Wendy was too naive, so Gavin had to guard for her in person.

As soon as he arrived at the company, Gavin dialed a number on his phone. "Help me to get the information about a person."

"Why do you always investigate on others these days?" The person on the other end of the phone was surprised, but more of his words were teasing, "Are you addicted to investigating on people?"

"Cut the crap," Gavin ordered, "He is in the internal cardiac surgery department of the Eighth Hospital, a deputy chief physician surnamed Xu."

"It's just a piece of cake!" the man promised confidently. "You can check your email in 15 minutes."

Gavin put down the phone. After less than fifteen minutes, the computer notified him about a new email. He clicked it and saw the detailed information about Dr. Torres.

Dr. Torres's full name was Xu Fan, a native of Arlington, who was born in a scholarly family. He was guaranteed to enter an Ivy League College. After graduation, he returned home and was invited to work as a heart cardiac surgery practitioner of the Eighth Hospital. He published several SCI theses at a young age and was recognized as a genius in the medical field.

From college to the stage of a doctor's degree, Xu Fan had three girlfriends. They all dated with him for about two years, but they ended up breaking up in the end.

The first girlfriend cheated on him and betrayed him. So he was the one who proposed breaking up. The second girlfriend proposed breaking up with him because he was going abroad. The third one broke up peacefully because of their improper personalities.

At that time, when Gavin had heard that Xu Fan was unmarried in his thirties, Gavin had once guessed that there was something wrong with him.

However, according to the investigation report, Xu Fan's character and medical ethics were very good and reliable. Moreover, in the past two years, Xu Fan had been attending the blind dates arranged by his family.

That was to say, even if Gavin filtered his information personally, he could not pick out any stain from Xu Fan. And Xu Fan was indeed a nice young man.

It seemed that he could rest assured and leave the task of taking care of Wendy to such a person.

Gavin knocked on the table twice with his fingers and logged out of the mailbox.

For a moment, Gavin suddenly felt as if his heart was somehow empty. He stared at the computer screen for a long time, and in the end, he just smiled bitterly.

Even if Xu Fan's character was not good enough, what could he do?

He simply was in no proper position to intervene in Wendy's choice.

What Gavin did not know was that when he looked through Dr. Torres, Dr. Torres was also staring at Wendy's information.

Compared with Gavin who had to find someone else to investigate, the way Dr. Torres used to get Wendy's information was much simpler-he just needed to get the intern's information from a colleague in the hospital.

Although the information on the intern's data was not very detailed, it was all that Dr. Torres needed to know.

It was said on the information that Wendy had been living in Australia before last year. According to some awarding records, Wendy had been an excellent student since childhood, and her ability in the extracurricular events was also very good. Because of her excellent grades in college and her good foundation in Chinese, she had been chosen as an exchange student to study medical science at Arlington University.

Wendy should be that kind of girl who was not only the beloved one in the professor's eyes but also a popular girl in the classmate's group.

Dr. Torres couldn't help feeling a little distressed. Wendy was so young, and she had already made a name for herself. There should be many people chasing after her. Since she was able to live in such a good apartment in such a good location, her family's situation should also be very good.

There should be no problem for him to fall for an outstanding intern.

The key issue was - he might not be able to get this intern girl.

Dr. Torres touched his forehead and sighed.

Life was really unpredictable.

Gavin investigated Dr. Torres because of Wendy. Dr. Torres wanted to understand Wendy, so he did not miss a single piece of information on her data-this was like a strange biological chain.

The person standing at the top of the chain was Wendy.

However, Wendy was not relaxed either.

She suddenly ran into Gavin last night, and her heart surged for it for a long time. Finally, if she didn't go to work overtime in the hospital, she couldn't have guaranteed that she could peacefully spend the night.

But now it seemed that though she successfully survived from the night, she couldn't escape from the morning.

When Gavin mistook Dr. Torres for chasing after her, he didn't seem to react drastically. He was just seriously evaluating Dr. Torres.

Although this was a reasonable reaction, Wendy was still disappointed.

For Gavin, as long as she was with a good person, it wouldn't matter whom she was with, right?

Wendy slid down, and her whole body dipped into the water of the bathtub.

What was she thinking about? Gavin was her brother. She could be with anyone except for Gavin.

When she almost suffocated herself, Wendy came out of the water like a fish. Then she stood up, put on a bath towel and went back to the room to sleep, but she failed to fall asleep as fast as she had imagined.

After closing her eyes, her mind was full of Gavin.

After a while, it was Gavin's smile.

After a while, it was filled with his face calling her little girl.

Then, she saw Gavin looking at her intently. She was captivated by his bright eyes and would never return to the reality.

In the end, Wendy felt her head heavy and her whole body uncomfortable. She didn't even know how she fell asleep.

Around two o'clock in the afternoon, Wendy woke up feeling hungry, but she was willful and didn't want to order takeout. There was only an apple left in the refrigerator.

She washed the apple and called Joanne while eating. "Cousin, I'm not at work today."

Joanne was very surprised. "You are still an intern. How dare you drop off work?"

"No." Wendy opened the wardrobe and chose among a row of clothes of different colors. In the end, she took out a white T-shirt and jeans. "I finished today's work last night!"

"... So?" Joanne asked.

"So-is Martha going to send you something to eat later?" Wendy softly smiled a few times, " Ask your cook to make something for me. I don't want to eat takeout..."

"It's still not too late to call back now," Joanne said. "Get ready and come over."

When Wendy arrived at the hospital, she happened to meet Martha who came to deliver food. She couldn't wait to help Martha carry the meal box together to the ward, and she didn't have time to say hello to Joanne before she started to eat in the restaurant.

Joanne just ate some fresh fruit. Seeing Wendy eating like a wolf, she couldn't help asking, "You haven't eaten anything since you slept?"

"Yes." Wendy did not raise her head. "I am starving to death!"

Joanne put down the red and plump cherry, and looked at Wendy with a calm expression. "You clearly got off work yesterday, why did you run back to work overtime again?"

"The department was in urgent need of manpower." Wendy looked innocent. "The others are either busy at home or with their boyfriends. The superior physician, who is single, called me to work until this morning."

Joanne gave Wendy a sympathetic look.

Wendy didn't care about it. She drank the last mouthful of soup and wiped her mouth with a tissue. She naturally said, "By the way, Gavin sent me the iPad."

"Hmm," Joanne said. "He's so positive?"

Wendy was stunned and stopped herself from thinking too much about Joanne's words, and explained,"He must just have the time."

Joanne did not say yes or no, and kept an eye on Wendy quietly.

Wendy did not seem to be affected by Gavin at all. Just like what she said, she misunderstood her feelings for Gavin. It was not love. Instead, it was just a kind of dependence on her brother.

"Cousin," Wendy suddenly asked, "How many days are left before your due date?"

Joanne thought for a moment. "Three days or four days."

"You don't seem nervous at all, it's a little magical." Wendy ate a piece of honeydew melon.

"Well, I'm not nervous." Joanne smiled. "Your cousin-in-law is more nervous."

Wendy could not help complaining, "Because my cousin-in-law is nervous about you! Can't you stop saying this? I was tortured by the patients last night, and I don't want you and my brother-in-law to torture me again!"

Joanne burst into laughter and leaned on the sofa. She looked outside and sighed. "I really want to go out for a walk."

Wendy took a step back, "I can't promise to go out with you!" While speaking, she had already made a defensive posture.

Joanne asked in surprise, "Why are you so scared?"

"You, along with the two little guys in your belly, equal the bigger half of the world of cousin-in-law." Wendy's face was full of horror. "I'll be crazy to take more than half of Brian's world away. In case something happens, I can't pay back even if I hit my head against the wall for a hundred times."

Joanne originally wanted to incite Wendy to go out with her, but it was obviously impossible for Wendy to agree when she looked like this, so she had to give up.

Not long after, the sun began to set, and Brian also came back from the company. Wendy smiled and greeted him.

Brian was a little surprised. He looked at his watch and asked, "Are you off work?"

"Yes, I got off work this morning." Wendy stood up and stretched. "Cousin-in-law, now that you're back, I won't be the third wheel. I'll leave."

Wendy left like a gust of wind, leaving only Brian and Joanne in the living room.

Joanne felt that something was wrong. She pulled Brian's hand and looked at his watch, and the pointer pointed to 5:15.

She looked up at Brian doubtfully. "Wendy's timetable is abnormal, and your schedule is even more abnormal-how did you get off work so early?"

Brian said, "I went to a meeting in a partner's company this afternoon and came back directly after the meeting."

Joanne smiled and said, "Does it count as skipping work?"

"Strictly speaking, that's right." Brian hid his insufferably arrogant look between his eyebrows. "However, who do you think can control me?"

In Lambert Group, without doubt, no one could control Brian.

The problem was that he was not in the company now.

Joanne smiled, looking innocent and harmless. "I think I can."

"As Mrs. Lambert, of course, you can." Brian easily threw the problem back to Joanne. "But, how do you want to handle me, huh?"

Having been married to Brian for so long, Joanne had not learned all of his tricks, but she had already mastered half of them.

Joanne tilted her head, and there was a lot of inexplicable meaning in her smile. "You will know in a while."

Brian narrowed his eyes and said, "You've become naughty."

Before Joanne could say anything, Brian had lowered his head and kissed her on her lips.

"Hmm..."

Joanne was caught off guard. She could only make a vague sound and inadvertently opened her teeth.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Brian recklessly deepened the kiss and took Joanne's taste as much as he could.

The setting sun shone through the window and the rays quietly sprinkled by the feet of Joanne and Brian. It stretched the shadows of the two people, and the room was silent for a while. It was so quiet that it made people feel at ease.

Joanne's arms unconsciously wrapped around Brian's waist. Perhaps because she was too close to Brian, her nose was full of Brian's smell, along with the sweetness in the air...

Joanne felt at ease.
