Chapter 937 Wendy wrapped up her interview and quickly navigated the airport confidently and radiantly. Things looked up ever since she made that crucial choice.
Unexpectedly, even without the kidney donation surgery, the other party honored their commitment to her without any excuses. Now, she was gearing up to star in a major film by an international director. She'd be one step closer to the A-list when the movie hit the screens.

Dylan coldly produced a black silk eye mask and placed it over his eyes.
Wendy sat beside Dylan awkwardly and involuntarily stole a glance at him.
Something felt off. Even though she found Dylan strangely familiar, why couldn't she recall where she might have seen him before? Given the lengthy flight ahead, Wendy diligently took off her makeup to shield her skin. In the process, she earnestly tried to remember Dylan's
facial features. All of a sudden, a moment of realization hit her.
She then called out to Dylan, "Dylbear? Are you Dylbear?" When Dylan heard this familiar nickname, he removed his eye mask abruptly and stared at Wendy, trying to find that sense of familiarity in her face.

"Your ear?" Dylan asked.
Wendy pointed to her ear and whispered, "Mom and Dad paid for an artificial cochlear implant for me." "And now..." Wendy took out her phone and suggested, "Let's add each other first." Dylan scanned Wendy's personal QR.
When Wendy saw "Dylan Searle" as his
profile name, she couldn't help but ask, "Were you also adopted later on?" — Both of them were orphans and used the director's surname. If Dylbear was now surnamed Searle, then he must have been adopted shortly after she was.
"Yeah," Dylan replied.
Dylan couldn't help but think of Cole, who was older than both him and Wendy. At first, the director of the welfare home also hoped that someone would adopt Cole, but the latter always wanted the younger kids to be adopted and constantly gave up the chance of being adopted himself.
