Chapter 1137 You'll Do Something Practical to Support Me

Wendy was about to leave, but when she heard what Gavin just said, she stopped, turned around, and gave him a "rest assured" look. She said, "Chris will also go."

Gavin didn't seem to understand what she meant. He raised his eyebrows and said, "So?"

Wendy explained with a helpless look, "I mean, you won't need to worry about me since Chris is going with us. Even if something does happen, he will deal with it. You'll just need to rest assured!"

Gavin's expression instantly became darkened and profound, and there was a hint of gloom in his tone. "Wendy, do you mean that you trust Chris more?"

Wendy was stunned and cursed in her heart.

She finally understood that it was not that Gavin didn't understand her words, but that he was jealous just now.

After being with Gavin for so long, she had learned a lesson that when he got jealous, it would be more troublesome to appease him than a jealous woman.

Wendy had spent a lot of time dwelling on it, but she still couldn't come up with a good idea. She could only kiss Gavin to calm him down and said, "You'll know the answer when I come back!"

After that, she didn't have the courage to say goodbye to Gavin and just slipped away.

Gavin looked at Wendy's back and did not stop her.

"She'll come back sooner or later anyway. There's still a long way to go. I can take my time to get even with her."

Wendy was fast. She almost rushed out of the door, rushed straight into the elevator, and then gasped.

When she was about to press the button, she found that someone had already pressed it. The number of the first floor was on.

Was someone also in the elevator?

While Wendy was wondering, she saw something familiar from a man's clothes from the corner of her eye. She looked up and found that it was Noah.

Noah held his mobile phone with both hands. One was sliding on the screen within a small area while the other kept clicking on something. From time to time, all kinds of shocking sound effects rang out from his phone.

Wendy recalled what the nurse had said that Noah had recently been addicted to an online game.

"Is he playing that game?

"Why is he so engrossed in it? He keeps playing it even when he takes the elevator, and he looks so serious."

Wendy tried to poke Noah's arm and asked, "Dr. Sanchez, are you losing?"

"Yeah, I'm losing. My teammates are idiots! I'm a master with excellent skills. It seems that I'm too good for them!" Noah's phone screen dimmed. He finally looked up at Wendy and said, "I'm so pissed!"

It was the first time Wendy met such a straightforward person who claimed to be a master. After a moment of silence, she pointed to Noah's mobile phone. "Why did stop playing then?" She wondered, "He seemed to be quite enjoying it just now."

Noah spread his hands. He said very helplessly and blatantly, "I died."

Wendy was speechless. "Damn, this is too scary!"

At this time, when the elevator went down to the first floor, Noah and Wendy got out together. Almost at the same time, his mobile phone gave out a certain prompt.

Then, Noah held his phone almost as fast as he could and repeated what he had been doing in the elevator.

Wendy was preparing for her exam, and Noah was experienced in this respect.

She thought that there was still a long way to go from where they were to the entrance of the hospital, and she could take the opportunity to discuss the postgraduate entrance examination with Noah, so she asked him some questions about the exam.

Noah's eyes were fixed on the phone screen, and he did not speak for a long time.

Wendy frowned and poked his arm, "Dr. Sanchez?"

After a while, Noah suddenly said, "I'll talk to you after I get killed."

Wendy felt speechless.

She finally realized that it was bad timing for her to ask him.

"I... I'd better leave first.

"This young man is addicted to online games. It's madness!"

Wendy walked very fast and arrived at the gate of the hospital after a short while.

A young man in a hospital security uniform saw her and suddenly reached out to stop her. He said apologetically, "Ms. Xiao, please wait for a moment. The car sent by Mr. Lambert hasn't arrived yet."

"Huh?"

Wendy was a little confused. She tilted her head and looked at the security guard. Suddenly, she realized that this guy wasn't an employee of the hospital.

In fact, he worked for Brian, who arranged him to protect Gavin and keep an eye on her.

She was not allowed to go out before the car arrived. Brian probably arranged it for her safety.

The hospital was under Lambert Group, but the places outside the hospital weren't under the control of Lambert Group, where Rowdy could do whatever he wanted.

"Well, I'd better just wait here, so as not to put myself in danger."

Wendy didn't wait long before a white car stopped at the gate of the hospital.

The security guard went over to confirm that the driver was one of their men before he came back to call Wendy, "Ms. Xiao, you can get in the car now."

"Alright. Thank you!"

Wendy ran out with a smile and got in the back seat of the car. While fastening her seat belt, she asked the driver, "Have my cousin and cousin-in-law arrived at the mall yet?"

"They've already set off," the driver said with professional seriousness. "Ms. Xiao, you will arrive at the same time as them."

Wendy noticed that the driver was not enthusiastic. She touched the tip of her nose with embarrassment and replied with an "okay" before taking out her mobile phone to play games.

She had heard of the game that Noah had been playing, and it seemed to be quite popular recently.

"Maybe I should download it and see if it's that interesting."

The more Wendy thought about it, the more tempted she became. She searched for the name of the game, soon found it, and downloaded it directly.

By the time she finished downloading the game, the car stopped.

The driver got out of the car and opened the door for Wendy. He still looked very professional. "Ms. Xiao, we've arrived at the mall. Mrs. Lambert and Mrs. Su have also arrived."

"Well, thank you." Wendy ran out of the car. Suddenly, she seemed to think of something and turned back to stare at the driver with a smile. "You can call me Mrs. Shen from now on!"

The driver had never requested like this before. He was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses and replied, "Okay."

Wendy was very satisfied. She smiled before she turned around and entered the mall.

Joanne and Freya arrived a little earlier and were sitting in a cafe on the first floor of the mall. They were so eye-catching that it was hard for Wendy not to notice them.

Wendy ran into the cafe, put her arms around Joanne and Freya's shoulders from behind, and asked curiously, "What are you talking about?"

Joanne motioned for Wendy to sit down and said, "Freya is going to set up her own high heels brand. We were talking about the registration."

"It sounds great, Freya. I'll root for you!" Wendy hugged Freya and encouraged her. "Your brand will certainly get famous. Good luck!"

Freya clenched one of her hands into a fist and held her chin. Even if her belly had slightly swollen, it could not stop her charm.

She stared at Wendy for a while and suddenly said, "Wendy, how about you'll do something practical to support me?"

Wendy widened her eyes and almost subconsciously covered her chest. She looked at Freya in horror and asked, "What are you up to, Freya?"

Freya knew that Wendy would definitely misunderstand, so she couldn't help laughing and explained unhurriedly, "I'm very short of designers now."

"I see. So you want me to be your designer." Wendy was instantly relieved, breathed a sigh of relief, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Freya. I just want to be a doctor now."

"I was just kidding." Freya finally let Wendy go. "I know that you're a medical student. How could I let you be my designer? However, you can be my source of inspiration."

Wendy was a little surprised. After all, she had never thought that she could become a source of inspiration for others. After thinking for a while, she tentatively asked, "Can I really bring you inspiration? If I can, will you pay me for it?"

"Uh-huh. Of course, you can inspire me." Freya looked at Wendy carefully and said, "Wendy, I'm sure no one has ever told you that you have the most natural and innocent girlishness."

The sense of girlishness had something to do with age, but it was not entirely about it.

The purest sense of girlishness came from a woman's young and optimistic mentality, as well as her fulfilling and upward lifestyle. Wendy had these characteristics.

Freya didn't explain this to Wendy in detail. She continued, "Wendy, I've just started my brand, and I can't afford to pay you for inspiration for the time being. However, after the shoe designs are finished, I can give you a pair!" She blinked at Wendy and asked, "What do you think? Deal?"

Wendy had already agreed in her heart, but she still pretended to be dignified and pondered for a moment. Then, she nodded and said, "For the sake of us being relatives and my future nephew, the deal is done!"

Joanne stood up and said, "Since the deal is done, let's go shopping. We'll go back early after that."

At this moment, Chris was just walking toward the cafe from the outside.

He had always been steady. After getting married, he had a kind of warm gentleness. He was elegant and graceful, and he was very attractive to others.

Chris would always be the center of attention in the crowd.

Wendy seemed to be about to pass out. She touched her forehead and said in a slightly trembling voice, "My god, I'm going to pass out. How can my cousin be so handsome?

Freya came over and deliberately asked, "Shall I ask Gavin to support you?"

Wendy seemed to be frightened and instantly changed her posture to a serious one. "No. He will only be jealous. I'm not going to appease him."

Freya and Joanne looked at each other, and both of them smiled meaningfully.

Only then did Wendy realize that she had inadvertently slandered Gavin. She coughed and explained, "I mean..."

Freya patted Wendy on the shoulder, gave her an "I get it" look, and said, "You don't need to explain. I'm deeply experienced in this."

Wendy replied with an "alright" and suddenly changed the topic. "So, is Chris also easy to get jealous?"

At this time, Chris happened to walk into the cafe.
