Chapter 100 The Reason to Be Indifferent to Luke
Brian could tell from Winnie's words that she was complaining. However, before everything was figured out, he couldn't alarm Penny in case she would be alert. And for the time being, he could only wrong
Winnie.
Winnie coldly grunted in her heart, thinking that she wasn't convinced by Brian's words.
If she remembered correctly, she had told Brian that he didn't need to call the police. Even so, in the end, the police were alerted. Could it be that these few people colluded together to put on a show to deceive her?
"Really? Who called the police? You? Did you do so just to clarify it for Penny and Klara? You didn't have to do so. Even if I know that it is the two of them who did it, with you protecting them, I can't do anything to them."
Instead of being angry, Winnie felt sore in her heart. She was now Brian's woman. And she didn't get a bit of favoritism from Brian. To him, she didn't have any value except in bed.
Winnie walked out of the studio and came to the living room. Seeing Luke sitting there without any expression, she became angrier. She wondered that who Brian would care about in his heart if children weren't important to him.
The next day, because the police had asked Winnie to testify whether she had lost the cell phone, she could only take a half-day off from work.
She only intended to go to the police station to cooperate with the police. As for what the result would be, she didn't give a damn about it. She had figured everything out after Brain had revealed the truth to her If Brian had any evidence against Penny and Klara, he wouldn't have chosen to call the police.
For others, Winnie didn't have any problem with them. However, she just asked about the whereabouts of the cell phone. The police told her that the thief had lost the cell phone. Winnie thought that it was quite ridiculous for a thief to lose the cell phone.
Winnie walked out of the police station and saw that it was still early. Thinking that she couldn't waste the off-time this morning, she drove to the hospital and found Kevin.
When it came to other things, she didn't want to know about them. She just wanted to know why Brian was that cold and distant towards Luke. Only by finding the root cause could she solve the problem and make Luke sincerely happy.
Winnie felt that Kevin surely knew the truth. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said that Luke's depression had something to do with Brian.
"Why are you here?"
Kevin was looking down at a case. Hearing the sound of the door opening, he looked up and felt surprised that the one who had come in was Winnie.
"I came here so suddenly. I wonder if I will disturb you."
As Winnie spoke skillfully and warmly, she curled up the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing her dimples.
Kevin said flirtatiously, "No, no. Whenever a beautiful woman comes to see me, I will all be available."
Winnie naturally made others find her an eye-pleasure.
"My place here is in humble conditions. There is only a chair for you."
Kevin pulled out a chair in front of the desk, asking Winnie to sit there. Then he got a bottle of mineral water gentlemanly, unscrewed the lid, and put it in front of Winnie. Winnie politely said, "Thank you!"
After that, she continued to speak, "Your time is tight. So I will directly get down to the point."
Winnie didn't want to disturb Kevin too much. After all, it was Kevin's working time.
"What's the matter? Say it."
"Luke's condition has gotten a lot better recently. But I find that as long as Brian is cold to him, he will be quite depressed. I also talked to Brian and asked him to show as much fatherly love as possible to the child. But he didn't cooperate well. Sometimes, when he is in a good mood, he will be good to the child. But most of the time, he is cold to him with an indifferent look, which is not good for Luke's illness."
Winnie paused. At the thought of these, the faint smile on her face also disappeared.
"What do you want to ask me?"
Kevin, who was a smart person, could tell Winnie's meaning beyond her words.
"I want to know why Brian is so cold to Luke. Luke is his biological son. Why should he be indifferent to him? I can only find a solution to it if I know the reason. Otherwise, Luke's illness will keep recurring." Winnie couldn't help but feel sad. She had done her best to help with the child's recovery. But Brian didn't cooperate with her. In that case, no way that Luke could fully recover.
"He treats him so because of a woman."
Kevin didn't hide the truth from Winnie. However, it was the first time he had mentioned this woman. The reason why he only told Winnie about her was that he probably felt that she was trustworthy.
For the recovery of Luke's illness, Kevin had turned to Brian, only to fail. The reason why he told Winnie about the truth was that he put his hopes on Winnie, hoping that Winnie could convince Brian.
Winnie was stunned at first. Then she looked at Kevin.
"A woman? The woman who has been abroad?"
"Do you know her?"
Kevin looked at Winnie in surprise. He originally thought it was a secret between him and Brian. but he didn't expect Winnie would know about it.
"Yeah. He told me by himself."
Winnie curled up the corner of her mouth once again. But this time, she looked bitter.
"This woman left because of Luke. Because of Luke's sudden appearance, this woman was angry, which was why she went abroad. So Brian has always been distant to Luke."
Kevin had made the reason known to Winnie. As to whether the issue could be resolved or not, it was Winnie's problem.
"It's funny. They failed to deal with their issues. Why should they vent off their anger on a child? The child doesn't know anything. Why should he shoulder all of these? Why did they give birth to the child if they weren't capable of shouldering the responsibilities?"
"Dr. Kevin, can you be more specific?"
Winnie was angry and heartbroken. And a mist rose from the bottom of her eyes.
Years ago, Brian indeed had said that she made things difficult for him. At that time, she didn't understand. But now she finally knew why. For a woman, he wronged a child.
"Answer me a question first before I am more specific."
Kevin had to make sure of something before he knew what he should say and what he shouldn't.
"Go ahead."
Winnie was puzzled.
"Why don't you ask Penny? Why do you think the responsibility for Luke's depression is all on Brian?"
Kevin had been puzzled about this. In his opinion, Winnie seemed to ignore the existence of Penny. In Winnie's perspective, Penny was Luke's biological mother, wasn't she?
Kevin's question stunned Winnie once again. She hesitantly looked at Kevin, wondering whether she should tell him the truth. But in her opinion, since Kevin had asked her so, he probably had guessed something.
"Penny isn't Luke's mommy. She can't shirk her responsibility. Even so, she isn't helping Luke's recovery at all."
Winnie finally told Kevin the truth. As for these words, she couldn't tell Brian about them. However, she thought that she could trust Kevin. Although Kevin looked carefree and unrestrained, in his heart, he was kind and warm.
Kevin looked at Winnie jaw-droppingly. He was incredulous that she knew so much.
"How did you know that?"
"Luke told me."
Since Winnie told Kevin the truth, she thought that she had to tell him the truth thoroughly. Winnie believed that Kevin would conceal it for her.
"Did Luke know it as well? How did he know?"
Kevin simply couldn't calm down this time. And his tone indicated that he was quite shocked.
Luke knew the truth. But he didn't say anything while bearing all by himself. No wonder he would be depressed.
"Luke happened to hear the conversation between the Chairman and Brian. But he never said anything. The child is quite understanding, fearing that speaking out will bring trouble to Brian, which is one of the reasons for his depression."
"Penny isn't good to the child. If she can treat Luke as if he were her biological child, Luke won't be depressed."
Winnie could only tell Kevin these details because she promised Luke and her promise to Felix.
"My God! You and Luke know everything. That's why Luke is especially dependent on you. That's why he won't go home, right?"
Kevin hadn't gotten over his shock. Originally, he thought that Brian had been hiding everything all well. He never expected that Luke would have known the truth early. He had always thought that Luke's depression was caused by Brian. But he didn't expect Penny to have anything to do with it.
"Yes, Luke doesn't like Penny."
Winnie nodded her head and affirmed it. As for the reason why Luke liked her, she thought it was because of the bloodline connection more.
"I indeed didn't expect Luke to have so much pressure. Nor did I expect him to endure so much."
Kevin finally calmed down a bit. However, thinking about Luke made his heartache.
Winnie pleaded, "As for this matter, please help me keep it a secret. Luke doesn't want Brian to know about it. You should pretend not to hear my words and let things go as they are."
Luke got along with her now. She didn't want to make a scene because of the possibility that the truth might be revealed.
Kevin assured her, "Don't worry. I won't say anything."
They went back to the topic they had discussed just now.
"I'll give you a specific description of their relationship."
"Brain and this woman were college classmates. They fell in love, which was known by his family later. But this woman's family background was average and did not meet grandpa's requirements. Therefore, his grandfather had been opposed to their relationship. And they could only secretly keep their relationship going on. Later, Brian was determined to support the woman's father, hoping that he could make his grandpa satisfied one day. But his grandpa couldn't wait, saying that he would only let him take over the Bennet Group after he got married or had a child."
Kevin took a slow breath and continued, "To better support the girl's family, Brian could only agree to his grandpa's condition and marry Penny. However, before that, because of the woman's health issue, Brian had gone to find a surrogate woman who gave birth to Luke without discussing it in advance."
As Kevin said here, he stopped, thinking that Winnie surely would be shocked and dumbfounded after she knew Luke's mother was a surrogate woman. However, at this time, he saw that Winnie couldn't be calmer.
Besides looking sad, Winnie didn't have any other expressions on her face at all, making Kevin puzzled.
"After Luke was born, this woman felt hurt, went abroad in a fit of anger, and never came back."
Kevin revealed everything that had happened between Brian and that woman to Winnie. It was unknown whether Brian would kill him after he found out the truth.
"So he distanced himself from Luke and treated him coldly like that. He vent all his guilt towards the woman on Luke. But why didn't he ever wonder why Luke had to suffer this. Luke didn't know anything. He was just a child."
As Winnie spoke here in anger, she could no longer finish her words. And she couldn't help but shed tears. She didn't cry because of Brian. Instead, she cried because of Luke who had shouldered the responsibilities for no reason for so many years.
"Sorry, I'm a little excited. Dr. Kevin, you should get busy first, I'm leaving."
As Winnie spoke, she got up and left quickly. She didn't want to be seen mentally breaking down by Kevin.
Although Kevin was uncomfortable in his heart, he thought that judging from Winnie's overreaction, there should be a problem.
Kevin thought to himself, "Winnie and Luke are casual acquaintances. Why do they have so profound and strong feelings for each other that they can't let go of each other? What makes their hearts be linked together as if they were a pair of mother and son? Wait. Mother and son?"¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶
