for a moment, put out the cigarette butt, and said, "Let's ask Joanne about this."

He sent a message to Joanne, and she quickly came over.

Even if the wind on the balcony was strong, Joanne could still smell the smoke when she opened the door.

Joanne paused and her face froze. "Brian, how's Gavin doing?"

She remembered very clearly that Brian had not smoked for a long time. "After he and Wesley came back from Noah's office, they suddenly hid here and smoked...

"There must be some special reason for this."

At this time, Joanne only hoped that everything would go smoothly and that nothing wrong would happen.

However, it seemed that her wishes couldn't come true.

Joanne walked over quickly, grabbed Brian's hands, and looked at him eagerly. "Why did you call me over?"

Brian knew that Joanne had already guessed that things were not optimistic. He covered her hands and told her everything about what Noah and Henry had said.

After listening to Brian, Joanne seemed to have been immobilized by someone. She could not come to her senses as she stood still like a block of wood.

"How could this be?

"It's obvious that Gavin has been getting better. Why did his condition suddenly become worse?

"I've prayed countless times. Could it be that God will still mercilessly take Gavin away?"

Brian knew how Joanne was feeling, but he didn't have enough time to comfort her. He continued, "Noah and Henry asked us to make a choice. However, in the legal sense, Wendy is Gavin's family member. She is qualified to sign the surgery consent form. We shouldn't help her decide whether to let Gavin take the risk."

Joanne slowly looked up and asked in a trembling voice, "Are you asking me whether we should tell Wendy the truth about Gavin's condition?"

Brian nodded. "That's right." He paused for two seconds and continued, "Joanne, you know Wendy best. If you don't think it's appropriate to tell her about the truth, Wesley and I will make the choice."

Joanne didn't say anything.

She knew why Brian said that, and she also knew what he and Wesley were worried about.

The success rate of Gavin's operation was low, and now he would take the operation in the worst state.

If anything went wrong, they would lose him forever.

Brian and Wesley were worried about Gavin, and they were also worried that Wendy might not be able to bear such a heavy thing. During Gavin's operation, Wendy might collapse at any time.

But in fact, their concerns were completely unnecessary.

Joanne sighed softly and said, "Even if you don't tell her, it won't take long for Wendy to guess it."

Brian didn't say anything.

"Will Wendy guess it?"

Brian and Wesley looked confused at the same time.

Joanne patiently explained, "No matter how big the risk is, in the end, you will still take it and let Gavin take the operation, won't you? Gavin's physical condition is obviously very poor, but the operation is suddenly moved up. Do you think Wendy can't tell that something's wrong?"

The two men were speechless.

This time, Brian and Wesley had nothing to say.

Just now, they had indeed overlooked this point.

Therefore, Brian made the right decision by getting Joanne over.

"What's more, you underestimated Wendy." Joanne couldn't help smiling and said slowly, "At first, she could confess her love to Gavin under the pressure of their brother and sister relationship. Later, when she learned of his illness, she still stayed with him. Since Gavin got admitted to the hospital, he has been in the OR many times, but what did Wendy complain about it to you? No. She can handle everything on her own."

Brian had already understood what Joanne meant. He looked at her and said, "Do you mean that we should tell Wendy?"

Joanne nodded. "If you keep this from her, she will definitely guess it. In this case, it's better to tell her and let her make the choice for Gavin. Don't forget that this is the most important choice in Gavin's life."
