Winnie suddenly thought of Penny and wanted to know if there was any progress on her.
Hearing Winnie's question, Officer Lee stopped eating and looked up seriously at Winnie.
"I am going to tell you that."
"What's the matter?”
Seeing that Officer Lee suddenly became serious, Winnie was nervous.
"She is not faking the disease. The final result is not available yet, but the doctor have tentatively
concluded that it is cancer."
"Cancer? What cancer?"
Winnie felt uneasy, she never thought Penny would get cancer. The news was too sudden for her to
take in.
"Stomach cancer."
Officer Lee's conclusion came from the doctor.
"Stomach cancer? So it's true that she has a stomachache? But stomach cancer has nothing to do with
stomachache. She should be fine after removing part of the stomach."
Winnie felt she could not accept it although it was not the final conclusion.
"That's what I told the doctor, but the doctor said if it moves to abdomen, there will be stomachache."
Officer Lee’s words were hard to accept.
Although Penny was Winnie's enemy, Winnie still remember the had beautiful days together, so she felt
it was unacceptable.
"Move to abdomen?"
Winnie asked incredulously, feeling upset.
"Don't worry, Officer Chambers, the test result hasn't come out yet. The doctor said it is just preliminary
diagnosis. It may not turn out so bad."
Officer Lee did not continue to say seeing that Winnie was worried.
In fact, the diagnosis might be accurate based on the doctor’s experience. But if Officer Lee continued
to say, Winnie might break down.
"......"
Winnie did not continue to ask, at the moment she also hoped that the result could be another
possibility and that the doctor's diagnosis was wrong.
After knowing what was wrong with Penny, Winnie had one more thing to worry about. She was worried
that Penny really got a cancer.
When she was back to the company and took elevator on the 30th floor, she saw Gloria came out from
another elevator.
Winnie gave a faint smile.
"You are here to see Mr. Bennet?"
She greeted politely.
"Yes, he asked me to be here, saying he has something to discuss with me. Have you just come
back?"
Gloria said that the reason she came deliberately.
"I just got back from lunch. I'll talk to you some day, I gotta work now."
Winnie was still indifferent, she did not care if Gloria deliberately said that to her.
Winnie left with a smile, then Gloria entered the office of Brian.
"We're still a couple or not? It's hard to see you."
Gloria came in and joked, pretending not to know Brian and Winnie had broken up.
"You see me not"
Brian with a cold face.
"It has been a long time we didn’t meet. If you are really my boyfriend, I'm afraid we would have broken
up."
Gloria saw Brian's cold face, but she did not care.
"Why are you here?"
Brian was not in the mood to joke, in addition to Winnie, he did not joke to any women.
"You're so boring. Forget it, get straight to the point."
It was not Brian asked her to be there, but she made an appointment for several days to see Brian
before she came.
"My dad's company recently needs a partner, and he asked if you are interested. If so, you are the first
choice, because you are his supposed son-in-law."
Gloria said in the form of a joke. She was afraid that Brian would be wary of her, so she said it as a
joke, so that Brian would not mind it.
"I'll talk to your father about business myself."
The implication was that Gloria should not be in the middle.
"Sure, I don't understand it even if you talk to me. My dad thought it would be better if I told you about
it. Let's have dinner tonight. And you can talk to my dad when we're having dinner."
Gloria invited Brian, in the name of business, Brian would not refuse.
"Ok, I'll arrange the time and place, and I will let you know."
Brian would not say no to official business.
"How is your relationship with your boyfriend these days?"
Brian deliberately asked about it and wanted to know if Gloria would marry him.
He had been tortured by Winnie, plus Winnie let him down and he was angry at Winnie, so he wanted
to marry Gloria.
Just every time he thought of it, Winnie’s sad face occurred to his mind.
He was eager to get to the bottom of the matter, but he feared that the truth was what the video
showed. Once Winnie and Stefan really had improper relationship, even if it was for the work, he would
not let Winnie stay.
"Alas...... Don't mention it. He doesn't trust me because we keep having scandals. He's always fighting
with me these days. I'm wondering how much longer we can hold out. I wonder if it's worth it if we
break up."
Gloria complained in a soft voice, it seemed that she had lost confidence in love.
"He doesn't believe that you and I are innocent. He doesn't have the most basic trust in me, and I'm
running out of motivation to continue our relationship."
Gloria said sadly trying to win the mercy of Brian.
However, her words made Brian have deja vu, because Winnie had said the same things to him.
Was Winnie was helpless like Gloria?
"You should consider whether we should continue acting."
Brian gave his advice and he did not ask if she wanted to marry him.
"Forget it. Let it be. If he doesn't believe in me, it doesn't matter how much I explain to him. I think I did
the right thing, and I asked his permission before we worked together. What he thinks of me is his
business."
Gloria would not stop the cooperation with Brian as he said.
"I have a clear conscience. Even if he breaks up with me, I won't ask him to stay, because such a man
is not worth it."
"But if I do break up, you should be responsible for me. You can't let him laugh at me."
Gloria said with a charming smile, she wanted Brian to be dubious. It was a reminder, but it would not
surprise him.
Brian was not in the mood to joke. He now thought if Winnie had the same thought as Gloria.
He did not do a good job and was not worth Winnie to stay. Even if she had grievances, even if she
could explain, but she thought he was not worth it.
Right? Could she have that thought?
"I have work to do. I'll talk to you tonight."
Brian was upset and asked Gloria to leave.
He wanted to calm down to think about the things between him and Winnie. But as long as he thought
of Winnie or heard her name, he could not calm down.
Winnie was worried about Penny the whole afternoon and had forgot that Gloria came to see Brian.
It was time to go off work, but she received a phone call from Emily, who asked her to eat out. And
Winnie selected the place for dinner.
Winnie chose the hot pot restaurant of Stefan after thinking.
Winnie did not go directly to the hot pot restaurant after work, but went to the hospital.
She wanted to go in the ward to see Penny, but the police outside did not know her, so she was not
allowed to go in and she could only secretly look at Penny outside the ward.
Penny had no other obvious symptoms except for her bad complexion. Winnie doubted whether the
doctor made a mistake.
Winnie went to the attending doctor of Penny.
"You are Penny's friend?"
The doctor asked Winnie.
"Yes, I'm her friend. I want to ask her about her illness."
Winnie asked the doctor with expectation, but she did not know whether the doctor could give her the
answer she wanted.
"She is not good and the test result she has a cancer."
The doctor knew he was being a bit judgmental, but it was true.
"You mean she really has a cancer?"
Winnie was anxious and seemed see no hope.
"No, it's cancer, and it's already spread."
The doctor's tone was positive and firm. Regardless of what he said, it was clear from his attitude that
Penny did have a cancer.
It was like that Winnie's heart suddenly fell into the abyss, which made her lost consciousness.
Winnie did not want to believe that it was true. Penny committed a crime, but the crime did not lead to
death. The law didn't put her to death, but God was going to take her life.
"But she looks pretty well. She doesn't look seriously ill, except that she doesn't look well on face."
Winnie still did not want to believe that it was a fact and wondered it was a misdiagnosis.
"There are a lot of people who don't have obvious symptoms, and they have different physical
conditions and different capacities. If the symptoms are obvious and caught early, there will be no
terminal cancer."
The doctor answered Winnie's doubts, but also killed her last fantasy.
"Terminal cancer.? Do you mean Penny has terminal cancer?"
"Yes."
The doctor gave another blow to Winnie.
Winnie widened her eyes and felt blank in mind.
She hated Penny and wanted her to die, but at this, she did not want that to happen.
No matter what Penny had done wrong, no matter how evil she was, Winnie wanted her to be alive.
Though Penny was in prison and still malicious to her, they had beautiful days together.
