No matter what Winnie was thinking, she would not ask a single word. She should experience it and
accept it and should not complain.
"It is ok, don’t take it in your heart."
"Winwin, I'm sorry I didn't find you in the first time."
Brian could not help but say sorry. He knew Winnie did not like to hear that, but he had to say sorry.
"Nothing to be sorry about."
Hearing "sorry", Winnie felt uncomfortable. But this time she endured it because he still did a lot of
things he was sorry about, though she required him not to say sorry.
In other words, even if she asked, he still couldn't do it.
"I was on the plane at that time, both Morgan's and my mobile phones were turned off," He said.
Brian intended to explain clearly. When it came to plane, he had to mention Wendy.
"Winwin, besides Morgan, Wendy was with me. Based on the time, Oscar and Wendy should have
come by the same plane."
Brian paused and wanted to continue. At this time Winnie felt more bitter and then said.
"I know, Oscar told me. But I didn't know you were on a plane again."
Winnie really did not expect that. She thought Brian did not go to find his memories, but to see Wendy.
So, Brian wanted to take Wendy to find his memories back. That explained everything. Brian did not
know that she was taken away by the police. Brian was not in the same city with her, so he could not
appear at the first time.
Since so, even if he didn't show up, she should not complain.
"We flew to another city. I told you I would go to see the accident site. I planned to drive there, but I
wanted to have dinner with you at night, and if I drove, I couldn't come back, so I took a plane, but I
missed the best time to find you."
Brian was sorry. He wanted to explain it clearly, so that Winnie would not have wild thought.
"No, I don't blame you. I'm all right now."
“Brian, I want to ask you a question. If this didn't happen to Oscar and me, will you tell me that Wendy
is here too?"
Winnie knew that this question had no meaning at all. If he wanted to tell her, he would have told her
when he left the hotel. Why wait until now when it was difficult to explain?
Brian did not expect Winnie would ask such a question. Since she asked, it proved that she minded,
and he could not lie.
"No, I will not tell you that Wendy is here. I did not tell you not because it was shady, but because I was
afraid of affecting your mood, afraid of affecting Luke’s competition."
Brian was honest and he gave the candid answer. But hearing such an answer, she felt uncomfortable.
Human being was strange. She did not want to be deceived by her man, but sometimes when she
could not face the reality, she wished him lied.
"I understand, don’t worry, your memories will come back sooner or later. Take your time. I can't help
you in this matter and only Wendy can help you."
Winnie pretended to be ok. If he came to get his memories back, why did they met when they were
home?
‘Oh, Brian, you're crushing me, you know? Do you love me or not, why you are worried about me when
I have an accident, but after that, you are still on your way.”
‘Can only Wendy help you with your memories? Can't you get your memories back without her? Can't
you keep distance from her and not meet her frequently?’
‘My heart hurts, you make me lose the ability of judgment.’
Winnie could only say that in her heart. Even if she said it out, no one could understand her mood.
"I asked Wendy to come with me. I wanted her to help me remember..."
"All right, are you trying to explain for Wendy? Or are you afraid that I would argue with Wendy? No, I
can understand everything you do. You don't have to take it so seriously."
Brian wanted to explain more specifically, but Winnie really did not like to listen to Brian again and
again called the name of Wendy.
She did not care about their affairs and had no right to care. If Brian said he still liked Wendy, she
would give up without hesitation.
With this realization, Winnie felt that it was enough. She had no expectation of the future, and had been
ready to lose him at any time, otherwise she could not bear the pain when it came.
"Winwin, thank you for your understanding."
Brian did not explain anymore. As long as Winnie did not get angry, he was at ease.
"I feel sleepy and want to sleep, so do you. It must have been a day of worry and fatigue. Lie down and
get some sleep, or else you'll be back to work."
Winnie used the excuse of being sleepy and tried to end the topic, which made people feel bad.
As she said, she moved her body, indicating Brian to lie on the bed. As for the two policemen, let them
stand if they were not tired and sleepy.
Winnie did fall asleep, and Brian closed his eyes to sleep. But they woke up after only a few hours of
sleep.
They were woken up, but they didn't know by whom, because there were a lot of people, except Oscar
and Morgan, who were all foreign policemen.
It was the first time Winnie and Brian got up in this situation, they didn't know what was going on.
"Mr. Bennet, I told them you were sleeping, but they insisted on coming in."
At this moment Morgan walked over to the bed and explained.
Brian got out of bed, but did not let Winnie get out of bed. He let her sit on the bed.
"Oscar, are you all right?"
The first person Brian said to was Oscar. First, he wanted to make sure he was OK.
"I'm fine. How's Winwin?"
After answering Brian, Oscar asked Winnie.
"I'm all right, too."
Winnie smiled faintly. After seeing Oscar, her mental condition was much better.
It was the best that both of them were all right, but there were so many police there, it seemed the thing
had to be settled now.
Brian became serious, and his face became cold with his imposing momentum.
"So many of you come here, do you want to take them away from me?"
Brian asked angrily. His king like momentum frightened the police and then police gave a smile.
"Sir, I'm the leader of the police station. I would like to begin by apologizing for what has happened to
your wife. It was our staff who made a mistake. Today......"
"Made a mistake? Can such a simple sentence explain? You detained them without questioning or
investigation, and you even did not give them water. Do you think it is a mistake?"
Brian angrily interrupted his words. He could not accept such an understatement of the explanation.
"I am really sorry, Sir, it does not comply with the regulations. It was because we were too busy to
notice them."
"Your wife and your friend's jobs are special, we suspected that they were hacker, so we wanted secret
investigation and can't disturb anyone."
"That's our rule, too, we have to abide by it. Again, I'm sorry."
As the leader said that, the police bowed deeply to Winnie and Oscar and said sorry.
"Their work is special, and I know you are right to be cautious. But you will never have such treatment
in our country. You talk about human rights, do you think there are no human rights for us foreigners?
Do you think our country is not strong enough and you can trample on our dignity?"
Brian still could not accept such an explanation and questioned the police angrily.
"We didn't mean to trample on our dignity, Sir. Your country is strong, we never look down on it. It is
dereliction of duty of our staff. What do you want to solve it? The police involved can make a public
apology, and we will compensate for the medical expenses of your wife and friend. We will apologize to
the embassy."
"Which solution do you find satisfactory?"
The policeman said humbly, as long as not to make things big, he could do anything.
"Brian."
Winnie called Brian, and Brian looked towards Winnie.
"Now that they have admitted dereliction of duty, let's forgive them."
Winnie didn't want to make it big. They had better keep a low profile so as not to affect their children's
mood, since they were there for a competition.
"Winwin, you are softhearted again, do you forget how they did to you?"
Brian had guessed what Winnie would say, but he hated the police thinking of what happened
yesterday.
"Well, we are in a foreign country, we’d better not to make it big. Oscar and I are all right, but it was the
best result."
Winnie insisted on her opinion. Seeing so many people standing in front of her and apologizing, she felt
that this was their sincerity.
Brian sighed, and did not know what to do.
"I don't need you to pay for mental damage or medical expenses, and I don't care if your jobs are lost
or not. But an apology must be made publicly to my wife and friend in the press."
Brian could not just let it go like that or lose his morale in another country.
"Sure, as long as you are satisfied, we can apologize in front of the media publicly."
No matter what request Brian put forward, the police would do their best to agree. It was better than
escalating things to diplomacy.
The police apologized repeatedly. Before leaving, they gave back the ID card to Oscar, so this storm
was over.
Winnie returned to the hotel, only to know that Luke invaded the police monitoring system, and
accurately found their location. Although she was happy that her son could complete such a difficult
hacking technique, Winnie was worried that there would be traces left behind.
So she had to access it to see if all Luke’s browsing traces had been eliminated and she would erase it
if any.
To her relief, Luke did a good job and did not leave a trace.
"Luke did a good job, but no matter happened in the future, don’t let him do such a dangerous thing,
especially when we are in a foreign country, or he might end up under arrest if there is any mistake."
Winnie reminded Brian.
"I thought of it. I was really worried that I couldn't find you. I won't risk him
anymore."
Brian sighed, and did not know what to do.
"| don't need you to pay for mental damage or medical expenses, and | don't care if your jobs are lost
