"Thank you, Stefan!”
"Thank you, Stefan!”
The two children thanked Stefan and began to order their food.
At the time of ordering food, Vanessa spoke again.
"Stefan, I went too far that day. I must have put you in a difficult position. Sorry, I'm so sorry."
Because the children were there, Vanessa said with euphemism and could not re-elaborate it.
"No, it's a joke. I won’t mind it."
"Eat more as an apology to me."
Stefan said generously, but he was disappointed about Vanessa's apology. If she apologized, it proved
that she was joking the other day.
"Ok, I will to meet your demands."
Vanessa gave a bright smile. If the children were not there, he would continue to joke to remind Stefan.
Stefan did not talk nonsense because the children were there.
Actually, he had checked Winnie and Brian. Brian was unmarried and had only two children, while
Winnie was divorced.
In any case, he preliminarily confirmed that there was no legal connection between the two. But beyond
the law, he needed to know it better.
As for how to know to know it, Stefan took a look at Vanessa and felt she was the most suitable person.
He would ask her out someday to get to know the truth.
The party had officially begun. Gloria walked out holding Brian’s arm. Everyone understood what was
going on and confirmed the relationship between the two.
“Brian, I am glad that you are here. Now we are family. From now on, we will join hands to us better."
Gloria's father said. It was a fat old man.
In the past, he called Brian Mr. Bennet, but now it made Brian antipathetic. But to act well, Brian was
still cooperative.
"You're right. We can work together in the future."
He said coldly as he always did to the outsiders. Only when he spoke to Winnie, he wore a smile.
Inadvertently he thought of Winnie, wondering what she was doing at the moment and whether she
was sad.
"Brian..."
"Brian, my father is speaking to you."
Gloria's delicate voice pulled back Brian's thoughts.
"Oh, I am sorry I was distracted."
“How is your grandfather, Brian?”
Andrew stubbornly asked the question Brian did not hear.
"Very good, he will go to the company for regularly inspection."
Brian showed no interest in such homely chatter, always looking for an excuse to leave. But he just got
here. It didn't seem good to leave.
"Good, I will visit your grandfather some other time. You talk first, I greet the guests."
Andrew realized Brian's impatience and found an excuse to leave.
The music played and the dance began.
"There is no suspense that this first dance must be ours."
Gloria was ambiguous in eyes and soft in voice, then she led Brian to the middle of the dance floor.
Two people danced as the music played and Gloria got closer. They seemed to have a close embrace
under lights and in music.
This scene happened to be seen by Wendy, and she had filmed it.
Wendy came with her father. She knew it was a disgrace for her to see that, but she insisted to come
and wanted to see what kind of relationship Brian and Gloria had.
Seeing that, Wendy confirmed that they were couples, but she could not bear such pain alone. She had
to let Winnie know that she would be abandoned soon.
So Wendy sent the videos one by one to Winnie without a moment of hesitation. She recorded every
ambiguous moment of Brian and Gloria, so Winnie would know all about it.
As Winnie finished her meal, she got the message. When she found it was Wendy, she did not click
open it.
She then silenced her phone to stop the messages ringing.
After dinner, they were quite happy. Winnie enjoyed it and she did not have any wild thoughts. But the
messages sent by Wendy upset her again.
When she was upset, she was distracted. Winnie accidentally fell down on the stairs at the door of the
hot pot restaurant.
"Mom."
"Mom."
"Sister, are you ok?"
They gathered around Winnie and asked with concern.
"I am ok."
Winnie's foot was sprained, and she felt it swollen. But she said through gritted teeth that she was fine.
Because the children were there, she could not say she was in pain, for fear that the children would
worry.
"Can you stand up?"
Stefan asked Winnie squatting down.
Winnie supported her body with hands and wanted to get up, but she found that her foot had no
strength and it hurt terribly.
"I'll carry you to the hospital."
Before Winnie answered him, Stefan carried Winnie up and to the hospital.
It was inevitable to have a check-up at the hospital. Fortunately, Kevin was on duty today in the
emergency room.
"You were so careless."
Kevin said helplessly, while waiting for the results of the examination.
"I didn't notice it. I didn't expect that I would get sprain."
If Winnie had a prophetic ability, none of this would have happened. She wouldn't even get close to
Brian.
"Where is Brian? Does he know you got sprain?"
Kevin thought Winnie should be sent by Brian, or he should be on the way to the hospital, rather than
that she was sent by Stefan.
"He went to Gloria's for a party, and I didn't call him. I will tell him tomorrow."
Winnie said indifferently as if she was talking about other people's things.
"Why tomorrow? Are you important or is the party important?"
Hearing that Brian and Gloria were together, Kevin was angry. He pulled out his phone and was to call
Brian, but Winnie grabbed it.
"No, I would have called him if I could."
Winnie was helpless. They were the only two in the emergency room, or Winnie did not know how to
explain it.
"Chairman called me on the day Gloria and Brian has scandal. He warned me not to destroy that and
to talk nonsense in front of Brian."
"If I call Brian now, Chairman will not be satisfied and will say that I have ulterior motives."
Winnie was not going to say these, but if she did not say it out, Kevin definitely would call Brian.
"The Bennet family went too far. Don't you feel wronged, Winwin? If yes, you can resist."
Kevin was angry. No one in the Bennet family considered Winnie.
Why did they away care about themselves but ignored Winnie?
"Sure, I feel wronged."
Winnie smiled helplessly.
"But, I am willing to, there is no need to resist. I have considered it when I agreed with Chairman, but I
do it for the children."
"You are a father, Doctor Burns. Can you bear to see your child grow up in a family with parents? They
are so young and they did nothing wrong. Why should I put something on them that they should not
bear?"
"I don't feel wronged when I think about the children."
Winnie's original intention was for the children, and the Bennet family used her because of that. Yeah,
but she was willing to be used, so who's to blame?
"Alas......"
Kevin sighed, but kept silent.
What could he say? Winnie did everything for her children. Only a mother could be so selfless and
great.
What Winnie gave was love, and the Bennet family took advantage of it.
Examination results came out, fortunately, no bone injury, but her ankle was swelling. Winnie needed to
rest.
Kevin held Winnie out of the emergency room. Stefan and Vanessa quickly stepped forward to help.
"How is she, doctor?”
Stefan asked eagerly.
"It didn't break any bones, but she needs to rest. Vanessa, this is medicine, cold compress before
applying this medicine."
Kevin gave the medicine to Vanessa, then looked at Stefan.
"Mr. Brooks, Winwin's foot hurt, but I can't leave the emergency room, please send them back."
Kevin said politely, because he was not familiar with Stefan.
"Doctor Burns, you are too polite. She fell in my shop and I have the obligation to send them back. We
are leaving then."
Stefan gave Kevin a friendly smile and then walked forward holding Winnie.
But Winnie could only hop on one leg and seemed to be struggling.
"You walk like this is easy to cause secondary injury, let me carry you."
Stefan squatted down in front of Winnie.
"Don't bother, that was just..."
"Never mind, your foot has already hurt."
Stefan said, squatting there, as if he would have been squatting there, if Winnie did not allow.
"Yes, sister, let Stefan carry you. If you feel you owe him a favor, you can pay him back in the future."
Vanessa persuaded, so Winnie could only allow Stefan to carry her.
"Sorry to bother you again."
"It is not, you hurt in my shop..."
Stefan's voice was getting smaller and smaller, and his back was getting further and further away.
Seeing that, Kevin felt sad for Winnie. It should be Brian who carried her.
But now it as another man carrying her. Brian was having fun with another woman.
Stefan drove to Winnie's community and was going to stop at the door of Winnie's community, but there
was a car behind urging him, so he took a round and pulled up in a parking space.
"Let me carry you."
"You walk like this is easy to cause secondary injury, let me carry you."
Stefan squatted down in front of Winnie.
"Don't bother, that was just..."
"Never mind, your foot has already hurt."
Stefan said, squatting there, as if he would have been squatting there, if Winnie did not allow.
"Yes, sister, let Stefan carry you. If you feel you owe him a favor, you can pay him back in the future."
Vanessa persuaded, so Winnie could only allow Stefan to carry her.
"Sorry to bother you again."
"It is not, you hurt in my shop..."
Stefan's voice was getting smaller and smaller, and his back was getting further and further away.
Seeing that, Kevin felt sad for Winnie. It should be Brian who carried her.
But now it as another man carrying her. Brian was having fun with another woman.
Stefan drove to Winnie's community and was going to stop at the door of Winnie's community, but there
was a car behind urging him, so he took a round and pulled up in a parking space.
“Let me carry you."
