erhaps because of the after-effects of the red packet incident, Gavin began to fear Wendy's tears.

He looked away, refusing to answer Wendy's question.

Wendy wiped away her tears. "Gavin, look at me!"

She knew Gavin too well. He was always the one who could make others feel out of breath. How could he avoid others' eyes?

Unless he was guilty.

In a split second, Wendy thought of another possibility-

Gavin clearly knew that it was Blake who controlled everything behind her back, but he still hurt her with cold words. Maybe it was not because he liked Blake, but...

He was just taking advantage of Blake!

If there was nothing wrong with his feelings for her, why would he take advantage of Blake?

After thinking it through, Wendy burst into laughter. She narrowed her eyes and looked at Gavin in a good mood. "Brother, why don't you dare to look at me? Are you guilty?"

"..." Gavin stopped looking away and glared at Wendy coldly. "Don't change the topic."

"You're the one who changed the topic!" Wendy said firmly, "Gavin, Connell was right. You and Blake are not in a relationship at all. You're just acting before me, right?"

Wendy approached the truth in an overwhelming manner. Gavin could only hide his panic with his superficial indifference. He said lightly, "I'm not as boring as you."

His so-called "boring" referred to the fake relationship between Wendy and Connell. Of course, Wendy could understand it.

Wendy snorted and said, "I pretended to be Connell's girlfriend in order to let Mom feel relieved to reveal your family background. Our original intention is good. If you think we're boring, then you and Blake are shameless!"

Gavin squinted, and there was a threatening look in his eyes.

Wendy was not afraid at all. She raised her chin and said with confidence, "You're the one I like. You also like me, but you're pretending that you've fall in love with Blake. Aren't you shameless? Or are you a rogue?"

Gavin just thought that Wendy was making a mess. He ignored her and asked sarcastically, "Did you learn Mandarin from an American?"

"Hmph!" Wendy pursed her lips and raised her eyes, looking very proud. "Gavin, it's useless to change the topic in this way. It'll only make me think you're a goward!"

Gavin calmly corrected, "It's 'coward'."

Wendy suddenly laughed. "You admit that you are a coward? So you admit that you like me!"

Only then did he realize that Wendy did it on purpose.

But he had no way to deal with her.

Gavin could not deal with her, so he chose to avoid her. He turned around and was about to leave the ward.

Wendy noticed it and shouted angrily, "Gavin, you come back!"

Gavin acted as if he did not hear Wendy's voice and walked out without looking back.

In a hurry, Wendy used her trump card. "Gavin, I have to go to the bathroom..."

Gavin turned around and looked at Wendy. When he was about to counter her trick, Wendy said first, "I don't want a nurse. I just want you! If you leave now, I will tell my cousin that you bullied me tomorrow. Let's see what you can do!"

Gavin instantly had a headache.

Joanne and Freya couldn't understand why he, regardless of anything, had allowed Blake to force Wendy into a corner so that she had an accident. If Wendy complained about him tomorrow, Freya would definitely not let him go.

Wendy calmly waited for Gavin's response. Sure enough, he turned back and gave her a deep look.

She turned a blind eye to Gavin's displeasure, smiled brightly, and opened her arms to him. "Pick me up."

Her right hand and right leg were both fractured to some extent, and her left leg was also slightly sprained. Indeed, she could not go to the bathroom by herself.

Gavin could only pick her up and carry her to the bathroom.

Wendy couldn't use her right hand, so she held Gavin tightly with her left hand and secretly rejoiced in her heart.

She had a car accident, but she saw a glimmer of hope.

She didn't believe that Gavin would love persons like Blake, so she would definitely prove that Gavin and Blake were in a fake relationship!

After washing her hands, Wendy held the armrest beside the washstand and barely supported herself. She shouted, "Gavin."

"..."

Even after a long while, Gavin didn't respond, nor did he come in.

Wendy was stunned and started to panic as if she had lost something very important.

If Gavin left just like this, he would not only be a bastard but also a coward!

At this moment, Gavin pushed the door open and saw Wendy's red eyes in the mirror.

Why was she crying? Did she think that he was gone?

Gavin explained somewhat unnaturally, "I just received a call."

Wendy blinked her eyes and held back her tears. She pretended to be indifferent and replied, "Oh, okay."

Gavin didn't say anything else. He walked over, picked up Wendy, and returned to the room.

It was said to be a ward for a single person, but it was actually very small. It only took a few steps to get close to the bed. Gavin placed Wendy on the bed. When he was about to let her lie down, she suddenly grabbed his clothes and said softly, "Gavin, don't go."

Her watery eyes were pleading, and Gavin couldn't help being soft-hearted. He could only say with his last reason, "Weren't you asking me out just now?"

"You came back yourself!" Wendy said as if her words were very reasonable, "Now I don't allow you to go."

Gavin felt a dull pain in his temple as if he had suffered a heavy blow. "Release me first."

Wendy emphasized stubbornly, "Promise me that you won't leave, or I won't release you!"

Gavin found her unreasonable. "Is it interesting for you to do this?"

"Yes." Wendy showed a charming smile. "In this way, at least I can stop you from seeing Blake who is coquettish, oh no, pure..."

Gavin knew what Wendy was about to say, so he stopped her, "Wendy!"

"..." Wendy obediently shut up and looked at Gavin with a grievance. "Why are you still protecting Blake?"

Gavin glared at her as if he didn't hear her question. "Who did you learn those words from?"

Before, Wendy would only call him "bastard" even if she got extremely angry.

But what was she about to say just now? A coquettish bitch?

Gavin didn't believe that her Mandarin teacher had taught her those words, and Dolly and Joanne wouldn't allow her to swear so casually.

Wendy suddenly smiled, and she was so happy that her eyes lit up. "You just care about those words? Well, I learned them online. It's so easy to learn and use them. So nice!"

Gavin was so angry that his temples were stinging. He wanted to knock Wendy hard, but she was injured all over her body. So, he could only restrain this impulse and compromise with her. "I won't go. You let me go first."

Wendy slowly loosened Gavin's clothes. She took the mirror on the bedside table and looked at her face in the mirror.

Just now, in the bathroom, she found that there was a large piece of gauze on her right forehead. Her forehead must have been hurt in the car accident.

She tore open the medical tape, and sure enough, she had four stitches on her forehead.

"In the future... there will be a scar, won't there?"

Wendy put down the mirror and slowly lay down, looking upset.

No matter how careless she was, she still paid attention to her face. Probably no girl was willing to... have a scar on her face.

Gavin was not used to Wendy's sudden silence and said, "I will ask someone to help you find the medicine to remove scars. Don't worry too much."

Wendy said with a sullen look, "What if I have scars on my face forever?"

"I'll think they're cute." Gavin softened his tone and touched Wendy's head. "Go to sleep first."

Wendy looked at Gavin worriedly. You've promised that you wont leave!"

Gavin emphasized, "I'm not leaving."

He didn't intend to leave. Anyway, Wendy had countless ways to call him back.

Wendy was still dubious. She asked someone to bring a clean pillow and a clean quilt over. When she saw Gavin lying on the sofa, she was relieved to close her eyes and soon fell asleep.

Gavin couldn't fall asleep, not because the sofa was uncomfortable, but because things were getting more and more complicated.

It was not easy for him to make up his mind and let Blake stir up trouble. Just as Wendy was about to give up on him, a sudden car accident changed everything.

The truth surfaced, and then everything returned to its original point.

This time, Wendy probably wouldn't give up on him no matter what would happen.

Gavin sighed softly. When he was about to fall asleep, he heard Wendy moan in a low voice on the bed.

He got up and walked to the bedside. He saw Wendy curling up in the quilt with a frown, and she looked as if she was about to cry. It was obvious that she was uncomfortable.

"Wendy." Gavin asked her, "Does it hurt somewhere?"

Wendy frowned and opened her eyes. "The hand..."

Gavin subconsciously looked at Wendy's right hand. It should be that the anesthesia effect had been gone.

"Wait a minute." Gavin stroked her forehead and comforted her, "I'll call the doctor."

On the way back to the ward, Gavin told the doctor that her family hadn't told Wendy that her right hand might be injured forever.

The doctor nodded and said, "I know how to tell Wendy. But you'd better tell her the truth as soon as possible. She is going to be a doctor, so it's easy for her to find something wrong."

"..." Gavin didn't speak.

The doctor checked Wendy's hand and said that the anesthesia effect was gone, so the pain was inevitable. If she couldn't bear it, he could prescribe some painkillers for her, but she should know that the painkillers had side effects.

Wendy was hesitating when Gavin said, "Just prescribe some."

The nurse quickly brought the painkillers. Gavin poured a glass of water and handed it to Wendy together with the medicine. He said, "Go to bed after eating some."

Wendy took the water with her left hand and looked at Gavin suspiciously. "Why do you want me to sleep so much?"

He said grumpily, "You were too noisy when you were awake."

Wendy habitually wanted to kick Gavin but found that she couldn't move her broken hands and feet at all, so she could only take medicine obediently.

Gavin put the glass on the bedside table. "Does it still hurt?"

"Do you think that it's a panacea?" Wendy couldn't help complaining, "It will take at least half an hour for it to work. But why does my hand hurt so much?"

There was something flashing across Gavin's eyes, and he said calmly, "The doctor said that your right hand was seriously injured."

Wendy glared at Gavin and said, "It's all your fault! By the way, I haven't forgiven you yet."

Gavin,"..."
