Wendy rushed into the hospital by covering her face with a bag.

Dr. Torres saw her from afar and called her, "Wendy, what's the matter with you?"

Wendy laid down her bag and looked at Dr. Torres with a pair of beautiful eyes. Then she looked away guiltily. "Nothing."

After that, she covered her face again with the bag and rushed into the office.

The day had just begun, but she had already felt the despair followed by embarrassment.

Today was definitely not a nice day!

Seeing Wendy's complicated expression, the colleague laughed and said, "Wendy, what are you going to do with that expression?"

Wendy turned her back, took a clean white coat and put it on. She said firmly, "I'm going to do something great!"

The upmost despair and the greatest shame in this life were nothing!

The most important thing was that she would never be defeated by those feelings!

After getting dressed, Wendy took the folder and went to make rounds around the wards with Doctor Liang in high spirits.

She was a doctor, so she knew how to cure cardiac diseases. How could she not get out of despair?

"If I really can't shake off that, I'll just take a few more steps!"

This kind of stimulant hypnosis made Wendy manage to be in a normal state day after day.

Dolly was still worried. From time to time, she would have breakfast with Wendy or pick her up for dinner after work.

Wendy looked more normal when she saw Dolly.

Holding Dolly's arm, she jumped up and down vigorously. Occasionally, she complained about the pressure or that it was too difficult to deal with the new patient's family members in the department because they had no trust in the interns. Even so, she and her colleagues could not lose their temper and had to explain to those family members amicably.

Neither of them mentioned the thing that Dolly was going to announce after the dinner for celebrating the first month of Aiden and Romy.

It seemed that Wendy had already forgotten about that thing.

Therefore, she looked even more unsuspicious.

Dolly finally felt relieved and told Gavin that there was nothing unusual about Wendy, so they could reveal his family background after the dinner for celebrating the first month of Aiden and Romy.

Dolly had already mentioned it before. Gavin had guessed that there would be nothing unexpected, so he had little reactions. He was just in a trance for the whole afternoon.

When he got off work, Brian came to Gavin's office and told him something about work affairs. Only then did he find that Gavin was not in a good state at all. He asked, "What's the matter?"

Gavin looked at Brian. "How long is it... Before the dinner for celebrating the first month of Aiden and Romy?"

"There is still a week left, and the dinner is being prepared." When it came to the two little babies, Brian unconsciously wore a gentle and tender look. "Do you have any suggestions?"

"Joanne's aunt... Has decided to reveal my family background after the dinner." Gavin forced a smile, but could not hide the bitterness in his smile. "You will have to call me cousin soon."

Gavin had mentioned it before, but this time, it should have been confirmed.

Brian automatically ignored Gavin's teasing. "So, are you ready?"

Gavin looked down and shook his head regretfully. "In fact, not yet. But I think I probably won't be able to be ready for the rest of my life. So, it would be better to face it as soon as possible."

Brian knew how to speak several languages, but he didn't know what language in the world could be used to comfort Gavin, so he just put his hand on Gavin's shoulder quietly.

They had known each other for so many years that they were too familiar with each other.

Most of the time, they liked to tease each other when facing the problems because they knew that there would always be a way to solve them and that there was no need to worry about it.

But this problem was the blood relationship between Gavin and Wendy.

It could only be solved by rebirth.

Unfortunately, mankind could only live once and could not be reborn.

Gavin tried his best to force a smile, so as to make Brian rest assured. "Let's talk about work."

Brian frowned. "You should have a rest for a few days."

"... Trust me, I need to work more now." Gavin said, "If I have something to do, at least I can let myself be distracted from that. If I don't work now, I really don't know how to live."

Brian had once felt the same feeling as Gavin.

Indeed, it's a good way to divert oneself with work.

However, because he had once experienced it, he knew that it would only make him even more tired.

At this time, it was the best choice for Gavin to take a vacation.

Gavin saw through Brian's mind at a glance and made a "stop" gesture. "I'm not interested in traveling now. I won't go even if you ask me to!"

Brian's face darkened and said, "Gavin..."

He wanted to persuade Gavin but was interrupted by the latter as soon as he spoke.

"Well, I'll save this vacation first. I'll go on vacation one day whenever I want. Now, let's talk about the cooperation with MR Group."

MR Group was one of the Fortune Global 500, with its headquarters in the United States. This time, it sent Miley back to China to negotiate tie-ups with Brian.

They had reached a tie-up, but another project was still in negotiation.

Once the agreement was reached on the second project, the current situation of the industry would change, and Lambert Group and MR Group would be mutually benefitted.

The key problem was that if they made the deal, Brian and Miley would be in touch for a longer time.

For now, Brian did not believe in Miley.

Gavin asked, "So, should we agree to cooperate with MR, or refuse them and only carry out the previous project?"

Brian was lost in thought, and his dark eyes seemed like a bottomless black hole.

No one could tell what he was thinking.

"Cooperate with them."

After thinking for a moment, Brian made his final decision.

Gavin did not hide his surprise. "Aren't you afraid that Miley will play tricks on us?"

There was a piercing and chilling light reflecting in Brian's deep eyes. "I just want to see who is behind her."

"In that case, this cooperation will be interesting!" Then, Gavin reminded him. "By the way, Joanne knows about Miley. Do you need to tell her about this matter?"

Brian never hid anything from Joanne about Miley and her feelings for him. Before signing the first contract with Miley, Brian even asked Joanne if she minded it. If the answer was "yes", he would have given up the project.

Joanne had just replied, "I trust you."

Because of trust, Joanne didn't mind Brian's work-related contact with Miley.

Thinking of Joanne's smiling eyes, the gloom and dangerous expression on Brian's face were swept away. Instead, there was a faint smile on his face.

"No need." After a pause, Brian added, "But I will still tell her."

Because Joanne trusted him, he needed to confess everything to her.

A strong relationship required not only the trust of one party but also the honesty of the other party.

In Gavin's impression, Brian rarely spoke in such a brisk tone, so that his words sounded full of gratefulness and favor.

Gavin smiled and said, "You're right. With Joanne's character, she will never consider that, let alone care about your contact with Miley." After a pause, he said with a sigh, "In fact, it's really fate for us to meet each other."

Brian didn't really understand. "What do you mean?"

Gavin began to explain as if he was saying tongue twisters. "Dolly is Joanne's aunt. The former abandoned me, and the latter met you. And, I know you.

"When Joanne was in college, you asked me to pay attention to her situation and help her with all kinds of troubles. Later, because her brother was going to get married, Dolly recognized me as her son at the airport.

"Then, I just know that the girl I secretly observed and helped for so many years is actually my cousin. And I have already known her husband for a few years. Isn't it fate?"

Brian raised his eyebrows to indicate that he agreed with Gavin's words.

Gavin smiled, but the smile disappeared from the corner of his mouth bit by bit. "When I first met you and Wesley, I secretly thought that it would have been better if I had gotten to know you earlier. Or that I would be happier if I were your family."

Brian,"..."

Gavin spread out his hands and said with an unknown emotion, "It turns out that we're destined to be a family."

However, as a result, he could not be with the girl he liked.

He paid a big price for being Brian's family.

Gavin was not said, but he absolutely couldn't be happy.

"I should have helped you find your family earlier," Brian said, "If I had known that Wendy was your sister from the beginning, maybe..."

Brian did not go on, because the fact was determined and it was meaningless to consider other possibilities.

Gavin sighed and said, "It's all my life."

Just like the fact that he had lost his father after he was just born, it could not be reversed. He could only accept them.

Brian thought for a moment, but still did not say- Sometimes, fate could be changed.

"Well, Aiden and Romy are waiting for you at home. Don't disturb my work here." Gavin didn't want to continue this topic anymore, so he asked Brian to leave. "Go home quickly!"

Brian looked at the time. It was twenty minutes later than his usual time to go home.

He didn't say anything more, left the company in a hurry, and went home.

Gavin couldn't help complaining, "It seems that you are much worried about me. But when it comes to your wife and children, you're in such a hurry, aren't you?"

"However, it's normal, isn't it?"

Just as the old saying went, nothing could be better than a wife, several kids, and a white picket fence.

He used to be ready to be an unruly person like the free wind and take root nowhere. Later, he met a girl. Finally, he wanted to treat a person, just the way Brian treated Joanne. Moreover, he wanted to have a home where there would be a person who would make him become deeply concerned with it.

But now...

"fuck, beautiful things are just illusions!"
