Chapter 68
Soon, he was standing in front of her.
Because of her sitting position, Wendy had to raise her head to see him clearly.
Charlie cast a glance at the operating room. He sat next to her, and a small part of his white cuff was exposed to her eyes.
"Charlie, why do you..."
There was a surprise in Wendy's eyes, and she looked at him in a daze.
She felt warmth on the back of her hand and heard Charlie's calm voice, "Don't worry, everything will be OK."
When they were in the car the day before yesterday, Farr reported his schedule. Although Wendy didn't listen carefully, she remembered that he was fully occupied today. But now he appeared here without any notice...
She lowered her head and looked at the big hand covering her hand.
His hand was big and thick, which could almost completely cover hers. The warmth in his palm transferred to her hand back.
Now, there were two shadows on the floor. When she moved slightly, a part of their shadows overlapped. She was no longer alone.
With his company, the anxiety and fear in her heart reduced a lot. It was the first time that there was someone accompanying her when she was vulnerable...
Three hours later, the door of the operating room was pushed open.
Wendy jumped up from the bench, however, because she had been sitting for a long time, her legs were a little numb. Charlie put his arms around her waist from behind and went forward together with her. Simon, wearing a white coat, took off his mask and said, "No worries! The operation is very successful!"
"Thank you! Thank you!"
Wendy repeated twice and finally felt relieved.
"Your grandma is still in a coma due to anesthetic. She will be sent to the ICU for observation for a night. If everything is normal, she can go back to the ward tomorrow morning. She needs to have a good rest to recover. She should be all right!" Simon smiled.
Then a nurse pushed the old lady out of the operation room. Wendy quickly walked over and said, "Grandma!"
When she approached the corner of the corridor, she could not help turning around.
Charlie was walking to the elevator. His back was tall and his pace was fast, as hurried as when he came.
Coming out of the company, Wendy got on the bus to the hospital. When she opened the ward door, she paused for a moment.
She heard somebody talking inside, and in addition to grandma, there was another man.
Wendy pushed the ward door open and saw the old lady still lying on the bed and a man in a black suit sitting on the chair next to the bed. Because of his height, his body slightly leaned forward, and his shoulders looked wider.
Charlie?
She was a little surprised.
There were some fruit baskets and flowers in the ward.
Grandma saw her and asked, "Are you off work?"
Wendy nodded and looked at Charlie's side face.
Grandma saw this and said with a smile, "Charlie has been here for a while!"
"I'm here to see Simon, and pay a visit to grandma by the way." Charlie turned back, looked at her, and said.
"Oh..." Wendy suddenly understood.
She put down the fruit she had bought and thought for a moment. Then she took out two banana and peeled them. One was handed to grandma and the other to Charlie.
The latter took the banana and gently stroked her hand with his fingers.
Wendy blushed, but fortunately, grandma didn't notice it. "Wendy, look at the infusion bag. Is it almost finished?"
When Wendy heard the words, she stepped forward and adjusted the infusion speed, "Wait a minute, I'll call the nurse."
"I will go." Charlie had already stood up.
Wendy watched his back as he left. When she looked away, she happened to meet the old lady's smiling eyes, which made her a little shy.
When the ward door opened again, Charlie came back, followed by a nurse and a support worker.
"...This is?" Wendy was confused.
"Grandma said that you have been here for three days. You will fall ill if you keep doing this. It's better to have someone support you." Charlie looked at the support worker behind him and replied. It was true. After grandma had the operation, she had been staying in the hospital when she was free.
She was grateful to him because he didn't ask her to come to him these days.
Charlie walked to her and said in a low voice that could only be heard by the two of them, "Besides, who is going to satisfy me if you're ill?"
"..." Wendy's ears were burning.
He was the only one who could flirt with her in a calm face.
When it was getting dark outside, Charlie was about to leave, so grandma asked her to leave with him.
After getting in the car, Wendy paused for a while and said, "Charlie, you don't need to go to the hospital..."
"Didn't you tell grandma that I'm your boyfriend? I should visit her." Charlie glanced at her and teased her mildly when he turned to the right. Wendy wanted to say that he didn't need to cooperate with her. However, when she thought of grandma's smile, she held back her words. "Thank you..."
"You know how to thank me."
Here he was, but Wendy trembled as well.
She thought that he would take her to his house, but he sent her back to her home.
The car parked under the street light. Charlie turned his head to Wendy, and his face was half bright and half dark. He looked extraordinarily handsome.
He reached out his hand to unbuckle her seat belt and said, "Have a good sleep. I'll pick you up at six o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Six o'clock in the morning?" Wendy thought she had heard it wrong.
"See you!" Charlie continued.
"Oh..." She nodded obediently.
At six o'clock the next morning, Wendy waited downstairs on time.
It was still a little dark outside, the black Bentley flashed its front light and turned in from the narrow street. Along the way, two old men who were doing morning exercise stopped and looked at the car. When the Bentley stopped in front of her, Wendy was yawning.
Farr got off the car and opened the rear door for her.
Wendy got in awkwardly and sat steadily next to Charlie.
Charlie raised his hand to pull off the hat of her jumper form her head. Her long hair was not tied up, and the top of his head was in a mess. She was rubbing her eyes, which looked like a squirrel. "Very sleepy?" He raised his eyebrows.
Wendy held back her yawn and said, "Well, a little bit..."
"You sucked!" Charlie teased her.
He looked down at his watch and said to her, "There's a long way to go. You can sleep for a while."
Wendy wanted to say no, but her shoulder was held by him.
Then, he pulled her over, and she leaned on his legs. His palm was put on her head.
"Where are we going?"
"You'll know when we get there."
She thought she had plenty of time. There were still more than two hours before her work started, so she shut up.
In her sight, there was only a pair of leather shoes. She hadn't slept well in the hospital during the past few days, so she fell asleep quickly. After a long period of time, she heard Farr's voice from the front, "Mr. Hogg, We arrived!"
Wendy sat up and saw almost everyone outside holding a suitcase. She was still half-awake.
"Are we going to pick someone up?"
Charlie shook his head, took her hand, and got out of the car, "I'm going to the US on a business trip for a week. I'll take you with me."
