“At the time, I thought he was your boyfriend, but I thought it was stupid idea. How could he not know his girlfriend's name? Then I thought he should be your pursuer, because you are beautiful and excellent.”
Fred praised Winnie with a smile.
“You are still so naughty. Compared with the people in your country, we are hardly beautiful.”
Winnie had often heard such praise before. She was used to it, but she had not heard it from Fred for a long time.
After that, the two continued chatting, and Winnie told Fred that she had brought her kids to the competition. Fred was not surprised that Winnie had kids and a husband, so he did not ask any more questions.
They were both happy to see each other, and Winnie was pleased that their friendship had not waned after many years.
When Winnie returned to the hotel, the two kids had fallen asleep because they were tired from the flight.
She was lying in bed after washing. The room was warm and homey. The bed was very comfortable. Winnie felt tired, but she could not sleep.
Not because of the time difference, not because of the excitement of seeing a friend, but the picture of Brian and Wendy being together had been echoed in her mind.
She wondered if Brian was with Wendy at that moment, and if they were happy.
Was Brian’s commitment false? Did he still deeply in love with Wendy? Did he stay with her for the kids?
Winnie asked herself countless questions, only to find that she could not give an answer.
‘Brian, time can heal everything, why it doesn’t work for me? Why can't I forget you, why can't I erase you from my memory?’
If Winnie could replace Brian to have amnesia, so that he would think of that woman, would find his life track. In this way, Winnie could forget all her pain and never have any contact with Brian again.
Wendy asked Thomas out at night.
Looking at Thomas’ cold face, Wendy was panic.
“Uncle Thomas, you are so busy and I still asked you out, I......”
“Go to the point.”
Thomas said in a cold voice. Since his identity was told by Wendy, he was extremely dissatisfied with her.
“All right, I'll go to point.”
Wendy braved up and spoke.
“Uncle Thomas, there is something I need your help......”
Wendy then told him about Brian.
“Uncle Thomas, I want to ask you if you know anything about Brian's accident abroad. Brian's present memory...”
“Accident abroad? How do you know it?”
Thomas interrupted the words of Wendy, his tome was still cold as before but he was obviously nervous.
“I...I overheard it.”
When Wendy and Thomas looked at each other, she discovered the murderous spirit in Thomas's eyes.
She did now why he had murderous spirit, and she was afraid.
“Heard from who?”
Thomas continued to ask coldly.
“I overheard Brian and Doctor Burns talking on the roof of the hospital.”
Wendy's heart was shaking now, she felt she was to swallowed up by Thomas.
“Did you hear anything else?”
Thomas wanted to know what extent Brian's memory had recovered.
“Nothing else. He only remembered a little about the accident. He only remembered being pushed away by a woman. He just thought this woman was me, so he asked me for details.”
“Uncle Thomas, I was not the one who saved him, so I don't know how to answer him. That's why I come to you. I hope you would not mention this to Brian.”
Wendy feared that things would be exposed, so she asked Thomas to comceal for her.
Hearing the words of Wendy, Thomas wrinkled eyebrows.
It seemed that Brian thought of not much, so he asked Wendy. However, he would remember it sooner or later. If he used Wendy to delay it for a while, he could earn more them for himself.
“Wendy, this is our family's affair and I won't let it out easily. I know it, but I don't know as many details as you do.”
“But for the sake of your deep affection for Brian, tell me what you want to know, and if I know, I will tell you.”
Thomas's voice finally eased down, and then he enjoined.
“But don’t say I tell you, or Brian will be angry with me.”
“Don't worry, Uncle Thomas, I certainly won't say that.”
Wendy was excited, and then began to ask.
“Uncle Thomas, it is simply, do you know the specific time and specific place of the accident?”
Wendy did not know such information, so she could not act when she went abroad. She could only ask Thomas.
“I know that. It happened in...”
“It was just a common traffic accident, nothing to remember. Brian was not injured at that time. After the people on the car got off, they solved the problem directly.”
Thomas told Wendy the location and time of the incident, and then Wendy asked again.
Wendy was not dissatisfied with the words of Laura and refuted Laura.
“Yes, I agree with you. Therefore, I am very grateful to Winnie that she timely discovered it and timely corrected my mistakes. Wendy, I could not distinguish between right and wrong before, but now I know to hurt others to get our own interests with tricks is bad, such a behavior is bad.”
Laura did not object what Wendy said, because she would be a bad guy for a lifetime.
“Do you mean that I am a bad person?”
Wendy was ashamed and her self-esteem was hurt.
“Yes, because you haven't stopped working on Winnie and are still making some confusion.”
Laura's tone was more and more sharp. She had no scruples about the dignity of Wendy, and was not afraid of Wendy.
“Laura, you...”
“Wendy, stop it, you can't do that again.”
Laura interrupted Wendy's words and persuaded her sincerely.
“Why should I stop? He's my man and my love. I'm not going to let her have him.”
Wendy was irritable. She did not exepct that Laura would slander her, so she was angry.
“I asked you to stop, not ask you to give up love. I hope you do not use some dirty means to hurt Winnie. You're not cruel, you've been bewitched, you've been used, you know that?”
No one had the right to stop love, Laura was not exception. But the pursuit of love should be aboveboard. Stepping on others to hurt others would not be happy.
“What do you mean? Who has bewitched me? Who has used me?”
Wendy asked with doubts.
“Klara, you are being used and bewitched by Klara.”
This was why Laura asked Wendy out. She was not afraid of being found by Klara. She did that not only for Winnie, but also for Klara and Wendy.
If they continued to be ambitious, they would grow bolder and bolder, and one day there would be a problem. When the time came, Winnie might not suffer or get hurt, because Winnie had Brian to protect her.
“Klara?”
Wendy looked surprised.
“Don't believe it, do you? Then you think about why she helped you for wanting nothing. Even your parents could not do that, why a friend do that? Would she sacrifice her job for you?”
Laura knew that Wendy had been deep in the trap of Klara, and she certainly would not believe it.
Wendy agreed with what Laura said. No one in the world would sincerely work for another person to for nothing.
“But I did Klara a favor. I'm giving her family money to live on. So she is not just giving.”
