When Daenerys hung up, only Winnie and Emily were left on the phone.
"Winwin, poor Winwin, I can't come to see you. You must get well and come to see me soon."
Emily was anxious but helpless. Winnie's concern was right she could not be infected at this time, it
would affect the fetus' development.
Winnie still couldn't speak, but revealed a pleased smile after hearing that Emily wasn't coming. She
nodded her head in response to Emily, and then waved her hand and Emily goodbye.
The video chat ended, and Oscar went back to Penny's ward.
After Brian called for the nurse to change the medicine, he told Winnie to lie down and rest, while he
himself sat by the hospital bed.
"Do you know why I asked Oscar to come to my company?"
Brian remembered what had just happened.
Winnie shook her head inexplicably, wasn’t because he wanted to hire a talent?
"I believe in Oscar's ability is only part of the reason, I believe more in Oscar's character and serious
attitude towards his work. He is a trustworthy person as he has a good sense of propriety and integrity.
I want to hire him to stay by Jack's side, and he will be Jack's right hand after he takes over my
position."
"There is still a shortage of people around Jack, I will slowly find him some talents with executive power
and decision making power in the future ......"
Brian spoke to himself, but Winnie was unsettled after hearing that.
When Brian said he was going to give Jack his position, it proved that he had already made up his
mind to give up the Bennet Group. He couldn't do that, he couldn't give up his future because of her.
Winnie was anxious, but she couldn't say anything, so she could only take her phone out and type to
communicate with Brian.
"You can't do that."
Brian asked Winnie as he looked at the text on the phone handed to him.
"Why?"
Winnie started typing again.
"You can't give up so many employees because of me, your problems aren't your own, they're the
problems of all the employees and all the shareholders. And your grandfather, don't keep him on his
toes when he's that old."
So many people's expectations were possessed by Winnie alone, how could she bear it? Such a
talented and capable person gave up a great future for her, she would be guilty.
But if Brian really gave up everything, did she believe that Brian was truly in love with her?
"Don't take it to heart, I'm not doing this for you. I've been working for so many years and it's time to
take a break, besides I'm going to spend time with my kids."
Brian found a reason to put it off. He said that was because he didn't want Winnie to have a burden on
her heart, but, he gave up The Bennet Group for Winnie.
Winnie was surprisingly lost when she heard Brian's explanation, it was her overthinking. Brian didn't
have her in his reasons. In other words, his love for her was not there.
Winnie hated herself like this, obviously she wanted that answer, but she couldn't control her wild
thoughts. She felt like she had gone crazy, no longer able to control her heart or dominate her brain.
Winnie typed to respond.
"Good to know it is not because of me."
"Don't you have Albert, your right-hand man? Why are you still helping Jack get his staff?"
Winnie continued to ask, feeling embarrassed if she didn't say something.
"I can't leave Albert behind, I still need them to take care of my own estate. If I leave them to Jack, I still
won't be able to rest."
"I want to take some time off and take you and the kids out on a trip. Didn't you say you liked the snow
in the north? I'll take you guys skiing when I get everything set up and when the kids are on winter
break."
Brian was alone with his planning visions, imagining the happy picture of a family skiing and playing in
the snow.
Winnie was not in the mood to think about any travel at this time, she was still worried if it was okay to
give the Bennet Group to Jack.
Winnie showed the typed words to Brian again.
"Can Jack handle it? Can you keep your shareholders from being disappointed? Can you reassure
your employees?"
"No problem, don't worry, trust me. I can't go wrong with the people I've cultivated. Besides, I have to
create an indestructible team for him to stick to before I let go."
"He's not alone in his efforts, so many talents helping him will be fine."
Brian replied with confidence.
He believed that he would not be wrong about the people, he believed in the ability of the elite team he
had prepared for Jack, and that working together they would not disappoint the shareholders or worry
the employees.
"It's time for me to take a break, to spend time with the kids and the elderly. I can’t work all the time, or I
will be sorry for the kids and my family."
It was time for Brian to give himself some time to spend with his children, to manage love, and to make
up for the twenty years he had lost with his father.
"It's okay if you think about it, but you have nothing to feel guilty about me."
Winnie didn't want to be influencing Brian's life and didn't want to be involved in his future.
"Fine, as you wish."
"Don't think about it, get some sleep. I'll go check on Dad and the nurse will keep an eye on your
infusion."
Brian said.
He knew what Winnie was thinking, knew that she still hadn't forgiven him.
Winnie was indeed a bit tired due to her high fever, and she fell asleep soon after Brian left.
As she slept, she felt a sound, but the sound didn't come out consistently, so she was ready to fall
asleep again. But there is always an unsettling feeling, it always feels like someone was walking
around.
Brian said the nurse would come over to check on her. The voice she heard must have been the nurse,
right? It was the nurse coming over to check on the infusion.
Since so, get more sleep and rest.
But just as Winnie was about to drift off to sleep, her face was suddenly covered by the blanket, and
Winnie was suddenly awakened.
She jerked off the cover before she saw that the person in front of her was Penny.
"How do you ......"
Winnie subconsciously asked, but only uttered three words because of her sore throat.
"I heard you were ill, so I came to see you to cheer myself up."
Penny opened her mouth to either mock or gloat.
She stared at Winnie with her painful eyes, and couldn't mention how happy she was to see her in the
hospital bed mentally. She even wished that Winnie had cancer, so that Winnie also could not get
Brian.
"It's contagious."
Winnie didn't care about Penny's taunts and hissed out these words as she endured the pain.
At this moment, she was worried about Penny would be infected by her. Once infected it would
definitely speed up Penny's death.
"Don't pretend to be nice, even if it's contagious, I'm not afraid. We're all going to die anyway, it's only
when you infect us that you'll feel guilty for the rest of your life."
Penny's words were getting more and more vicious, if Winnie couldn't die with her, making her feel
guilty for the rest of her life was also torturing her.
"You ......"
Winnie couldn't say anymore, just anxious.
At this time she had to take out her phone and send a message to Oscar.
"Winnie, it's good to be unable to speak, isn't it? Listen then, so you don't have to interject and talk
nonsense like before."
"Don’t try to change my mind, let alone hold any hope that I'll be merciful to let you off the hook. I,
Penny, will fight you to the end as long as I have a breath." "
"So from now on don't try to change me for nothing."
Penny was able to drench herself in words when Winnie couldn't speak. But the more she spoke, the
more uncomfortable she felt.
But she still had to say it, because she ended up like this thanks to Winnie.
"I'm where I am today thanks to you, if I hadn't met you in my life, I certainly wouldn't be where I am
now. Winnie, you ruined everything I had hoped for in life, ruined everything for me."
"You are the evil, you are the one who deserves the most retribution."
"Brian is mine, and I should be his wife. But now, you're being pampered by Brian, you're lying in a
hospital bed and he's taking care of you. All of this was originally mine, and now you've snatched it
away from me, who do you think would be willing to accept it?"
Penny muttered to herself, but her emotions were getting out of control.
The more she talked, the more the hate grew. The more hatred, the more she wanted to explode.
"Winnie, you are a wolf in sheep's skin, on the surface you look harmless, but your heart is more
sinister than anyone else. I was victimized by you to such a miserable extent, Wendy was also driven
away from Brian by you, even a secretary who has a crush on Brian, you don't even let go."
Penny couldn't control her volume, she angrily denounced, even wanted ......
"Go to hell, Winnie, you shouldn't be alive."
Penny couldn't control her heart, nor could she control her actions. She had lost her mind to a certain
point.
She directly picked up the quilt on Winnie and covered Winnie's entire face, then she directly jumped
onto the bed and rode on Winnie.
The upper half of her body pressed Winnie's head, while one hand covered Winnie's mouth with a
deadly grip.
"Um ...... um ......"
Winnie was blindfolded by the cover before she realized that Penny was laying a vicious hand on her.
She struggled hard, but she didn't seem to have the same strength as Penny due to her fever.
Right at this critical moment, Brian opened the door and came in. Seeing the horrible scene in front of
him, he darted forward and sped two steps to the bed and pushed Penny out of the bed.
"Winnie, are you okay?"
The first thing Brian did was to remove the cover, and then nervously questioned Winnie.
Winnie panted heavily, afraid that Brian was worried, she shook her head uncontrollably.
Brian was not completely convinced that Winnie was fine and began to check up and down on Winnie.
At this time, he noticed that the infusion was rapidly bleeding back, so he hurriedly reached out to pull
the needle.
