Chapter 221
Seeing that her eyes were full of persistence, Charlie finally nodded and said, "Okay."
"I'll come down soon."
"Hmm," Wendy said softly.
Charlie put the car key in her hand, turned around and walked a few steps. Then, he couldn't help returning and kissing her on the forehead.
There was a car just stopped at the side. It was an old woman who got off the car. When she saw Charlie kissing Wendy, she immediately turned her head away.
Wendy was so embarrassed that she hurriedly reached out her hand to push Charlie.
She didn't let out a sigh of relief until his tall figure disappeared into the building.
Although she was acting calmly in front of him, how could she not be affected at all? She felt that the car was a little stuffy, so she got out of the car, locked it, and walked to the small garden.
Wendy didn't like hospitals very much. Apart from the fact that her mother ended her life here, her grandmother also stayed here for a long time.
The little garden was very well built. Although it was cold now, many patients were taking a walk in the garden.
As she walked, there was a familiar figure on the bench not far away. Wendy couldn't help walking over and said in surprise, "Ewan?"
The man raised his head, the familiar face made her sure that she was not mistaken.
He's wrapped in an army green coat with a stand-up collar, but light on the inside. The V- neck suit exposed the collarbone on both sides. She even suspected that it was a short sleeve. It was so cold, but he wore such enchanting clothes.
"Wendy?" Ewan was also surprised.
"Why are you here?"
"What are you doing here?"
They asked each other almost at the same time.
Wendy explained first, "I'm here to accompany someone to visit a patient."
"That's more like it. I'm also here to see a friend." Ewan nodded.
"Uh, is your friend all right?" Wendy continued to ask.
"Yes." Ewan shook his head. He was rubbing the little jade Buddha hanging down from his neck, but now he slowly released it and smiled, "It's just that she is too stupid!"
Wendy didn't ask any further questions for fear that it might touch on other people's privacy.
She also bent over and sat down. Her coat bag was a little shallow, and the car key in her bag fell to the ground.
Ewan reached out and picked it up for her. He knew that she didn't have a car, and when he saw the Land Rover logo on it, he didn't need to ask. It was obvious that it belonged to a man.
He handed it back to her and asked, "Wendy, you're not done with Charlie, aren't you?"
"Yes..." Wendy nodded.
Ewan didn't seem to be too surprised, without emotion, he said, "It seems that it's because of you that he refused to get engaged."
"Uh!" Seeing this, Wendy was surprised. "Ewan, How do you know so much..." Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
If you look in the old newspapers, you can still find the news of Charlie Hogg's engagement to his fiancee. Even she knew the truth because Donna told her later. She didn't expect that Ewan would know so much about it.
"Well." Ewan smiled ambiguously.
After a pause, he asked her again, "Have you contacted Felix recently?"
"No..." Wendy shook her head.
Ewan didn't say anything more and changed the topic. Rubbing his hands, he said, "It's so cold that my legs are shaking!"
"It's because you don't wear much!" She was speechless.
"Talk to you later. If I stay here any longer, I'll be frozen into an ice sculpture. I still haven't fulfilled my great ambition, so I can't be a part of this garden! Wendy, I'll go back first! I'll catch you later!" Ewan seemed to be frozen and stood up trembling.
"Okay." Wendy nodded. Upstairs, in a senior ward.
When Charlie walked from the elevator to the ward, his father happened to arrive at the door.
Seeing Charlie, Gilbert was so angry that he shouted, "What took you so long to get here?"
Charlie put his hands in his pockets and looked calm.
"B*stard!" Gilbert scolded harshly. "What did you say to Madge yesterday? She took sleeping pills in the evening when she went back! Fortunately, they found her in time. Otherwise, if anything happens to her, can you take the responsibility?"
"I didn't ask her to commit suicide." Charlie twitched his lips.
"Are you trying to piss me off?" Gilbert's eyes widened.
The nurse who passed by came forward, frowned and said, "Excuse me, please lower your voice. You are in the hospital!"
Only then did Gilbert restrain his anger. He looked at the ward and then at his son. "Forget it. Since you've come to see her, I don't want to argue with you about it this time. However, I don't want to see this happen again!"
"You don't even bring a bunch of flower!"
Noticing that Charlie was empty- handed, Gilbert wanted to get angry, but he held it back. He grabbed the flower basket carried by his secretary behind him and stuffed it in Charlie's arms. The door to the ward was pushed open, revealing a small square room with a bed inside.
Madge, dressed in a hospital gown, was lying on the bed. She looked very haggard, with a needle on the back of her hand.
Next to her sat a beautiful woman in luxurious clothes who was cutting apples. She was Madge's mother, Linda. Like Gilbert's second wife, Ella, Linda was well-maintained and had very few thin lines on her face.
"Charlie!"
When Madge saw the tall figure coming in, she immediately shouted in surprise.
And then she saw Gilbert and greeted "Uncle Hogg, you're here too!"
"Madge, how's it going? Are you feeling better?" Gilbert walked up to her and nodded to Linda.
"Uncle Hogg, I'm much better now!" Madge sat up in a hurry and said apologetically, "I'm sorry. I make you come all the way down here!"
"What are you talking about? Of course I will come see you!" Gilbert said hurriedly, "Madge, I'm worried about you. You can't frighten me anymore. I'm so worried when I heard the news."
"I'm sorry..." Madge sensibly lowered her head.
Seeing this, Gilbert couldn't help but stare at his son who remained unmoved, indicating that Charlie was supposed to say hi.
"Charlie, what are you doing standing there?"
Hearing this, Charlie stepped forward silently and put the basket of fruits in his hand on the table beside the bed. He pulled his lips and said, "It's from my father."
Gilbert felt a little embarrassed.
But he couldn't vent his anger, so he could only suppress his anger and said, "Don't you have anything to say to her?"
Madge's eyes couldn't leave Charlie since he entered the door. Even when she talked to Gilbert, she glanced at him out of the corner of her eye. At this time, she looked at him, like she wanted to say something but didn't.
Charlie's expression did not change. He stood with his hands down and said in a deep voice, "Sunny, don't do anything stupid in the future."
"Charlie, you are concerned about me, aren't you?" Madge suddenly showed two dimples, but she seemed to be moved and her eyes turned red. "I didn't mean to. I just couldn't figure it out at that time because I was so sad..."
Charlie interrupted her in a flat voice. "You're an adult, so you should know that life is not a joke."
