When Kevin turned to look at Winnie and saw the bitter smile on her face, he realized that he couldn't
continue the joke.
"Winwin, is the pain bearable?"
Getting back to business, Kevin became serious.
"Not as painful as yesterday. I can bear it."
Winnie answered indifferently.
"Hang in there. Tomorrow will be better."
Kevin comforted Winnie.
Winnie was a lonely woman. Even if she was sick now, she could not tell her family, she was poor.
Kevin believed that Winnie was the strongest woman in the world. She suffered loneliness and had to
support her family.
"How many days will it take me to be well? I still have a lot of work to do."
Winnie asked Kevin. She wanted Kevin to give her a reason to leave.
"Don't worry about work. The most important thing is to get well. Just give yourself a holiday and take a
rest."
Kevin gave an answer that was not what she wanted to hear, but she could not say anything.
"All right. Thank you for your help."
“Don’t be so polite. Without Brian and Daenerys, we are still good friends.
"Well, take care. I'll be here at this time tomorrow."
Kevin was to leave. Brian followed him out.
In the courtyard of the villa.
Kevin and Brian chatted as they walked.
"Brian, you are so worried about Winwin, why do you hide your heart?"
“Will you not talk about it?”
These were the last words Brian wanted to hear, because it would easily shake his determination.
"Why? I feel like you're torturing each other. Why don’t you feel the taste of love?"
Kevin violated the commitment to Daenerys and began to persuade Brian.
"Brian, you didn't realize that you fell in love with each other from the beginning of the surrogacy till
now. I think this is natural. Don't you feel bad for torturing each other just like this?
"You know, Winwin could get hurt if she was with me. Grandpa would not allow us to be together."
"It's not that I don't want to be with Winwin. I confessed to my grandpa. My grandpa told me that if I
want to be with Winwin, I have to acquire the Yup Group.”
"And you should know grandpa, with his strength, it is easy for him to make Winwin disappear in B City.
If Winwin disappears, what would the two children do, what would I do?"
Brian had to scruple too many things, consider too many people. There was not only love in his life.
"Grandpa thinks Winwin has a bad family background. This is not difficult for you. You have helped the
Yup Group to develop, and you can help Winwin.”
Kevin understood what Brian said. But he did not want Winnie to like a life like that.
"Even if I help Winwin, what about the Yup Group? Should it acquire it?"
Brian asked Kevin. It must not happen.
Kevin sighed. There was nothing to defend but there was nothing better to do.
"Go back, Winnie needs company."
Kevin left with disappointment again, but he had no intention of giving up.
He hoped that Brian would figure out a way and not let Winnie become a victim of love.
Brian returned to Winnie's room, where she was sitting with a voice chat on her cell phone.
"I can't be there now. You ask them to do something else, I will take time to work on that."
Winnie put down the phone and looked at Brian.
"You can do your work, and I will call you when I am done with infusion."
Winnie was not afraid that Brian heard her chat, but that she delayed too much Brian's time.
"As I said, I am not busy these two days."
Brian said coldly, it seemed that Winnie drove him away made him dissatisfied.
At this time, Winnie got a voice message and she clicked it.
"No problem, don’t worry, I can take care of it."
Brian heard that it was the voice of Leo, and his face changed.
"Is it Leo? Are you talking about work?"
Asked Brian coldly.
"Yes, we're working together on a game and it comes to the important part."
Winnie didn't hide it, because when it came to work, it relaxed her mood.
"The game? Your work?"
"Yes, my work."
Winnie answered lightly.
"Didn't I tell you to sell me when you have new work?"
Brian's voice was colder, not because Winnie's work was not sold to him, but because Leo was her
collaborator. It seemed that Winnie cared more about Leo.
"If I sell it to you, we will have more intersection. If so, Wendy, Chairman will not be at ease."
Winnie knew she was not liked, even hated. So she did her best not to bother these people or provoke
Brian.
She would rather earn less, though she might make more money developing with Brian, and she could
get a better price selling to him.
"You are thoughtful."
Brian could only say so. He was helpless in front of Winnie and there were many things he could not
explain.
He wanted to keep in touch with Winnie in the business and it would be low-key happiness, but it would
cause the suspicion of the people, and bring unnecessary trouble to Winnie.
It seemed that they could meet for the sake of the children.
"I just don’t want to put you to any trouble. It's been almost a year since I came back, and I've given
you a lot of trouble. I'm sorry, and I hope that..."
"Winwin, don't say that."
Winnie's words made Brian ashamed.
These words should be said to Winnie, it was him brought suffering to Winnie.
Listening to Winnie's words, Brian felt ashamed and uneasy.
Brian’s words made the bedroom quiet for a while.
"May I ask you a question?”
Winnie broke the silence.
"Go ahead."
Brian was guilty, and even dare not look up at Winnie.
"There are two phones in the drawer, one is the one I used, the other is..."
Winnie did not know why she asked such a question. Perhaps she was curious about it all the time, or
perhaps she wanted to break the silence. Anyway, she cared about everything about Brian.
"I don't know, but there is a picture of a woman's back in the phone. I think it should have been kept
before I lost my memory. The memory I lost has a special meaning, so it has been sitting there."
Brian could not recall anything about the phone, so he explained.
In addition to this picture, there was nothing special, but for Brian, this was the most suspicious.
For so many years, he wondered why he kept a picture of a woman's back, and what kind of
intersection he had with this woman.
"It should an important picture, or you wouldn't have kept it."
Winnie said indistinctly, but she was acerb in heart.
It was a woman with a story. There were so many unknown women around Brian.
Winnie did not know how he would deal with the relationship between Wendy and her, if he
remembered that woman in the picture was also his true love.
Winnie should be glad at the moment of her own reason. With all the women around him, one day she
would go the way of Penny.
Winnie told herself that it was good to pay close attention to Brian silently. Although she could not get
him or his heart, she had not been abandoned.
"It doesn't matter whether it's important or not. The picture was taken many years ago and was taken
abroad. Even retrieving the memory won't change anything."
Brian knew that the word "woman" was very sensitive to Winnie, and he had thought whether this
woman was the one he liked.
But now even if this woman appeared, even if he recovered his memory, his favorite woman was still
Winnie and it would never change.
"Yes, it's been a long time."
It seemed that Winnie thought Brian had always loved Wendy and no one would change that.
Downstairs Winnie's house.
Rufus had been there for a while, but wondered if he should go up, what he would say to them, and
how he should explain the relation between him and Isobel.
But he wanted to see Isobel and tell her some details.
As Rufus was hovering and hesitating, Vanessa suddenly appeared.
"Sir, what are you doing here?"
Vanessa was surprised and excited. She had not seen Rufus for a long time.
"Vanessa."
Rufus calmed down, because he had experienced a lot of thing after all.
"I have a friend here. I come to see my friend."
"Ok, come to our home too. The children are not at home. My aunt is alone. By the way, you have not
seen my aunt yet. I'll take you to her."
Vanessa was very enthusiastic and took Rufus up.
"No, my friend will come downstairs to meet me in a minute. I'll meet your aunt sometime."
Rufus refused, because with Vanessa around, he did not know how he should communicate with
Isobel.
"All right, I should go back to school. I will see you some day."
"Good-bye, Sir!”
Vanessa headed to school. Rufus had been looking at Vanessa's back, and had a kind of extraordinary
feeling.
From Vanessa's word, Rufus was certain that Isobel was at home alone. It seemed that this opportunity
was created to him.
So Rufus went upstairs decisively.
