When Kevin turned to look at Winnie and saw the bitter smile on her face, he realized that he couldn't continue the joke.
"Winwin, is the pain bearable?"
Getting back to business, Kevin became serious.
"Not as painful as yesterday. I can bear it."
Winnie answered indifferently.
"Hang in there. Tomorrow will be better."
Kevin comforted Winnie.
Winnie was a lonely woman. Even if she was sick now, she could not tell her family, she was poor.
Kevin believed that Winnie was the strongest woman in the world. She suffered loneliness and had to support her family.
"How many days will it take me to be well? I still have a lot of work to do."
Winnie asked Kevin. She wanted Kevin to give her a reason to leave.
"Don't worry about work. The most important thing is to get well. Just give yourself a holiday and take a rest."
Kevin gave an answer that was not what she wanted to hear, but she could not say anything.
"All right. Thank you for your help."
“Don’t be so polite. Without Brian and Daenerys, we are still good friends.
"Well, take care. I'll be here at this time tomorrow."
Kevin was to leave. Brian followed him out.
In the courtyard of the villa.
Kevin and Brian chatted as they walked.
"Brian, you are so worried about Winwin, why do you hide your heart?"
“Will you not talk about it?”
These were the last words Brian wanted to hear, because it would easily shake his determination.
"Why? I feel like you're torturing each other. Why don’t you feel the taste of love?"
Kevin violated the commitment to Daenerys and began to persuade Brian.
"Brian, you didn't realize that you fell in love with each other from the beginning of the surrogacy till now. I think this is natural. Don't you feel bad for torturing each other just like this?
"You know, Winwin could get hurt if she was with me. Grandpa would not allow us to be together."
"It's not that I don't want to be with Winwin. I confessed to my grandpa. My grandpa told me that if I want to be with Winwin, I have to acquire the Yup Group.”
"And you should know grandpa, with his strength, it is easy for him to make Winwin disappear in B City. If Winwin disappears, what would the two children do, what would I do?"
Brian had to scruple too many things, consider too many people. There was not only love in his life.
"Grandpa thinks Winwin has a bad family background. This is not difficult for you. You have helped the Yup Group to develop, and you can help Winwin.”
Kevin understood what Brian said. But he did not want Winnie to like a life like that.
"Even if I help Winwin, what about the Yup Group? Should it acquire it?"
Brian asked Kevin. It must not happen.
Kevin sighed. There was nothing to defend but there was nothing better to do.
"Go back, Winnie needs company."
Kevin left with disappointment again, but he had no intention of giving up.
He hoped that Brian would figure out a way and not let Winnie become a victim of love.
Brian returned to Winnie's room, where she was sitting with a voice chat on her cell phone.
"I can't be there now. You ask them to do something else, I will take time to work on that."
Winnie put down the phone and looked at Brian.
"You can do your work, and I will call you when I am done with infusion."
Winnie was not afraid that Brian heard her chat, but that she delayed too much Brian's time.
"As I said, I am not busy these two days."
Brian said coldly, it seemed that Winnie drove him away made him dissatisfied.
At this time, Winnie got a voice message and she clicked it.
"No problem, don’t worry, I can take care of it."
Brian heard that it was the voice of Leo, and his face changed.
"Is it Leo? Are you talking about work?"
Asked Brian coldly.
"Yes, we're working together on a game and it comes to the important part."
Winnie didn't hide it, because when it came to work, it relaxed her mood.
"The game? Your work?"
"Yes, my work."
Winnie answered lightly.
Winnie did not know how he would deal with the relationship between Wendy and her, if he remembered that woman in the picture was also his true love.
Winnie should be glad at the moment of her own reason. With all the women around him, one day she would go the way of Penny.
Winnie told herself that it was good to pay close attention to Brian silently. Although she could not get him or his heart, she had not been abandoned.
"It doesn't matter whether it's important or not. The picture was taken many years ago and was taken abroad. Even retrieving the memory won't change anything."
Brian knew that the word "woman" was very sensitive to Winnie, and he had thought whether this woman was the one he liked.
But now even if this woman appeared, even if he recovered his memory, his favorite woman was still Winnie and it would never change.
"Yes, it's been a long time."
It seemed that Winnie thought Brian had always loved Wendy and no one would change that.
Downstairs Winnie's house.
Rufus had been there for a while, but wondered if he should go up, what he would say to them, and how he should explain the relation between him and Isobel.
But he wanted to see Isobel and tell her some details.
As Rufus was hovering and hesitating, Vanessa suddenly appeared.
"Sir, what are you doing here?"
Vanessa was surprised and excited. She had not seen Rufus for a long time.
"Vanessa."
Rufus calmed down, because he had experienced a lot of thing after all.
"I have a friend here. I come to see my friend."
"Ok, come to our home too. The children are not at home. My aunt is alone. By the way, you have not seen my aunt yet. I'll take you to her."
Vanessa was very enthusiastic and took Rufus up.
"No, my friend will come downstairs to meet me in a minute. I'll meet your aunt sometime."
Rufus refused, because with Vanessa around, he did not know how he should communicate with Isobel.
"All right, I should go back to school. I will see you some day."
"Good-bye, Sir!”
Vanessa headed to school. Rufus had been looking at Vanessa's back, and had a kind of extraordinary feeling.
From Vanessa's word, Rufus was certain that Isobel was at home alone. It seemed that this opportunity was created to him.
So Rufus went upstairs decisively.
