Chapter 786 Wendy, You Have an Important Task

In the end, Wendy managed to calm down and look at Henry.

Henry patted Wendy's hand gently and said, "Don't worry too much. Gavin's life is not in danger for the time being. We will do our best to help him recover. Please trust Gavin and us."

Wendy asked with tears, "What can I do?"

She was also a doctor. She had prevented some people from being taken away by death. At this time, she was desperately eager to do something for Gavin.

Henry smiled at Wendy and said, "Miss Moore, you have a very important task-to stay by Gavin's side. He told me that he is more eager to survive because you are in this world. Your companionship is extremely important to Gavin."

"It is probably the kindest comfort in the world, isn't it?"

Wendy's cold body finally felt a little warm. She nodded and said, "Thank you, Henry."

"You're welcome." Henry made a solemn promise to Wendy. "When I was young, I couldn't help Gavin's father triumph over his illness and left a regret in your adoptive mother's life. For so many years, I've been studying how to fight against it. I swear, I won't leave such a regret to you."

With Henry's words, Wendy felt much more relieved.

She wiped away her tears, held Gavin's hand tightly, and quietly accompanied him.

No matter what would happen next, she would not let him face it alone.

Upon arrival at the hospital, Gavin was quickly sent to the emergency room.

The nurse kept Wendy out of the emergency room and quickly closed the door.

Wendy feebly held on to the door. In the end, she couldn't hold back her tears and cried while leaning against the door.

When she was working in the hospital, she watched some people part with their love inside and outside this door. At that time, she just felt sorry for the patients' families outside the door.

Now, she was the one outside the door, and she had truly experienced the anxiety and fear.

It turned out that it was so torturous.

Joanne came over and put Brian's coat on Wendy again.

When she got out of the ambulance, Wendy ran so fast, regardless of the coat that had dropped.

The winter was coming, and the wind was getting more and more chilling. Wendy only wore a thin dress. If it went on like this, before Gavin woke up, she would fall ill first.

"Wendy, put on the coat first. Don't catch a cold." Joanne's voice was soft, like the sunshine in the winter morning, making her feel warm.

Wendy also understood that if she wanted to accompany Gavin and take care of him, she had to stay healthy first.

Gavin had already collapsed, and she had to straight her back and stand up.

Wendy nodded and put on Brian's coat. As soon as she lowered her head, her tears fell on the coat. The crystal-clear teardrops kept falling down and finally seeped into the cloth.

"Don't cry." Joanne wiped away the tears on Wendy's face with a handkerchief, took her to Brian, and asked, "What's wrong with Gavin? Is it serious?"

"Gavin has an inherited disease." Brian briefly explained Gavin's condition. Finally, he looked at Wendy and said, "We have hired the best experts to treat Gavin. The leading expert is Henry, who has studied this disease for more than 20 years. We also have Dr. Sanchez now. Wendy, don't worry too much. Gavin will definitely be cured."

Wendy uttered a "hmm" in a low voice, and her tears suddenly went out of control again.

She turned around and threw herself into Joanne's arms. She cried in a cracked voice, "Cousin, why did this happen? Why..."

Joanne also didn't know why, but she knew that it was unfair.

Gavin and Wendy had experienced so much, and when they could finally get together, Gavin was afflicted with the disease.

It was not a test, but the unfairness of fate.

People couldn't write their own fates in person, but they could face and solve problems and change their fates.

Joanne held Wendy in her arms. She was not in a hurry to comfort her, but let her cry hard.

At this time, crying was the only way to help Wendy vent her feelings. If she held back her tears, Joanne would not be at ease.

For a moment, the whole corridor was filled with Wendy's heartbreaking cries.

Freya felt distressed when she heard that. She held Chris's hand tightly. "I also want to ask why. Wendy and Gavin are finally together. Why would it happen to them? Can we help Gavin?"

After getting married, Freya lived a more carefree life than before. It had been a long time since Chris heard her speak in such a distressed voice.

Chris held Freya in his arms and said, "We've done what we can. We'll leave the rest to the doctors."

Freya buried her head deeper in Chris's arms and made a reluctant sound of "hmm".

At the same time, Wendy finally stopped crying.

Joanne stroked Wendy's head. "It has already happened, and we can only face it. Wendy, you stay with Gavin, and we will stay with you. Let's overcome this difficulty together."

"Gavin's father died when he was very young." Wendy's tearful eyes were full of panic and uneasiness. "Cousin, I..."

"Don't be afraid." Joanne held Wendy's hand tightly and comforted her. "Wendy, you have to think in a different way. Henry has been studying this disease for 20 years, and the medical community will do something about it. Besides, we have Dr. Sanchez now."

Wendy nodded, and her uneasiness was finally relieved. She let go of Joanne and made a decision at the same time.

More than an hour later, the door of the emergency room was pushed open, and a group of doctors and nurses pushed Gavin out. Noah was also in this group of people.

Wendy almost rushed to Noah and Henry and asked, "How's Gavin going?"

Noah gave Wendy a reassuring look and said, "Gavin has survived this crisis. He will wake up by tomorrow morning. Don't cry. Go to the ward to accompany him."

"Thank you, Dr. Sanchez."

Wendy followed the nurses to send Gavin into a suite for a single person. The others also came over, but in order to not affect Gavin, they stayed in the living room.

"Gavin is okay for the time being. You can go back first." Noah said, "I'll go through the hospitalization procedures. Also, I'll stay in the hospital. If anything happens, I'll inform you immediately. You can rest assured."

Noah was thoughtful enough, but Joanne was not relieved to leave Wendy alone to accompany Gavin. She was not only worried that another attack of Gavin's illness would happen but also worried that Wendy would not be able to hold on.

However, Aiden and Romy also needed to be taken care of, so she and Brian had to go back. Freya was pregnant, and it was impossible for Chris to stay.

"I'll stay." Wesley said, "You go back."

"..."

Although it was inappropriate to say so, Wesley, who was single, was indeed the best candidate to stay.

"There's one more thing. Henry asked me to remind you," Noah added, "that you should consider whether to inform Gavin's mother or not."

After leaving the ward, Joanne and Chris began to discuss this matter.

Joanne said, "Auntie has always been sorry about abandoning Gavin. Now that Gavin is ill, she must want to accompany him. But if we tell her, she'll be very worried. Brother, what should we do?"

Chris hesitated for a moment before making a decision. "Tell her about it. If we had told her earlier about the matter of Gavin and Wendy, they would not have suffered the attack of public opinions. Since Gavin is ill, we should tell her."

Brian looked at the time and calculated the time difference between Arlington and Australia. He said, "It's too late today. Let's tell her tomorrow."

Joanne nodded, and they left the hospital together, leaving Wesley, Noah, and Wendy, who was accompanying Gavin in the ward.

"I can't sleep tonight." Noah looked at Wesley and asked, "What about you? Where will you live?"

Wesley was not picky about food and accommodation, so he said, "Find me a spare room. The closer it is to Gavin's ward, the better."

Noah made an arrangement for it and came back to tell Wesley that he could live next door. It was also a suite, and it was for patients. But as for Brother Wesley, living in a ward should not be taboo.

Wesley gloomily looked at Noah, who was wearing a teasing look, and asked, "Aren't you busy?"

Noah remembered Kai's words that Wesley was good at assigning tasks to those who were not busy.

He adjusted the frame of his glasses and said, "Actually, I'm quite busy." After that, he quickly disappeared from the ward.

Wesley walked out, knocked on the door, and then pushed it open. He saw Wendy sitting by the bed, wearing a dull look and staring at Gavin, who was unconscious.

Wendy slowly raised her head and saw Wesley. She opened her mouth, only to find that she had cried so much just now that she couldn't make a sound.

Wesley felt a little bit sorry for the little girl. With the coldness in his eyes fading away, he said, "I'm next door. Call me if anything happens."

Wendy nodded. "Okay."

Wesley hesitated for a moment, then he took a warm blanket and handed it to Wendy. "It's getting cold. Don't catch a cold."

Wendy's eyes turned red and were full of tears again, but she finally held them back and nodded hard.

Wesley didn't know how to comfort others. He could only close the door and leave the room to Wendy before going to sleep next door.

Only Wendy was still awake in the large suite.

Wendy was a doctor, after all. When facing a patient whose condition had suddenly changed dramatically, she could calm down in an instant.

Now, Gavin was the patient. After so long, she finally accepted the fact calmly.

Next, Gavin would have a tough fight. If she wanted to stay with him, she had to stay healthy.

She released Gavin's hand and put the blanket from Wesley over her. The chilling feeling on her back finally disappeared.

She forced a smile and grabbed Gavin's hand. "I'll be here with you. Go to sleep."

Gavin had always been vigilant. If it were in the past, he would have woken up long ago.

But now, it was obvious that he didn't feel anything when she touched him.

It didn't matter. She could wait. She could wait for him to wake up and recover.

No matter how long, she was willing to wait for him as long as Gavin could get better.

Just like what Gavin had said, except for him, she didn't want anyone else to be her partner in her life.

She and Gavin had overcome the difficulties and hardships that they had experienced in the past.

As long as they didn't give up, this winter would definitely pass. They would definitely be able to see the rainbow again, wouldn't they?
