Chapter 654 His Gentleness Lasts for No More than Three seconds

Wendy hoped that she was dreaming.

It would be best if she could keep dreaming about it.

She didn't want to go back to reality and face the fact that Gavin was her brother.

In order to prevent herself from waking up from this dream, Wendy stayed silent.

However, Gavin misunderstood and thought that she didn't respond to his question.

He suddenly exerted force and pressed hard on Wendy's bruise.

"It hurts!"

Wendy had to stop dreaming, and her beautiful face contorted in pain. She looked at Gavin with resentment.

"Damn, I knew Gavin's gentleness won't last for more than three seconds!"

Gavin looked as if he didn't understand Wendy. "Why don't you say something when you're in pain?"

Wendy was about to turn the table over. "Will you make me feel more pain if I don't say anything?"

Gavin raised his eyebrows and said, "It turns out that it works. You just said something, didn't you?"

"..." Wendy was totally speechless.

"Uncle John." Suddenly, Gavin called the driver. "Stop the car."

After Gavin got off the car, Wendy suddenly realized that it was the best time to get rid of him!

It was better to act than to think. Wendy calmly and quietly held the handle. As long as she gave the door a slight push, she could leave.

But immediately, with a "bang", all the doors were locked.

Uncle John turned around and smiled. "Miss Moore, Special Assistant Gavin didn't ask you to get off the car."

Wendy tried her best to look impressive. "Do I need his consent to get off the car?"

Uncle John thought for a moment and said directly, "Miss Moore, you'd better not run away. Special Assistant Gavin will be furious."

Wendy didn't expect that her thoughts would be seen through. She guiltily avoided Uncle John's eyes, and awkwardly sat back in her seat.

In the rearview mirror, Uncle John saw Wendy's look and smiled. He motioned for her to look out. "Look, Special Assistant Gavin is there."

Xiao rolled down the window and looked out.

Gavin was tall, with outstanding figure and temperament. So even by looking at his back, Wendy could find him in the crowd at a glance.

He entered a chain drugstore.

The question was, what was he going to do in the drugstore?

Wendy looked at her wrist and guessed the answer, but she was not sure.

Not long after, Gavin came back. As soon as he sat down, he threw a small bag to Wendy and said, "Use the spray for removing bruises three times a day."

Wendy took the medicine and remembered that she actually wanted to run away just now. She suddenly felt a little guilty.

However, Gavin must have regarded her as his younger sister.

He was very concerned that she had been bullied; he bought medicine for her and told her how to apply the medicine... These things seemed to be done by a brother to his younger sister.

Wendy put away the medicine and turned to Gavin. "Thank you."

Gavin gave a glance at Wendy and said indifferently, "No need."

MiTime was located in the center of the city, not far from Wendy's apartment. So, the car soon stopped in front of the apartment.

Gavin got off the car after Wendy.

Wendy looked at him doubtfully. "Do you still have anything to tell me?"

Gavin didn't answer her immediately. He stared at Wendy for a while and said slowly, "If you're not happy, you can lose your temper."

Wendy did not quite understand his words. "What are you talking about?"

"I said that you didn't have to tolerate Connell." Gavin said, "You are his girlfriend, not his follower. If he doesn't care about your feelings, you can tell him that you are unhappy. Sometimes, you pay the price of making yourself feel wronged by being generous and sensible."

"..." Wendy blinked her eyes and stared at Gavin.

Gavin added, "In a word, I mean, you can be a willful girlfriend."

Wendy hesitated and asked curiously, "Really? Can I?"

"Why not?" Gavin said, "Let me ask you, how many grievances have you suffered since you were a child?"

Wendy shook her head. "Basically no."

"That's right" Gavin seemed to be saying a reasonable thing. "Since your parents who gave birth to you and raised you never let you be wronged, how could Connell do that to you? He is your boyfriend! Didn't you see how your cousin treats Freya, or your cousin-in-law treats Joanne?"

"..."

"..."

After being stunned for a while, Wendy just managed to say, "But everyone's personality is different. When the same disease appears on different people, the cures will be different, let alone the personality of living people."

The implication was that individual actions couldn't be regarded as an absolute standard and posed on another person.

What she said was very rational and reasonable.

However, Gavin was getting angry!

He told her not to be wronged, but was she discussing about being rational with him?

She was obviously not so reasonable when facing him.

"Damn girl, you're pissing him off!"

With a "doh", Gavin gave Wendy another hard knock on her head.

"It's the third time tonight!" Wendy was finally annoyed. "Gavin, you're the one who likes to bully me more than Connell!"

Gavin acted like a hooligan as if to give up on denying her. "Yes, I like to bully you. Do you have a problem with that?"

The best way to deal with hooligans was to act like a hooligan better than them.

But Wendy failed to act as a hooligan by birth.

She kicked Gavin hard, and then ran away.

Gavin looked at Wendy, who was running away like a rabbit. Instead of being angry, he laughed and scolded. "You damned girl."

He got in the car and saw Uncle John holding back his laughter in the rearview mirror.

Uncle John must have seen everything, so there was no point in trying to hide it. Gavin simply said, "Uncle John, laugh if you want to. Don't hold it back."

Thus, Mr. Zhang couldn't help laughing out loud. He didn't forget to start the car and asked earnestly, "Shall I send you back to your apartment now?"

Gavin didn't expect that Uncle John really dared to smile so unscrupulously, so he replied with a "hmm" in a muffled voice.

In the apartment, Wendy walked to the balcony and saw Gavin's car leaving.

Uncle John drove very steadily, and the white Land Rover soon disappeared from her view.

She didn't go back to her room. Instead, she slowly pressed her body against the railing and looked at the lights of the families afar.

She understood his intention when Gavin said that she could lose her temper, and asked her not to be wronged.

The key point was that she didn't care at all.

She didn't care if Connell left her alone, cared about her feelings, and was concerned about her.

In fact, Connell couldn't affect her emotions. She didn't even feel anything when Connell had gone too far.

Therefore, what Gavin said to her was reasonable, but she didn't need it at all.

It just so happened that she couldn't tell Gavin what she cared more about was whether he cared about her feelings or not.

Now the answer seemed to be positive.

However, he cared about her the way a brother treated his younger sister. He did not have the feelings for her as she expected.

Wendy did not know whether to be happy or sad.

After a long while, she returned to her room.

After taking a shower, she took out the spray from the bag of the drugstore, shook it, and sprayed it on the bruise on her wrist.

The dark brown medicine, with the fragrance of mint, was applied to her wrist and cooled her skin. Then, a thin film was formed.

Wendy put the medicine away and found that it was still early. Anyway, she couldn't fall asleep, so she simply took out the book to review.

If she got into the postgraduate study in the United States, she might be able to stay away from all this, including her... Romance with Connell.

At this time, Connell, who was dozens of kilometers away, would never have thought that he had become the one that Wendy wanted to stay away from.

He stared at the doctor and ordered in surprise. "Pardon?"

The doctor really did not understand what Young Master Wesley was thinking.

Usually, when people heard that their injuries weren't serious, they would be very pleased. However, this young master was actually unhappy and repeatedly confirmed it with him.

The doctor felt hopeless and repeated himself. "Master Wesley, you just sprained your wrist, and the bone is not hurt. Apply some medicine and rest for a few days. You will recover soon. You don't have to worry too much."

Connell was really angry now.

With a "bah", he slammed his sound left hand on the table and threatened rudely. "I don't care! As for the medical record and the examination results, you must record that my bone is broken!"

The doctor wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, "Young Master Wesley, forging medical record is illegal. Besides, the examination report has come out. I... Can't change it!"

Connell was getting angrier and glared at him. "Then let's do another examination and make another report!"

"It doesn't work." The doctor said, "The medical record will live with you forever. If I record it wrong, it will mislead the doctor's judgment in the future. No hospital dares to do such a thing. Young Master Wesley, you'd better find another way."

Finding it hopeless, Connell didn't bother to argue with the doctor anymore. He angrily swung his hand, which was heavily wrapped up like a pig's trotter, and went home.

Qin Lin, who was about the same age as Dolly, was waiting for him at home.

Qin Lin had been engaged in the business circles with great ease for many years, malicious and ruthless. He was sitting upright in the living room with a financial magazine in his hand, with obvious displeasure in his look.

Connell spiritlessly walked over and said, "Dad, I'm back."

Qin Lin gave a look at Connell's hand wrapped in gauze and asked, "Is the fight over?"

"Since you've received the news, you should know that I didn't really fight with them." Connell complained. "Is it interesting to ask me about this on purpose?"

"Brat!" Qin Lin suddenly stood up and pretended to beat Connell. "Ever since you were young, I've told you to stay calm and consider the consequences of your actions when you are in trouble. But now, you need an outsider to stop you!"

Connell waved his injured hand and said, "See? Your son's injury was caused by that 'outsider'. My bone is almost broken!"

Qin Lin's face darkened. "What happened?"

Connell told his father everything. In the end, he said angrily, "Gavin is the son of Auntie Yunjin, and I am your son. Even if he doesn't respect you, he should respect Auntie Yunjin!"

Qin Lin found another important point in Connell's words. "What's going on between Gavin and Wendy?"

According to Connell's words, it seemed that their feelings for each other were more than just the affection between siblings.

Connell sneered and said, "No matter what's going on between them, it's impossible for siblings to establish the love relationship!"

Qin Lin was stunned and looked at Connell. "Who told you that Wendy and Gavin were blood siblings?"

"..." Connell said after a while, "Wendy told me personally when she was with me."

Connell was young and aggressive. He rarely hesitated when speaking and doing things.

Qin Lin had already noticed something fishy. He said with a sigh, "Connell, for your own good, I must tell you one thing. But you have to promise me that unless the person involved in this matter makes the truth public, you will never tell others about it."

Outside of work, Connell rarely saw his father be so serious. He nodded and listened carefully.

But after listening to his father's words, he was completely stunned...
