Just because he wanted to see if Winnie would reveal anything because of yesterday's quarrel, Felix
kept observing silently. However, he not only didn't find anything wrong about Winnie or Vanessa, but
also caused Rufus to fainted.
"It's all over. Do not embarrass Winnie. She had no fault at all, but was scolded by Maria for no reason,
and she didn't say a word. people can't be as patient as she is."
Rufus didn't care if he was wronged by Maria, but he had to defend Winnie. In fact, he was dissatisfied
with his father in the depths of his heart. He didn't understand why Felix didn't stop it Maria such a
chaotic situation and let the situation develop into a serious one.
Obviously it was a very happy holiday, but it was ruined by my father's indulgence.
It seemed that no matter how hard Winnie worked, Felix didn't want to accept her.
"If you have a chance, explain to director Chambers. Maria is straight. Don't let her take it to heart."
Felix replied because Rufus was ill in bed. Otherwise, he would remain silent about Rufus's words.
Since knowing that Winnie was Isobel's niece, he was always on guard. He had to find out Winnie's
intentions before he could consider others.
"I will definitely talk to Winnie, but I have to talk to Thomas about this. I don't care what Maria is like. If
this happens again in my house, if Maria continues to disrespect my children, I will let her and her
husband go abroad."
Rufus officially stated his position, and his voice became cold.
His father's perfunctory remarks made him have to show his attitude, otherwise such deliberate
accidents would still happen.
"Then you can talk to Thomas and ask him to have a talk with Maria."
Felix didn't expect Rufus who was always honest and kind to say such words. He knew Rufus very
well. Rufus never bragged. He could do what he said, and he had his way.
Stella, who was standing on the side, didn't expect her father to say something like this, and she was
stunned.
She thought her father, Rufus, not only protected her and Brian, but also Winnie and Vanessa.
Rufus' desire to protect Winnie and Vanessa was too strong.
After chatting for a while, Felix left the hospital. Unexpectedly, he met Gloria when he got off the
elevator.
"Grandpa, what a coincidence. Why are you here?"
Gloria couldn't contain her excitement. It was very rare for her to meet Felix. Unexpectedly, she met
him here today. It was a godsend.
"I'm here to visit a friend. Why are you here?"
Felix replied calmly. He had a bad impression of Gloria, but he did not resist this chance encounter
because of the strength of her family and a little fantasy of his own.
"I... I came to see a friend too. Well, grandpa, let's go outside and have a talk."
Gloria came to see Penny. To be more precise, she was here to take a peek to see if Penny might die.
But when she met Felix, she was about to seize the opportunity to please Felix.
Felix had agreed. Thus, they came to the park outside the hospital and sat down.
"Grandpa, you look very healthy. It is a blessing that you are still so healthy when you are over ninety
years old."
Gloria complimented Felix.
Brian said that she met his grandfather's standards. That meant Felix was her only supporter.
"Thank you."
Felix replied in a deep voice, still showing no expression on his face.
"Grandpa, I feel sorry that I cannot marry Brian. Otherwise, I can stay by your side every day and be
blessed by you. And then, I may be as healthy as you when I am old."
Gloria started to get into the subject, but it was not so direct.
Felix smiled ironically, but it was not easy to be noticed.
He guessed that Gloria took the opportunity to fight for herself, and guessed that she would not give up
on Brian. Brian was so good and the Bennet Group was so strong, on one would give up.
"Take care of your affairs by yourself. I am too old to be able to meddle in your affairs."
Felix said indifferently.
Although Gloria's family status was good, he had concerned about Gloria's character. If she really
brought disgrace on the Bennet family, it was not worth the loss.
"President Bennet and I have broken up. He always likes Winnie wholeheartedly, and I can't humiliate
myself. Moreover, my dad said that whoever married me would get the property of our family. With such
a strong family background, I'm not worried about not getting married."
Gloria finished speaking with a smile. It seemed like a joke, but it was the one she wanted to say to
Felix the most.
She must let Felix know it, and must use it to entice Felix. She wanted Felix to put pressure on Brian
and let him solve Winnie.
So as long as Penny was dead, it was easy to defeat Wendy. And then, Brian would be hers.
"Well, your father is kind to you."
Felix couldn't be more indifferent. What he was best at in his life was to hide all his emotions well. He
could keep calm even if the end of the world was coming.
He was really interested in Gloria's words, but he was not so obsessed with it. This was just a rhetoric
from Gloria and did not represent what Andrew meant.
Andrew was an innocent man. He wanted his daughter to marry Brian because he wanted to use
Brian's power to grow his own business. He didn't mean to give all his property to Gloria.
But this matter depended on the abilities of the two parties. The result was still in suspense.
"I am his only daughter. Of course, he is kind to me."
Gloria was still complacent, secretly delighted that she had successfully penetrated this information to
Felix. This was her strategy, her plan for her future.
Winnie went to sleep after taking a shower, and she didn't know when she fell asleep. The phone rang
and woke her up.
"Um……"
She answered the phone without seeing who the caller was.
"I'm downstairs, come down as soon as possible. Paul is in the hospital and the child has to be picked
up by ourselves."
Brian's voice came from the phone, and Winnie suddenly didn't feel sleepy as soon as she heard that
she had to pick up the children.
"I'll go down right away."
After putting down the phone, Winnie got out of bed. Fortunately, she packed a few changes of clothes
before going to bed. Otherwise she must be in a hurry.
Winnie came downstairs, and got in the car in a hurry. Then, she and Brian went to school together.
"Did I call you up before you had enough sleep?"
Brian judged it from the voice on the phone.
"I haven't woken up yet. How is Rufus?"
Without Brian's call, Winnie really didn't know when she would wake, and even forgot to pick up the
children.
"He's fine. However, there are always people who go to the hospital, so he fails to get a good rest."
Brian also knew it by calling Rufus.
"I also slept at the company, otherwise I can't hold on."
Brian deliberately said this to Winnie so as not to worry about him all the time.
Winnie didn't respond. When she heard that Rufus and Brian had also rested, she set her mind at rest.
When they arrived at the school to pick up the children and wanted to go home directly, the two
children insisted on going to the hospital to see their grandpa. Fearing that they might not be able to
concentrate on their homework, Winnie agreed to take them to the hospital.
At this time, only Paul was left in the hospital, and the rest went home.
"Grandpa."
"Grandpa."
Watching Rufus walking around in the ward, the two children rushed to him together. They didn't notice
anything wrong with Rufus, but the medical gown made them feel sad.
"Why are you here? I am fine."
Rufus felt as warm as seeing the long lost sunshine when he saw the two children.
"We need to see you to determine if there is anything with you. Grandpa, are you really okay?"
Megan asked uncomfortably. She didn't know why her grandpa stay in the hospital if he was okay, and
why should he wear a hospital gown.
"It's okay, I am all right. I will go home after a few days of recuperation here. You must be obedient."
Felix comforted the children. In fact, he also felt uncomfortable, but he couldn't bear to make the
children worry about him.
"Then we will wait for you at home. When will you go home? Please tell me the accurate time."
Megan was afraid that Rufus lied to her, so she had to make an appointment with her grandpa.
"Well... in three days. I will go home in three days."
In fact, Felix didn't know when he could go home. He had to listen to the doctor.
"Okay... I believe what you said."
Felix chatted with the two children. He had been grinning since he saw the children, and only children
could give him this kind of happiness.
"Megan, Luke, stop pestering your Grandpa. Your grandpa needs to rest."
Winnie saw that the two children didn't mean to leave, and quickly reminded.
"Oh, grandpa, go to bed and lie down for a while. Only after you have rested can you go home early."
Megan reacted quickly, and as she spoke, she pulled Rufus onto the bed.
"It's okay, it's okay. I am not tired."
Although Rufus said he was not tired, but his breathing began to be uneven.
"Winnie, you were wronged last night."
Rufus wanted to talk to Winnie about this matter for a long time, but only found the right opportunity
now since waking up in the morning.
"Uncle, I'm okay. Maria is outspoken, I know it. It's because I spoiled everyone's holiday and made
everyone unhappy."
Winnie felt that she was the one who should apologize. Without her, Maria would not be able to make
trouble without reason.
"Winnie, don't say that. I feel guiltier when you say that. It's not your fault what happened last night.
Don't blame yourself, and do not worry about it."
Felix quickly stated his attitude. He didn't want Winnie to blame herself.
"What happened last night was obviously that Maria was asking for trouble. It has nothing to do with
you. If you feel wronged..."
"Uncle, I am not wronged. You have spoken for me, and I feel very warm. And Luke has clarified the
matter. Jack said that he also talked with Maria when he went home. Maybe Maria is very embarrassed
and has known she was wrong."
Winnie resolved the matter last night without saying a word, and there were several people who defend
her.
"Winnie, don't say that. | feel guiltier when you say that. It's not your fault what happened last night.
Don't blame yourself, and do not worry about it."
Felix quickly stated his attitude. He didn't want Winnie to blame herself.
"What happened last night was obviously that Maria was asking for trouble. It has nothing to do with
you. If you feel wronged..."
"Uncle, | am not wronged. You have spoken for me, and | feel very warm. And Luke has clarified the
