"Rufus, we want to apologize to Mr. Bennet, but Mr. Bennet did not give us a chance."
Klara tried to be redeeming, not for the job, not Brian, but her own dignity.
"That's your business, he has his reasons for not giving you a chance, and I can do nothing about it."
Rufus smiled indifferently, he knew the reason, but he didn't say it.
The person they should not apologize was not Brian. The two of them clearly didn't put Winnie in their
eyes, so how could Brian accept their apology?
"Rufus ......"
"Dad, you haven't finished your meal yet, so finish it and get some rest."
Wendy tried to say something, but Brian had already walked behind his father and spoke up to interrupt
Wendy.
But the way he addressed his father caused Wendy and Klara to be momentarily stunned.
They were as clear on this issue as the people involved, and felt that Brian would never be able to
forgive his father in his lifetime. But now he called out "Dad", was it because of Winnie?
"Ok, my meal will get cold if I don't eat it. You go back too, Winwin and the children are waiting for you."
Rufus answered Brian, without Brian's words, he really didn't know how to get rid of these two women
in front of him.
"Please go back, both of you, this is a ward and the patient needs plenty of rest."
Before Wendy and Klara could react from the shock, Paul had already opened his mouth to send them
off. So they had to leave with doubts.
"Get well, Rufus, we'll come over to see you sometime."
"Wish you have a speedy recovery and go back home early."
The two men said their goodbyes, and then awkwardly looked at each other as they left together.
After Winnie took the two children and Vanessa out, they waited for Brian in the small park at the
hospital. They had come in one car, if there was another car, Winnie would have already driven away.
Now she sat helplessly on a park chair waiting for Brian while the two children played on the side.
"Sis, the fact that these two came together proves that they are still together. You should be careful in
the future, it looks like they will not give up."
Vanessa reminded her sister, fearing that she was being set up by these two women.
Winnie laughed in disbelief at Vanessa's words.
"How can you tell they will not give up?"
"Any fool can see that, coming together proves they've been in touch. When they entered the ward, the
only person they didn't talk to was you. That's proof they still treat you like an enemy."
Vanessa had noticed the attitude of the two men from the moment she entered the ward, they had
been complimentary to everyone else and clearly unfriendly to her sister.
"Why does Rufus not take your feelings into account, since you are still here?"
For Rufus's non-refusal, Vanessa had a bit of sourness in her heart.
"It's because I'm here, Rufus can't go overboard. They came to visit Rufus, how rude and uncultivated
would it be to throw them out."
"Rufus did the right thing, you don't have to think much about it."
Winnie didn't blame Rufus. After all, they didn't have the status or reason to blame him.
"Sis, you believe they came over to see Rufus? They're using that as an excuse to meet Brian."
Vanessa had seen through the shenanigans of the two, but there was nothing she could do.
"Forget it, the Bennet family's business has nothing to do with us, and who comes to see Brian has
nothing to do with us either. I just need you to protect yourself from those people."
Anyway, her sister had given up, and she didn't support her sister being with Brian anyway, so these
heartbreaking things didn't bother her.
"Yes, you are right. There's no point in wasting brain cells thinking about things that have nothing to do
with us."
Winnie made sense. She looked quite open-minded, but she felt uncomfortable.
The discomfort wasn't because Rufus had left Wendy and Klara, but her own presence seemed
superfluous and awkward at that moment.
It had to pass the park to the parking lot.
Wendy and Klara saw Winnie and her sister sitting there before they could reach the park.
Seeing Winnie, they could not calm down, failing to control their anger.
They glanced at each other heartily and walked towards Winnie.
"Isn't it too early to be happy?"
Wendy revealed her displeasure.
Her voice came somewhat unannounced, surprising Winnie.
Fortunately, it did not happen for the first time. Winnie froze for a moment before leaking out a subdued
and calm eye.
"Where can you see I am happy?"
Winnie raised the corner of her mouth and asked Wendy.
"You can unscrupulously appear in Brian's father's ward, isn’t that simple?"
Klara responded, who was annoying.
But Winnie didn't care about their snide remarks.
"Aren’t you unscrupulous here? This is the hospital where the patients live; you can come and see
whenever you want."
Winnie's indifferent and carefree attitude annoyed Wendy and Klara even more.
"Don't you get too happy ......"
"Shut the fuck up."
Before Wendy could finish her words, Brian's angry voice rang out behind them.
They were taken aback by the lion-like roar, not expecting Brian would come so soon.
They were in the middle shock without looking back, while Brian was already standing in front of them.
"What do you want? Do I have to make you out of B City?"
"I'm telling you once more, this woman is mine. Dare you hurt her again, I will make you regret it for the
rest of your lives."
Brian warned them angrily, he was already merciful to them. However, if they didn't give up doing harm
to Winnie, he would not care being rude.
Wendy hurried to explain.
"Brian ...... Mr. Bennet, no, we're just casual ......"
"You now dare not admit it?"
The one who angrily interrupted Wendy was Vanessa, who had long wanted to speak up, but her sister
had been holding her hand to suppress her. Otherwise, it was possible they would have wrestled
together now.
"You may have misunderstood ......"
Wendy was about to explain, but was once again interrupted.
"There's no misunderstanding, I can hear you scolding my mother."
The one who interrupted Wendy this time was Luke whose small face was filled with indignation.
"You are shameless women who want to steal my dad. Listen up, even if mom and dad can't be
together, I won't accept you guys. As long as I am here, you won't be able to marry my dad, even if you
do, I will make your lives worse than death. I will never spare those who dare to bully my mother."
Luke's anger was far greater than Vanessa's, he hated the two women in front of him, hated what they
said to his mother, and even hated the hateful eyes they looked at her with.
"Luke, don't think like that. I ......"
Wendy was shocked by Luke's hostility and didn't expect the child to say something harsh with such
resistance. So she hurriedly explained. However, Luke didn't pay any attention to Wendy's explanation
and directly interrupted her words.
"Don't be sophomoric, you act differently when my dad was not here. If you have any guts, repeat the
taunt you just made to my mother."
Luke's desire to protect his mom was strong, even though his dad appeared, even though he believed
that dad could protect mom, he still had to take out the anger in his heart. He couldn't indulge these two
women in bullying his mom, and he couldn't let them think that she was alone.
"I ...... Luke ......"
Wendy didn't know what to do, looking at Luke awkwardly and uneasily.
"Luke, I will handle it."
It was in a stalemate, Winnie could speak up.
"Vanessa, take Megan and Luke to the car and wait for us."
Winnie didn't want to put her children through such a scene, and gave the car keys to Vanessa as she
opened her mouth.
Vanessa took the car keys but did not leave immediately, only because she was worried about her
sister, worried about her sister being bullied while Brian turned a blind eye to it.
"Brain."
"Don't worry, Vanessa, no one can do anything to your sister with me around."
Brian knew Vanessa wanted him to protect her sister.
With these words from Brian, Vanessa was relieved to leave with two children.
"Wendy, Klara, you two can just say what you have in mind. I don't want you to treat me as an
opponent. I haven't done anything wrong to you guys from the beginning to now, and please respect
me, and don't make trouble to me."
Winnie wanted to make it clear, although she knew that it was hard to persuade the two to give up, she
wanted Brian to hear everything clearly.
"Director Chambers, you misunderstood, we didn't mean to harm you."
Klara responded to Winnie, not expecting things to come to such a point, and most importantly, Brian
was right here.
"Klara, do you think it's interesting to deny at this time? Your attitude towards me doesn't vary, right,
when Brian is here, you guys don't say anything, and take me falsely accuses you. When Brian is no
longer here, you guys mock me with impunity. My kids can see that you mocked at me, do you think I
am stupid?"
Winnie wanted to set things straight, and even though the chances were slim, she didn't want to give
up so easily.
