Outside the hospital.
Penny had been waiting in Felix's car. The bodyguards next to the car had been guarding her. It felt like
she was under house arrest.
After waiting for a while, Felix finally came back, but his look turned gloomy after seeing Penny.
"Grandfather……"
"Let's talk about it, what happened to Winnie being hit?"
Felix asked in a cold voice.
"Grandpa, I don't know about this. Isn't it just a simple traffic accident?"
Penny had been restless, and finally found the reason. She thought that Felix could not leave her for no
reason.
"A simple traffic accident? You know whether it is a simple traffic accident."
Felix suddenly raised his volume and glared at Penny.
"I'm giving you a chance now. Winnie has already begun to doubt you. If you don't tell me the truth, no
one can save you."
"Grandfather……"
"Don't be sophistry, I heard everything at the door of the ward just now."
Felix reminded sharply.
When Felix came to the hospital, Butler knocked on the door twice, but there was no respond. Felix
pushed the door and walked in. However, they focused on argument and didn't realize that Felix had
opened the door and entered.
Felix was standing at the door, listening clearly to the conversation between them. Winnie had heard
what was wrong with Penny's words, how could Felix couldn't know it.
Just when Penny couldn't hold on to blurt out, Felix hurried out and knocked loudly on the door. This
allowed Penny's emotions to be eased, so as not to expose what she did.
This incident also made Felix know Penny again, her IQ was not at the same level as Winnie's. So, he
must come forward to solve this matter.
If Brian knew it, it would affect some of the cooperation between the Bennet Group and Penny's family.
Penny looked at Felix in surprise. She didn't expect him to hear the conversation between Winnie and
her.
"I did it."
Penny admitted in a low voice. She had no choice at the moment.
If she refused to admit it, Felix would be wary of her from now on, which would be even worse for her.
Felix was not surprised at all. He had guessed that Penny must have done it when he heard the two
people talking at the door. It was just that he didn't expect Winnie knew the questionable points from
Penny's words.
"Tell me what is going on with Winnie?"
Felix asked in a deep voice.
"Winnie and I were girlfriends when we were at college..."
Penny repeated what happened between her and Winnie, just as how she lied to Leo back then and
how she lied to Brian some time ago.
It didn't matter to her that one more person was deceived.
And now that Felix knew it, she was even more fearless. As long as Winnie was discredited once, Felix
would help her and drive Winnie away.
It was not a bad thing to think so, instead was better for her.
"Grandpa, I just didn't want to see more people being cheated by Winnie and told the truth. She has
hated me for so many years. This time, everything she did when she came back was aimed at me. She
threatened me, and said she was going to take everything from me."
Penny paused for a while and continued speaking with a sigh of relief.
"Although I am not Luke's real mother, Luke grew up with me. I have regarded him as my own child.
However, Winnie came here and snatched Luke away. Luke was gone. The feeling like part of my heart
is stolen away. How can I bear it? I asked Winnie to negotiate. Not only did she not return Luke, she
also said that the next person to be snatched would be Brian. I was forced to do so."
At the end Penny squeezed out a few tears to prove that she was really sad. She did it because she
had no other way.
Felix pondered silently, thinking about whether Penny's words were true or false. But on another
thought, he must protect Penny for the time being no matter what.
"Go back, keep your mouth shut and don't talk nonsense."
Felix gave this answer after pondering for a moment.
He didn't keep asking, knowing so much was enough.
Winnie stayed up all night, thinking about how to get Luke back. But no matter how she thought, she
couldn't achieve it without Brian's help.
Winnie kept checking the time, and finally it was past eight o'clock. She picked up the phone and
wanted to call Brian again, but saw the headline on the phone.
Winnie frowned when she saw the picture.
Winnie saw that the man in the photo was Brian and couldn't help but click on it.
The headline title was like this.
"The most powerful and rich man and well-known actress"
Below the title was a picture of Brian entering and leaving a foreign hotel with a well-known actress.
The picture was very clear, and Winnie recognized the actress was Stella, who was shooting a mobile
ad, at a glance.
Winnie's heart was pulled together, and it hurt.
It turned out that Brian left her alone to have a date with another woman. It turned out that he didn't
answer the phone last night because he was dating a woman.
Winnie turned off the phone and didn't plan to call Brian again. But she couldn't calm down for a long
time, and she was always in pain.
Looking at the close behavior between Brian and Stella in the picture, Winnie felt aggrieved
inexplicably. The reason for the grievance was that she felt like she had been cheated.
Being deceived of the body, of the feelings, deceived of all.
Feelings? Winnie's eyes were moist when she thought of it, and she couldn't help but wept.
At this moment she suddenly realized that she didn't know when she had fallen in love with that devilish
indifferent man.
Realizing that her heart had fallen, Winnie burst into laughter. That smile was too bitter, and was full of
helplessness.
How was it with love or not? There would be no change in the result. So, this love could only be buried
forever.
Four days later, Winnie was almost well, and she asked to be discharged from the hospital. She had no
one to rely on, and she could only rely on her own strength to hold Luke.
But Winnie's request for discharge was rejected because the hospital would not let her go without
Brian's consent. Winnie tried to sneak out of the hospital again, but there were bodyguards outside the
ward, and no one would dare to let her out without Brian's order.
Winnie was angry, standing in front of the window and looking down. It was higher than the thirtieth
floor, if she escaped from here, she might fall into fragments.
Fortunately, Brian finally returned on the night of the fifth day. Winnie thought she could go home this
time, but she didn't expect what happened next.
"No, you haven't fully recovered yet."
After listening to Winnie's request for discharge from the hospital, Brian refused directly.
"I have no problem, my head no longer hurts, and the bleeding points have recovered. The trauma is
all crusted. What's the else matter with me?"
Winnie asked unconvincingly. She couldn't be calm when seeing Brain. She couldn't be alone with this
man. She wanted to let her feeling for him die quickly.
"There are still blood clots that have not been completely absorbed. Wound scab is the most
dangerous time, scars will leave if you are careless. Don't you know your own constitution? You are
covered with scars and ugly. If there are scars on your face, you will be ugly woman and no one wants
you for a lifetime."
Brian said coldly.
If it was Leo said in a warm tone, Winnie would definitely think it was a joke. And when Brian said it
ruthlessly and coldly, it turned into disgust.
"If I can't get married, I won't be entangled with you. Don't worry about that."
Winnie said stubbornly, with anger evident in her tone.
"Don't argue, I said you can't be discharged, then you can't."
Brian insisted on his thoughts domineeringly, and there was anger in his black eyes.
He was tired for a week and was busy day and night. He solved everything in country M in the shortest
possible time, and came back non-stop. The eagerness was all because of Winnie.
After getting off the plane, he did not go home, to the company, change clothes, or have dinner, but
went straight to the hospital. Unexpectedly, it was Winnie's stubborn look waiting for him.
He told himself that she was a patient and he had to endure whatever she said, so he could only
suppress the anger.
"Okay, I'm hospitalized. I will live in the hospital all my life. Anyway, someone will pay for me and
someone will take care of my children, so why not do it."
Winnie became more and more angry. There was no solution, so she could only compromise
unwillingly.
Winnie glared at Brian, not talking.
It was late, and the hospital was very silent. But Brian didn't mean to leave yet, and Winnie couldn't
help but ask him.
"Aren't you going home?"
"No."
Brian answered coldly.
"Don't you have a date?"
Winnie didn't believe that he could not be driven away.
"No."
Brian was still stingy and only said one word.
"No? In a foreign country... Well, if you don't have a date, you can go home. I have to rest. You will
affect my recovery if you stay here."
Winnie bit back the words and asked him to leave directly.
Winnie's words made Brian raised his eyebrows and went directly to Winnie's bed.
"Have you seen the report on the Internet?"
"It's hard to not see it with such a big title and such a prominent position even I don't want to."
Now that Brian heard it, Winnie had nothing to avoid.
"What do you think about it?"
Brian asked in a deep voice.
"What do I think? How could I have opinions about things that have nothing to do with me?"
Winnie's answer was simple and deliberate.
Now that she had decided to bury the impossible love in her heart, she must always pay attention not
to reveal it. However, Winnie found that this was not a simple matter.
"You don't care about me, do you?"
Brian's voice suddenly fell cold, and Winnie's answer made him feel heartbroken.
"..."
Winnie's eyes wandered, not daring to look at Brian. She was afraid that her eyes would betray her.
"There are people caring about you. You don't need me. Mr. Bennet, you must be very tired. Go home
and rest."
Winnie seemed to say indifferently. She wanted to see Brian, but when she saw Brian, she had to drive
him away. It was too contradictory and unacceptable.
Winnie's words were not the perfect answer for Brian. All he wanted was two answers, yes or no, and
Winnie's answer was too vague.
