In the danger, Winnie really hoped the person to save her was Brian. Things had past, but she was
afraid, because all this was related to Brian. If he could stay away from her, it might have not
happened.
Winnie certainly felt that way, but she did not blame Brian; after all, their relationship was consensual. It
was she had a simple thinking.
Brian had prominent status and was destined to be extraordinary. Since the day she agreed to be his
woman, she should have thought it would never be easy.
"I didn't tell her, for fear they would be worried."
Brian replied in a low voice.
"Yes, don’t tell them. How about the children? Who's taking care of them?"
Winnie asked weakly.
"I sent them to the suburbs. They didn't know what happened to you. I told them we were away on a
business trip. But we can't keep it for too long. I'll bring them back when you're stable."
Brian said in detail, afraid of Winnie worried about children.
"Well, you were right. I am relieved to know that they are in the suburbs."
Winnie involuntarily raised her lips. It seemed that she encountered the accident had harvest, so that
Brian and Rufus would be gradually connected.
“Stop talking. You are still weak and need rest.”
At this time, Kevin walked in again and reminded Brian.
Daenerys was still excited. Kevin stopped her from entering the ward.
He chased away the people in the ward, leaving only Brian alone. The room was suddenly quiet.
"Take rest, I'll be right here."
Brian had been holding Winnie's hand.
"Well, I'll get some sleep."
Winnie was very weak and soon fell asleep. Brian had been guarding Winnie. Unconsciously he lied on
the bed of Winnie and also fell asleep.
Brian did not wake up until he heard voices outside the ward.
Carefully, he walked out without making a sound.
It was the police.
"Mr. Bennet, the police want a transcript."
Albert explained.
"No, she's very weak and can't speak easily. She can't do it now."
Brian resolutely refused.
"I'm the victim's guardian, and I have the right to know what's going on."
Brian had been in the hospital these days and got no news from the police.
Of course, the police knew who Brian was and told him the situaion.
"Mr. Bennet, the three people caught said that there was another person. They were only responsible
for bringing Miss Chambers back. they took Miss Chambers to the third floor and then went
downstairs..."
The police gave a detailed account of the three people's statements and how Winnie resisted. Finally,
the focus was on the fourth person.
Continued the policeman.
"The three of them said they were paid by the fourth man. They did not see who he looked like. We had
checked the phone number we contacted with them. The real name of the phone number was not
consistent with the case, and the phone number was activated after the loss of identity documents."
"That is to say, the person behind this has long planned, and its anti-reconnaissance ability is very
strong and had minimized the risk."
"We heard that Miss Chambers had woken up and wanted to ask if she had any impression of the
person, such as physical features," he said.
Brian once again frowned. He thought there were only three people and did not expect that there was a
fourth person.
"Not now. She's stimulated and unstable in mood. I'll call you in a few days when she's better."
No matter for what, Brian would not let the police see Winnie and mention the things at that time,
Winnie must not accept it.
After the police left, Brian looked around and asked Albert.
“How is the investigation on Penny?”
"She has been at home for the past few days and has not detected any suspicious messages on her
phone."
"What about those two people who threatened Winwin according to Daenerys?"
Brian continued to ask in a cold voice.
"I have just received a message about the two men. I have found them. Surprisingly, it seems to be
Richard Burns, Penny's father, who is behind the scenes."
Albert came back and met the police before the report. And now he had the chance to tell him the
results of the investigation.
Hearing that, Brian looked at Albert sharply.
"Richard Burns?"
"I think it was him. I have made a video record. They said that a middle-aged man had come to them. I
investigated again and asked them to recognize him. It turned out that the middle-aged man was
Richard Burns' assistant."
Albert told him all the details.
"I see, keep it quiet. Accelerate the acquisitions."
Brian carefully walked back to the ward after that.
He stood by the bed and looked out of the window, with his thoughts reverberating in the matter that
Albert had just reported.
Since it was Richard, it must be related to Penny. Did they really have something to do with this
matter?
Penny had always been cautious, as last car accident, she would remove all responsibility before she
took a move. She didn’t feel guilty afterwards and acted as if nothing had happened.
It seemed that his blindly forbearing did not make Penny repent, again and again she provoked his
patience.
One day she would realize that you messed with the wrong person. She had done too much wrong
thing to Winnie. You were gonna pay for this.
Brian returned to the bedside. Seeing that Winnie having a sound sleep, he lay down and
unconsciously even fell asleep.
He slept soundly this night.
Finally he opened his eyes.
The room was dark except for the faint glow of a single yellow lamp. He looked out of the window and
realized it was dark and the stars had already come out.
He slowly turned around and looked at Winnie. He found that Winnie had opened her eyes and was
looking at him.
"You're awake? Why didn't you wake me up?"
As he spoke, he sat up.
"I just woke up. You are sleeping soundly, so I didn’t wake you up."
Winnie's voice was a little better than that in the morning, but she still dared not speak loudly.
"Are you feeling ok? Shall I ask Kevin to come?"
Brian continued to ask.
"No, don't bother him. It's getting dark and you haven't had your dinner yet. Go to your dinner."
Looking at Brian's gaunt face, Winnie was distressed.
She thought Brian was the object of her lifelong crush, but when she woke up in the intensive care unit
to see Brian, she had an impulse.
She had the impulse to tell Brian that she loved him, it was better than to die with regret.
But before she said anything, she passed out again, and when she woke up, when she was alone in
the intensive care unit thinking, she came back to reality, and got rid of that idea.
"I'm not hungry, and I don't want to eat now. Albert will send dinner over when I want to eat."
Brian just woke up and had no appetite. Winnie had not eaten anything. He could not eat in front of her.
"You have lost weight in the past two days. Your beard has grown out."
Winnie reached out her hand and touched Brian's chin lightly. Although there was not enough light, she
could still see Brian's tired face clearly.
Was he tired and haggard for her? Was he worried about her, sad for her, so he did not take care of
himself? And his tears in the intensive care unit were because of her? If it was the truth, Winnie would
be happy and satisfied.
"As long as you are fine, I can lost weight."
Brian said softly. This was his most gentle attitude to Winnie, For he could not speak to her in a cold
voice now.
Brian was afraid of Winnie would get her wound hurt when she stretched hands, so he quickly put his
face down so that Winnie would be easy to move. However, his thoughtfulness and gentle tone made
Winnie got tears in eyes.
If Brian could treat her like this all the time, she would rather lie in bed all her life. It was a kind of
happiness to look at him like this all her life.
"You know, at the moment before I stabbed myself with the knife, I felt so desperate and so sorry.
There are so many concerns that I don't want to leave."
Winnie said with emotion, the concerns included Brian.
"What my two children do if I die? I owe Megan a father, owe Luke a mother. If I die, they would have
regret."
She owed them a complete home.
"My aunt will be sad if I die. She won't be able to carry on. Without spiritual support, Vanessa will have
to support her whole family. She will be as tired as me for the rest of her life."
"Daenerys will be said if I die, and Leo will live with guilt."
Winnie had been unable to hold back tears, feeling herself to the moment of despair.
Brian reached out to wipe her tears. And Winnie moved the line of sight with tearful eyes to Brian's
face, looking at his distressed eyes because of her.
"If I die, I'll never see you again."
Winnie said she would not show her love, but it was ok to say it in this way, she thought.
After this sentence, Winnie's line of sight got blurred and she could not see Brian's expression, which
was good, so that she did not have to see his disdainful expression.
Winnie could not stop talking.
"At that moment, I finally understood why people die with their eyes closed. I thought if I died, I must
have my eyes open, because there are too many concerns and too many unexpressed feelings. I can
only die with my eyes open."
Winnie was sobbing and deeply afraid of death.
"Don't cry, don't cry. It will never happen again. I will protect you. I will not let you die. You cannot die
without my permission in this life."
Brian wanted to hug Winnie to comfort her, but was afraid to touch her wounds. He wanted to kiss
away her tears, but he was afraid that she was emotional and got fainted again.
All he could do was continue to wipe her tears in bewilderment.
