Brian touched Winwin's head with his hand. It felt hot, but, to his relief, she began to sweat, which
proved that the fever was beginning to subside.
After checking, he was still not at ease.
"Morgan, arrange a whole body examination for her now."
"Yes, Mr. Bennet."
Morgan went to find a doctor, and the friend of the embassy was still negotiating with the police.
"We'll take care of her, you can watch here. Also, tomorrow morning, on behalf of the embassy, I will
formally talk with your leaders. The device in your hand can check out the basic information of our
people, but it has been delayed for such a long time that our people could not bear and fell ill. You are
clearly intentional, and I would raise objection to everyone involved, you station and your leaders."
After the embassy staff said that arrogantly, he walked directly to Brian.
Now the police were obviously afraid. If it went big, they would lose their jobs, and it would affect a lot
of diplomatic matters. Therefore, they did not contradict the embassy staff.
So Winnie was left in Brian's care, but two policemen were left to guard her.
Winnie did not confront Brian, she was finally relieved after a thorough examination.
In the hospital's advanced ward, Winnie's fever had subsided, but she was still lying in bed weakly. And
Brian had been sitting on the bed to watch her.
It was at this moment that Brian's nervous heart calmed down.
"What happened, Winwin?"
Brian asked softly when Winnie got better, now he looked different from himself just now like a crazy
lion.
"Alas......"
Winnie described it roughly.
"It's my fault. I thought the police would get it back sooner and Oscar didn't have to reapply for his ID
card. There would have been less hassle if we had asked the embassy for help directly."
Winnie felt it was her moment of oversight caused such a situation.
"Did the police make a hard time for you and Oscar?"
Brian repeated questions, afraid that Winnie would not tell him the truth.
"They locked us up in a temporary cell without questioning or investigating. They didn't even give us
water to drink. At supper time, they got off work directly and the ones on duty ignored us. We have not
had food yet.”
Winnie was not beaten, but the torture was crushing.
Two policemen were in the hospital room, but Winnie did not fear them and continued to tell what
happened to her.
"I have asked Morgan to get some food for you, and also asked the friend from the embassy to meet
Oscar."
Brian said gently, but he had scolded the police in heart for countless time.
He wanted to lock up all the policemen and starve them for ten days and nights to see what they could
do.
"It is ok to be hungry,, but I couldn't stand the damp and cold nights, or I wouldn't have had a high
fever."
Winnie still felt it dark and bleak, like a hell.
"Winwin, I will vent for you. I'm not going to let it go."
Brian said angrily staring at the two policemen.
The two policemen looked around, obviously they were afraid.
"Is Oscar all right?”
Winnie asked anxiously.
"Don't worry, he'll be all right."
"How about the children, did they cry?"
When Winnie asked about the children, her voice began to shake. She did not dare to imagine what the
children should do if she was missing. If Brian did not come to her, would the children live in a lifetime
with expectation?
"Megan cried, but Luke was tough. He's been taking care of his sister. But don't worry, I told them I
found you. Take a rest, eat and sleep and you will be all right."
Brian felt at ease after confirming Winnie was all right. He would take care of the police and the one
behind the scene.
Wendy was arranged by the hotel manager to stay in his hotel, but she did not know it was Brian's
hotel.
She kept fidgeting in the hotel. If it could not be handled well, she would be in trouble based on Brian's
attitude.
She did not know how long she had been worried in her room, only that her heart had been agitated,
and that it had been hanging there with a torturous feeling.
Just when she didn't know what to do, someone called.
As soon as the phone was connected, there was an urgent voice from the other side before Wendy
could speak.
"It's a bit of a mess. Now the embassy is involved and they may lose their jobs. When it comes to
diplomacy between the two countries, it's even more troublesome."
The man spoke, but Wendy was terrified.
"What, how could it be so serious?"
What she had been worried happened, Wendy did not know what to do now.
"I don't know what to do. If they investigate it, you and I will be exposed. The buck will fall on us."
The man was nervous, too. As his voice fell, he began to complaint.
"Why didn’t you tell me this woman's husband has such a background? If you had said it earlier, we
would have warmed her with a few words and let her go, and we would not make it big."
"This is a foreign country. Can his power extend abroad?"
Wendy thought that these two were not related. Brian was powerful, but he was in foreign countries,
and he had not privileges abroad.
"He is abroad, but his company has invested in many highly profitable enterprises in our country,
especially in this city. Can the country not take such people seriously?"
"He has threatened to escalate the matter into a foreign conflict if no one is in charge. He said he would
withdraw all his investments if he gets no explanation."
"Even the government of our city cannot afford such a big loss, let alone us personally."
The man was more and more nervous. He did not expect that a small thing would end up like this.
"What should we do? I can't be exposed. Jonny, help me. Make sure they don't know I did it."
Wendy begged the foreign man named Jonny.
Jonny sighed, and then paused for a moment before speaking.
"Wendy, I'll try my best to help you with this. But money is needed to keep the police' mouths shut."
"How much is it?”
Wendy asked eagerly.
"It needs a lot of money, otherwise things won't be settled down. They're doing me a favor at the risk of
losing their jobs. If money can solve it, it is the best outcome."
Wendy was silent, as she understood what that meant and she probably could not afford it.
But if it could not be handled well, she would have nothing in the future, what was the use of money?
"All right, you help me think of a way to solve it, I will pay for it."
Wendy had to agree, no matter what, she did not want to give up.
"There's one more thing you should agree with me."
Jonny continued.
"What?”
Wendy frowned, afraid of Jonny's questions.
"Remarry with me. If it is solved, remarry with me."
Sure enough, what Jonny said was what Wendy had been worried about. She had not contacted
Jonny, because she did not want to remarry him.
"Jonny, we..."
"The kid keeps looking for you, and I can't do anything about it. If you agree to remarry me, I will take
care of it, if you don’t agree, let nature take its course. If you're lucky, it might be resolved and you will
not be exposed even if you don’t spend a penny."
Jonny made a threat to Wendy who did not know what to do.
Wendy really wanted to scold him. Based on Brian's character, he would certainly pursue it. As long as
he pursued it, there must be results. And she would lose.
But what choice did she have now? No one had given her multiple choices. There was only one path,
and she had to go, even though it was full of thorns.
"Well, I agree. But I have to go back to my country first. I will come back when I take care of
everything."
Wendy could only reply Jonny like that. At the moment she had no choice, the most important thing
was to solve the problem.
Winnie looked better after eating some rice porridge. Other than weakness, there were no obvious
symptoms.
"Have some sleep. I will take care of everything."
Brian said softly. Looking at Winnie who was weak at the moment, he was distressed. Winnie would not
be in the hospital if he was around her and it would not be delayed.
"I can't sleep, I am worrying Oscar."
Winnie was weak, but not sleepy. It happened so suddenly that she was completely unprepared. And
there were other things bothering her, too. She couldn't possibly be sleepy.
"Although he hasn't been released yet, he's been fed and sheltered, and now he's sleeping. Winwin,
don't worry. Oscar will be all right. I'll get him out tomorrow."
Brian promised so that she would not be worried.
"Alas......I didn't expect it would happen. I've been here for years and I've never encountered anything
like this. I'm really disappointed now."
Winnie was not going to come to this city again. It was unsuitable for her. She must have done bad
things here in her last life and she had never met good things here this life.
"No one would have expected that, otherwise, I wouldn't have left you alone."
Brian was guilty that he could not give Winnie timely help.
If Oscar had not tried to make a phone call to him, he would not have met Winnie now.
When his woman needed him most, he was with another woman. He ate with other women when his
woman was hungry and sick. Such a man should go to hell and suffer inhuman torment.
Brian's words made Winnie think of Wendy. And then she gave a bitter smile and remembered why
Brian did not come to her immediately.
