Chapter 042 I Can Lump It
Roderick smiled, “I’m glad you are okay, I worried so much about you! Your legs appear promising to recover.”
Charlie said, “I hope so.”
Anyway, everything was going well.
Roderick yawned. “I’ll go to bed then.”
He walked out of the ward after finishing his words.
Seeing that Roderick left and Charlie was fine, Theresa said to Charlie, “Then I’m going back, too.”
She was glad he was okay!
She just came to check on him.
Seeing that she was leaving, Charlie said, “Wait.”
Theresa heard him and glanced at him over her shoulder.
Charlie said, “I decide to give you a reward for spending time with me so late.”
“Huh?” A reward?
Hearing the reward, Theresa got excited. The boss was generous indeed, was he going to give her money?
It was so considerate of him to give her money when she was on a tight budget.
She was expectant until she heard Charlie say, “So today, I’ll just permit you to stay with me for company.”
Theresa was dumbstruck for a moment, and then she looked at Charlie incredulously. Oh, man, you call this a reward? Surely she was not willing to do it!
Why would she stay with him since he was all right? Besides, wasn’t Jonathan here?
But Theresa was too timid to make it too obvious.
She made an excuse, “I want to go back. I left two babies at home, I’m worried about them.”
“They are just sleeping at night, What makes you so worried?” Charlie looked at this awkward woman. Did she decline the
permission to stay with him for the company?
She made it look like he was making her stay!
Theresa said, “But there are only two kids at home…… I am afraid.”
“Then what are you doing in the hospital?” Charlie looked at her.
Theresa was speechless. Is it wrong to check on you?
She said, “Just hearing that you are in hospital, I felt worried, so I’m here to check on you.”
“That’s it,” Charlie said, “I need company now, and I want you to stay.”
She wanted him to make her stay, didn’t she?
He could permit that!
After hearing Charlie’s words, she twitched her mouth and looked at this man for a while, not knowing what to say. Charlie saw her sitting aside and said, “Come here.”
Theresa had no choice but to go there.
Charlie said, “Water.”
Theresa poured him water.
She sat down beside him and looked at the man on the bed in the quiet ward. Theresa asked, “Do your legs still hurt?”
“Yeah.”
Looking at him, Theresa knew he wasn’t feeling well, so she took pity on him and stayed.
Charlie finished his water and saw Theresa staring at him as if she was worried.
He never knew this woman cared so much about him.
He consoled her, “Don’t worry, this pain is nothing and better compared to waking up in the hospital knowing I couldn’t
stand up anymore at that time.”
That was a blow to the heart!
As a normal person, to know that he was disabled and couldn’t stand up any more was the most devastating thing. And now, everything was reversed.
Theresa said, “You’re going to be all right ”
Alter the contact with Charlie, she found he wasn’t a bad guy.
A proud man like him should be sound instead of being stuck in a wheelchair
After hearing Theresa’s words, Charlie took a glance at her Theresa had left the house in a hurry, with her hair untied.
and hanging loosely down, which was not in her discreet manner as usual.
He looked at her and said, “Come here.”
After hearing his words, Theresa paused for a second. Where?
