Wendy was like a mole, trying her best to burrow herself in Gavin's arms. She twisted and buried her face in his chest as she tried to hide.

These financial tycoons were even more confused.

Gavin had to give them an answer. "Sorry, my fiancee..."

Wendy suddenly pinched Gavin hard with her hand around his waist.

Having been with Wendy for so long, Gavin had a tacit understanding of her, so he naturally understood what she meant.

Wendy asked him to watch his tongue.

Of course, he would not tell the truth!

Gavin smiled and continued, "My fiancee is not feeling good."

One of those financial tycoons hurriedly said, "Then hurry and take her back to the ward and call the doctor. There are plenty of good doctors here!"

With a "ding-" sound, the elevator door slowly slid open and those financial tycoons arrived at the floor where they lived.

Gavin maintained his smile. "Mr. Xue, take care."

After those financial tycoons went out, only Gavin and Wendy were left in the elevator.

Wendy finally looked up.

Because she had buried herself in Gavin's arms for quite some time, coupled with a blush, her face was as red and plump as a ripe watermelon, and she looked particularly attractive.

She struggled and protested, "Put me down."

Gavin just looked at Wendy. "Don't move. We're almost there."

As soon as he finished speaking, the elevator door slid open.

Wendy almost reflexively buried her face in Gavin's arms and refused to let herself be seen by the doctors and nurses.

Gavin smiled and said, "Unless you become invisible, the whole world will recognize you."

Wendy was speechless. She suddenly had the urge to learn ninjutsu.

Back in the suite, Gavin put Wendy on the bed and held her down. "Don't move."

Wendy was so tired that every joint of her body was in pain. She did not want to move and just laid down and breathed slowly.

After an unknown period of time, she suddenly felt a chill creeping up her legs.

She was clearly wearing a skirt, but why did it feel like she was naked?

Wendy was confused. She sat up and saw that Gavin had spread her legs apart.

Her eyes widened and she subconsciously wanted to clamp her legs together. "Gavin, what are you going to do?"

"Don't move. I'll apply medicine for you!"

Gavin looked serious. Obviously, he meant it.

Wendy's heart, which had finally calmed down, began to beat faster and faster. Her cheeks, which had finally cooled down, instantly became red hot again.

She patted Gavin's hand and said in a strange voice, "I can do it myself!"

If it were a superficial wound, she was very willing to let Gavin help to apply the medicine.

The point was that it was not a superficial wound, and she was too... shy to ask Gavin for help.

Gavin calmly looked at Wendy's flushed cheeks. "Wendy, it's not the first time I've seen it."

Xiao Yun directly kicked Gavin on the shoulder. "It's different this time!"

She grabbed the medicine from Gavin's hand and rushed into the bathroom as if she were escaping.

"Damn, we are not having sex now, so it's totally different, totally, okay?"

During sex, her soul always seemed to be shattered by Gavin's moves.

But now, she was awake!

When Wendy finished applying the medicine and came out of the bathroom, she found that Noah was already there.

She quickly collected herself and greeted Noah as if nothing had happened. "Doctor Sanchez."

"Good afternoon. I'm here to see Gavin." After that, Noah turned to look at Gavin and asked, "Are you ready?"

"Ready for what?" Wendy hurried over and grabbed Gavin's arm. "What are you going to do?"

"To have a checkup before the last treatment." Gavin rubbed Wendy's hair. "Don't worry. I'll be fine."

As usual, Gavin had to have a checkup before he received his treatment, so as to ensure that his physical condition was suitable for treatment.

Wendy breathed a sigh of relief. "I'll go with you."

Noah immediately said, "Today's checkup will take a long time. Wendy, if you wait outside all the time, you will be very bored, so I suggest you stay in the room and have a rest. You can watch a movie and sleep for a while, and then Gavin will be back.

Gavin also said, "Henry and Dr. Sanchez will be with me. You don't have to worry. Have a good rest."

Wendy thought for a moment and realized that it... would indeed be a little hard for her to go out today. She nodded and stayed obediently.

Noah took Gavin out. After entering the elevator, Noah glanced at Gavin and said, "I don't know if it will have any effect."

Gavin did not keep up with Noah's thoughts for a while. "Effect?"

"Forget it." Noah acted as if he didn't hear Gavin's words and continued, "If you've had plenty of exercises and the checkup results show that you are still suitable for treatment, that would mean that you have really recovered well, and the operation will likely succeed."

Gavin finally understood why Noah was so sarcastic. The corners of his mouth twitched twice. "How could you tell?"

Noah sneered and said, "As soon as I entered the ward, I found that you looked like a sexually satisfied man."

"Tut-tut." Gavin glanced at Noah. "You sound like a jealous and single man."

Noah was speechless.

Gavin even playfully elbowed Noah. "I know it's miserable being a single man, but whether you have a girlfriend mostly depends on your appearance, followed by fate. Let it be."

Noah gritted his teeth and said, "Are you comforting me?"

Gavin shrugged. "You misunderstood me. I never thought about comforting you."

Noah was speechless. "fuck, what a bad friend!"

"Oh, no, what a bad patient!"

It was already past five o'clock in the afternoon when Gavin was finally done with his checkup.

When he returned to the ward, Wendy had just woken up.

Last night, Wendy's physical strength was overtaxed and she was also sleep-deprived. When she woke up, she felt as if she had come back to life.

Seeing Gavin come back, Wendy almost jumped out of bed. She ran over and asked, "Have you finished the checkup? What did Dr. Sanchez say?"

During the checkup, Gavin had mocked Noah, who was single, several times.

Now, Noah probably did not want to say anything.

Wendy stretched her hand and waved it in front of Gavin. "What are you thinking? Is there any unexpected problem?"

"The result will be out tomorrow." Gavin touched Wendy's head. "Even if there is an unexpected problem, it will only be revealed tomorrow."

Wendy raised her hand and patted Gavin hard. "Don't talk nonsense! There will be no unexpected problem."

Gavin raised his eyebrows. "Your presence was unexpected."

Wendy was speechless.

Gavin looked at Wendy carefully for a moment and suddenly pinched her face. "No, you're a surprise."

She was the biggest surprise to him.

"..." A long line of vulgar words flashed through Wendy's mind.

Right at that moment, Gavin's cell phone rang. It was a call from Brian.

After the phone call, Gavin took Wendy's hand and said, "Brian and Joanne are in Aunt Iris's ward. They asked us to go downstairs for dinner. Brian's chef has prepared dinner and brought it here, including your favorite soup dumplings."

When she heard there were soup dumplings, Wendy seemed to come alive in an instant. She ran out of the ward without hesitation and went downstairs.

For the first time, she felt that Aunt Tang's ward was so attractive!

After two days of recuperation, Iris looked much better. After dinner, Brian wheeled her downstairs to get some fresh air.

During the day, the nurse would also wheel Iris downstairs, but there were still differences between the family members and the nurse.

After walking for half an hour, Iris motioned for Brian to stop and said, "You go back with Joanne. Aiden and Romy are still at home. Gavin can send me upstairs."

Brian looked at the time. It was indeed time to go back to see the two little guys.

He did not insist on sending Iris back and took Joanne back to Prime Villas.

When they got home, Romy was crying. Martha held the little girl in her arms anxiously.

Seeing Joanne come back, Martha breathed a sigh of relief. She walked over with Romy in her arms and said, "Mrs. Lambert, I was just about to call you. Romy suddenly cried so hard that I couldn't make her calm down. Also, she refused to eat anything."

"What's wrong?"

Joanne hurriedly held Romy in her arms. When the little girl saw her, she tried her best to get into her arms. She cried louder and louder, and her voice sounded even more aggrieved.

In an instant, Joanne felt as if her heart was being corroded, and she was in great pain.

Romy was not hungry. She just wanted to see Brian and her.

In the past few days, she had to go to the company in the afternoon and take time to accompany Iris. Thus, the time she spent with Aiden and Romy was less than the time she had spent on either of them before.

Romy cried for a long time and finally calmed down. She hummed in Joanne's arms like a spoiled child.

For a moment, Joanne wanted to give up exploring the unknown domain, stay at home, and accompany Aiden and Romy. She didn't want to hear Romy's cries anymore.

As for the storm outside, she could only leave it to Brian, for she had to take care of their mom and children at home.

However, she also did not want to experience the confusion and bewilderment again: Brian was so busy but she could not help him.

Children, or the future, it was truly a difficult decision to make.

After coaxing the two babies to sleep with great difficulty, Brian said to Joanne, "Let's go to the study and have a talk."

After entering the study, Brian closed the door and pointed out what was on Joanne's mind. "Are you hesitant?"

"..." Could Brian really read her mind?

After a while, Joanne recovered from her shock and nodded to admit it. "I was, but now, I've figured it out."

"So soon?" Brian raised his eyebrows and was a little surprised. "If so, I want to hear your opinion first. Joanne, tell me, what are you going to do now?"

Joanne said, "I still want to learn about the business, but I have to adjust my schedule. I need to spend as much time as possible to accompany Aiden and Romy."

Brian motioned for Joanne to go on. "How will you adjust it?"

"Before Mom recovers, I'll learn about the business on weekends," Joanne said, "and thus, I'll have enough time to take care of Mom and also the babies."

"Uh-huh." Brian was very satisfied with the adjustment. "You'll also have time to exercise."

Joanne's face immediately changed...
