"Okay, I will stay in the hospital for a few days."
Rufus agreed, but he also realized that he was not so simple to nurse, otherwise they would not still be
worried.
Rufus woke up, and his physical signs slowly recovered. Winnie and Brian were urged several times
before leaving at noon.
They came to the parking lot, and Albert was already waiting for them.
"I will drive my own car back. And I will come back after sleeping for a while at home."
Winnie said she was going to go to her car, but Brian stopped her.
"You haven't slept at all from yesterday to now. How can you drive in a daze? You didn't have diner
dinner last night, and you haven't eaten in the morning. Are you sure you can drive in your condition?
Get in the car and follow me to the outskirts of the city. Let's eat the meal first."
Brian felt sorry for Winnie. She looked so tired and pale. He wouldn't let her go home alone.
"I want to go home to take a shower and change my clothes. There is fast food downstairs and I can
have lunch there."
"You go back. Don't you have to go to work? Don't worry about me. I'm fine myself."
Winnie refused, not wanting to go to the suburbs with Brian.
"Go back with me first. After lunch, I will take you home and then go to the company directly."
After speaking, he forced Winnie into the car. Sometimes Winnie's refusal really didn't work out in front
of Brian.
She was top-heavy and weak due to lack of sleep. How could she resist Brian's force, and she could
only leave with Brian.
The driver drove, Albert sat in the co-pilot, Brian and Winnie in the back.
After a while, Winnie was sleepy and fell asleep with her head on the seat.
Brian felt more distressed when he saw Winnie's look, and he moved to Winnie's side. He gently rested
Winnie's head on his shoulder so that she could sleep more comfortably.
After having lunch, Brian had to go to the company, and Winnie must go home to take a shower and
change clothes.
On the way back to the center of the city, Winnie didn't sleep this time because she had something to
discuss with Brian.
"Rufus needs some time to recover. I will take care of the children during this period. I will take them
back tonight. If you are not at ease, arrange a bodyguard to protect them."
Winnie had thought about it a long time ago. When she looked after the children, Brian would worry
about safety of them. So this time she offered to arrange a bodyguard, but the bodyguard's
responsibility was limited to protecting the two children.
"I'm just about to tell you about this. The community you live in is crowded and miscellaneous, it's
inconvenient to protect you. And if Rufus is left unattended at the hospital at night, you have to look
after him. You can't leave two children at home."
"The best way is to go to the outskirts. Paul and Raya can help you take care of the children. You can
work or go to the hospital to take care of Rufus."
Brian had arranged this matter a long time ago, but he didn't expect Winnie to say it first. Thus, he
could only find all kinds of reasons to refute her.
"I don't want to go to your house and to cause you trouble."
"It's not you who are causing us trouble, it's us who are causing you trouble. What I said is the best
way, the best way for the child, for you, and for me."
Winnie wanted to refuse, but was interrupted by Brian.
No matter what Winnie said, Brian would never allow Winnie to look after the children alone. He wanted
to take this opportunity to let Winnie return to the outskirts, so as to foster better relationship between
him and Winnie.
Also, he would be really worried f Winnie took care of the children alone. It was too hard for Winnie to
run back and forth in several places alone.
Winnie hesitated for a while, and sighed helplessly before speaking.
"Well, I'm going to the outskirts. Please ask Paul to prepare a room for me."
Winnie thought a lot. Brian were right.
She had to work, go to the hospital to take care of Rufus, and take care of two children. She could not
take care of everything. The most important thing was that she couldn't leave the child alone at home
when she had something to do. It was indeed impossible to guarantee the safety of the children.
She was also very embarrassed to live in the outskirts. Brian was her biggest psychological obstacle.
He was busy at work and often went to the hospital, but he would also go home. She would meet him
when he went back. Getting along with Brian day and night would make Winnie's efforts in this period
of time in vain. How could she stop herself from moving towards Brian?
"No problem, I will prepare a room for you, and one for Vanessa. She can come on weekends, and can
help you with your children."
Hearing what Winnie said, Brian quickly agreed. He meant to let Winnie live in a room with him, but he
raised the matter now, it may make Winnie more resistant to him.
"Do you need to tell the chairman that I am going to live in the outskirt. After all, it is the Bennet's
house, it may not be appropriate for me to live there."
Winnie was afraid of being kicked out. The Bennet family regarded her as a bane, and blamed
everything bad on her.
"This has nothing to do with Grandpa. You live in my house, not his. But he will also come to my house.
I can't drive him out. Don't be angry if he says something and does something. I will help you solve it."
Brian understood why Winnie had concerns. After all, his grandpa didn't like her.
But this matter had nothing to do with Grandpa, no one could control the matter between him and
Winnie.
"I understand you, no matter what he says or does, I won't mind."
"I still have something to clarify with you. Going to your house may cause trouble for your family, and
what happened last night may also happen again. Vanessa and I..."
Winnie was full of guilt when remembering what happened last night. Although Rufus' fainting was not
directly related to this incident, it made everyone unhappy.
Winnie just wanted to show her attitude, she didn't want to be a scapegoat again.
But when she didn't finish her words, Brian knew what she was worried about.
"Winnie, I already told you that it wasn't your fault last night. Maria was deliberately looking for trouble.
She has scruples about my family and can only use you as an excuse to start her mischief."
"Don 't worry I don't have any doubts about you. Even if you were wrong about what happened last
night, I will definitely be on your side."
Brian made it clear that he would protect Winnie no matter what. He took the opportunity to let her stay,
so he must not give her a reason to leave.
Brian's words touched Winnie. She really needed a man who could protect her unconditionally. It's just
that she knew that Brian was not the right man. As long as he didn't harm her, she wouldn't need
anyone to protect her.
Winnie didn't know what to say. She had already said everything she wanted to say. Now, she could
only keep silent.
Winnie got out of the car and went home, and Brian went to the company to work. Albert received a
message as soon as he drove out of the car. The message was sent by Winnie, not voice but text.
Winnie: [Brian hasn't slept since last night, so you can take more responsibility at work and let him take
time to sleep in the lounge for a while.]
Winnie's concern for Brian could only be expressed in this way. She didn't dare to show any concern in
front of Brian.
Albert hesitated for a while after reading the message, and finally decided to show it to Brian.
Albert handed the phone directly to Brian in the back seat.
"What?"
Brian asked inexplicably, wondering why Albert handed him his phone.
"Have a look at it."
Albert didn't say anything, just asked Brian to read the message. Brian must feel different reading text
messages and listening to him.
Brian just took it to look at the phone.
A shadow of a smile touched his mouth. There was no doubt that this was Winnie's love for him, she
didn't like Finn at all.
Just as Brian watched it repeatedly, Winnie sent another message.
Winnie: [Don't let Brian see the message I sent.]
"But what if I have seen it?"
Brian became happier and happier. His smile was so big that his teeth were exposed. It's just that he
was talking to himself and didn't send it to Winnie.
If Winnie heard his voice on Albert's phone, she might hide such a cautious concern.
Brian was already sleepy just now, and he was full of energy after seeing this message.
He was contented, satisfied, and mentally at ease. He could forward without hesitation. Because
Winnie had never given up on him, because Winnie she always loved him.
Felix was worried about Rufus, and tried to go to the hospital when he got up in the morning, but
Thomas stopped him.
He didn't feel at ease until the news that Rufus had woken up.
At noon, he asked Butler to take him to the hospital while Thomas was away.
"Grandpa, why are you here?"
Stella watched Felix walk into the ward and quickly got up to greet him.
"I'm here to see your dad."
Felix's short words had already indicated his concern for his son.
"He's all right."
Stella walked to the hospital bed with Felix
Rufus, who was asleep, woke up when he heard their voices.
"I'm all right."
Rufus sat up as he said, but at the same time he had been put on a drip.
"Why don't you go home if you're fine? Why have you still been put on a drip?"
Felix didn't know about Rufus' lung tumor, but the moment he saw Rufus lying on the hospital bed, he
began to worry again.
Rufus was his son, so he didn't want anything terrible to happen to him.
"My dad still needs to recuperate. He'll recover quickly after infusion in the hospital."
Stella explained. She had made an agreement with Brian that she could not tell Grandpa about the
tumor.
"What exactly caused Rufus to faint?"
Rufus suddenly started coughing when Felix asked.
"Why do you still cough? Where is the doctor?"
Felix was obviously nervous, and when he thought that his son might pass away before him, he felt
scared.
"It's okay, don't worry. The doctor did a detailed examination last night, and it was nothing serious. It
was just he was too excited, coupled with weak immunity, so he fainted."
Stella explained quickly, fearing that Felix was worried.
She could only let Maria be the scapegoat
"Maria is crazy."
Felix now regretted that he didn't stop Maria in time last night. If he stopped her, it wouldn't happen.
It's just that he had his thoughts last night, his thoughts were on Winnie and Vanessa, and he had been
thinking about Isobel.
Stella explained. She had made an agreement with Brian that she could not tell Grandpa about the
tumor.
"What exactly caused Rufus to faint?"
Rufus suddenly started coughing when Felix asked.
