Felix cared about Vanessa, and Winnie felt flattered. They used to be like air in Felix's eyes, but now
they were surprisingly cared for by him, she did not know if it was human fickleness or just a courtesy
after the blood transfusion.
"Make sure she takes rest, she can't be careless with her health."
"She doesn't have to work that hard."
Felix thought Vanessa should be spoiled like Stella, like a princess . But Vanessa had to work hard on
her own to write her own perfect life.
He admired her in every item, but he felt heartbroken if she was a Bennet.
"Grandpa, you don't have to worry about Vanessa. I have arranged a nanny to make soup for Vanessa
every day. It won't take more than a few days for her to recover."
Stella meticulously arranged everything long ago, for she thanked Vanessa from the bottom of her
heart.
"Good, you do a good job, Vanessa has helped our family a lot, be sure to take good care of her."
Felix couldn't help but compliment Stella, that was what they should do.
"Stella, thank you."
Winnie was really touched by the Bennet family who had hurt her. At this moment she had to say thank
on behalf of Vanessa.
"We should thank you. Without you, our family would be in chaos, without you, Brian would not call out
to Dad. Without you, dad can come down from the operating table. Don't ever be saying thank you, I
am ashamed for that."
Stella didn't accept Winnie's thanks because it was her and Brian who should say thank you. If it wasn't
for Winnie and Vanessa, they really didn't know what this family would be like.
"Okay, no thanks. But neither Vanessa nor I did anything, so don't say thank to us too."
Winnie never admitted that she had any merit, and it was already an honor for her not to be disliked.
"Ok, we're family, no need to say thanks."
Stella deliberately said to her grandfather. He should know who helped the Bennet family at the most
critical moments.
Rufus did not say a word.
But he agreed with Stella's words, they were a family. If he was given the chance, he would make the
family happy together.
Felix heard Stella's hint, but he had his thoughts and concerns. Right now he couldn't care about who
Brian was married to, he was preoccupied with knowing what Winnie was up to.
There was a moment of silence in the ward.
"Have you had dinner, Grandpa?"
Brian broke the silence.
"I came after dinner."
"Brian, Stella, go back. There are too many people here, and it is noisy, so I'll stay here with him."
Felix looked at Rufus frowning hard and couldn't bear to affect Rufus' rest.
"Sis, you go back first, I'll stay here tonight and take care of Dad. Paul hasn't slept for two days, let him
go home and get a good night's sleep."
Brian came prepared to spend the night in the hospital.
Paul hurriedly refused after hearing that.
"No, I'm not tired or sleepy. You have to work tomorrow, hurry up and take the kids home."
"Paul, just go home and rest for the night. You've been here for so many days, it's been too hard."
Winnie persuaded Paul, they could not bear it always leaving Paul alone here.
"Don't worry about me, I'm used to being with Rufus after all these years. I can't go back home at
ease."
"I have plenty of time to sleep here, the carers take care of Rufus at night, so I don't have to do
anything. I can be grounded and he can be grounded if I am here."
"Brian, take Winwin and the children go home. Stella, you should go home too, you've been here all
day."
Paul insisted on staying, just like he said he couldn't sleep lying in his own bed when he went home, he
might as well be at the hospital to have peace of mind.
"Well then, let's go back first."
Brian wasn't insisting on staying, so he took Stella and Winnie with him as they left.
"Sis, did you not have dinner? Let's eat out together, we'll go eat whatever you want. I'll call Joshua and
we'll have dinner together."
Winnie invited warmly, today she was treating, even if she thanked Stella for the sincerity she had
given for Vanessa, she couldn't say it out.
Stella pondered for a moment.
"Okay, let's have hot hop together."
Stella thought it was time to have a meal together, time to take stock of Brian's changes by way of
encouragement.
But at the mention of hot pot, both Brian and Winnie's hearts shook uncontrollably. Just because Stefan
was the owner of the hot pot restaurant, just because Brian had a misunderstanding about Stefan, they
broke up.
It hurts mentally when the hot pot was mentioned.
"The kid haven't had hot pot in a while. Let's go to Stefan's hot pot restaurant, the hot pot there is pretty
good."
"Winwin, call Joshua and tell him directly where the hot pot restaurant is, we'll go to there."
"And then call Stefan to reserve a table for us."
Brian opened his mouth, trying to let Winnie know his remorse.
Winnie hesitated for a moment.
"Okay, I'll call Joshua."
At this time, Winnie did not know what kind of feeling she had.
She couldn't believe him. She didn't know what purpose he had in bringing up going to Stefan's
restaurant voluntarily.
Even though Winnie questioned it, she didn't object to going to Stefan's, because her heart was open
and clear to anyone and anything, and she wasn't afraid of Brian test anything.
When a few people arrived at Stefan's Hot Pot Restaurant, Stefan was waiting for them in the lobby.
"Mr. Bennet, it's been a long time."
Stefan greeted Brian with a smile, now he was able to manage his heart to get along with Winnie and
Brian. Although he still had a hint of fantasy occasionally, it was just fantasy, never had the idea of
putting it into action.
"It's been a long time, and your business is good."
Brian also greeted, but he wasn't as enthusiastic as Stefan. Perhaps this was due to his personality, not
being able to be absolutely enthusiastic.
"Winnie, this is Stella, right? Hello, Stella."
Stefan recognized Stella because Winnie had talked about her on the phone.
"Yes, I'm Brian's sister, hello."
Stella was elegant and polite, an aura she had developed since she was a child.
"Hello, Uncle Stefan, we're here too."
Megan mischievously opened her mouth.
"Hello there, little ones, it's been a while since you've been here, I miss you."
"Come, let me see. Well ...... you have grown taller and more beautiful. Here ...... give me a hug."
With that, Stefan opened his arms, followed by the two children embracing close to his arms.
He genuinely liked the two kids because the kids are indeed cute.
"Well, Uncle Stefan is busy, let him go."
Winnie opened her mouth, their coming here had already affected Stefan's normal work, if they
dragged on, not only would they have no time to eat, Stefan's work would also be affected.
"You're hungry, aren't you, I take you to the private room, Joshua is already there waiting for you."
Stefan stood up and led a few people to the private room with him.
Winnie felt nothing, but she just didn't know what kind of information Brian wanted to get.
Stefan after before calling Winnie out.
Winnie didn't even think about it, and followed Stefan out without any hesitation. Her heart was open
and she was not afraid of anyone misunderstanding her.
Winnie and Stefan went to Stefan's office together.
"I'm not going to give you any trouble by calling you out alone, am I? I'm going to call you even if you
don't come over, for all the projects on the provincial agency are confirmed, so you can immediately
work on many aspects. But you'll have to prepare more in terms of funding, I'm afraid it will go over
budget."
Stefan was afraid that Winnie would be misunderstood by Brian. But if Brian really misunderstood
Winnie because of this little thing, Winnie should have seen earlier if he really loved her.
"It is ok, I'll talk to Daenerys and Emily about the funds."
Of course Winnie knew what Stefan was referring to, he was afraid that Brian would misunderstand,
afraid that Brian would argue with her. But Winnie was not afraid, she was now single, no matter what
dealings she had with, Brian had no right to stop her.
However, the matter of money was the worst problem to solve, for she was raising money to buy back
her house, and now the franchise also needed money. So much so that she didn't know what to do.
"Good, that is it."
"Winwin, if you have a problem with funding, just tell me, I can help you."
Although he knew that Winnie didn't lack money, Stefan wanted to say so. He understood that Winnie
was a self-reliant and self-improving person who didn't ask for any help, and in case she was really
stuck with money, he could be of great help.
"Okay, I'll let you know if I need help."
Winnie expressed her gratitude, but she and Stefan were now in a cooperative relationship. She
wanted the provincial agent to make money, and if she asked money from Stefan, she was taking
Stefan's money to make money. If that was the case, Stefan could have invested on his own, why
would he give her such an opportunity?
She wouldn't use Stefan's money, and she couldn't ask for his help even when it was hard for
her.
