Kevin continued to ask.
“Does Brian know?”
“No, I didn’t call him. I’m afraid I’ll alarm everyone.”
Winnie did not want to tell Brian, but Megan was injured and could not hide it.
“Then he must be told. He is the father and should know.”
Kevin pulled out his phone and was to call Brian. But Winnie stopped him.
“Don’t call, Brian’s second uncle is there now. He will be overreacted if he knows it and his second
uncle will suspect it. I’ll call him when I get home later.”
Winnie considered it for Brian. If it were not for the fear of leaking Megan and Luke’s identities, Winnie
would not have taken the children to leave, and they would not meet Wendy and encounter such a
scaring thing.
“OK, then call him later.”
Kevin felt Winnie loved Brian too much. No matter what it was, she considered Brian’s feeling, rather
than herself. This kind of love was losing herself.
“By the way, Winwin, I just seemed to see Wendy, what did she come for?”
Kevin suddenly thought of the figure he had just seen, but he wasn’t quite sure.
However, Winnie’s words made Kevin suspicious.
“No, I didn’t see Wendy, did you see the wrong person?”
Winnie tried to hide. Lying needed skill and not everyone could do that.
“Mommy...”
As Megan wanted to speak, Winnie stopped her.
“Megan, I know you’re not feeling well, and we’ll come home at once.”
With that, Winnie stood up holding Megan in arms, and holding Luke with one hand.
“Get back to work, if there is something wrong with Megan, I will call you. Megan is scared, I will take
her home and comfort her.”
Winnie hurried to find an excuse to leave.
“I’ll see you off.”
Kevin followed Winnie and wanted to take over Megan.
“No need, the owner of the hotpot shop has been waiting for us. He will send us back. And we should
get settlement on this. You go back to work. I will contact you if there is something wrong.”
Winnie refused and walked out of the hospital with her two children.
Back home, Winnie changed the children’s clothes, and sat them on the sofa because she had
something to tell them.
“Luke, Megan, I have words to say to you.”
“I have forgiven Wendy today, so you let it go.”
Winnie said in a mild tone, afraid that the two children did not come out in fear.
“Why? Why should we forgive her? She is bad.”
It was Megan who asked the question, and she couldn’t understand Mommy’s forgiveness.
Luke saw the whole process, so he did not speak and he could understand Mommy’s kindness and
forgiveness.
“Wendy is bad, but she has already apologized to me. We can’t just hold on to her shortcomings.
Forgiving others is a kind of comfort to ourselves. I feel good not, but if we pursue it, we will really be
enemies.”
Winnie knew that Megan could not accept that, so she explained it carefully.
“Megan, which one do you think is better, to become enemies or friends?”
Winnie asked Megan, hoping that she could understand.
“Of course to be friends, but Mommy, Wendy can’t be our friend.”
Megan had her own views on this matter.
“Why not?”
Winnie asked in reply.
“Because she and you are rivals. It is impossible for rivals to be friends. There is only one possibility
between rivals.”
Megan said unfathomably, like an old pedant, like a philosopher with rich experience. She analyzed
human nature thoroughly. It made Winnie laugh.
“Where did you learn that from?”
“That’s what they say on TV. Doesn’t it suit the situation between you and Wendy?”
Megan did not think her words funny, but felt realistic.
“Well, well, well, you’re right. But we can’t have an enemy even if we can’t be friends. If you have an
enemy, you will always worry that she will seek revenge. There are a lot of things to spend your energy
on in this world. You can’t put all your energy on enemies.”
Winnie tried her best to persuade Megan. One reason was that she did not want Megan to be cruel and
the other was to stop the children from telling it to their Daddy.
“Megan, we should be tolerant, and kind. In this way, when we make mistakes, someone will help us.”
Winnie said that looking at Megan, hoping that she could understand.
Megan was silent and did not contradict Mommy.
Luke was worried seeing that Megan did not speak, so he helped Mommy persuade Megan.
“Megan, Mommy has taught Wendy a lesson today, I stood there watching. Mommy slapped Wendy in
the face twice, and Wendy had given sincere apology. Let us forgive her once.”
Luke pacified Megan, but he felt he could not forgive Wendy. Even if she did not hurt Megan’s foot, her
words had hurt his heart.
She was cruel and impersonal, and such a person would not change even if he forgave her.
Now Luke just wanted to grow up quickly, so that he could protect his mother and sister.
“Did Mommy really hit Wendy? Is Mommy really that awesome?”
As expected, Megan was excited to hear this news.
She didn’t care how Wendy apologized, she just wanted to know whether Mommy was so awesome.
Because she did not like Wendy even if she apologized, and did not want to accept that cruel woman.
“Yes, I saw it, so you can forgive Wendy, because she was punished.”
He was still excited by his mother’s two powerful slaps.
He thought that was the way Mommy was supposed to protect herself from being bullied.
“Ok, I’ll forgive her for Mommy had avenged for me.”
Megan smiled from ear to ear.
“Megan, I am jealous. I said a lot, but it didn’t work, while Brother only said such a thing, you agreed to
forgive Wendy.”
Winnie pretended to be dissatisfied, because she wanted to put forward the next request. Because the
two children were so smart, Winnie could only use tricks.
“No, Mommy, I am not partial. If you think I am partial, I can promise one of your requests.”
Megan coaxed Mommy with a sweet voice afraid that Mommy would get angry.
When Winnie saw her ‘prey’ fall into her trap, she knew her chance came.
“You said that, and I do have a request.”
Winnie was pleased. The children looked at each other and thought they had been cheated.
“Don’t tell Daddy what happened today, and just tell him Megan got scalded accidentally, ok?”
Winnie gave a sly smile.
The two children knew that they had been fooled, but they had promised Mommy, and they could not
go back on their words.
Even though Winnie knew that they would still have a shadow in their hearts, it was enough that they
were no longer heavy.
Winnie wanted to let it go. She knew it had impact on the children, but it was not serious.
After that, she told the children to play, and she cooked noodles for them, after all, the accident
happened before they had finished the hot pot.
The children had the noodle, but she did not. She looked good on the surface, but in fact she was very
depressed.
When the two children went upstairs to sleep, Winnie got some free time. Sitting on the sofa, she
picked up the phone and looked at the time, thinking whether the Bennet family was sleeping at this
time and whether Brian was convenient to answer the phone at this time.
When Winnie hesitated, the doorbell rang suddenly. Winnie rushed to the door for fear of waking the
children. Seeing the person in the monitor was Brian, she immediately opened the door.
“Why are you so late?”
Winnie did not expect Brian would come here, so she asked with doubts.
“I miss you. I am restless being alone, so I came.”
Brian said naturally, as if the person in front of him was his legal wife, and it was natural for him to miss
her.
He changed his shoes as he spoke, and came in.
However, Winnie was worried, it seemed that Brian had induction for Megan’s injury.
“Have all the visitor gone?”
Winnie asked softly.
“Yes, my sister and brother-in-law have gone to bed.”
“Have Megan and Luke been asleep?”
Brian asked. He still did not feel relieved when he saw Winnie.
“Yes, they’re asleep, too.”
“Brian, I have something to tell you.”
Winnie walked to the front of Brian with a face of guilt.
“What’s the matter?”
Asked Brian. Seeing Winnie’s seriousness, his uneasiness increased.
“Megan’s foot got scalded. We......”
As Winnie to explain, Brian interrupted her.
“Scalded? Was it badly scalded?”
Then he walked towards the room of Megan, followed by Winnie.
“Don’t you worry, it’s nothing serious. Be quiet, they had just fallen asleep.”
Winnie had to remind Brian, afraid of disturbing Megan.
Brian was very worried at the moment, because he did not see Megan’s injury. But he still carefully
pushed open the door of Megan.
The little feet of Megan were exposed, wrapped in gauze. Brian’s heart suddenly ached at this moment.
It was at this moment that he realized what kind of feeling as a parent to see his child got hurt.
Brian squatted down and stroked Megan’s feet. He wanted to ask the reason, but for fear of waking
Megan, he swallowed the words back.
There was swelling in the part not covered by gauze, which made Brian more worried.
He looked back at Winnie, but she couldn’t speak either, so she pulled Brian out with her
hand.
