rime Villas.

Brian and Joanne had dinner with Iris, and then they took the two little guys home.

As soon as they got home, Joanne received a call from Freya, who mysteriously said that she was going to tell her something great.

Joanne asked curiously, "What is it?"

Freya chuckled and said word by word, "Aiden and Romy will have a little sister! Well-maybe a little brother!"

Joanne was stunned, and then she exclaimed, "You are pregnant!"

Freya laughed happily from the bottom of her heart. "Yeah!"

After hanging up the phone, Joanne rushed to Brian. "Honey, I have good news!"

Brian also just ended the call from Wesley. He smiled and said, "What a coincidence! I also have good news."

"I'll say it first!" Joanne was so excited that she was like a child. She held Brian's hand tightly, and the smile on her lips was more brilliant than the blooming flowers. "I'm going to be an aunt!"

Brian couldn't react for a moment, and he narrowed his eyes unhappily. "Who asked you to be an aunt? Why didn't you discuss it with me first?"

He could spoil Joanne without any limits.

However, Joanne had to discuss with him first before getting in touch with other men.

Joanne couldn't help laughing. "Stupid! I mean, Freya is pregnant, and my brother is going to be a father!"

"..." Brian covered up his embarrassment with silence. After a moment, he said calmly, "Your brother must be very happy."

"Of course!" It was only then that Joanne remembered what Brian had just said. She asked, "What did you want to tell me just now?"

Brian said, "I told Wesley about Wendy's condition. A doctor whom Wesley knows might be able to help her recover."

"Really?" Joanne hurriedly asked, "What's the name of that doctor? Where is he now? When will he...?"

Ever since she learned that Wendy's right hand could not recover, Joanne had been worried that Wendy would suffer a blow.

Today, Wendy accepted her injury in a calm and optimistic way, and Joanne began to feel sorry for her again. She was very clear that Wendy was only seemingly optimistic.

Even a sage would not be able to calmly accept it if his dream was destroyed.

Now that there was a doctor who could help Wendy recover, it was definitely reasonable for her to be so excited.

Brian kissed Joanne's lips and motioned for her to calm down first. "The doctor is not in the country now. Wesley will come to Arlington in a few days, and he will come with the doctor."

"Well, that's okay." Joanne put her arms around Brian's waist. "Anyway, there are still consultations for Wendy these days."

Brian looked at Joanne with an ambiguous smile. "Aren't you worried anymore?"

Joanne shook her head. "I was worried before because I was afraid that Wendy would do something stupid like getting into a car accident after knowing her injury. Now that Gavin is staying with her, she is optimistic and in a good state. So, I don't think I have to worry about her anymore!"

"..." Brian did not say anything and was lost in thought.

Joanne poked his waist and looked up at him. "What's wrong?"

"Gavin has been in a good mood these two days." Brian wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. "He and Wendy...?"

Joanne shook her head. "I don't know. Wendy didn't tell me anything. Maybe they were frank with each other. As long as they don't hesitate, they will naturally be in a good mood."

"Huh?" Brian raised his eyebrows calmly. "So, were you in a bad mood before we got married?"

Brian's unspoken sentence was: Before she married him, Joanne had been thinking about him every day and was hesitant about his matters, wasn't she?

"..." Joanne looked at Brian speechlessly for a moment. "Mr. Lambert, you think too much. I was not hopeful about you then, so I didn't care about your matters at all!"

"..." Brian was very dissatisfied with her answer.

In order to show his dissatisfaction, Brian gently bit Joanne's lips, and then kissed her deeply, with his lips and tongue being entangled with hers. It seemed that he wanted to suck all the air out of her lungs by exchanging breaths...

Two days later.

The experts invited by Gavin arrived in Arlington. On the same day, he arranged for Wendy to have a re-check, and all the experts had a consultation together.

After the consultation, the director asked him to go to his office.

After graduating from college, Gavin returned to the country with Brian. He was like a fish in water in the business world. If there was someone who would be nervous in the confrontation, it would only be the other parties.

This was the first time in the past six or seven years that he had been so eager and nervous to hear an answer. He asked in a somewhat trembling voice, "Doctor Zhang, how is Wendy?"

The director sighed regretfully and said, "At present, it seems that there is no hope, but it is not completely hopeless. Transfer her to the Rehabilitation Department and continue to observe her condition. Maybe there will be a turning point."

Gavin had foreseen this terrible consequence, but when it came from the doctor's mouth, it meant that there was little hope for Wendy to recover.

He slowly clenched his fists, and the blue veins on the back of his hands bulged out, and the muscle lines on his arms gradually became clearer.

Dr. Zhang was about to persuade Gavin to calm down when he heard a "bang" sound. Gavin pounded hard on the table with his firm fist.

Fortunately, it was not on him.

Then, Dr. Zhang came to his senses and said, "Special Assistant Gavin, your hand..."

Gavin had great strength. Dr. Zhang couldn't deny it, but his desk was made of solid wood. Gavin's hand was not an ax. The table wouldn't be destroyed by his punch, but his hand must be hurt.

"I'm okay." Gavin said stiffly and left Dr. Zhang's office.

But he found that he had nowhere to go. In the end, he could only go to the smoking area.

Wendy's last hope was the expert consultation.

So many experts came over and just gave the same answer as Doctor Zhang's-there was little hope, but there might be a miracle. Don't give up yet.

Having little hope was actually the cruelest thing. It made people persevere, but it could also make them fail.

This kind of perseverance was very difficult, and the failure would certainly make people collapse.

He did not want Wendy to experience despair again.

Gavin smoked several cigarettes in succession and went to have fresh air for a while before returning to Wendy's ward.

Wendy watched a few episodes of American dramas and felt so bored. She put a pillow on her left leg which had recovered and then rested her head on it. She asked Gavin lazily, "Where did you go?"

"Something happened in the company, so I made several phone calls."

Gavin came over and wanted to continue to cover it up, but Wendy had already sharply noticed the wound on his hand.

"You went to see Dr. Zhang, didn't you?" Wendy held Gavin's right hand with bruises on the knuckles. "My diagnosis is not very satisfying, right?"

"..." Gavin stared at Wendy in silence for a long time. "Wendy, I'm sorry."

His voice was filled with guilt.

"..." Wendy tried her best to find her voice. "It is not your fault. Why are you apologizing?"

Perhaps finding her voice had exhausted her, Wendy still couldn't restrain herself, and she threw herself into Gavin's arms and burst into tears.

In front of Joanne and Freya, she had to be optimistic.

But in front of Gavin, she didn't have to.

Gavin held her in his arms, and his chin was against her head. Her tears soon wetted the clothes on his chest, burning his heart like fire.

Wendy was sad.

When she learned that Gavin and Blake were dating, she also cried, but she suffered heartache more at that time.

At this moment, she was sad.

Just like when she lost her favorite toy during her childhood and scraped her favorite bag when she grew older, she was extremely sad, but there was nothing she could do to save it.

If her right hand could not recover, her five-year study in the medical college would come to nothing. And her dream she had depended on when she was disappointed in love would become a bubble.

Now, she only had Gavin with her.

Wendy clung to Gavin's clothes and held him tighter.

Her tears soaked a large part of Gavin's clothes, and Wendy finally let go of him. Her eyes were as red as a rabbit's, and there was a layer of mist in her eyes, which made her look particularly pitiful.

Gavin wiped the tears away from Wendy's face and was about to say something when she had already spoken first. "Take care of the wound on your hand."

Gavin looked at the bruises on his knuckles, saying, "It doesn't matter."

"No! It will obviously affect your work." Wendy said jokingly and at the same time seriously, "If you shake hands with others with a bruised hand, you will be misunderstood as a masochist. How can you bear to ruin the reputation of the special assistant to the president of Lambert Group in this way?"

She made jokes just so as to divert her and Gavin's attention.

Gavin couldn't bear to see Wendy like this. He stroked her head and said, "Wendy..."

Wendy shook her head and said, "Don't say it again. From the moment I overheard your conversation with Dr. Zhang, I knew that my right hand might never recover. In fact, I was mentally prepared. I was just a little sad just now, but I'm okay now!"

"Don't give up." Gavin stroked her thin and pale fingers. "The doctor said that we still have hope."

Wendy nodded and said, "As long as you're with me, I won't give up!"

She seemed to take this sentence as her hobbyhorse, but Gavin just kissed her with a smile and asked, "What do you want to eat for dinner?"

Wendy casually told him the names of the dishes, but Gavin had no objections. He called the restaurant to send the dishes over.

After the meal, Gavin pushed Wendy downstairs to have fresh air. The nurse came over and told them that a young lady surnamed Lin outside the hospital wanted to see Wendy.

She asked Gavin to push her out. Sure enough, it was Blake.

The incident of the red packet some time ago had once caused a big uproar. After the truth was revealed, the netizens revealed the information of Blake and gradually cut her gentle and beautiful image into pieces.

Blake's image, which she had painstakingly built up, was destroyed like this, which was undoubtedly a devastating blow to her.

Therefore, it was easy to imagine how hard Blake had been living her life during this period of time.

Otherwise, Blake, who appeared in front of the hospital, would be the same as before.

Blake's facial features were still beautiful, but she was no longer in the mood to put on makeup. Her eyes were a little swollen, and she looked so pale that she did not look like a young girl in her prime. Her eyes were no longer clean and kind. Instead, there was a hint of resentment inside.

Her beauty and purity were gone.

Blake looked at Wendy and Gavin with hatred. "Are you simply standing together, or are you being together?"

Although there was little difference, Wendy understood what she meant.

Before Wendy answered her, Blake laughed and scolded her harshly.

"You are really good. You used me to prove that you like each other, causing such a big trouble to me. And now you are happily together!?"
