Brian did not break any bones but suffered serious bruises. The doctor told him that he must rest and
cannot move.
They tossed about in the hospital. As they got home, the kids had been picked up by Daenerys.
Seeing that Brian jumping with one foot, the kids were worried.
"What's wrong with you, Uncle?”
"Does your foot hurt, Daddy?"
Asked the two children together.
"It doesn’t matter."
Brian said in a low voice.
"Uncle, are you injured? Does it hurt?"
To Brian’s surprise, Megan cried for that. But Brian inexplicably felt warm by that.
"Megan, don't cry, I am fine."
Brian comforted Megan and his eyes became less cold.
"I feel distressed about it, you must be in pain."
Megan sobbed and felt tense looking at Brian's injured ankle.
It made Winnie feel depressed, even Daenerys was moved.
Daenerys walked up to Brian and asked.
“Are you all right?”
She met Brian several times, but they did not have deep communication. If he were not Luke's father,
she would not contact such a cold man.
"I am fine."
It was indifferent tone, which made Daenerys tremble all over.
"Winwin, I have a client to meet, I am leaving."
After Daenerys left, Winnie began to take care of Brian.
She helped Brian to sit on the sofa and took good care of him.
“Put your feet on the sofa. The doctor said it should not stay in the air for too long.”
Winnie was about to help, but Megan moved ahead of her.
"I can take care of Uncle, Mommy."
Megan's small face was still red because she cried just now.
"Ok. Be careful and don’t hurt Uncle."
Winnie did not deprive the child’s love, got up and let Megan do it.
"Mommy, I won't hurt Uncle, because I will hurt if he hurts."
While saying, Megan squatted down to help.
Rather than that Megan carried Brian's foot onto the sofa, he put them up by himself.
"Thank you, Megan."
Winnie was surprised that Brian, such a proud and cold man, said thank you. It was his foot that hurt.
Did his head hurt too?
"You're welcome, Uncle. As long as you don't feel pain, I can offer my help."
Megan said softy, which made Brian's heart feel warm.
"Megan, take good care of Uncle, I will get the dinner ready."
Winnie could not bear to see that. She felt that she was committing a crime and she would find an
excuse to leave the sad scene.
"Wait a minute."
Brian stopped Winnie, and then said to Luke.
"Luke, go and bring the medicine box."
After receiving the command, Luke quickly ran to get it, and then put the medicine box on the side of
Brian.
"Come here."
Brian commanded, looking at Winnie.
Winnie had almost known what Brian wanted, but he stood there without making any response.
However, Brian did not wait patiently. He reached out to drag Winnie to his side and sit down.
He opened the medicine box to find disinfectant and a cotton swab to start disinfecting Winnie's
forearm.
"I'll do it myself."
Winnie said, Brian’s concern made her flattered but she could not accept it.
She remembered what Brian said on the way to get off work. That was his truth face to her.
"Don't move."
Brian was dominious and did not allow Winnie to withdraw her arm.
Winnie tried several times, but she failed and had to obey.
"Why is there a scar?"
Brian inadvertently saw a small scar on the edge of Winnie's injury. Although it was not big or deep,
Brian thought it was an eyespot.
Winnie looked over her arm and knew what Brian was referring to. It reminded her of the moment she
was pushed down four years ago.
She was angry about that but she did not show it.
"A hateful man pushed me and I got injured."
Brian was the hateful man four years ago. She begged him when she was helpless, but he turned her
down. He did not change, he was still cold. It was not expected that she would meet him again.
"Blame yourself, if you didn't... if you didn't get touch with a man, you would not be hurt by a man."
Brian said in a could voice. Realize that the two children were there, he did not say she was a cheater.
When he thought that she had cheated many men and got touched with many men, he felt an impulse
to kill them. This impulse always swallowed him.
"Yes, I deserve it. So every scar on my body is a punishment for something I did wrong."
Winnie said, only by saying so, Brian would not continue to argue with her.
"Mommy didn't."
Megan suddenly spoke.
She understood the conversation between Mammy and Uncle, and she knew what they meant by
"man."
Megan continued.
"Don't say that about Mommy, Uncle. I've been living with my aunt and grandmother since I was born.
Mommy......"
"Megan Chambers......"
Winnie knew what Megan was trying to say, and she knew she would not allow anyone to denigrate her
mother. But Megan was explaining to Brian. In Brian's view, as long as others said a word for her, it
would be her plan. Why should she give Brian an opportunity to humiliate her?
Winnie warned Megan in a low voice, but Megan did not want to stop. She could do anything as her
Mommy said, but now she had to protect her Mommy.
"Uncle, Mommy is not a bad woman. She hasn't had a man around since I was born. You are the first
man to kiss Mommy. You can’t say that, Uncle."
Megan’s face had an unyielding stubbornness like Winnie, which made Brian stunned.
Brian stopped his move and did not know what to say. He just looked at Winnie coldly.
"Don't look at me. I have the same thought."
Winnie said indifferently, but she was nervous.
Brian must have thought that she had planned what Megan said in advance, and since he thought so,
she had nothing to explain.
"Uncle, we are a family of four people living together. I have always wanted a Daddy to protect Mommy
from being bullied. I understand you don’t want to be my Daddy, but please don't bully Mommy."
Megan continued. She said without fear.
But when she was protecting her Mommy, Uncle felt annoyed.
"Stop talking, Megan. I can take care of myself."
Winnie pulled back her arm and got up directly.
She knew Megan’s character very well. She was just a girl, but she was stubborn and unyielding.
Now Winnie understood that half of Megan was like her and the other half was like her father.
"Megan, Uncle saved mommy today, uncle did not bully mommy. Why don't you take care of Uncle, and
I will cook."
Winnie reminded Megan. No matter what Brian had done before, no matter how Brian despised her in
the heart, but after all, he saved her.
Whether she or Megan knew they should be thankful.
"All right, Mommy."
Megan could only do what Mommy said.
Winnie went to cook and Luke followed her.
"Auntie, I help you cook dinner. You got injury, and I want to help you."
Luke said sensibly, which was different with Megan who was aggressive.
"Ok."
They went to the kitchen and Winnie began to cook rice.
She did not need Luke to help but taught him how to cook.
"First wash the rice, then put it in the rice cooker and press the cook button."
"Auntie, did what Daddy said just now make you angry?"
Luke's mind was not on the cooking. He came to the kitchen not completely to help Winnie, but wanted
to say sorry for Daddy.
"No, he saved me. How can I be angry?"
Winnie squatted down, put her hands gently on the shoulders of Luke, and then said softly.
"Luke, your Daddy is the leader, he is prestige and domineering. He has so many people to manage
and he can't succeed if he's too weak."
"When you grow up, you will inherit his business. Although you cannot be completely indifferent like
him, you must be strong and tough."
Winnie took this opportunity to enlighten him, because Luke was tortured by Penny and he only knew
to apologize and dared not express his own ideas, which gradually lost his opinions on things.
This was not good for the growth of children, especially boys, especially Luke who was placed high
hopes.
"Auntie, I'll do as you said. I'll be strong and tough. I will make myself strong and then I will protect
you."
Luke had been wanted to say that to Winnie. Since Daddy could not protect Auntie, he would protect
her from being bullied.
"Luke, you are the best. I believe you can do a good job."
Winnie was pleased to encourage Luke, she believed that he would find his nature.
From the moment she knew that Luke was her child, Winnie no longer regretted her return. She felt she
came back in a right time. She still had chance to save him before Penny destroyed him.
Winnie and Luke were cooking in the kitchen. Megan gave a cup of water to Brian.
"Uncle, I was not polite just now, please don’t be mad."
Megan apologized, not feeling she was wrong, but feeling unease. After giving a cup of water to Brian,
she felt better.
"Megan, good girl. I am not angry."
Brian who had been cold and proud could not be cold when he faced Megan.
