Feeling Vanessa's efforts, Felix suddenly felt heartbroken, if this was his granddaughter, he must have
spoiled her like he did to Stella. And there was no need for her to sacrifice her sleeping and playing
time to fight and work hard.
"Every age has different joys and worries. The stress of our family is on my sister, how can I squander
my time mindlessly when she is working so hard?"
"Grandpa, I don't see things the same way you do. If I had been born into a family like yours, I might
not have had to struggle. But a family like mine doesn't allow me to slack off."
"I think I have to fight when I am young, I have to use my own hands to change my life, and only when I
do enough when I am young can I be happy and joyful when I reach a certain age and have no
worries."
Vanessa wanted to help her sister carry the burden of her family.
"Your sister and your aunt have raised a wonderful child, and when you graduate and come to work at
the Bennet Group, you'll have a great future."
Felix spoke with selfishness, and it was such a selfishness that made Vanessa uncomfortable
psychologically.
"Thanks, Grandpa, but it's a few years before I graduate. I'm going to study abroad and have to go to
grad school and get a PhD. I'm not sure what field I'll be working in by then."
Vanessa refused politely, her sister's relationship with Brian was so awkward, so even if she couldn't
find a job, she could not work for the Bennet Group.
"It's good to have more ambitious aspirations, too. But if you choose to come back, the Bennet Group
is the best choice. When the time comes, if I am still alive, I will definitely arrange a good position for
you."
Felix did not dwell on this topic, for Vanessa had to study further, and when she graduated, he might
have left this world.
Since so, it had nothing to do with him at all. Felix then realized a problem, after his death. Brian would
definitely be with Winnie, so what was the point he insisted on stopping them from being together?
"Vanessa, today is thanksgiving, why didn't your aunt come along?"
Felix found a topic, as he had no answer to the question that had popped into his head.
"My aunt hasn't returned from her medical support trip to Africa, and it's just me and my sister at
home."
Vanessa answered Felix.
This time Felix gave her a different feeling and she felt that his hostility was not so strong as before.
Besides she felt a bit more relaxed when chatted with him, no need to have any wariness.
"Oh, conditions are bad in Africa, your aunt has had a hard time."
Speaking, something suddenly occurred to Felix’s mind.
"Your aunt is a doctor?"
"Yes, a military doctor."
Vanessa replied dryly, always proud of her aunt being a military doctor.
"A military doctor? A military doctor from B City?"
The word "military doctor" suddenly shook Felix, and his brows furrowed.
"Yes, People's Liberation Army XXX Hospital."
Vanessa did not hesitate to answer. Her aunt had told her not to tell others, but Vanessa did not think
Felix would have anything to do with it.
"Your aunt must be excellent, and she must be kind to fill the world with medical support."
Felix said calmly, but his mind was already searching for all kinds of information. He tried to piece
together what he knew before and what he just knew.
Their last name was Chambers, which used to be thought of as a coincidence, after all, there were so
many people with the same last name. It wasn't a surprise that they were without their parents, for car
accidents were frequent at this time of year.
But was it also a coincidence that their aunt was a doctor in the same hospital? How many female
doctor with the surname Chambers in the People's Liberation Army XXX Hospital of that age?
"Any doctor who can work at XXX Hospital is a great doctor, what's your aunt's name?"
To confirm that his suspicions were wrong, to confirm that the two doctors surnamed Chambers were
not the same person, Felix asked for names.
"Other doctors are great, but my aunt is just a normal doctor. My aunt's name is Isobel Chambers."
"My aunt worked there when she was younger, but then kept medical support around the world. It
wasn't until my parents died suddenly that my aunt came back."
"She has given so much to us ......"
It was a long story, and Vanessa began to talk about some things related to her aunt.
And Felix had been so shocked at hearing her aunt's name that he wasn't in the mood to listen to the
rest of her words.
Winnie's aunt was Isobel Chambers, and his suspicions came true. How could there be such a
coincidence in this world? How could there be such a ridiculous thing in this world?
This Isobel and the one he was thinking of were surprisingly the same. The world was so big, but they
were related again.
How much did Winnie know, and how much did Brian know? What kind of purpose Winnie was
approaching Brian with, and what kind of tactics she was going to use to ruin Brian?
What about Rufus? How much did Rufus know? Had he met Isobel again?
It was likely, otherwise he wouldn't have been thinking about Isobel.
"Grandpa ...... Grandpa ......"
Vanessa stopped, because of Felix was in a daze.
"Grandpa ......"
Vanessa called out again, and that was when Felix responded.
"Yes."
"Are you not feeling well, Grandpa? Do want to go back to the house for some rest?"
Vanessa thought he was in a bad health condition, and couldn't even imagine that it was because of
what she said.
"No, I am fine."
Felix responded to Vanessa, but his thoughts were still on Isobel.
Things were a bit confusing and Felix couldn't make sense of it.
When Isobel disappeared back then, no one could find her. When Dominik Chambers and his wife
died, he had deliberately paid attention to whether Isobel had returned, but at that time, he had not
even seen Isobel, so he felt that Isobel would not appear in his life again.
Yet she returned in this way, and what was her purpose?
No, she'd always been there, and hadn't left. After all these years, the Bennet family and the Chambers
family had always been entwined.
From the beginning of Isobel and Rufus' relationship, to the death of Winnie's parents in a car accident,
to Winnie's surrogacy, to leaving a child to Brian, until the sudden return with another child, The two
families never broke contact and never got away from each other.
What a fate it was, not to have been separated for several generations.
Felix, no matter how hard he tried, couldn't get things clear.
After Winnie and Brian returned, Winnie went to the kitchen to help prepare dinner. With this big family,
so many people, and so many dishes to prepare, it was necessary to cook earlier.
Another reason was that the kitchen was a place to hide from the Benne family and one of the least
distracting places in the house.
Winnie was busy in the kitchen, and Brian came to help. Although a big meal like this would keep his
hands busy, he felt that any place with Winnie was a happy place.
"Winnie, are you leaving tonight?"
Brian always looked for a topic of conversation.
"Yeah, I have booked the ticket and I am leaving tonight."
Winnie had to continue to hide from Brian to be far away.
"How soon will you be back from this trip?"
Brian knew that Winnie was going out with the research team to several provinces, and he didn't know
when Winnie would be back.
The thought of her leaving and not having a set date for her return made Brian sad.
"In two months."
"Take care of kids for the next two months."
Winnie gave the time, and she expected that when she returned two months later, Brian would no
longer remember her.
"I can take care of the kids, but what about Vanessa? Your aunt is not at home, you can't just leave
Vanessa alone."
"Or cancel the trip."
Brian's previous words were all a set up for this later sentence.
Without Winnie around, he could not only take care of the kids, but also take care of Vanessa. But he
wanted Winnie to stay.
"I can’t. Vanessa is taken care of, so you don't have to worry about her."
Winnie had long arranged for Vanessa and there would not be any worries.
"So ...... is Finn going with you?"
The other thing that Brian was worried about was Finn.
This question made Winnie's heart cold, for she felt that Brian was going to start suspecting her again.
Only now she didn't care, she was single and no one could sway her no matter who she was with.
"Yes, why do you ask that, does it matter to you?"
Winnie looked at Brian with sideways dissatisfaction.
In fact, Finn was not going, how can he, a director of the police station be gone for more than two
months at a time? Moreover, Winnie entrusted Vanessa to Finn, if he was not there, how could Winnie
have no worries?
"Can you quit this research group? What do you think you'll learn in a research group?"
Brian got serious in his attitude, and if it weren't for the fact that there were others in the kitchen, his
volume would have unconsciously increased.
"What do you mean?"
Winnie was puzzled, not understanding why Brian was asking her about the research group.
"I'll find someone to teach you whatever you can learn from the research team. Is it okay to skip this
school?"
"I'll give you whatever security you want, and you can vent any grievances you have in your heart at
me. As long as you don't leave, as long as you don't go to school, you can do whatever you want."
Brian said it seriously, but with one purpose in mind, and that was to not want Winnie and Finn to come
into contact.
For she used her excellent profession to help out at the police station occasionally, Brian could
understand. But Brian couldn't accept that she wanted to be a policewoman, and crucially, she met a
leader like Finn.
"Since when did you learn to joke? What am I to you, why do you try to sway me on going to school?"
Winnie laughed with sarcasm.
They didn't seem to be the kind of relationship that could sway each other, and she was self-aware to
stay out of Brian's business, so Brian couldn't come into her business.
