Maybe Gavin felt Wendy's uneasiness, so he reached out and gently circled her.

He didn't use much strength when he did that, but his movements were full of infinite pampering and attachment.

Of course, she could feel his intention.

She slowly closed her eyes and felt that the whole world had quietened down in an instant. There was a vacuum barrier around her and Gavin.

They hugged each other and stayed in their isolated world. Nothing could disturb them.

At this moment, they were extremely satisfied.

Wendy rubbed against Gavin's neck and said in a soft voice, "Gavin, I want to tell you something. Can you hear me?"

After half a second, Gavin gently said, "Yeah, I can hear you. Just tell me."

Wendy slightly smiled. After a while, she said, "I want to tell you that no matter what the result will be, I have no regrets. I mean it."

She was serious.

Before she met Gavin, the most exciting things in her life were nothing more than fighting against Dolly, refusing to enter the business college, and focusing on studying medicine.

Some of her former classmates had heard a little about her stories, so they came to her and told her to cheer up.

When she was dealing with her classmates, she thought that she had used up all her courage.

In the future, no matter what she encountered, she would probably not be able to resist anymore.

After meeting Gavin, Wendy understood that there would be a source for everyone's courage.

As long as she had a source, she could remain courageous.

For example, she really wanted to study medicine, so the medical college was her source of courage. As long as she had not graduated, she would never give up.

Later, when she met Gavin, she felt the taste of love for the first time. Gavin had replaced her medical college to become the source of her courage.

She could fight against secular rules or even the world because of Gavin.

With this courage, she married him.

"My biggest wish has been achieved, and it seems that... I really have no regrets.

"As for Gavin's illness...

"When Gavin and I were misunderstood as siblings, the whole world was berating us, but I didn't flinch. It's just a disease. What can it do to us?"

She had done everything she could to help Gavin with his illness.

She still had the courage to live, but she had no way to help deal with his condition.

They had placed all their hopes on the last operation.

"Unfortunately, this operation may not only fail but may also take Gavin away from us in advance.

"This will be a terrible result, but everyone, including Gavin, is well aware of it.

"If the result of the operation is not satisfactory in the end..."

Wendy really didn't have great regret.

While saying those words to Gavin, she didn't know whether she was comforting him or herself.

Gavin touched her hair and said in a soft but doting tone, "Silly..."

Even at this time, Wendy would not allow anyone to insult her intelligence, let alone admit that she was silly.

She glared at Gavin and said, "You are the silly one. Humph!"

Gavin smiled helplessly. After half a second, he said slowly, "Wendy, I will have great regret."

"Huh?"

Wendy blinked her eyes in confusion.

"I was comforting him when I said that. Can't he just follow along with my words?"

Gavin knew that Wendy was very confused. He continued, "Wendy, after I found out that I loved you, my biggest wish was to take care of you and stay with you for a lifetime. If this wish can't be realized, I will be very sorry."

Wendy didn't say anything.

Being with each other for a lifetime was obviously a natural thing for the loved ones, but Gavin and Wendy might not achieve it due to the great challenge they were facing.

Wendy looked at Gavin and tried to hold back for quite a while, but her eyes still couldn't help turning red.

She obviously had a lot of words to say, but at this moment, all those words were stuck in her throat and she couldn't say anything.

Indeed, they hoped to stay with each other forever. If they couldn't make it, they would both feel very regretful.

However, if fate really were to torture them, there was nothing they could do about it.

Wendy deliberately said that she had no regrets because she was trying to comfort herself and Gavin.

She didn't expect that her husband wouldn't follow along with what she said at all. He exposed her in an instant and broke her heart with just a few words.

In that case, she would give Gavin a chance and let him go on.

Wendy pursed her lips and looked at Gavin without blinking. "If we can't be together forever, you will be very sorry. So, what are you going to do?"

"Honey, I'm going to survive this operation." Gavin kissed Wendy's forehead. "Be nice and wait for me to wake up."

"Okay, I will." Wendy nodded hard with red eyes. "Gavin, I'll wait for you no matter when."

In this life, Wendy didn't want anyone but Gavin.

She was in love with the best man in the world, and there was no one else that could tempt her.

She had a wonderful relationship. In this world, she wouldn't make do or compromise with any other relationship.

No matter what the result of the operation would be, she would always wait for Gavin.

"If I lose him in this world, we will still have a chance to be together forever when we both get to heaven."

Not only did Wendy oppose Noah, but she also liked to oppose Gavin.

She was so well-behaved now, which was rare. Gavin couldn't help smiling and kissing her face.

Wendy hugged him. At that moment, her cell phone rang, and the word "cousin" was displayed on the screen.

It was Joanne.

Wendy cleared her throat and tried to restore her voice to normal so that Joanne could not hear that she had cried.

She looked at Gavin and said, "Joanne and Brian... must have come over."

Gavin knew that on such a special day, Brian and Wesley would definitely come over.

They had known each other for more than ten years and had overcome many difficulties together.

This time, they should be able to get through it as well.

With that in mind, Gavin nodded. "Pick up the phone and let them in."

The surgery should be starting soon, and he was still very clear-headed.

Since he still had a chance, Gavin wanted to see Brian and Chris.

Of course, he also wanted to see Dolly.

If the operation was successful, Gavin wanted to tell her something.

However, if the operation failed, she would never need to know about it.

Wendy didn't know what Gavin was thinking. She wiped the tears on her face, picked up the phone, and called Joanne, "Joanne."

"Wendy, are you and Gavin awake?" Joanne's voice was soft. "We're just outside the ward."

"Yeah, we're awake." Wendy stood up and said while walking out, "Joanne, wait a minute. I'll go out and get the door right away."

The suite was very large. After passing through the living room, Wendy arrived at the door of the suite.

She opened the door and saw all the people she was familiar with standing outside, including Dolly and Conor.

She tried her best to suppress her emotions, but today seemed to be a suitable day to cry.

Her eyes reddened uncontrollably as she sobbed, "Dad, Mom, Joanne..."

Before Wendy greeted them one by one, Joanne walked over, hugged Wendy, and said, "Wendy, it's okay. Just let it out."

They knew that Wendy was actually very fragile today, but she had to be stronger than ever.

They also knew that she was actually very sad.

However, Wendy was Gavin's wife.

It wouldn't be long before he accepted the biggest challenge in his life. As his only support, Wendy couldn't cry or break down.

She could only choose to be strong.

Joanne stroked Wendy's back and said softly, "Wendy, you don't have to act very strong in front of us."

They were Wendy's family and also her support.

They came here early to provide Wendy with the strength she needed, not to test whether she was strong enough.

Therefore, she didn't need to pretend that everything was fine in front of them.

Wendy's eyes turned redder, and she almost burst into tears.

She nodded and said, "Gavin is awake now. Come in."

Dolly walked over and asked, "How is he? If he's not in good spirits, we won't disturb him. Let him have a good rest and prepare for the operation."

"He's fine now. It's just that he looks a little weak." Wendy smiled. "However, he has asked you to come in. I guess he must be wishing to see you very much. Come in."

Joanne and the others looked at each other. In the end, Iris said, "Let's go in. We are not children, so we won't be noisy and get Gavin disturbed in the ward. Besides, Noah just said that Gavin needs some time to recover after the operation. Let's take advantage of now... to talk with Gavin."

The old lady's words were also meaningful.

However, no one was willing to expose her meaning.

Joanne held Brian's hand and said, "She's right. Let's go in."

Although Brian did not say it, Joanne knew that he got up early in the morning to rush over because he wanted to see Gavin before the operation.

The risk of the operation was too high. No one could guarantee that it would not be the last time they met Gavin.

After Joanne and Brian went into the ward, others also followed, and the spacious ward became a little crowded.

Gavin looked at these familiar faces and smiled. "I'm sorry to have you see me in such a state. However, after the operation, I will get better soon."

Chris smiled. "You'd better hurry and make that happen. I'm looking forward to it."

The atmosphere gradually relaxed. Right then, Dolly walked step by step to Gavin's sick bed.

Looking at Dolly, Gavin opened his mouth. In the end, he failed to call her "Mom". He just said, "I'm ready, and I'll be fine. You don't need to worry about me." After a pause, he continued, "I won't let you suffer that kind of pain again."
