"This is the way I am. Take it or leave it!"

Noah kept having a feeling that it was incredible that Wendy would say those words.

However, it also seemed to be a natural thing.

Not to mention that Wendy kept changing her attitude toward him. Even if it was ever-changing, he couldn't do anything to her.

Noah helplessly adjusted his glasses and looked at Wendy curiously. "Little girl, where did you pick that up from?"

Wendy said without hesitation, "I taught myself that!"

"She taught herself that?

"Hmm, that's quite novel."

Noah tried his best, but he still failed to control himself. He burst into laughter and teased, "So... you've been teaching yourself how to behave?"

He admitted that he had deliberately misinterpreted Wendy's meaning.

"Wendy messes with me from time to time. It should be okay for me to get even with this little girl."

Of course, Wendy knew that Noah did it on purpose. She glared at him and warned him, "Don't play this trick on me. Mind your words, or I'll bring Hazel up!"

At this point, everyone could mention Hazel in front of Noah without any scruples.

Of course, they shouldn't do it too many times.

If they kept bringing up her name, not to mention Noah, even a bystander would be angry.

However, as long as Noah could handle it, they could make fun of him as they liked.

Now, Noah was obviously not angry yet. He raised his hands and pretended to surrender, saying, "Can we stop this?"

"Okay!" Wendy clearly agreed, but she still looked full of fighting spirit. She then said unexpectedly, "We will continue next time!"

Noah could only admit defeat to Wendy, the girl full of fighting spirit, so he hurriedly said to Gavin, "I'll go back to the office now. You should pay attention to your condition. If you feel any discomfort, you can come to me any time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Noah fled out of the room as fast as he could.

Wendy clapped her hands and thought proudly. "I should be the victor of this round."

She cheered silently in her heart as a celebration.

Gavin looked at Wendy and said helplessly, "Stop bullying Noah any longer. Also, you don't know what's going on between him and Hazel. Aren't you afraid that he will be hurt if you always mention Hazel to him?"

Wendy pursed her lips and thought for a moment. Then, she decided to tell Gavin, "What's going on between Dr. Sanchez and Hazel should not be like what we have imagined. At least, it's different from Boss Hayes's and Yuna's situation!"

"Is that so?" Gavin was quite curious. "Then tell me, what's the difference between their situation?"

"The deals between Boss Hayes and Yuna are complicated. Their situation can't be mentioned casually." Wendy said, "I don't think there's anything about the relationship between Dr. Sanchez and Hazel that can't be mentioned. It's rather a light topic, so as long as I don't use her to make fun of him frequently, he won't be angry!"

Gavin found it incredible and asked, "Wendy, how can you be so sure?"

Wendy snorted and said with a proud look, "I discovered this according to their way of treating each other!"

Gavin felt helpless and could only nod. "Dr. Moore, I hope that you're right about them."

"Don't worry!" Wendy looked very confident. "I can't be wrong about that!"

Gavin smiled and just looked at Wendy.

"This is nice.

"I have recovered, and Wendy has returned to her usual funny self.

"My life... seems to be perfect by now."

Wendy was immersed in her own thoughts and did not know what Gavin was thinking at all.

After a few seconds, she suddenly recalled something and said, "That's right. Joanne and Brian will be here soon, and so will Mom!"

Gavin was not surprised. He replied with an "okay" to show that he got it.

Wendy bit her lip and thought for a while. Finally, she decided to tell Gavin now and said, "There's one more thing. I think I have the obligation to tell you about it."

Gavin had known Wendy for so long, but it was rare for him to see such a serious expression on her face.

If what Wendy was going to say was not related to him, it would be particularly serious.

Gavin was not nervous. He looked at Wendy and said calmly, "Alright. Go ahead. I am listening."

Wendy thought about what phrases she should use before she said in a soft voice, "Gavin, I know you've been hiding something from Mom. I've already... told her about it on your behalf."

Gavin suddenly had a bad feeling. His heart skipped a beat and he asked, "What did you say to her?"

Wendy stared at Gavin for a moment. She then lowered her head and said with little confidence, "I know why you haven't been willing to call her mom. I told her the reason..."

Regardless of whether she should say it or not, Wendy had already done it. It would be useless for Gavin to stop her or oppose her at this time.

Thinking of this, Gavin calmed down and only asked curiously, "Wendy, how did you know the reason?"

"I've never called Dolly mom, not because I have yet to forgive her, but because of something else.

"I've been keeping that reason firmly hidden in the bottom of my heart, and I've never told it to anyone, not even Wendy.

"So how did she know it?"

Wendy was even more curious than Gavin. She looked at him strangely and said, "I've been with you for so long. I may not know entirely of you, but I know at least 80% of your personality, right? I know a secret that you're not willing to tell others. What's so strange about that?"

"It's not strange." Gavin went on with Wendy's words and asked patiently, "Wendy, I'm just curious. How did you know the reason?"

After all, Wendy had always been quite silly to him.

Gavin was worried that his little girl would have to rack her brains to tell such a hidden secret.

Wendy certainly didn't know why Gavin was curious. She explained seriously, "I know you're not a cruel person. There must be a reason why you've never called her mom. I remember why you kept turning me down before, so it's not difficult to figure out why you're unwilling to call her mom."

She had really guessed correctly.

It was unknown whether Gavin agreed with Wendy's words or that he felt gratified. He replied with a "hmm" and his eyes became quite meaningful.

Wendy poked between Gavin's eyebrows and asked in confusion, "What do you mean by your eyes?"

"Wendy, I'm very happy." Gavin acted the way Wendy did just now as he explained seriously, "I've always been worried that you aren't smart enough, but now it seems that you are."

Wendy was speechless.

"He's worried that I'm not smart enough?

"That's simply unnecessary!"

Wendy proudly raised her chin and snorted. "Don't look down on me. I'm going to take the postgraduate entrance examination in a few days!"

She had said a long time ago that she wanted to take the postgraduate entrance examination and keep studying medicine.

However, because of Gavin's illness, her plan had been repeatedly delayed.

Now, she had finally put the postgraduate entrance examination on her agenda again.

Gavin was surprised for a moment and soon came to his senses. He asked, "Have you thought it over?"

"I've already thought it over!" Wendy looked confident and energetic. "When you were in the operating room, I had great expectations of Dr. Sanchez. I hoped he could succeed in operating and cure your disease completely.

"Later, I realized that I'm also a doctor. When I'm in the operating room, the patient's family members outside the operating room will also have the same expectations for me. Gavin, I don't want Death to win against the doctors, and I don't want to let the patients' family members down. Therefore, I thought about it carefully. I want to study further. I want to become a doctor as powerful as Dr. Sanchez and bring hope to all the patients and their family members!"

Gavin smiled and said, "Noah will be very happy to hear what you said by the end."

"Well, he heard it a long time ago!" Wendy tilted her head and said, "I've said that to him before!"

Gavin was stunned. There was a sense of helplessness in his smile.

Others might be curious about why Noah did not turn against Wendy since she teased and roasted him every day.

It was probably because of her sincerity.

She didn't actually mean it when she roasted and teased Noah, but her admiration and worship for him were real.

She even set Noah as her goal, dreaming of becoming a doctor like him.

Gavin couldn't help pondering. "If I were Noah, and if Wendy suddenly comes to me one day and says that she will become the same kind of person as me, even if I were not in love with her, I would unconditionally tolerate everything about her."

This was the unique charm of his little girl.

Wendy looked at the time and said with a smile, "Joanne and Mom should be here soon."

As soon as she finished her words, the door of the ward was pushed open, and Dolly hurried in.

From the moment she pushed the door open, her eyes had been focused on Gavin, and she had never looked away.

After she took a few steps, her eyes became watery and filled with tears.

Wendy was a little surprised.

Dolly was obviously the last one she had informed but was the first to arrive at the hospital.

"The moment she heard the news, she must be very happy. I guess she must have been very excited on the way here."

Wendy didn't call Dolly.

At this time, she should try her best to avoid making herself noticed and leave the room for Dolly and Gavin.

However, she could not deliberately leave the ward.

If she did, it would not ease the relationship between Dolly and Gavin. Instead, it would make them even more embarrassed.

At this time, it would be best if she could be a silent companion, and it was also what Dolly and Gavin wanted.

Dolly walked to Gavin's bed, and her tears had already fallen.

Her lips trembled slightly as she called out Gavin's name. "Gavin..."

Wendy turned to look at Gavin.

He had recovered, so he no longer had to worry about letting Dolly down. He had no more worries.

She thought that now, he should call his birth mother "Mom".

Wendy suddenly found that she was more nervous than she had been on the day of her wedding to Gavin.

It should be noted that only from the moment Gavin called Dolly "Mom", they could be considered a real family.

"So, will Gavin call her mom?"
