Yuna tried to brainstorm on possible ways to protect Wendy.

At the same time, Wendy became angry.

After Frank, who had made improper sexual advances to the nurse, was accused by the hospital's lawyers, he had to apologize to the nurse. The matter could have ended there.

However, the well-informed media managed to get wind of the incident and published the news.

The boss of a construction company was dragged into a scandal by this piece of news.

During the interview, the nurse specially thanked Gavin. Only then did the outside world know that Gavin was the person in charge of this hospital.

Gavin was not interested in the profit he would have gained if he had cooperated with Frank and instead chose to protect the personal safety and rights of the nurse in the hospital. Thus, he was highly praised by the public. His reputation on the Internet was totally different from that of Frank, who was widely denounced by the public.

Frank was really indignant and then revealed that Gavin had several attending doctors. He insisted that Gavin was seriously ill and even released a malicious speculation that Gavin might not be able to leave the hospital alive.

The media asked Lambert Group for confirmation and received a reply that Gavin's current condition was very good. The Lambert Group also thanked everyone for their concern.

The media asked shrewdly, "What about in the future? Will Gavin's condition improve in the future? What's wrong with him? Will he recover at all?"

Lambert Group did not reply to any of the media's further questions. Frank became more unscrupulous and even implied to the netizens that Gavin could have an incurable disease, so Lambert Group could not answer the media's questions at all.

Wendy almost cried in anger and she was about to look for Frank, but was stopped by Gavin.

"Why are you stopping me from going to him?" Wendy said angrily, "I'm going to bring Hazel along so he can beat him up!"

"Frank has recovered and has been discharged from the hospital. Where are you going to beat him up?" Gavin smiled. "I'm not angry. Why are you so angry?"

What Wendy was really angry about was the term "incurable disease" he used to describe Gavin's illness.

What she was most afraid of was that the experts could do nothing about Gavin's illness. It was as if Frank actually laid a curse on Gavin by saying that his illness was terminal.

Just as Hazel had said, it was good of her to merely beat him up!

While sitting and picking viciously at the sofa, she thought of something in a split second. "Did Frank stay in the department of nephrology?"

"Yep." Gavin stared at Wendy. "What are you going to do?"

"Nothing." Wendy smiled and took Gavin's laptop. She opened it and said, "I'm just going to remind Frank that his kidney ailment is not just a minor problem and he should take care of himself after leaving the hospital and not to overtax his kidneys."

After thinking about Wendy's last sentence, Gavin found that the little girl knew a lot at a young age.

He grabbed the computer and found that Wendy was already at the desktop screen.

He frowned, looked at Wendy and asked, "What did you say on the Internet?"

"Don't worry." Wendy smiled and said, "I know what I'm doing."

In the afternoon, the news that Frank suffered from a kidney problem and had been hospitalized for treatment related to a certain function was widely spread on the Internet.

Netizens disliked Frank because of his inappropriate behavior toward a nurse. Seeing this news, everyone was naturally very happy and started to tease Frank.

In just a few hours, the emojis of "Frank is impotent" came out.

Frank finally had a taste of the "dislikes" from the Internet world, so he had to call Gavin and Wendy to apologize.

Wendy snorted and said, "It's useless to apologize. I want you to tell everyone that it was purely your malicious speculation about Gavin being in a poor condition."

"Okay, okay." Frank did not dare to refuse. "Miss Moore, as long as you're happy, I will do anything!"

Frank finally understood that in the Lambert Group, the first person he could not afford to offend was Joanne, followed by Wendy.

If he offended Joanne, he would be killed by Brian and probably no one wanted to test Brian's means.

If he offended Wendy, he would be killed by Wendy herself. Although the little girl's means were not as sinister as Brian's, she was insidious, too insidious!

Gavin hung up and looked at Wendy. "You're not angry now, are you?"

Wendy pursed her lips and said, "Frank is not worthy of my anger from morning till now."

A few days later, Gavin was treated for the second time.

This time, when he came out of the operating room, Gavin's face was paler than the last time and he slept for a longer period too.

Wendy felt her heart prickling in fear. She looked at Noah with mixed feelings and said, "You told me last time that the next treatment would be more painful. You were not kidding, right?"

Noah said, "No, I was serious."

Wendy was speechless.

Seeing that Wendy was about to cry, Noah was in a daze for a while as he thought of the violent little girl who would never cry. After a long time, he came to his senses and said with a smile, "Don't worry. If this treatment is effective, Gavin will feel much better next time."

In fact, the effect of this treatment was much better than what all the doctors had imagined. Not to mention the precise examinations done by the doctors, it could be seen with the naked eye that he was much better.

Wendy was so happy that she wanted to give Noah and Henry a hug, but she was stopped by Gavin before she could do anything of that sort.

Gavin said, "If you want a hug, you should hug me instead."

Wendy was very obedient and threw herself into Gavin's arms. "Gavin, you have to be in this condition always."

"You have to be like this always and improve rapidly."

Gavin kissed the top of her head. "Okay."

After another day of observation, Henry told Gavin that if he wanted to leave the hospital, he could stay at home for a few days. If he was comfortable staying at home, he could come back when it was time to receive the next treatment.

Wendy asked, "When will the next treatment be?"

"Half a month later," Henry said. "At present, the treatment is effective for Gavin, but it can't be too frequent. We have to make allowances for a recovery period."

Gavin held Wendy's hand and said, "Pack up. Let's go home today."

Wendy was not as excited as she had expected. She released Gavin's hand, looked at him and said, "You should not leave the hospital."

There was worry and uneasiness hidden in her eyes. Upon closer scrutiny, there was also a trace of fear in her eyes.

Gavin understood. He held Wendy's hand and comforted her in a soft voice, "Wendy, I'm better now. It's not a problem for me to stay at home."

Wendy still shook her head. "What if you collapse again like last time?"

"I promise you it will not happen." Gavin said, "Even if such a terrible thing really happens, Noah is downstairs. Rest assured, okay?"

"..."

Wendy pursed her lips and did not speak.

She also wanted to go home, but she was worried if he was not under the care of Henry and the other experts.

Seeing Wendy wavering, Gavin bent down and whispered in her ear, "It's inconvenient for us to do lots of things in the hospital. Let's stay at home for a few days, okay?"

"Boom-" Wendy's cheeks instantly turned red. She looked at Henry standing beside her and wanted to plunge her head into Gavin's chest.

Gavin patted Wendy's head and comforted her with a smile. "Don't worry. Henry doesn't understand."

Wendy grabbed hold of Gavin's clothes, bit her lip and said, "You can go home, but as soon as you feel uncomfortable, you must come back to the hospital."

"Okay." Gavin kissed Wendy and said meaningfully, "However, I won't feel uncomfortable at home this time. I will only..."

He didn't continue, but Wendy seemed to know what his unspoken words meant. Her face was so red, it was as if it was almost on fire.

In the afternoon, the two of them packed up and went to Prime Villas first.

On the way, Wendy was in an unusually good mood. She chatted casually with Gavin, but later she noticed that Gavin spoke lesser and lesser, while staring at the outside rearview mirror of the car from time to time.

"Why is he staring into the rearview mirror?"

She stretched out her hands and held Gavin's face. "Gavin, are you tired?"

"No." Gavin held Wendy in his arms and looked down at her. "What were you talking about just now?"

"Well, I said..."

Wendy continued speaking. She was so engrossed that she didn't notice that after a few minutes, Gavin's eyes were again looking into the rearview mirror.

This time, Gavin finally confirmed one thing.

When they arrived at the Lu family's residence, Joanne had already prepared a hearty feast. Most of the dishes were Gavin's and Wendy's favorite ones. Of course, Wendy's favorite soup dumplings were there too.

After the meal, Gavin called Brian. "Let's go to the study."

After entering the study, Gavin closed the door.

Brian vaguely realized that it might not be a simple thing. He asked, "Did you find something?"

Gavin nodded. "When I came back from the hospital just now, I found that some people were following Wendy and me from the hospital gate."

Brian frowned and asked, "Rowdy?"

"It's indeed Rowdy's way of tracking." After a pause, Gavin turned to ask, "But I don't understand why Rowdy would still follow me."

When he was still working at Lambert Group, Rowdy did have a reason to deal with him.

But now, he had resigned and he was even a patient. He was no longer a threat to Rowdy, so Rowdy had no reason to follow him.

However, Wendy was also in the car at that time.

Brian soon understood Gavin's concern. "Are you suspecting that Rowdy's target is Wendy? Why?"

"We should investigate Wendy's family background," Gavin said. "According to the records of the case, Wendy's parents were immigrants from Australia. But apart from this, the police could not find any other clues or even any traces about their parents. Don't you think it's strange?"

It was strange indeed.

Two adults would always have some family members who were still around in this world.

However, after the car accident, Wendy became an orphan. The Australian police could not get in touch with any of her parents' relatives at all.

"There's one more thing." Gavin looked at Brian and said seriously, "I've investigated the car accident which Wendy's parents were in. It... was very similar to Uncle Lambert's car accident."

"What?"

Brian narrowed his eyes in an instant and his tone was as chilly as the cold wind blowing outside the window.

Gavin turned on the tablet, searched for a document and presented it to Brian.

After reading it, Brian immediately asked Wesley to investigate the identity of Wendy's parents.

Gavin was right. The car accident was exactly the same as his father's car accident which had been deliberately caused by Rowdy.

However, when Wendy's parents died, Rowdy was still young. It should have been caused by other people in the Kent family.

If Wendy's parents were not simply immigrants, then Rowdy must have a special reason to keep an eye on Wendy.

There was something Rowdy wanted from Wendy and she was already in danger without being aware of it.

Brian reminded Gavin. "Don't let Wendy go out alone during this period."

"I know." After a pause, Gavin added, "I'll go back to work tomorrow."

Brian knew that Gavin was doing that for Wendy's sake. After thinking for a while, he said, "Explain it clearly to Wendy."

If Wendy misunderstood and thought he was the one who asked Gavin to go back to work, the little girl would definitely complain to Joanne.

At that time, he would not be able to clear his name even if he had a second mouth.

Mr. Brian refused to be a villain.
