Chapter 625 A Man Will Always Be a Teenager Until His Death

When he contacted the other professors the next day, Gavin emphasized on keeping it a secret again and again with the same words.

In other words, the more money they paid for the consultation, the more they needed to keep it a secret.

The answers Gavin got towards the end were almost the same as those of the two professors from the United States, and he was quite satisfied with them.

During lunchtime, Gavin handed the list to Brian and said, "Contacted them all. The fastest one will leave for Arlington tonight, and the slowest one will arrive early the day after tomorrow."

Brian was surprised. "Did you ask Wendy for help?"

He knew very well that Gavin was not familiar with medical experts, but he spent less than 24 hours to find the experts of children's asthma and get in touch with them.

If there was no one to help him, it was unlikely that he would be able to find them at such a speed.

Gavin shrugged his shoulders with a calm face. "I have no choice. I can't help it. It would have been okay if you didn't mention that Wendy could help me. But when you mentioned it, I felt that if I don't take this opportunity to find her... I'm a bastard."

Out of expectation, Brian didn't laugh at Gavin this time. He just reminded her, "Wendy may study abroad."

"I remember." Gavin pretended to be relaxed. "That may be better. If I can't see her, maybe I can slowly get her out of my mind."

Since he had experienced a similar situation before, Brian shook his head and told Gavin, "No, you won't."

If one's heart was moved by someone, letting them go was much more difficult than one could ever imagine.

Gavin's thought was obviously too optimistic.

Gavin has seen how much Brian had missed Joanne. Of course, he knew that distance could not drive the forgetting, but he did not expect Brian to reveal his mind so directly.

He fiddled with his hair and stiffly changed the topic. "How is Romy today?"

"She's fine." When it came to Xiang Yi, Brian's tone showed his pain. "She didn't suffer from asthma today."

"That's good." Gavin sighed and accused her. "The God that everyone believes in doesn't really know how to be a human being. How can he torture our Romy in such a way?"

However, God was not a human indeed, was he?

If he were human, he would understand the pain of human beings.

If he had understood the pain of human beings, he would not have arranged this kind of fate for him.

Gavin was drowned in emotions during the lunch.

In the afternoon, Brian got off work on time. The driver knew that it was impossible for him to work overtime during this period, so he drove to the company's gate early to wait for him.

After getting in the car, Brian received a phone call from Wendy.

"Brother, are you off work?"

"I just got downstairs." Brian knew Wendy's intention without guessing. "You want me to pick you up?"

"Well..." Wendy began to explain, "Your hospital has never considered the feelings of those who don't have a car. There is no bus and subway station nearby, and it is more difficult to take a taxi at this time than to fly to the sky..."

Brian smiled and said, "Wait for me at the gate of the hospital. I'll come to you right now."

"Okay!" Wendy did not hide the excitement in her voice. "Thank you, brother-in-law!"

Brian asked the driver to drive past the Eighth Hospital. In less than twenty minutes, he picked up Wendy.

Wendy got into the car quickly and urged as soon as she sat down, "Winston, hit the road!"

Brian looked at Wendy and asked, "Who are you hiding from?"

"Nobody," Wendy said with a look which meant "it's none of my business", "It's your car that's too flashy. If it's seen by colleagues, there may be some rumors. I don't want to explain."

Brian asked flatly, "Then how did you explain to them when Gavin came to pick you up in the past?"

Wendy tilted her head and said, "He... There's no need to explain. My colleagues have already misunderstood."

Brian thought that Wendy would be eager to get rid of the misunderstanding between her and Gavin. But he didn't expect that Wendy would take such a decadent tactic.

He suddenly wanted to figure out Wendy's mind for Gavin. "You didn't explain to them?"

"The power of gossip is beyond your imagination." Wendy helplessly spread out her hands. "I explained it to them once, but they thought I was hiding it. So, it's better not to explain it."

"Huh?" Brian expressed his surprise. "Are you just going to compromise and admit it?"

"No, my silence doesn't mean that I admit it." Wendy paused and then said loudly, "In any case, people like Gavin and we, who hate each other, can't be together. So gossip... will break up in the future. I don't need to waste the time to explain."

Brian handed Wendy a bottle of opened mineral water and said nothing.

From Wendy's expression and reaction, if she wasn't acting, then it might really be a mistake that she used to make people think that she liked Gavin.

As for the fact that she was Gavin's younger sister, she probably didn't know it yet.

When they arrived at the hospital, Wendy thought that Brian would go to the suite with her, but she found that Brian was walking in the direction of the pediatrics department, so she couldn't help asking, "Cousin-in-law, where are you going?"

"Aiden got examined today. I'll go to the doctor to get to know his conditions," Brian said, "You go to find Joanne first."

Wendy said, "Okay."

She walked in the direction of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department. When she entered, she caught a glimpse of a tall figure out of the corner of her eye.

It was obviously the figure of a foreigner, but he was wearing the white coat of a doctor in the hospital. It seemed that he was beyond the age of retirement. How could he be in the hospital?

Out of curiosity, Wendy couldn't help looking at him more. Something blurred in her mind. She vaguely felt that this person was familiar. She seemed to have seen him in a famous medical magazine, but she couldn't remember which field he was in.

"Miss Moore," a nurse passing by greeted to Wendy, "are you here to see Mrs. Lambert?"

"Yes," Wendy replied with a smile. Then she turned her head in the previous direction and saw that the foreign doctor in the white coat was gone.

Since she didn't remember who it was, Wendy didn't take it to heart and walked towards the elevator.

When she arrived at the elevator, Brian also came back from the doctor with the inspection results of Aiden. She pressed the opening button of the elevator and said, "Cousin-in-law, let's go upstairs together."

"I thought you had already gone upstairs." Brian pressed the button and asked, "Have you met an acquaintance?"

"No, I seem to have seen a big shot in the medical field," Wendy said regretfully, "But he shouldn't be in the field of cardiac surgery like me. I can't remember who he is. I can only see that he is a foreigner who has been specially interviewed by a magazine."

Brian said, "The hospital often invites experts from other hospitals or foreign countries for consultation. It's normal for you to see doctors who are featured in the medical magazines here."

Wendy replied with an "oh" and said, "Then there's really nothing strange about it. Let's go."

The elevator soon reached the top floor. Wendy rushed out of the elevator and went straight to the suite. The two little guys were just awake. She carefully picked up Romy from the baby bed.

Looking at the fair and tender little girl in her arms, Wendy understood the meaning of heartache for the first time.

She was such a clean and beautiful little girl. She should have been a little angel. How could she suffer from asthma, which was such a severe disease?

"Cousin," Wendy held the Romy in her arms and asked, "Is Romy all right?"

Joanne touched her daughter's little face. "Don't worry, the doctor has said that there is hope for a cure. Even if medicine can't help her, as long as she is looked after carefully, she can grow up healthily."

"What about Aiden?" Wendy asked.

Since Romy inherited asthma, there was also the possibility for Aiden to suffer from asthma.

"Aiden..." Brian just came in. Joanne said, "You'll know after you ask your cousin-in-law."

Brian put down the examination report of Aiden and said, "He is fine."

Wendy let out a long breath. "Fortunately, otherwise, it would be too troublesome."

Joanne was still worried. She looked at the examination report of Aiden. Seeing that every index on it was normal, she was finally relieved.

Fortunately, fate did not make things too difficult for these two little guys.

Brian took the report from Joanne, held her hand, and put much strength to it. "Don't worry, Gavin has already contacted the professors who are going to attend the consultation for Yiyi, and it will start the day after tomorrow at the latest."

Joanne nodded. "Great!"

A day had passed. She had calmly accepted that Romy was not completely healthy. The innate genes couldn't be changed, but she could take care of her daughter more carefully the day after tomorrow.

As long as she was more careful and considerate, Romy would be able to grow up healthily like an ordinary newborn.

At this time, Romy suddenly kicked her leg in Wendy's arms and hummed twice, as if protesting something. Then she began to cry again, and Wendy couldn't pacify her no matter how hard she tried.

In the end, Wendy could only surrender. "Cousin-in-law, come and hold her. I can't handle it."

Brian had just washed his hands. He walked over and hugged his daughter. When he lowered his head, his eyes and eyebrows were full of love. "What's wrong, huh?"

Romy looked at Brian with her clear and bright eyes, and her snort became aggrieved.

Brian smiled and stroked his daughter's delicate face with the back of his hand. "Good girl, daddy's back. Don't cry."

Perhaps Romy had understood Brian's words, so she leaned her head into Brian's arms and actually stopped crying.

Wendy's heart softened when she saw that scene. She suddenly remembered a sentence that a man would always be a teenager until his death.

In fact, it was not quite right. At least after having children, they would change.

When it came to the changes, Wendy's mind suddenly fell on Gavin-if Gavin were a father, would he still be as unrestrained and playful as he was now?

However, before thinking about this problem, she should firstly think about whether Gavin could be a father.

Other than her, who else would love someone like him so much?

Joanne noticed that Wendy was distracted and called her, "What are you thinking about?"

Wendy came out of her trance and pointed at Brian with a smile. "I'm pondering if a man, no matter how cool he is, will become like my cousin-in-law as long as he becomes a father?"

"Not necessarily," Joanne said, "Before the birth of Aiden and Romy, I completely didn't expect your cousin-in-law to become like this."

Wendy said, "... All right."
