Chapter 287 Wake up from a Nightmare


    After listening to Brian''s words, Winnie finally knew what was going on. She also knew why there was a


    meal today.


    Whether Brian loved her or not, she was moved by the behavior of Brian.


    She found her eyes moist, her nose sore, and herself unable to control her emotions.


    "Thank you, I''ll take it."


    Winnie said gently.


    How could she refuse Brian’s careful arrangement and delicate gift? As Brian said, take it as souvenir.


    That was the only one time in life.


    "Well, I''ll put it on for you."


    Brian was surprised and even excited. Unexpectedly, Winnie did not refuse but dly ept it.


    Though the street light was not so bright and Brian’s hands were trembling with excitement, he put


    Winnie''s ne on her neck urately.


    "Good on her, don’t take it off."


    Brian was satisfied with the ne, which looked extraordinary on Winnie''s neck.


    "How do you know my birthday?"


    Winnie calmed her mood and asked Brian, but her fingers kept running back and forth on the ne.


    "When you were at the hilltop vi preparing for the surrogacy, one day you asked me to stay with you


    until 12 o’clock. You said it was your birthday, so I remembered. It was a pity I did not stay. I''m sorry."


    It waste to say sorry, but it was sincere.


    Winnie was once again touched by Brian’s words. She never thought he would remember her birthday


    at that time. With tears in eyes, she looked at Brian with deep feeling.


    "No need to say sorry, I should say thank you. Without you at that time I think I would have been


    defeated by fate.”


    Winnie remembered what had happened to her at that time, and her tears could not help falling down.


    "We did not know each other, and we did not know what we looked like, but at that time you are my


    only spiritual support.”


    When Brian heard this, he felt very distressed. He stretched out his arm and held Winnie directly in his


    arms. He was her support at that time, but he was cold to her. Why couldn''t he have been gentler and


    helped her more?


    "I''m sorry, I let you down as a spiritual support."


    The guilt to Winnie grew more and more as he got to know her. Brian tried his best to make up for it,


    but Winnie was too tenacious and persistent.


    She took herself as a towering tree without anyone to protect her from wind and rain.


    "Don''t say you''re sorry. We don''t owe each other anything. We don’t need to say sorry."


    Winnie did not feel Brian had done something wrong, although sometimes she thought if she did not


    meet Brian, she would not have so much pain.


    But she would not be so easy to get through the difficulties without Brian, there were no her two lovely


    children now, and she could not experience the taste of love.


    Even though her love was sour and bitter, in her life it was still a bright spot.


    Winnie buried her face in Brian’s chest and sobbed uncontrobly. It was a long time before her spirits


    rxed and her mind rxed.


    Winnie stretched out both hands to embrace Brian. This moment she was moved by Brian. Even if this


    man did not love her, even if this man did not belong to her, she wanted to indulge for a while, to feel


    the lover in her dream.


    "Mr. Be..."


    "Call me Brian."


    "......"


    "Brian, wish me a happy birthday, this is the most special birthday I had in so many years, because of


    you, because of your gift, thank you!"


    At the moment, Winnie was not afraid of heartache, not afraid of the shadow of the death of her parents


    still tormented her, because there was Brian, he was still her spiritual support.


    Brian''s hands moved to Winnie cheek from her waist and let her tearful face away from his chest.


    He gently wiped the tears on her face and looked at Winnie with deep feeling.


    "Happy birthday, Winnie!”


    As the words fall, he held Winnie''s rosy and delicate face and kissed on her attractive red lips.


    Winnie had not heard the words "Happy Birthday" for many years. When he said it out, she felt


    extremely warm.


    At the moment, Winnie felt the sweet kiss of Brian and said thank you again in her heart. Thank the


    man she loved for giving her a special birthday.


    That night, Brian slept soundly because he was in a good mood, but before daybreak --


    He was dressed in a ck casual suit, wearing a mask and a hat. He was walking alone on the street


    in the MG Country. When he was crossing the street, a car came rapidly towards him. He had no time


    to dodge and as it bumped into him, he woke up.


    Brian sat up, breathing heavily, with sweat oozing from his forehead.


    He had had this dream more than once, but he did not know why he kept repeating it.


    This dream had been in Brian''s mind. Sometimes it felt real to him.


    At noon, Brian came to the hospital and Kevin''s office. He told Kevin this dream.


    "And then, did you get hit or not?"


    Kevin asked Brian with worry. But Brian''s attention was not on Kevin, and he did not notice it.


    "No, I always wake up at that moment."


    Brian also wondered if he had been hit by a car, wondering if it was a sign that something bad was


    going to happen or if what had happened could not be removed from his mind.


    "Kevin, do you think it has something to do with the part of my lost memory?"


    That was what Brian had been wondering.


    "You''re overthinking it and it''s normal to have the same dream or simr dreams often. A lot of people


    do."


    Kevin exined.


    "But I did wear that dress years ago. And the dream was very real."


    Brian had always felt at a loss about the part of his lost memory. He tried to remember, but it failed and


    he would have a headache every time.


    "Don''t think about it. It''s impossible. It''s just a dream. Why bother yourself?"


    Kevin tried to persuade Brian, knowing that he was concerned about the dream.


    "It does bother me, and I wonder if that car hit me."


    Brian''s voice was low. He thought that there was something real, so he had such a dream.


    After Brian left, Kevin made a call to Ste about Brian''s situation.


    "Ste, what he dreamed about was the scene when he was in a car ident. But only part of it. He


    didn''t remember it."


    "Will he restore the memory?"


    Ste asked with worry.


    "Well, little by little it wille back to him. Ste, if he remembered, what should we do?"


    Kevin was worried. These memories were bad for Brian, and they had concealed it for years.


    "We can''t help it. We can''t control it. I don''t think it would be a big deal if he remembered. Uncle


    Thomas did not seed, and now it is quite stable. As long as Uncle Thomas is good, Brian will not


    care about it."


    Although Ste said so, it was not absolute, after all, she was not Brian, and they did not have the


    same thought.


    After the car ident, Brian''s brain was not badly damaged, but he lost part of his memory. It


    happened that this part of the memory was very destructive to family harmony, so Grandpa did not


    allow everyone to talk about it. That was why the family had been maintained until now.


    After all these years and nothing had happened, no one would expect that he would dream of that


    scene.


    In fact, Ste was worried, afraid that Brian remembered all and the tranquility would be disturbed.


    Winnie kept wearing the ne Brian gave her. When the family asked about it, she said she bought


    it.


    In Winnie''spany.


    She had work tomunicate with Laura, so she called Laura to her office.


    Laura sat down in the front of Winnie''sputer and the two began to work on it.


    It soon finished, but Laura found the ne on Winnie''s neck.


    "Winnie, your ne is exquisite. When did you buy it?"


    Laura''s eyes were full of envy.


    "Oh, it''s been several days."


    Winnie said in a low-key voice.


    "It''s so beautiful. Is it a gift from your boyfriend?"

    Laura smiled with a mysterious smirk.


    She had never seen Winnie wear jewelry before, including earrings, nes, rings. But now she was


    wearing a delicate ne, and Laura had a second thought about it.


    "I have no boyfriend, I bought it myself."


    Winnie said with embarrassment and did not get used to Laura''s enthusiasm.


    "I like it, too. How much is it? Why did you buy it? I''ll take one if it''s within my price range."


    Laura continued to ask curiously.


    "I don''t know. A friend of mine bought it for me. It''s a verymon look. It should be easy to get."


    Winnie prevaricated, because she didn''t know where Brian bought it and how much it cost.


    Winnie’s inconsistent words made suspicious Laura have more doubt.


    Just now she said she bought it, but she did not how much it was and where it was bought. It was


    obvious that Winnie was lying.


    "Let me take a picture, and I go to search on the Inte. If it is too expensive, I cannot afford it, then I


    will buy a inmitation."


    Laura took out the phone, and Winnie allowed her to take pictures.


    Laura left Winnie''s office and went straight to the bathroom.


    Sitting in the bathroom, she sent the picture to their chat group.


    Laura: See how much this ne costs.


    Soon ra replied with a sentence.


    ra: I can''t tell from the picture. I don''t know what kind of material or brand it is.


    ra: You bought it?


    Laura: I can''t afford it.


    The picture only had Winnie''s neck and ne.
