Chapter 87 The Reason why He Had a Headache
Chapter 87 The Reason why He Had a Headache
After Leo explained the origin of Penny to her, he continued to say.
"The Burns family is powerful. However, in recent years, it didn't have any development. On the
contrary, it went backward. Therefore, it is quite a good opportunity for Felix. At this point, he will
definitely protect Penny."
Hearing his analysis, Winnie remembered the conversation between her and Felix. No wonder he was
afraid that she would ruin his plan and that he would deal with this matter in person. It seemed that she
shouldn't take any action before he achieved his ambition.
"I guess you're right..."
Winnie stopped after having just said several words, because she found that Leo's stomach was
rumbling.
"Haven't you had dinner yet?"
Winnie asked with concern.
"Well, I had no time to eat."
Leo answered with some embarrassment.
"I'll make you some food."
After saying that, Winnie went into the kitchen.
She searched for a long time, but found nothing but some noodles.
"I can but cook noodles."
Winnie cooked swiftly.
"If you have nothing to eat at home in the future, call me and I'll bring some food for you."
It made her heart ache to think of Leo's empty refrigerator and kitchen. Men all knew nothing about
how to take care of themselves.
When she thought of this, she remembered Brian. Remembering that he hadn't had dinner when she
went out, she was worried about whether Megan had ordered takeout for him or not.
At this point, she suddenly realized what she was thinking, nearly wanting to slap herself in the face.
Brian had been so cruel to her. Why would she worry about him?
Remembered that Brian had nothing to do with me in the future, she thought.
"Winwin..."
"Hmm?"
Winnie's musings were interrupted by Leo. Then, she looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Are the noodles ready?"
Leo still said in a gentle way with a smiling, although he was jealous when he saw that Winnie was
distracted.
"Oh, yes. It's ready."
It was only then that Winnie remembered that she was cooking noodles. Then, she put the cooked
noodles in a bowl hurriedly.
"Leo, don't wait for me to join you at the table. I've got something to do."
Winnie left in a hurry after she put the bowl of noodles on the dining table. She didn't know why but she
was still worried about Brian.
Back in home, Winnie saw only the two kids in the living room and didn't see Brian. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
"Luke, where's your daddy?"
Winnie asked.
"Daddy is taking a rest in his room. He said that he was tired."
Luke answered in a low voice.
"Did your daddy have dinner?"
"No. He said that he felt uncomfortable and that he would eat later."
Hearing his words, Winnie suddenly became tense. Then, she went to Brian's bedroom hurriedly.
Find that Brian wasn't in the bedroom, Winnie went to the cloakroom. Finally, she found Brian in the
bathroom. At that time, he was curling up on the ground with his head in his arms.
"What's the matter? Do you have a headache again?"
Seeing that Brian was painful, Winnie panicked and didn't know what to do.
"Where is the medicine? I'll go to get it for you."
Winnie remembered that he felt better after he took that medicine the last time he suffered from a
headache.
"It...It's in the drawer beside the bed."
Because of the intense pain, it took Brian great effort to speak it out. Winnie rushed out hurriedly and
came back with the medicine at the fastest speed.
"Quick! You'll be all right soon."
Brian swallowed it, but was still suffering from the headache.
"Go back to bed. I'll help you."
Winnie used great force and helped Brian stand up. It was very difficult, but she finally supported Brian,
who was tall, back to his bed with strong will.
"Drink some water."
Winnie put the glass of water beside his mouth, but he was in so much pain that he was unable to drink
the water.
Winnie put the glass down and went to Brian again.
She lifted his head, put his head on her thighs and then rubbed it gently.
It seemed that her hands had magic power. When she rubbed his heads gently, he felt much better.
Gradually, the pain in his head eased.
"Do you feel better?"
Her hands were sore after rubbing his head for quite a while, but she kept doing it.
"Hmm."
Brian suffered from so much pain that he kept sweating and became very weak.
"Well, then I'll do it for you for one more while."
Winnie went on rubbing his head. It was worth her effort as long as it worked.
After quite a while, her hands were numb, so she could no longer control her hands well, sometimes
rubbing his head with great force and sometimes rubbing his head lightly. Brian found it out too.
Therefore, he took her hands and messaged her hands.
"Stop. I feel better."
It made his heart ache to find her small hands swollen.
However, strange to say, the pain in his head would ease every time Winnie gave him massages as if
her hands had been enchanted.
"Why do you have a headache? Why don't you go to see a doctor?"
Winnie asked in a tentative way. Considering that they had just had a serious quarrel in the afternoon,
she believed that it was very likely that Brian wouldn't answer her question.
"It was trauma that caused the headache. My head was injured for two times. The first was when I was
abroad and the second was four years ago. As a result, my blood vessels were injured. It is the
vasospasm that causes the headache. It's useless to see a doctor. Receiving a stent surgery is the
only way to cure it."
It was very surprising that Brian answered her question. After finishing his words, he was also surprised
that he told her that.
Before, apart from himself, only Kevin knew that he had suffered from a headache for many years.
However, Winnie also knew that now.
These years he had successfully concealed this fact from other people. It never occurred to him that
Winnie would see that twice.
"Why don't you have a surgery? You're in so much pain when you have a headache."
Winnie was very puzzled. If he could be cured, why did he choose to endure it?
"If I have the surgery, I'll have to take anti-rejection drugs for the rest of my life. If anything goes wrong,
it's possible that I'll have to have surgery for one more time or two more times. In my opinion, it would
be even more painful."
Brian was still weak, so he spoke in a very low voice. However, he still messaged her hands with a
rather great force.
"It's indeed troublesome. Isn't there any other ways? Who can bear it for a long time?"
Winnie couldn't help feeling worried. Although she hated Brian, but she didn't want him to die.
"It doesn't matter. Now I've found a way to relieve it. I can endure it. After all, I don't suffer from it very
often."
The way he found was to let Winnie gave him message when he had a headache. He felt that Winnie
could make him recover from all diseases and that he would not be afraid of anything if she was with
him.
"You didn't have dinner, did you?"
Winnie moved to another topic.
"No, I don't want have takeout food."
Brian said in a louder than before. It seemed that he had recovered a little. But it also maybe because
he became angry when he remembered what had happened just now.
Hearing he mentioning takeout food, Winnie naturally also remembered that they quarreled with each
other in the daytime. However, considering that he was feeling uncomfortable now, she overlooked it.
"I'll make some food for you."
As she spoke, she was about to stand up, but Brian stopped her.
"Don't leave. Just give me one more minute."
Brian took her hand so tightly that she couldn't move.
In Brian's view, there were two reasons why the headache was relieved. One was that the medicine
worked. The other was that Winnie messaged his head gently. Once she left, he would surely suffer
from a headache again.
Winnie neither left nor spoke. She just sat quietly, allowing Brian to message her hands.
After a while.
"Winwin, what happened in the company today..."
Brian stopped before Winnie interrupted him because he didn't know what to say. Should he apologize
or continue to quarrel with her?
Hearing he called her Winwin, Winnie was stunned for a while before she spoke.
"Why? Must you ask me to apologize to Klara?"
Winnie couldn't help feeling aggrieved when he mentioned this matter. Was she wrong to warn her?
Was she wrong to just tell the truth? It wasn't her fault. Why should she bear the consequences?
"It's all in your imagination. Did I say that?"
Brian admitted that he was cross at her before, but he had to.
"Whether you have said that or not, don't get your hopes up. I had told you that I wouldn't apologize
when I did nothing wrong."
Winnie insisted. No matter what, she wouldn't apologize for that.
"You should know that Klara likes you. Last time, I was there when you had a headache in your lounge.
After she saw me come out of your lounge, she changed her attitude towards me. I'm a woman and I'm
not stupid, so I can tell it. I don't mind it and I don't care that she dislike me. However, I can't tolerate
that she didn't make a clear distinction between public and private interests and deliberately made
trouble for me."
Winnie was just telling the truth. Looking at his calm expression, she was sure that Brian knew that
Klara liked him. If he was still partial towards her when he knew that she liked him, Winnie could only
think that they had an unusual relationship.
"How did she not distinguish the public interest from the private interest?"
Brian only saw Brian scolded Klara and didn't know the cause.
"She...Forget it. It's s all over now. I've warned her; and you've scolded me. Even if I tell you the whole
story, you may not believe me. Even if I tell you that it's her fault now, it can't change the fact that you
abused me because of her."
"I've been made scapegoat for so many times. This is nothing new to me. I don't care how you perceive
it."
Winnie had to stop here because the truth would be exposed if she told him too much.
"Are you really so aggrieved?"
It made Brian's heart ache to hear what she said. He could tell that she was not only helpless; he could
also tell that she had to bear all her grievances because she had no way to vent.
Winnie kept silent for a moment.
"I'm very aggrieved. Since I met you, you have never believed what I said. You believe that I am a liar,
so you think that everything about me is false and dark. Anyone who has experienced this will feel
aggrieved. If my family did not insist on coming back, I would have resigned and left long ago."
At this moment, Winnie was neither anxious nor angry. She seemed to be calm, but she had been
completely disappointed at Brian.
She had got along with him for quite long a time, but she had never won his approval. Today, everyone
appreciated her for her work, but Brian said that she had limited ability.
All these could only prove one thing: she was considered to be a cancer by him and he was alert to her
at all times. For him, she was like a fly in his throat. He could neither tolerate her nor get rid of her,
feeling sick all the time.
Brian's head was placed on her thigh. Winnie wore a gloomy expression and spoke in a bland voice,
but Brian saw the desperate expression in her eyes.
It made his heart ache suddenly. Was it what he had done that made her feel desperate?
When he recalled that Winnie said that she would have resigned and left if it wasn't for her family, he
felt empty and panicked as if he were going to lose the most precious thing.
He closed his eyes and stopped rubbing her hands, but he still took her hands. He was afraid that she
would really resign and leave if he let go of her hand.
