Winnie said jokingly, but she was more curious. She took a look at the note on the roses.
"Kevin? Roses from Doctor Burns?"
Winnie asked in surprise. Although she could guess what happened between them, but she did not
expect that.
"Yes, Doctor Burns’. He must be crazy."
Daenerys did not understand what was wrong with Kevin. Why did he do things that made her feel the
burden?
"You're in a relationship?”
Winnie boldly asked. She knew what the rose represented.
"No, we are not."
Daenerys said no as quickly as she could, with panic in her voice.
Seeing her reaction, Winnie smiled. She seemed have understood everything.
"Tell me the truth."
"When have I ever told you a lie? I said no. Now, He sends flowers and makes phone calls to me or
goes to the cafeteria to get me the dinner. I feel the burden."
Daenerys explained.
"That is a good thing. His purpose is obvious. Why are you baffling?"
Winnie smiled, showing her dimples.
Kevin is a good man. Although he was not as prominent as Brian’s family, such a family had no
pressure.
Daenerys’ parents were doctors, and she was engaged in medical equipment. Her family condition was
good. Winnie thought that they matched each other in every way.
Why hadn’t she thought they could have a closer relationship?
"I just couldn't figure it out. I couldn't see him liking me in any way. That's why I couldn't figure it out."
Daenerys did not want their relationship to be bound by responsibility or Kevin to be with her for one-
night stand.
"Is that why you're avoiding Kevin?"
Winnie asked.
She thought it was the reason, but she felt there was other reason.
"Yes or no?”
Daenerys blushed and did not know if she should tell Winnie about it.
"Kevin told me to ask you about what happened between you. If you don't, he will tell me. Shall I ask
Kevin now?"
Winnie thought her threat was despicable, she was curious seeing that Daenerys was shy.
"He..."
Daenerys was angry, but she could not say anything.
If Kevin had really said that, he would tell Winnie everything. It was better to confess to Winnie by
herself.
"Well, I will tell you. Don't ask him."
In this way, with little effort, Winnie's curiosity was satisfied.
Daenerys told everything to Winnie, including the one-night stand. Although she blushed, she felt sweet
thinking of what happened.
Winnie looked at Daenerys in surprise widening her eyes. She did not expect that.
"I didn't know that. You hid it well, Daenerys."
"One night stand is not something to brag about, so why should I talk about it?"
"I thought we would not meet again, but we met again."
Daenerys said helplessly, but Winnie had caught the happiness in her eyes.
"So you're destined to meet, and it's not really one-night stand anymore. The first time was an accident,
the second time you were willing to do that, and the third time it was mixed with feelings. Honestly, do
you like Doctor Burns?"
Winnie asked. Her things were in a mess and not she began to analyze Daenerys’ relationship.
Daenerys did not know that.
"I think Doctor Burns likes you, Daenerys. He's not the kind of man who wants to be bound by things.
He must have feeling for you."
"You can meet again, it must be fate. I advise you to have a try, do not lose him, do not regret."
Winnie persuaded Daenerys. She knew Daenerys had feeling on Kevin too, but she did not notice that,
or she did not dare to admit it.
"You and Brian met again too, and you have two children. It is a fate. Why you lost each other?"
With the experience of Winnie, Daenerys did not feel that the reunion was fate. She had better to stay
away from it.
Daenerys’ words hurt Winnie and her face darkened.
"Daenerys, we are different. There is a huge gap between us. We started as a transaction. We did not
meet based on equal terms, so there is no ending."
"Doctor Burns fixes to you in every aspect. Give it a try or it will be sad."
Winnie seemed to have deep feeling. It was just a joke between her and Brian.
A joke was nothing compared with reality.
"Did I say something I shouldn't have said? Winwin, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings."
Daenerys realized she had said the wrong words and apologized.
She regretted using Winnie and Brian as examples. Winnie had been sad because of this thing, she
still mentioned that.
"It's all right, don't make a fuss. I'm not sad anymore. After a while, I'll forget Brian. Then I can move
on."
"Daenerys, I just think it's rare for a love like this to happen. Try it. It's best if it turns out well, and you
won't regret it, because Doctor Burns is a good man."
Winnie tried to persuade Daenerys. She did not want Daenerys to lose Doctor Burns, to lost the right
man like she did.
"Well, don't worry about me. I'll think about it."
If Daenerys did not agree, Winnie would be concerned.
Winnie felt relieved and she would continue to pay attention to it. She thought they could be a happy
couple.
The road ahead of her and Brian is dark, and even there was no way out, but she was very optimistic
about the relationship between Daenerys and Kevin.
But she was the miserable one.
Winnie put the two children to sleep at night before she came to Vanessa’s room. She had given her
two days to think it over, and now she came to hear the result.
"How is your consideration?"
Winnie asked softly.
"Sister, I don't want to go abroad. The thought of living abroad fills me with dread. May I not go?"
Vanessa replied in a low voice, with reluctance on her face.
"Have you decided, Vanessa? It's a great opportunity."
Winnie confirmed with her. Now she wanted to put aside everything for Vanessa. But she would never
force Vanessa, especially after she said she feared.
After all, she was ill, and no one could be sure that if she would relapse in an unfamiliar environment.
"Yes, I don't want to go aboard now. I'm thinking about it when I finish college."
Vanessa had been thinking very clearly. But it was not fear that kept her from going abroad. It was
Winnie.
Now she knew the identity of Luke and knew that Brian would not let Luke go. If she insisted on going
abroad under such circumstances, it must be difficult for her sister.
If her sister gave up Luke, she would live in the guilt for a lifetime.
For her sister, she could only try to let her sister have an easier life.
"Ok, I respect your choice."
Winnie dare not and could not be demanding. It was fine if they did not leave, even so, they could live
well.
"Do you want to apply for University B?"
Winnie asked.
"Yes, I want to apply for University B. My score will be all right."
Vanessa said confidently.
It was good to study abroad, but she did not expect that.
She chose University B rather than other universities was because of her sister. At least she could be
with her children and help them in time when they needed her.
"Ok, apply for it. University B called me today and gave you an unconditional offer."
Winnie supported her sister's decisions, but at the moment she was upset.
She wanted to take this opportunity to leave Brian though she felt reluctant to leave, but if she stayed,
she felt depressed. Now she was tangled, and the cause of all was because she fell in love with Brian.
"That's good. I won't have to fill in any application. Sister, I will go back tomorrow and help aunt to sell
the drugstore as soon as possible. We can face difficulties together."
Now Vanessa was worried about Luke. She hoped that she could come back as soon as possible to
help sister to protect Luke and Megan.
"Vanessa, don't urge aunt. I will tell her about Luke when she is here. As long as you come back before
school starts."
Winnie said softly, wanting to give her aunt more time to accept B City.
Winnie went back to her room, but she was not happy. Things had come to such a point that she had
no choice but to move forward if she wanted to end her troubled life as soon as possible.
Winnie stood by the window in a daze. Suddenly the phone on the bed rang.
She turned to pick up her phone and frowned when she saw the caller ID.
"Hello, Chairman."
She had to pick up the phone thought she did not want to because she had an unfinished task.
“I heard there's been some improvement in the relationship between Brian and his father.”
Felix seriously confirmed with her.
"I think so, but I can't go on with this task. I am sorry, Chairman. Please ask someone else for help."
