With Wendy's sudden interruption, Gavin had calmed down, and his voice was less hoarse but still sexy. He asked, "What are you going to tell me?"

Wendy came to her senses from the daze. After hesitating for a long time, she said, "Last time, after we... did that, you fainted. Do you still remember it?"

At that time, Wendy and Gavin were at the top of the mountain. While Wendy was playing with Aiden and Romy, Emily suddenly came to tell her that Gavin had fainted.

Although Gavin woke up after returning to the hospital, his physical condition became much worse. It was not until recent days that he partly recovered and was able to receive treatment.

Although Gavin had long explained that his fainting had nothing to do with doing that stuff... it had caused psychological consequences on Wendy.

Gavin sighed and lay down with Wendy in his arms. He bitterly bit her wrist and said, "Remember, you owe me once."

Wendy turned her head and said, "I can't remember!"

Gavin was not anxious at all. He smiled and said carelessly, "It doesn't matter. At that time... the response in your body will tell me the truth."

"..."

Wendy felt that if the dialogue went on like this, her face would be red like burning fire.

She decisively pushed Gavin away and turned her back, saying to herself, "What to eat for dinner? Chinese food? Or foreign foods? French food, Thai food, Spanish food..."

Gavin knew that Wendy did it on purpose, so he did not expose her. He just sat up, took a document on the bedside table, and read it.

He could not help Brian rescue Iris, but he could help him run the company.

In the afternoon, Daisy came over. Gavin handed Daisy the ready documents and asked, "Where is Mr. Brian?"

"Mr. Brian is off work." Daisy asked in curiosity, "Special Assistant Gavin, if you are looking for Mr. Brian, why don't you just give him a call?"

"I was just asking." Gavin said casually, "you take the documents back to the company."

"Okay, wish you recovery. Goodbye."

After Daisy left, Gavin breathed a sigh of relief.

When he asked about Brian, Daisy did not have any special reaction, which indicated that Brian had always been calm. At least, he did not behave abnormally in the office.

Otherwise, Daisy would definitely have noticed it.

The whole thing should not have been completely out of Brian's control, and Rowdy had more or less scruples about Brian.

"What are you thinking about?" Wendy just went out to get the takeout. Gavin did not know when she returned to the ward, and he could even clearly see her skin as smooth as eggs when she suddenly bent down and appeared in front of Gavin.

Gavin quickly came to his senses and smiled. "Nothing."

"Then let's go out for dinner!" Wendy pulled Gavin out while saying, "I just asked Daisy, and she said that Cousin-in-law was off work. He should have been back to accompany my cousin."

In order not to let the little girl worry, Gavin replied with a "hmm" and did not correct her.

In fact, Brian might have left to deal with Iris's matter.

In fact, Wendy was right. Brian and Wesley had already returned to the top of the mountain.

When Wesley was not busy, he went to the hospital to see Aunt Helen. The old lady urged him to come back and accompany Yuna, so he had to come back first. He did not expect to meet Brian in the parking lot.

After a busy day, they could only be sure that Rowdy had transferred Iris elsewhere. As for the specific location, they had no idea.

Suppose that Kim knew about it, contacting Kim would be the fastest way.

However, in this way, they had to take the risk of Kims identity being exposed.

While Wesley was weighing the pros and cons, his mobile phone rang. It was a phone call from an unknown number.

However, Wesley knew who it was.

"Brian." Wesley called Brian, raised his mobile phone and said, "it's Kim."

It was very likely that Kim called at this time because there was news about Iris!

Brian took the phone and answered it immediately. "Kim, this is Brian."

Kim knew the relationship between Wesley and Brian. He was not very surprised that Brian picked up the phone.

Brian asked directly, "Is there any news about my mother?"

"Yes." Kim said, "I didn't know until today that Rowdy had kept Aunt Helen and Aunt Iris in his uncle's old house."

"We've already known it." Brian asked, "Do you know where Rowdy transferred my mother?"

"I heard that only Milo knows where Rowdy transferred Aunt Iris." Kim said, "but I know something else."

Although Brian was disappointed, it was understandable that Kim knew nothing about the location. After all, Rowdy had always been cautious.

Fortunately, Kim knew something else about his mom.

Brian asked Kim to continue. "What do you know?"

"Rowdy's son left with Aunt Iris." Kim said, "when Milo came back, he told us that Emily had threatened Rowdy and insisted that he must go with Aunt Iris and protect her."

"..." Brian was a little surprised and did not speak for a while.

Kim continued, "Mr. Lambert, you don't have to worry too much about Aunt Iris. With his son around, Rowdy should not lay a finger on Aunt Iris. Also, I'll constantly pay attention to it. Maybe I can find out where Rowdy transferred Aunt Iris."

"Okay." Brian said somewhat heavily, "Kim, thank you."

"My pleasure, Mr. Lambert." Kim said, "I know your relationship with Brother Wesley. I should help you. That's all. Rowdy has been very vigilant recently. I'm afraid that I will arouse Rowdy's suspicion if I continue."

"Okay." Brian reminded, "be careful."

Brian hung up the phone and returned it to Wesley.

Wesley had already guessed from Brian's look that the news brought by Kim was not Iris's exact location, but something else.

He asked, "What did Kim say?"

Brian asked for a cigarette from Wesley, took a drag on it, and slowly exhaled the smoke. Then he said, "He doesn't know where Rowdy transferred my mother. He only knows that Emily left with her."

"That kid?" Wesley thought of Aunt Helen's words and said, "Aunt Helen told me that after Emily went back, he was indeed doing her best to protect her and Aunt Iris. Maybe, you don't have to worry too much."

"Emily is Rowdy's son after all. Rowdy always has ways to deal with him." Brian took a deep drag on the cigarette and added, "we'd better hurry up."

Wesley nodded. "Let's go back first. Joanne is waiting for you."

Aiden and Romy were sleeping, and Joanne was sitting in the living room and kept looking outside. She was waiting for Brian to bring back some news about Iris.

She waited and waited for him. At the end of the day, Brian's figure finally appeared in her sight.

Joanne had no time to put on her coat. She ran out in cotton slippers. "Brian!"

Brian noticed the flimsy clothes on Joanne and frowned. He took off his coat and put it on her shoulders. "Be careful not to catch a cold."

Joanne was about to ask something when a gust of wind blew over and brought the smell of cigarettes from Brian into her nose.

Because she did not like the smell of cigarettes and alcohol. After being with her, Brian almost stopped smoking. He also refused to drink alcohol as much as he could.

He suddenly smoked, not only because this problem was very tricky, but also because he was worried about his mother's safety.

Gazing at Joanne who suddenly fell silent, he stroked her face and asked, "What's wrong?"

Joanne hugged Brian tightly and did not speak.

Only then did Brian realize that Joanne must have noticed something. He pulled her into his arms and smoothed her hair. "Joanne, I'm fine."

Joanne suddenly wanted to cry, but she clearly knew that the saddest person now was Brian, even if he said that he was fine.

She could not make things worse for Brian.

Joanne held back the tears in her eyes and looked up at Brian. "Yuna told me that Aunt Helen was back. Where's Mom? Any clue about her?"

"Rowdy transferred Mom elsewhere, and we are still looking for her." Brian said, "now, we can only be sure that Emily also left with Mom."

"Emily?

Joanne suddenly remembered that Yuna had told that she had asked Emily to take care of Iris.

Emily not only remembered what he had promised Yuna, but he also did it very seriously?

If it was true, then Iris should not be in any danger for the time being.

Joanne grabbed Brian's sleeves and said, "Brian, we still have to hurry up. Emily can help us buy some time, but he is Rowdy's son. Rowdy always has ways to deal with him."

Brian suddenly raised the corner of his mouth.

Joanne was confused. "What are you laughing at? Did I say... anything wrong?"

"You're right." Brian hugged Joanne and added, "I just said the same thing to Wesley."

"..." Joanne was surprised, and then a smile finally appeared on her face. "We had a tacit understanding."

Brian kissed Joanne on her forehead. "It's cold outside. Let's go back first."

Joanne nodded and entered the house with Brian.

They did not notice that Yuna was standing on the road not far away and looking at them for a long time.

Yuna had waited at home for a whole day, but there was no news about Iris, so she came to find Joanne.

She thought that even if Joanne had no news about Aunt Iris either, she could accompany Joanne.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she went out, she saw Joanne rushing out. She followed Joanne's gaze and saw Brian come back.

Since Brian was back, there was no need for her to accompany Joanne. She was about to turn round when she saw Joanne throwing herself into Brian's arms.

They were comforting each other.

Brian and Joanne looked calm on the surface, but the fact that Aunt Iris had been kidnapped still made them uneasy.

They had been trying to rescue Aunt Iris, and in fact, there was a fast and safe way-

To send her back to the Kang's family and get Aunt Iris back.

Did Brian and Joanne ever think about this?
