Wendy could understand why Joanne asked that.

After all, she didn't even think about it and decided to let Gavin take the operation.

"Maybe Joanne thinks that it's a little hasty for me to decide that so easily.

"How will I tell her that this is a choice question but with only one answer?

"Yes. At present, Gavin's physical condition is very bad. If he undergoes surgery in such a state, it will not only increase the risk of the operation but also put Gavin in danger.

"However, except for shooting the works, Gavin has no better choice.

"If he doesn't take the operation, Gavin's body will gradually get worse. In the end, he will pass away and leave us completely.

"In that case, I would rather have Gavin take the operation.

"If he does, there is at least a glimmer of hope for him to survive.

"I believe that Gavin will definitely make it through this."

Thinking of this, Wendy smiled at Joanne and said, "Don't worry, Joanne. I've thought it over, and I know what I'm doing."

Joanne nodded and did not say anything more.

Others might not understand why Wendy had made such a quick decision.

However, she was not very surprised.

Wendy was always so decisive when she was calm.

The little girl usually looked soft and weak, but there was a kind of courage hidden in her body that ordinary girls did not have.

If she encountered any important things, her courage would burst out and help her make her choices.

As for the fact that Wendy chose to let Gavin take the operation in the end, this would be the last glimmer of hope for him to survive.

According to Wendy's character, she should hope that Gavin could seize this glimmer of hope.

Therefore, Joanne was not surprised by her choice.

As for what would happen if Gavin took the operation in such a bad condition...

Joanne suddenly didn't dare to think about it anymore. She looked at Wendy and hugged her with the most gentle strength.

Wendy closed her eyes and leaned into Joanne's arms.

After Gavin fell ill, Joanne became her support.

Fortunately, she had people like Wesley and Joanne. If it weren't for their company, she might have been unable to hold on.

"Wendy," Joanne said softly, "you need to stay strong in the next two days, or even for a long time, okay?"

Gavin's operation would take place the day after tomorrow.

Today and tomorrow would become the hardest days of Wendy's life.

The day after tomorrow, Wendy would face the greatest anxiety in her life.

What was worse was that no one could predict what would happen to Gavin's operation.

If Wendy was not strong enough, Joanne was afraid that she would not be able to handle so many heavy things and would even collapse in the end.

Wendy pursed her lips and thought for a moment. Then, she nodded hard and said in an unquestionable tone, "Joanne, don't worry, I will stay strong!"

"Wendy, we've always been worried about you." Joanne let go of Wendy and patted her on the shoulder. "No matter what happens, you must remember that you still have us."

Wendy smiled and said, "Okay!"

"Well, let's go back," Joanne said, "We need to tell others about this."

Joanne and Wendy returned to the suite, and Dolly had also come out of the ward.

Dolly's eyes were red. It was obvious that she had cried.

Joanne didn't have time to comfort Dolly, so she said directly, "Since everyone is here, let's take a seat. Wendy wants to tell you something."

At this time, anything could be bad news that they couldn't bear.

Even Freya, who was usually relaxed, couldn't help but frown at this time. She came over and asked cautiously, "Wendy, what are you going to say to us?"

Wendy blinked and held back the tears in her eyes. She took a deep breath and said, "Gavin's operation has been moved up."

The sudden advance of the operation was mostly because Gavin's situation had deteriorated to the most dangerous level.

The news came so suddenly that Dolly felt as if she had been hit in the head. She couldn't come to her senses for a while before she hurriedly asked, "So when is it?"

Wendy paused for a moment before she said, "The day after tomorrow."

Everyone found it unbelievable with their first reaction, including Chris, who had always been calm.

"Gavin's physical condition is so bad. How could he take the operation the day after tomorrow?

"Also, Noah and Henry said that they needed to adjust Gavin's physical condition to the best extent so that he could take the operation.

"Otherwise, the operation will be extremely risky.

"What's going on now?"

Wendy understood everyone's surprise. Before they could ask her anything, she said, "Hear me out-"

Next, Wendy used her own words to analyze Gavin's situation and explain it to everyone.

In the end, Wendy's tone grew more and more firm. "In terms of law, I am the one who can sign for Gavin's operation. I have decided to let Gavin take the operation. Do any of you disagree with my decision?"

Dolly hurried over, grabbed Wendy's hand, and asked, "Wendy, have you thought it over?"

Wendy nodded without hesitation. "Mom, Joanne has already asked me this question. I still have the same answer - I have thought it through very clearly and won't change my mind."

Dolly didn't say anything.

She suddenly burst into tears. She let go of Wendy's hand and turned around to cry silently.

Early this morning, as soon as she got up, she received a call from Chris, who said that something had happened to Gavin.

She rushed to the hospital, and now she heard Wendy talk about these things.

It wasn't that Dolly couldn't accept Wendy's decision, but she couldn't accept that Gavin had to take such a big risk.

Or it could be said that she could not accept so much unfortunate news at once.

Looking at this situation, even Freya, who had always been carefree, could not help but be moved at this time.

Freya asked tentatively, "Wendy, if we have other opinions, will you listen to us?"

Wendy looked at Freya and paused for a while. Finally, she shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, Freya. This time... I can't listen to you. Gavin must undergo surgery."

Chris reminded her, "Wendy, if Gavin takes the operation now, he'll have to bear a lot of risks."

"I know." Wendy pursed her lips and couldn't force a smile. She could only say, "I believe in Gavin."

For a moment, no one else spoke.

Wendy looked at them and thought that they didn't agree with her decision. She looked a little confused. "Mom, Freya, don't you... believe in Gavin? Or should I analyze his situation with you?"

Freya smiled, shook her head, and said, "Silly girl, you don't need to explain or analyze anything with us. You are Gavin's wife, of course, you are in charge of his affairs. You believe in him, so of course, we believe in him as well. All of us will be there with you the day after tomorrow. You must be strong."

Wendy was deeply moved. She nodded hard and said, "Gavin will get better. He won't leave me alone."

Freya hugged Wendy, patted her on the back, and said, "You know Gavin best, and he also listens to you the most. Since you said that he will get better, I'm sure he will."

Hearing that, Wendy finally laughed out loud.

She had to admit that Freya was so good at comforting people. No wonder Chris refused her so many times, but he still fell in love with her in the end.

At this time, Dolly, who was crying silently, also came to her senses. At the same time, she understood that the operation was Gavin's last choice and also his last glimmer of hope. It should be that Wendy was hoping that Gavin could seize this chance of survival.

In this case, she respected Wendy's choice.

Dolly walked over and put her hands on Wendy's. "Wendy, I won't object to your decision. No matter what happens next, I'll be with you."

Wendy looked at the others and asked uncertainly, "Chris, Dad, do you disagree?"

Chris shook his head and said in a particularly gentle voice, "Wendy, we will only be with you."

Wendy smiled again. She looked at Dolly and said apologetically, "Mom, I'm sorry. I didn't ask you and I made such a decision."

"It doesn't matter." Dolly shook her head. "I support you."

At this time, Wendy finally truly felt the power of her family. She had a feeling that as long as her family was with her, she could face everything.

Thinking of this, Wendy wiped her tears and smiled sweetly.

"Yeah. No matter what happens next, I will face it with such a smile."

At noon, Joanne and the others left after having lunch with Wendy.

Before getting in the car, everyone was worried about Wendy.

Joanne walked up to Wendy and asked, "Wendy, are you sure you don't need us to stay here with you?"

Wendy nodded without hesitation. "Don't worry. I can handle it!"

Joanne could more or less guess what Wendy was thinking - she wanted to be alone with Gavin at this time.

Since that was the case, it was not appropriate for them to disturb the couple.

Joanne touched Wendy's head and said, "We'll go back first. If there's anything, remember to call us."

"I will." Wendy waved at Joanne and Chris, still maintaining a smile. "See you."

Watching all the cars leave, Wendy turned back to the inpatient building and went straight back to the suite.

Gavin was lying on the hospital bed. His face was still pale, and he still didn't look vigorous.

Wendy pulled a chair over and sat down by the bed.

She just looked at Gavin like that. After a while, she pulled the quilt for him and asked, "Can you wake up before the operation?" After a pause, she said, "Forget it, you'd better keep resting well. After the operation, you'll open your eyes again, and then I'll tell you that your illness has been cured. At that time, I'm sure you will be very happy."
