Chapter 909 Uncomfortable Eyes
Chapter 909 Uncomfortable Eyes
In the evening, Vanessa came over again to deliver food, this time she brought more, for Winnie and
Brian.
After taking her sister's meal to the ward first, Vanessa went to Rufus' ward again.
Vanessa walked into the ward, Rufus then eagerly opened his mouth and asked.
"Vanessa, how is your sister, is she still unable to speak?"
"Well, still can't say anything, but no fever now."
"Don't worry, Rufus, my sister will be fine soon."
She was worried about her sister, but she tried to appease Rufus, after all, they were both sick.
"What's wrong, Director Chambers is sick?"
After listening to Vanessa and Rufus's conversation, Felix, who had been waiting here for a long time to
drink the soup, only then did he hear some clues.
"Well, my sister is sick and in this hospital too. The doctor said she should stay in the hospital for two
days for observation."
Vanessa explained simply.
"What's wrong? Is it serious?"
Felix was actually concerned about Winnie. He asked several questions one after another, only he
didn't know himself that he could still worry about Winnie.
"Viral laryngitis, because of the persistent high fever, the doctor was afraid of causing other diseases so
she has hospitalized. None to worry about."
Vanessa said to relieve everyone, she had been worried because her sister's immunity was very low
and one slip up could turn into another disease.
"I'll go check on her later."
Although Vanessa said that there was no need to worry, Felix was still uneasy. At this time, he had
forgotten this identity of Winnie being Isobel's niece, and he only wanted to see if Winnie was serious
or not.
"Dad, don't go, Winnie won't let anyone go over there for fear of spreading it to others."
"You're old and your resistance isn't that good."
Rufus stopped his father, if he didn't, Winnie couldn't let him into the ward.
"How did she get sick? Did she get tired from work?"
It was acceptable not to let him see her, but he was still worried.
"To earn money, she wore herself out."
Rufus knew it from Brian, saying that she was in short of money, but Winnie had made herself sick.
"Earn money? Is there a need for money? Why didn’t she ask Brian? Why she was desperate to earn
money?"
Felix didn’t understand, but he seemed to be a little more sensible when it came to money. Was this an
act to gain trust or was he really desperate to make money?
"Brian's money is his own, it belongs to the Bennet family. It's not right for us to use Brian's money."
Vanessa explained, and the look in Felix’s eyes changed when he mentioned money. She did not know
why, but she felt uncomfortable.
"My sister found a way to get the money, she would work hard to pay it all back. My sister doesn't like
to make money, but life forces her to. She had to work hard, for she had two kids and a family to raise."
"The bottom line for my sister is that she can't owe anyone else even if she's suffering."
Vanessa knew that there was no point in saying this, and knew that she shouldn't say this to the Bennet
family either. But she looked at Felix's calculating eyes, she wanted to prove that they didn't take
Brian's money.
The ward fell silent after Vanessa's words.
Rufus was heartbroken, and Paul was even more uncomfortable.
Both kids were pride-sensitive people who didn't expect that much from money, but had to fight tooth
and nail for it.
Rufus frowned and kept thinking that if their parents hadn't had an accident back then, the two kids
wouldn't have had to scramble for money.
Felix felt guilty, because at this time he should not suspect Winnie.
Whether she was acting or not, she shouldn't have been treated with disrespect while she was sick and
in the hospital.
"No one has to worry, my sister will soon be well and will soon be making money."
"You guys eat first, I'm going to go check on my sister and come back later to pick up my lunchbox."
Vanessa finished and left, this last sentence was said to Felix, telling him that he would not spend a
single penny of the Bennet family, so there was no need for him to worry.
In Winnie's ward, Brian and Winnie were eating.
Winnie didn't have a fever this afternoon, but she had a blister-like growth in her mouth that hurt so
much she could hardly eat.
She thought it would be better if she just ate porridge, but it still hurt. In the end, she had to drink soup.
"Why is it getting worse?"
Calvin could not help but ask when he saw that.
"It is acute, and there's time to get heal."
Brian answered Calvin, he was also heartbroken, but he couldn't do anything about it.
Winnie couldn't swallow it after a few sips and simply gave up.
"Won't you take a few more sips?"
Winnie ate too little so that she would have no resistance.
Winnie shook her head, signaling that she couldn't eat.
If Winnie couldn't eat, Brian naturally couldn't eat. He couldn't let Winnie watch him eat, it seemed like
a cruel thing to do.
"Calvin, take it away, I won't eat it either."
"In a moment Albert will come over, so don't go yet, there's a meeting here for a while."
Brian got up after the command, and at that moment Vanessa pushed the door in.
"Finished so soon?"
Vanessa didn't bring the emotions she just felt, not wanting to give her sister a hard time.
"Yes."
The one who answered was Brian, he thought Vanessa would be in another ward for a while, he didn't
expect her to come back so soon.
"Sis, there's something I want to tell you. I'll move back home when you're better. There's a cram
school near home that invited me to lecture and I want to go."
Vanessa decided on the fly, right after seeing Felix's uncomfortable eyes, as they had to stand on their
own feet to be able to encounter less of that kind of heart-wrenching contempt.
Winnie couldn't say the words, but looked at Vanessa in surprise. This matter was a bit sudden, and
she didn't know what the reason was.
"No, we don't feel comfortable with you going back on your own. You're in extraordinary times, just get
ready to leave the country."
The one who refused was Brian, and he believed that Winnie meant the same thing.
Vanessa was going to tutor other kids, just because she wanted to make money.
It was because she could not bear to see her sister sick because of money and she wanted to help her
as much as possible.
At Brian's objection, Winnie nodded, indicating that this was what she meant.
"It won't interfere with going abroad, I've got my own agenda."
Vanessa was unconvinced, and this unconvinced still came from Felix's doubtful eyes.
"That won't work either, you can't be separated from your sister. Going to a tutoring class is nothing
more than trying to earn money and trying to help your sister. How frustrated she should be if she can't
even support you and let you work part-time."
"She doesn't want my money, but I'm not going to watch you guys get in trouble."
"Keep your mind on your studies, and don't worry about the money. I'll take care of your sister, you just
get good grades to make your sister happy."
"If you want to make money and want to help your sister, you have to build a good foundation, there will
be plenty of opportunities for you later."
What Brian said not only represented his own meaning, but also Winnie's.
It was impossible for Winnie to let Vanessa go out to work even if she was suffering. And looking at
Penny's current crazy look, Vanessa's safety was also something they couldn't rest assured about. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
Vanessa was better off with her sister.
Brian's words still made Winnie nod her head frequently. What Brian said was what she wanted to say,
she didn't need Vanessa to go out and work to earn money. She only needed Vanessa to study well to
have a wonderful life in the future, and it wouldn't be in vain for her to pay so much.
Vanessa was touched by Brian's words, and she didn't know how to reply, nor did she know if Brian
could be safely expected.
At first, Vanessa thought Brian was a match to her sister, but in the end, it proved that he only brought
her sadness.
Seeing his attitude now that had been changed, Vanessa couldn't believe it.
"My sister worked too hard on her own and she was carrying too much pressure, I just wanted to help
and try to take some of the burden off my sister."
Vanessa had been taken care of for so many years, and looking at her sister in this state now, she
hated herself for her inability to do anything. If she and her sister both took everything together, her
sister would definitely be much easier and wouldn't be lying on a sick bed.
"With me, you don't have to worry, you are easing your sister's burden by getting your studies figured
out. Vanessa, your thoughts will only make your sister worry more and won't help at all."
"Do as you're told and don't go making money, your sister has settled, so you don't have to be
struggling for money in the future."
Vanessa's understanding and her words of guilt made Brian's heart ache. At a young age, she had to
think so much, worry so much. If her parents were around, how could they bear to see their child like
this?
Brian's words warmed the heart of not only Vanessa, but also Winnie.
If she and Brian had no surrogate, if she had family power, if she was deeply loved by Brian, they
would have been happy. Brian was the tree she could rely on for the rest of her life, and she could just
be a full time wife.
But it started in a wrong way, so much so that Brian was going to be her tree and she didn't dare to be
underneath anymore.
It was better to rely on no one than herself, for she would never betray herself, would never abandon
herself.
"I know, I'll be a good student and not give my sister any trouble."
Vanessa thought Brian's words were justified. That she did well and did not let her sister worry was the
best help to her sister at this time.
"That's right, talk with your sister. She can type."
Brian was relieved, he believed that Vanessa would keep what she had promised.
The next day was Monday, and when she woke up in the morning, Brian was not there, but there were
several people at the door of the ward.
They were arranged by Brian, afraid that Penny would come over to cause trouble again.
Winnie was feeling better, not running a high fever, and she could make a sound now.
