Chapter 881 Isobel’s Call
Winnie raised the corners of her mouth with a cold snort, self-deprecating.
She felt clownish, since so, why did he suspect her before?
But she did not speak it out, or she would be hurtful.
“I liked you before, but I dare not do it again, for I don’t want to me enemy of other women, I don’t want
to be hurt you and them.”
“Brian, no matter it is true or not, I will give you the answer, so that you can make you decision.”
At this, she encouraged herself, “We have broken up and it will work out in the future, so focus on other
women, you will find a good woman.”
Winnie said sadly, but to her surprise, Brian did not interrupt her.
He listened to her carefully, but he did not agree her words.
She can fall in love with other men, but he was his decision who he loved.
“Good woman, I think Wendy is good, and I used to dater her, since you give up on me, I will go back to
her.”
Brian said, as he took out his phone.
“What are you doing?”
Winnie asked anxiously.
“Call Wendy...”
“No.” Winnie spoke up.
Wendy got worse and had nasty story, she did not think Wendy was a good woman and did not what
Wendy hurt Brian.
“Why?” Brian asked calmly.
He knew she did not mean it, so Brian did so to prove that Winnie still cared about him.
He did not know why Winnie would say no when Wendy got involved, but he was pleased to see her Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
response.
“I know know, but this is my only requirement.”
Winnie knew everything, but she could not tell him, for it was a matter between Brian and Wendy,
which should be dealt with by themselves. If she told him, Brian would be sad.
She did not know how much Brian loved Wendy, but he would be ashamed if he found it out.
“I have requirement too, if you say yes, I will say yes.”
Brian gave a wry smile.
“What?” Winnie asked with confusion. She did not own him anything, what requirement would he have?
“Don’t ever leave me, and I will never have contact with Wendy.”
Brian did not put Winnie’s words in his heart. Even if she meant it, he would not care about it, he would
try to make her change her idea and make her come back to him.
Having that said, he wanted Winnie to express her thought.
“I am not kidding, can you be serious?” Winnie rolled hereyes.
“I am kidding, but I meant it with the last sentence.”
“I will do it according to my feeling.”
Brian gave his answer, or she would continue.
Winnie was speechless, for her words did not work.
So she changed the subject.
“I will take the kids out to play on weekend, if you worry, you can have the bodyguards follow us.”
Winnie intended to ask him for opinion, but he refused, she wold explain to Finn.
But Brian angered her, so she just informed him instead of asking for opinion.
“Where to, with who?”
Brian asked curiously.
“Finn, and his daughter.”
Winnie told him the truth, she wanted Brian to know that she could find another man.
“Finn?” Brian was thoughtful.
If he opposed, Winnie would not go, but it was not respect to her. However, he was annoyed by this
man called Finn.
“Go then.”
Brian surprised Winnie.
She looked at Brian with surprise, like he was talking nonsense.
But she kept silence.
Since Brian agreed, she would have a day of fun.
In the hospital, Paul helped Rufus lying in bed have a video chat with Isobel.
Seeing that Rufus had tubes all over his body, Isobel could not control her emotion. She was a doctor,
but she could not bear to see Rufus look like that.
“Is he weak?”
Isobel asked Paul, so that Rufus could have rest.
“Yes, and he recovers slowly.”
Paul had been there with Rufus since he had the surgery, and he knew Rufus’ conditionn well.
“Well, he is old.”
“Let him have more rest, and don’t let others bother him.”
As a doctor, Isobel knew the situation, but she did not want it happened to Rufus.
Rufus opened his mouth.
“Let me tall to her.”
Rufus asked Paul for the phone.
Paul came to him and showed him the phone.
“When will you come back?”
Rufus asked Isobel weakly, felt he got strength back seeing Isobel.
"Soon, so stop talking and get well."
Rufus' voice was like a needle piercing into Isobel's heart.
She couldn't imagine how helpless it must be for such a mighty and tall man to lie there. People can
love and hate when they were healthy, but once they were sick, they only hoped to be healthy.
Those love and hate were insignificant compared to health.
"It's okay, I'll wait for you to come back."
When he heard that Isobel was coming back, Rufus was happy and couldn't wait to get up from the
hospital bed and go to the airport to pick her up.
"Paul."
Isobel called out to Paul, who then switched the camera to him.
"Yes."
"Get house for us in G City. He had a lung surgery that will affect his breathing, and the air in G is good
for recuperation. Rent a house temporarily and I'll take care of him for some time. We'll go back to B
City when he is recovered."
It was something Isobel had thought about for days before deciding.
The decision to take Rufus out of the familiar city was because she didn't want everyone to know and
had to get Rufus' health in order.
"No problem, I'll have it ready as soon as I can."
This decision of Isobel surprised Paul.
"Don’t tell anyone, just say that you're going out to convalesce. I won't say anything to Winwin, I'll say I
have an extension at work."
"If once everyone knows about it, there's no way for Rufus to get better. The most important thing now
is to get him back to health before he has the energy to face something."
Not only did Isobel want to take Rufus away, she also thought of some countermeasures.
Now it was not the time for everyone to know the truth, Rufus' health mattered the most.
As for Winnie and Brian's matter, for the time being, they could only look after it themselves.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure everything is arranged. You'll just be responsible for taking care of Rufus."
Paul spoke gleefully, as if it happened to himself.
He was happy for Rufus, who had been waiting for more than twenty years and finally he saw hope.
Although Rufus had heard the good news, Paul couldn't restrain himself from repeating it after hanging
up the phone.
But to his surprise, Rufus shed a silent tear.
"It's my turn to make it up to her, and instead she comes to take care of me. I owe more and more."
Rufus said heartbreakingly. He felt indebted to Isobel, but he did not expect to drag her down.
"So you need to get well, so that you can make it up to her."
Seeing Rufus' tears, Paul was also heartbroken. For so many years, no matter how many big events
he encountered, Rufus had never shed a single tear. Today, it might be because of his weakness and
inability to do anything, and it could also be out of his debt to Isobel.
"Don't overthink about it, the kids would find out when they come."
Paul wiped away Rufus' tears with sterile gauze.
A man would not shed tears unless they were sad, Rufus was indeed sad now.
In recent times, the one who had the most peaceful time was Klara.
She told her family that she was at work, but she spent all day with Jonny. Even so, she got bored.
"Jonny, I'm trying to find a job."
Klara said to Jonny, actually hoping that Jonny would let her work at his company.
"Why, isn't it good now?"
Jonny responded indifferently to Klara while lying on couch playing with his phone.
And he had understood what Klara's intention was to bring up work once again.
