In the private hospital, after this treatment, Gavin became very weak.

He was awake for less than six hours a day, and he was in a coma for the rest of the day.

There were several times when Wendy was talking to him but he suddenly had no response.

Wendy felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. She touched his vital signs with great fear and found that his pulse and heartbeat were normal. Then she finally breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down, and continued to stay with him.

After being scared by Gavin several times, Wendy gradually got used to it. Now, she could even ignore the fact that Gavin was asleep and finish talking.

Therefore, when Noah came to see Gavin several times, he saw Wendy keep talking as if Gavin were listening to her.

Noah showed a very strange look. He wanted to ask something, but he did not open his mouth for the sake of Wendy's mood.

Wendy saw Noah look strange and deliberately tried to scare him. The more she said, the more excited she became. Thus, Noah did not dare to say anything.

Later, Wendy went even further. She had been sitting quietly by the bed and accompanying Gavin, but as soon as Noah opened the door, she began to talk nonsense.

Noah hesitated for a moment, then closed the door and went out.

Wendy only mentioned her prank to Gavin, and the latter could not help laughing and said, "Go on. If Noah is frightened, I'll take responsibility."

Yes, Gavin did not mean to blame Wendy at all.

In Gavin's eyes, Wendy was still a child. In addition, he was Wendy's nominal brother. It seemed reasonable for him to indulge Wendy.

However, Noah was really frightened. As soon as he saw Joanne in the hospital today, he directly asked Joanne to his office.

Joanne was a little surprised. "Doctor Sanchez, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong with Gavin?"

After thinking about it carefully, Joanne felt it strange. If there was really something wrong with Gavin, Noah would have contacted Brian directly.

Noah adjusted his glasses and could not help frowning with worry. "I want to talk to you about Wendy."

"Wendy?" Joanne was even more surprised. "What's wrong with her?"

Noah frowned deeply, as if he were encountering a difficult and complicated disease. He told Joanne about his discovery in detail. In the end, he made a guess. "Is Wendy under too much pressure? Or is she too worried about Gavin?"

"..."

Joanne was not surprised, but just curious.

In the past few days, she had come to the hospital almost every day. She had been paying great attention to Wendy's situation, but she never found anything unusual about Wendy. Why could Noah find her abnormality so many times?

The more Joanne thought about it, the stranger she felt it. However, it was inappropriate for her to tell Noah about her idea directly.

After thinking for a while, Joanne said, "I'll talk to Wendy."

Noah hurriedly said, "Go ahead to find out what's going on. Wendy's behaviors are too scary."

As soon as Joanne entered Gavin's ward, she directly took Wendy out and asked her what was going on.

Wendy smiled and asked instead, "Cousin, what do you think?"

"I think you're playing a prank on him." Joanne saw through Wendy at a glance. She looked at her with anger and amusement. "Why did you scare Dr. Sanchez? He's very worried about you."

"Shh-" Wendy made a gesture of silence, and her beautiful face was covered with hidden joy. "Cousin, you're right. I deliberately scared Dr. Sanchez! But don't tell him about it. I'll continue scaring him! He always makes fun of me!"

"Stop it." Joanne poked Wendy's forehead. "Dr. Sanchez thought that you were so worried about Gavin that you went crazy!"

"No, I'm fine!" Wendy pursed her lips. "Gavin sleeps every day, so I'm too bored. I just want to have some fun. Gavin also knows about it!"

Joanne did not expect Gavin to know about it. She looked at Wendy in surprise. "Gavin also knows, but he just let you do as you wish?"

Wendy nodded and said innocently, "He even said that if something happened, he would be responsible for it, so I couldn't stop it! In the final analysis, it's Gavin's fault!"

Her logic was as below. If Gavin had stopped her, she would not have scared Noah. It was all Gavin's fault for letting her do whatever she wanted!

Joanne smiled helplessly. "You may bully Dr. Sanchez and then Gavin."

Wendy felt that Joanne really put forward a good suggestion, so she nodded obediently and said, "Okay, they won't hit me anyway!"

"..."

Joanne suddenly felt that she owed Noah an apology.

It was just a casual talk, instead of a suggestion for Wendy. He could only blame Wendy for thinking strangely and understanding differently...

Wendy saw that Joanne's expression was getting weirder and weirder. She reached out and waved her hand in front of Joanne. "Cousin, what's wrong with you?"

Joanne came to her senses, shook her head and asked, "How is Gavin?"

"As usual. He would fall asleep before I finish my words." Wendy frowned and looked sad. "Cousin, I'm afraid that if Gavin goes on like this... his abdominal muscles will be gone."

"..."

Joanne had thought that Wendy was worried about Gavin's body, but she was actually worried about Gavin's body shape.

Joanne could only tell herself that an addition of "shape" to "body" made little difference.

Moreover, this was what Wendy would usually do. She should be used to it.

Joanne gave Wendy a reassuring look and motioned for her to rest assured. "After Gavin gets better, his abdominal muscles will come back."

Wendy thought about it and said with a smile, "That's good. Otherwise, I'll dislike him."

Joanne knew that Wendy was just joking.

She touched Wendy's head. "I saw Yuna yesterday."

"Really?" Wendy widened her eyes and asked curiously, "Where's Boss Hayes? Did he see Yuna? Did he jump on her?"

"Wesley saw her too. Yuna even went to find him." Joanne shook her head in disappointment. "But the chemistry between them wasn't right, for the contradiction between them seemed to increase. So, I came to discuss with you about contacting Dr. Liu."

"Boss Hayes is so disappointing!" Wendy rubbed her hands together. "Come on, let me save Boss Hayes's love!"

Seeing Wendy be full of energy, Joanne could not help smiling and discussed with Wendy about their plans in detail.

At noon, Gavin woke up, and Wesley also came from Lambert Group.

Joanne remembered very clearly that Brian had told her in the morning that Wesley would meet Yuna today.

"Is this meeting done so early?"

Joanne looked behind Wesley uncontrollably, and she got disappointed, for Yuna was not standing behind Wesley.

She had once joked with Brian. She wondered if the misunderstanding between him and Yuna would be removed or increased after this meeting.

Now it seemed that the latter was the answer.

Joanne could not help feeling disappointed. Fortunately, Wendy, who was carefree, was behind her.

Wendy greeted Wesley excitedly so that there was not a frigid atmosphere in the suite.

Although Wendy was noisy, she never mentioned Yuna.

She knew that Yuna had become a taboo subject for Wesley. Even if Wesley treated her as his sister, she could not step on his bottom line.

At noon, Wendy pestered Wesley for a treat.

Wesley was so generous that he directly invited a famous family chef as well as the hospital chef to prepare food for them.

Joanne was concerned about her children. In addition, there were Wesley and Wendy in the hospital, so she did not eat with Iris and asked Winston to send her home.

In the evening, when Brian came back from the company, Joanne was preparing dinner in the kitchen. As soon as he entered the kitchen, he smelled a strong aroma of food, which was warm and seemed to dispel the coldness in winter.

Brian took off his overcoat and suit jacket, rolled up his sleeves and helped Joanne with dinner. At the same time, he told her, "Wesley knows that you are investigating Yuna's matter."

Joanne was cooking dry pot shrimps. Hearing that, she shook her hand and sprinkled a lot of salt.

She turned off the fire and looked at Brian uneasily. "When did Wesley find it out?"

Brian tried to reply in a gentle voice, "Long ago."

Joanne's heart abruptly skipped a beat, but soon, she thought of something, calmed down, and let out a long sigh.

Her reaction was totally different from what Brian had expected.

Brian raised his eyebrows. "I thought you would be afraid."

"I was afraid, but I'm fine now." Joanne looked calm and made an analysis. "Think about it. Wesley has long found out that I'm investigating Yuna, but he didn't stop me or warn me, which means that it is an acquiescence. Of course, it's also possible that he doesn't care about it at all. Anyway, I'm sure that Wesley doesn't intend to get even with me. I don't have to be afraid."

Brian had intended to scare Joanne, but it turned out that he had underestimated his wife.

He could only give up the idea of teasing Joanne. "Wesley does not intend to get even with you, but he asked you to stop the investigation."

Joanne was stunned for a moment and decisively disagreed. "No, Wendy and I have just made the plan. We haven't carried it out! I'll continue the investigation!"

Brian knew that Joanne would be disappointed, but he still told her, "Joanne, Wesley has already confirmed it."

Joanne knew what Brian meant. Wesley had confirmed that Yuna did betray him.

She turned a deaf ear to it and put the cooked shrimps onto a plate. "Wesley's confirmation doesn't count. I haven't confirmed it myself. Even you can't stop me!"

Brian had already guessed Joanne's reaction, but he did not intend to stop her. Instead, he asked, "What do you need me to do for you?"

Joanne raised two fingers and said, "There are two things. First, cover me up, and don't let Wesley find out so soon that I'm still investigating Yuna."

Brian replied with a "hmm" and asked, "What about the second one?"

Joanne picked up a shrimp and said, "Taste the dish."

Brian was not interested in the shrimps. He pushed Joanne's hand away and kissed her lips directly.

Dry pot shrimps were definitely not as tasty as his wife.
