Henry had specially emphasized that the four or five days after Gavin's treatment was meant to be his recuperation period.

Wendy remembered that well, so she urged Gavin to rest as soon as they returned to the apartment.

Gavin gave Wendy a long goodnight kiss. Then, he laid down on the bed with her in his arms and soon fell asleep.

The following day, Wendy realized why Gavin was so obedient.

Not long after dawn, Wendy opened her sleepy eyes and saw Gavin standing by the bed, dressed in a formal suit and straightening his tie.

She rubbed her eyes and sat up. She looked at Gavin carefully and nodded with certainty. "Very handsome! But where are you going in that outfit?"

"To the company."

Gavin's tone was very calm, as if he was just talking about a trivial matter that had nothing to do with him.

However, Wendy seemed to have heard some explosive news. She jumped out of bed and stopped Gavin. "No!"

Before Gavin could explain, Wendy continued, "You are responding well to the treatment and Henry said you have to get more rest. You are not to go to work, unless you knock me out!"

"It's not that serious." Gavin held the back of Wendy's head, took her into his arms and kissed her forehead soothingly. "I'm just going to the company to deal with something instead of going back to work."

Wendy looked at him suspiciously. "Really?"

"You may not believe me." Gavin added, "But, think about it. Will Brian allow me to go back to work?"

"..." "Well, it is indeed impossible."

After thinking for a while, Wendy chose to believe in Brian and she asked Gavin, "When will you be back?"

Gavin said calmly, "After breakfast, I'll send you to Prime Villas. I don't want you to be bored at home alone. I'll pick you up in the afternoon."

"Fine."

Thinking of Romy and Aiden, Wendy finally felt happier.

After breakfast, they arrived at Prime Villas and found that Brian was still at home. At this time, there were only ten minutes left before it was time for him to start work.

Wendy slipped up to Joanne and asked in surprise, "Is my cousin-in-law going to play hooky?"

Joanne looked helpless. "When he was about to leave, Romy suddenly cried and refused to be carried by anyone except her father."

Wendy smiled and said, "Well, my cousin-in-law is more handsome when he is holding a child!" After that, she let her imagination run wild. "I don't know what Gavin will look like when he is holding his child..."

Joanne smiled and said meaningfully, "You'll know when you give birth to a baby, right?"

According to Wendy's character, she could have accepted this kind of remark without feeling any pressure.

However, she blushed and did not speak.

Joanne soon understood. "Wendy, you and Gavin haven't... yet?"

Wendy shook her head and sighed in disappointment. "Cousin, I just realized that it's not necessarily a good thing to have a strong boyfriend who has good self-control."

Joanne nodded with great approval. "How self-controlled he is at this early stage, how terrifying he will be at the later stage."

She had learned that from her experience.

Wendy did not quite catch what Joanne said. She looked at Joanne blankly, but Joanne just smiled mysteriously and said nothing.

At this time, Brian came over with Romy in his arms and said, "She fell asleep."

Joanne took a look and found that the little girl was sleeping soundly. She carefully picked her up and said, "I'll carry her up. You go to the company."

Watching Joanne carrying their daughter upstairs, Brian went out with Gavin.

As soon as they arrived at the company, Brian received a call from Wesley.

Brian put Wesley on speaker and putting the phone on the desk, asked directly, "Did you find anything?"

"Yep," Wesley said, "Wendy's biological parents turned out to be international criminal police. In those days, they used their identities as immigrants to hide their investigation into the Kent family's base. In the end, they found the information, but on the way back to the ICPO's headquarters, they encountered a car accident."

"The car accident was caused by the Kent family, right?" Brian asked, with certainty.

"It's Larry." Wesley said, "He is Rowdy's uncle, who was in charge of the Kent family's base in those days. In addition, Kim told me that Rowdy contacted Larry yesterday to inquire about Wendy's parents' car accident."

Sure enough, Rowdy was targeting Wendy!

Gavin's tone suddenly became chilly and he asked, "What does Rowdy suspect?"

"Rowdy is not suspicious, but he is afraid Wendy's parents might have left some clues about the base, so he sent people to follow Wendy." Wesley said, "Gavin, you'd better contact Wendy's adoptive father to check if anything happened after the car accident. I suspect that Conor has hidden something. Do you need me to help you find Conor's contact information?"

What Gavin feared most was that Wendy might be involved in the feud between them and Rowdy.

But it turned out that Wendy had been involved in the feud since she was very young. After so many years, the Kent family's claws were still reaching out for her.

Gavin clenched his fists and said, "It's not convenient for us to do this. You go and find it."

It was a piece of cake for Wesley. In less than three minutes, Gavin received a text message. It was a bunch of numbers.

Gavin dialed the number. After identifying himself to Conor, he asked directly about the car accident that year.

Conor talked with Gavin perfunctorily, without mentioning the car accident. It seemed that he did not trust Gavin.

The more he responded in this way, the more Gavin was sure that Conor was hiding something.

Gavin quickly calmed down and tried to win Conor's trust. "Uncle, Wendy's biological parents were not simply immigrants into Australia. They had another identity. That car accident was also caused by someone and you were just being used."

"That car accident was really not an accident?" Conor's voice suddenly became cold and serious. "Young man, can you tell me what happened?"

"Uncle, it's better that you do not know what is going on." Gavin said, "Wendy may be in danger now. In order to protect Wendy, I need to know if you have hidden anything after the car accident."

Conor said with a sigh, "I did hide something."

Gavin asked, "What is it?"

Conor was silent for a moment and said, "After I adopted Wendy, I received an anonymous letter. The sender asked me to take good care of Wendy."

Gavin frowned. "Did the sender reveal who he was?"

"No, but from his tone, I felt that he could be Wendy's relative. Maybe for some reason, it was not convenient for him to show up and adopt Wendy." After a pause, Conor continued, "I feel that the person was not just any ordinary person."

"Uncle, why are you so sure?" Gavin asked in confusion.

"According to the law at that time, it was a traffic offence. I should have been sentenced after the car accident." Conor said, "But after I decided to adopt Wendy, the police suddenly stopped looking for me. It should be the person who sent the letter who helped me settle everything."

"Did the sender appear later?" Gavin asked.

"No." Conor said, "I always thought that person would come back for Wendy, but he never appeared. In fact, I always had a feeling that the car accident involving Wendy's parents was not that simple and that it would act as a trigger for something again one day. As expected, that day has come. Is Wendy really in danger?"

"I will protect Wendy. You can rest assured." Gavin said, "There are two other things. Uncle Moore, I hope you can tell me the truth."

"Go ahead."

"Since you didn't leave the scene after the car accident, did you notice anything unusual about Wendy's parents?" Gavin asked, "Or, did Wendy's parents leave anything behind?"

"They didn't have time to do anything. It was the most terrible car accident I have ever seen. They died on the spot." Conor thought for a moment and added, "The only thing they left behind was the fortune bag for Wendy. I opened it and saw only an amulet and a bead inside."

Gavin picked up a pen and wrote down "fortune bag" on a piece of white paper. He drew a circle around it and asked, "After the car accident, who took care of or contacted Wendy before you adopted her?"

"Those days, the people in the welfare institution were responsible for taking care of Wendy," Conor said, "but I'm not sure if anyone tried to contact Wendy."

"I got it. Thank you, Uncle Moore."

Gavin ended the call and shook his head at Brian.

He could not be sure if there were any clues left to Wendy through the call.

According to Conor's words, after the car accident, Wendy's biological parents should have no chance to leave any clues to her.

Even if Wendy's parents left any clues in advance because they had predicted that their return would not go smoothly, the international criminal police might have contacted Wendy and taken away the clues when she was in the welfare institution.

But if there were really any clues, the base of the Kent family should have been destroyed a long time ago. It was impossible for Larry and Rowdy to have the power today.

So it was quite possible that Wendy's parents did not leave any clues.

But that was just a possibility.

Everything was still unknown.

Brian looked at the words "fortune bag" circled by Gavin and raised his eyebrows in confusion. "What do you mean?"

"Uncle Moore said that this was the only thing left behind by Wendy's parents. It's in my apartment now." Gavin said, "However, Uncle Moore opened it and saw only an amulet and a bead inside."

"Go back immediately and take it to Wesley." Brian said, "This is the only thing Wendy's parents left behind. Even if there were no clues in it, it is a hot potato for Wendy. Give it to Wesley so Rowdy can look for Wesley."

Gavin stared at Brian for a while and chuckled. "If Wendy is not in danger now, I really want to praise you-for being too insidious."

Brian tonelessly reminded Gavin. "Rowdy will likely send someone to break into your apartment and look for it. You can contact Wesley now and ask him to bring his people there. He should be able to intercept Rowdy's people in time."

Only then did Gavin realize that. He swore, picked up his phone and dialed Wesley's number. While saying something, he quickly left the company.
