Noah liked to watch Wendy smile.

Maybe she was used to being carefree. When she smiled, it was more beautiful than a blooming flower.

As long as she smiled, the whole world would become clear because of her.

Noah felt very lucky because he and Gavin's medical team helped save Wendy's smile together.

If Gavin's operation failed, Noah didn't dare to imagine how Wendy would cry, let alone when she would ever have such a bright smile on her face again.

"You're welcome." Noah looked at the time and continued, "Well, you can continue to sleep at ease. I won't come back until about nine o'clock in the evening."

"Well, I can't sleep!" Wendy stood on her tiptoes with a happy smile on her face. It could be seen that she was in a good mood.

Noah had known her for so long that he knew her character well.

He looked at Wendy for a moment and asked in a probing voice, "Wendy, is there anything else?"

"I just made a very important decision!" Wendy looked at Gavin with a bright smile. "Speaking of which, I made this decision because of you!"

"Well, I'm so honored!" Noah was flattered and asked, "By the way, what decision is that? Will you tell me about it?"

"I've decided to take the postgraduate entrance examination and continue to study medicine!" Wendy pursed her lips and smiled. She looked a little embarrassed. "I've thought about taking the examination a long time ago, but because Gavin was sick, this matter was delayed again and again. Now that Gavin is fine, I've completely made up my mind that I'm going to continue my studies!"

"I'm very curious-' Noah looked at her carefully and asked, "What made you make up your mind?"

"Didn't I just say it now? It's because of you!" Wendy's almond-shaped eyes burst out a clear and dazzling light. She looked straight at Noah and said, "Dr. Sanchez, when you came out of the operating room today and told us that Gavin's operation was successful, I felt that you were more amazing than those handsome pop stars, and you couldn't be more dazzling!"

It was rare for Noah to hear Wendy praise him. He didn't answer and was ready to be proud at any time.

Wendy had yet to finish speaking. She pondered for a moment and continued, "How should I describe you at that moment? You looked simply like a super Charming Prince!"

After Noah got over his proud and shy state, he raised his chin and immediately presented his demeanor as a Charming Prince. "Of course, I do!" After a pause, he continued, "Even if I stayed in the operating room, I would remain a Charming Prince at any time!"

Wendy's heart was filled with gratitude for Noah.

At this time, even if he was talking nonsense, she would not hesitate to nod in agreement.

Wendy nodded and gave Noah a positive approval. "Yes, that's true!"

"You are so cute, Wendy!" Noah rubbed Wendy's head. "I'm going to rest for a while. See you tonight."

Wendy waved her hand at Noah and said, "See you tonight!"

After Noah left, the room became quiet again.

Wendy looked at Gavin on the bed and felt calm and happy in her heart.

She turned on the laptop, took down the postgraduate study materials from the shelf, and began to review.

If she remembered correctly, the postgraduate entrance examination of this year was in a few days.

She began to review at this time. Compared with the students who started preparing for the examination half a year ago, she started too late.

However, she still wanted to give it a try.

For the first time, she was so determined to continue studying medicine.

Or, she wanted to improve her professional knowledge and lay a solid foundation so that she could be stronger and help those who were plagued by diseases.

As a patient's family member, she understood sick people's feelings better than when she was in school, and she knew how to treat patients and comfort their family members.

She believed that she could become a good doctor.

Wendy was usually undisciplined, but after all, she was a doctor, so she was very decisive. Once she calmed down, she could quickly enter a state of concentration.

As soon as she started reviewing, Wendy buried herself in reading the information until eight o'clock in the evening.

If it weren't for Joanne's phone call, it was very likely that she wouldn't have realized that it was already nighttime before her attention was finally diverted.

"Wendy, have you eaten yet?"

Joanne's voice was soft with a trace of her unique tenderness and warmth.

Wendy touched her stomach subconsciously. "Huh?" she said in a daze, "Not yet!"

Joanne was just asking casually. She didn't expect that Wendy really hadn't eaten yet.

She frowned on the other end of the line and said, "It's already very late." She thought that Wendy was still worried about Gavin's condition, so she continued, "Dr. Sanchez has said that Gavin will slowly get better. You can just rest assured. You no longer need to worry about anything."

Wendy smiled and explained, "Joanne, it's not that I'm worried about Gavin. I just... forgot to eat."

"You forgot it?" Joanne suddenly became curious and asked, "What are you doing now?"

"I told you guys before that I want to take the postgraduate entrance examination and continue to study medicine," Wendy said, "I was reviewing just now."

"So that's how it is."

Joanne thought about it and was completely relieved.

She remembered that Wendy had always wanted to take the postgraduate entrance examination, but because of Gavin's condition, she had to focus all her energy on Gavin.

She finally began to review and prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination, which showed that she had indeed recovered from her worrying state.

Joanne smiled and encouraged Wendy. "Go get it then!"

"Yeah!" Wendy promised firmly, "I will!"

"Well, I will stop wasting your time then. You can continue reviewing," Joanne said, "I just called to remind you to eat."

"Okay, got it. I'll go eat something right away!"

Because Wendy was in a good mood, her voice was particularly brisk.

She simply hung up the phone, looked at Gavin, and gave up ordering food. She decided to go to the restaurant alone.

Since this morning, she had been pacing between the ward and the operating room. It wouldn't be a bad choice for her to go downstairs and breathe the night air to relax herself.

After dinner, she took a walk alone for a while. Wendy felt much better. When she returned to the ward, she happened to meet Noah, who had come to examine Gavin.

Noah noticed the laptop and the information for the examination on the desk. He seemed to be teasing but also encouraged Wendy seriously. "Hey, that's nice! Little Sister, work hard!"

"I will!" Wendy nodded confidently. She looked at Noah seriously and said, "I will definitely become a doctor like you!"

Noah froze a bit. He seemed to have thought of something and his expression suddenly darkened.

However, he was good at adjusting himself. Before Wendy noticed anything unusual, his expression had returned to normal.

He gently stroked her head. "That won't be good enough. You have to be better than me."

"Okay, no problem!" Wendy tilted her head. "It's a deal!"

"It's a deal."

Noah didn't say anything more. After the examination, he quickly left.

Wendy still didn't notice anything unusual. She reviewed until late at night. After feeling sleepy, she washed up and went straight back to lie on the sofa.

The sofa was just placed opposite the bed. As soon as she opened her eyes, she could see Gavin.

This feeling made her feel at ease and satisfied.

Wendy closed her eyes calmly and soon fell asleep.

The greatest happiness in life was to be able to sleep peacefully and wake up without any worries.

Compared with Wendy, Joanne was not in a good state today.

Joanne had never forgotten about the incident at noon because she knew that Brian would definitely not let it go, and he would definitely come to settle accounts with her.

However, if he did not mention it, she would definitely not either.

"Well, maybe I can muddle through?"

After Joanne finished her call with Wendy, she went to the children's room to check on her kids. The two little kids were already asleep. Martha took good care of the siblings and there was nothing for her to do for the time being.

She thought for a moment and walked to the door of the study.

The beautiful wooden door was half-closed, and a corner of the study could be seen through the crack. Brian's voice faintly rang out. It was low and magnetic, like the sound of some beautiful musical instrument.

Joanne felt that Brian's voice, no matter how boring it was, could still be very pleasant to the ear.

However, Brian should have no time to appreciate his voice.

Although it was New Year now, he still had to deal with the affairs of the overseas branch.

Brian had set aside a lot of things just for Gavin's operation. It was necessary for him to work overtime today.

Joanne thought about it, went to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee, and brought it to the study.

Brian had just ended a video conference. When he heard the noise, he looked up and saw Joanne coming in.

He glanced at her and motioned for her to walk to him.

Joanne did not forget that she still needed to settle the trouble between them. She walked behind Brian obediently, put the coffee beside his hand, and asked, "Do you still have a lot of work to do?"

"Yeah." Brian took Joanne's hand and kissed the back of it. "You should go to sleep first."

He didn't mention what had happened at noon.

Joanne thought excitedly, "Did he forget it?"

She nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay!" After that, she turned around and was about to leave the study.

It was as if Brian was trying to hint at something. Before Joanne took a step forward, he coughed.

Joanne was very perceptive and immediately reacted. She kissed Brian on the face before he finally let her out of the study.

Joanne returned to the bedroom, quickly washed up, and jumped onto the bed to cover herself with the quilt.

She escaped a calamity and thought that she would fall asleep soon.

But it turned out that she had overestimated herself.

She didn't know if it was because she was used to Brian being with her when she fell asleep. She kept having a feeling of emptiness around her and didn't feel safe or sleepy.

Joanne sat up confusedly, holding the quilt. She wondered what was going on.

"I can't fall asleep without Brian around?

"I don't think so!"

Unconvinced, Joanne pulled the quilt over and lay down. She began to hypnotize herself, praying that she could get through the night safely.

In the end, she realized that she was still too stupid and naive, and that she should have known her ability better.
