Afterward, Winona needed to visit the hospital for a blood transfusion at least once a week.
Stefan and Wynne took turns accompanying her.
Winona remembered a time when she used to hide her illnesses from her family. Now, things were different.
Surrounded by so much care, she found herself opening up. If she felt the slightest bit unwell, she told Wynne or Stefan immediately. With them by her side, she felt an overwhelming sense of confidence that she could safely carry this baby to term.
That evening, Winona attended a networking dinner with Jericho Harper, where she unexpectedly bumped into Wesley Hewitt.
Wesley smiled as he approached her. "Winona. I've been trying to ask you out for ages, but who knew I'd finally catch you at a business dinner?"
"You're too kind, Mr. Hewitt," she replied politely. "We aren't exactly close enough for casual dinners. Plus, I'm already taken. I prefer to keep a respectful distance from other men. I'm sure you understand."
Her rejection was as clear as day.
But Wesley played dumb. "Can't we just be friends? I highly doubt your partner is that insecure."
Winona's expression remained cool. "I wouldn't be comfortable with him keeping close female friends, so I return the favor. I'll always prioritize his feelings and would never do anything to give him a reason to doubt me."
Wesley froze.
He had watched his friends date, break up, and get back together. Relationships that actually lasted were rare. Some people stayed together out of convenience, others out of loneliness, and some just to keep their families off their backs. To find someone so fiercely considerate of their partner, providing that level of absolute security... it was almost unheard of.
He envied whatever guy had Winona's heart, but it also made him wonder—if he were her boyfriend, could he be that devoted?
Quickly, he gave himself the answer: *For Winona? Yes.*
Who in their right mind would ever let a woman like her slip away?
