Dolly stared at Gavin for a moment. She obviously wanted to say something but stopped.

In the end, Dolly just asked, "What about yourself? You think about it on behalf of Wendy, and on behalf of the company. Have you ever thought about yourself?"

"Since young, I have given up a lot, but that's all I don't want." Gavin said, "Now, I want to live, and I won't give up my life."

Even though there was no fun in being alive, and there wasn't any meaning to it, he had been struggling for so long and had yet to truly enjoy a carefree life. It was not worth it to just die like this.

Therefore, when he got rid of Rowdy, the scum, he would receive the treatment.

"How much longer do you need?" Dolly said, "The doctor who is in charge of your father's treatment has been studying this disease for the past few years. He told me about the great discovery of his experts and team, but you need to go to the treatment as soon as possible."

Gavin didn't know how long it would take to finish off Rowdy. Although in Gavin's eyes, Rowdy was a slag, in fact, it was better not to underestimate his strength.

After a moment of silence, Gavin asked, "Can you give me the doctor's contact information?"

Dolly didn't know what Gavin was going to do, but she still nodded. "I will send it to your phone."

"Thank you." Gavin stood up. "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

"Gavin!" Dolly caught up with Gavin, but her footsteps stopped behind him. She looked at Gavin with her eyes full of worry. "Are you okay?"

Gavin chose to ignore the worries in Dolly's eyes. He raised his lips as if nothing had happened. "Are you worried that I won't be able to accept and digest so much news in such a short time?"

Dolly said, "I'm really worried about you."

"You don't have to." Gavin looked relaxed. "Since I can remember, I have accepted the truth that I am an orphan. As a grown up, I have to send away a few friends every day, or welcome several tragic new friends. The bad news is a common thing for me, so you don't have to worry about me."

The more Gavin understated her words, the more Dolly felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife. Tears filled her eyes when she said, "Gavin, I'm sorry."

"You don't have to be."

"Pardon me." Gavin left the cafe without looking back.

In fact, it was not so easy to accept the bad news.

When he knew that he was an orphan, he began to doubt his life and value at such a young age. When he had seen his old friends being taken away, he had secretly ran to the dean to cry.

Later, when he grew up, he became numb to some things. He also found a way to reward himself by surrounding himself with tobaccos and beauties.

He had thought that life would not be so difficult anymore and that he would finally be able to control the rest of his life.

However, when he was most proud, fate played a joke on him-not only did he inherit the disease which had taken away his father's life, but Wendy was also his half-blood sister.

That was the most ironic part of the story.

Gavin sat in the car, smoking one cigarette after another until he could not get anything from the cigarette box.

Only now did he realize that certain kinds of distress could not be got rid of just by choking tobacco.

Gavin suddenly felt dull and tasteless. He put out the cigarette and started the car.

He lived in the most luxurious apartment in the center of the city, but it wasn't his home. At best, it was just a place for him to sleep, so he didn't want to go back.

But if he didn't go back to the apartment, he didn't know where he could go in such a big city.

After driving around for a while, Gavin found himself parking the car under Wendy's apartment.

He opened the tent and counted up along the lights floor by floor, and his eyes stayed on the floor where Wendy lived.

The light was on, and Wendy was at home.

What was she doing?

If Gavin was the same person as before he met Wendy, then he would definitely rush up regardless of anything and tell Wendy that he had always been not just to tease her.

In fact, he had never been so serious in his life.

But he couldn't do whatever he wanted anymore. He not only had to think for Wendy, but also for the current situation.

The most important thing was, what could he do even if he said it?

Even if he said it, he and Wendy couldn't be together. There was a damn blood relationship between them.

Although they loved each other, they could not be together because of their blood relationship. It was enough for him to come and suffer. Wendy was the person he wanted to protect the most. She should stay away from this kind of pain.

At this moment, Gavin suddenly understood why Brian was not willing to let Joanne have a relationship with him.

Because love will make you want to protect that person and let her live peacefully in her small world.

You can be happy only when you see her happy.

The passers-by walked along the street, and people kept looking at Gavin and his car. Gavin didn't care about these gazes, but finally, he shut down the tent of the car and stayed quietly downstairs of Wendy's apartment.

After God knew how long, there were no pedestrians on the street, and there were few vehicles on the road. Gavin had received several work emails on his mobile phone, and he vaguely realized that the life and work still needed to go on. So he started the car and went back to his apartment.

After returning to the apartment, Gavin did nothing but directly lied down on the big bed in the bedroom. He closed his eyes and waited for the dawn.

Early in the next morning, Gavin got up to deal with matters related to work, and then drove to the company.

For a long time, Gavin was used to arriving at the company at the last minute unless there was something very important. Today, he went to the company more than half an hour ahead of time, which made Brian quite surprised.

When looking at Gavin carefully, Brian found that he looked tired. Brian thought that he had spent the night planning to confess his love to Wendy, so he asked, "Do I need to give you a half-day off?"

"No." Gavin raised his hand to show that there was no need. "I got up early in the morning to deal with the emails and arrange the work for today. If nothing goes wrong, today will be very smooth. If you ask me to go home, I will lose my sense of accomplishment."

Brian was keenly aware that something was wrong. "You got up early in the morning to read the emails? Shouldn't you be planning to confess your love to Wendy?"

Gavin paused in the process of sorting out the documents. After a while, he raised his head and looked at Brian. "Don't mention this again in the future."

Brian squinted his eyes, "What happened?"

"..."

Seeing that Gavin did not intend to open his mouth, Brian added, "I am not asking you as your boss. I am asking you as a friend."

Gavin suddenly realized that Brian had to know about this matter someday, or it would not be easy to deal with it in the future.

He bitterly raised the corner of his mouth and squeezed out a voice after a long time, "Can you believe it? Joanne's aunt is my biological mother, and Wendy and I are the halfblooded brother and sister with the same mother."

Brian had heard too much incredible news, but this was the first time that he had felt incredible He even suspected that there was something wrong with his hearing, or that Gavin was joking..

"Gavin and Wendy are half-blooded siblings of the same mother. How could that be possible?"

"I also thought it was unbelievable at the beginning." Gavin shrugged helplessly. "But, the fact is the fact. No matter how unbelievable it is, it is still the truth."

After that, Gavin told Brian about his past.

Even Brian could not suddenly digest such a sudden and unacceptable news. After a while, his voice reluctantly returned to its usual calmness, "What are you going to do?"

"I have my own plans." Over the past few years, it was the first time that Gavin had looked at Brian with such pleading eyes. "But, you have to keep it a secret for me."

Brian knew Gavin so well that he soon understood what Gavin was going to do. He frowned even more and said, "You want to..."

"It's a bit of a disgrace, I know," Gavin smiled lightly, "but compared with the fact that we are siblings, this 'truth' will be more acceptable for Wendy. I need you to keep it a secret so that it won't irritate Wendy at this time."

Brian stared at Gavin for a moment. "Is it not as simple as that? Are you sure you didn't hide anything else from me?"

According to Brian's understanding of Gavin, if things were not so terrible to a certain extent, he would not choose this way to hurt Wendy.

"Things are already terrible enough for me, why do you still think it's simple?" Gavin did not mention his hereditary illness at all, and he uttered a tut-tut with dissatisfaction. "Do you hope to have something worse coming up to me? fuck, are you a friend or not?"

"You'd better not have anything else." Brian's eyes were sharp and his words were equally sharp. "Otherwise, when I find out, you..."

Gavin shrugged and indifferently interrupted Brian. "Go ahead and check it out."

He tried his best to pretend to be frank and unscrupulous-Brian knew him, so did he. At this time, the more he didn't care, the more likely Brian would believe his words.

In the end, Brian returned to his office without saying anything. Gavin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He hoped to conceal his illness as long as he could. At this critical moment, it was the last thing he could do to help Brian.

At this time, Dolly just went downstairs from the suite of the hotel. She walked to the lobby and was about to leave the hotel.

"Ms. Su!" The staff at the front desk called Dolly. "I changed shifts yesterday. I didn't know when you came back, so I didn't have the chance to tell you. Miss Moore came over yesterday afternoon."

"Wendy was here?" Dolly twisted her brows. "Did she say why she came?"

"No, she just said that she wanted to see you." The receptionist said, "But we told her that you weren't home. So she took the door card and waited for you inside."

Dolly suddenly remembered something and hurriedly returned to her room, and rushed straight into the study.

The document about Gavin's past was still lying quietly on the desk, motionless.

Dolly let out a sigh of relief.

Since the document was put in the study, Wendy should have thought that this was a business document. She had never been interested in business, so she would not open it.

Regardless of what she had in mind, Dolly still could not be assured and dialed Wendy's phone number.

"Mom?" Wendy's light and energetic voice came, "What's wrong? I just got on the taxi and am ready to go to the hospital to work!"

"Nothing." Dolly tried to stabilize her voice as much as possible. "I heard from the front desk that you came to the hotel yesterday afternoon to find me. Do you have anything to tell me?"
