Wendy Lim’s heart skipped a beat.
She looked up and saw a strongly defined face and a pair of deep eyes.
There was still a faint smell of smoke in the air. Out of the corner of her eyes, Wendy Lim noticed that there was a cigarette butt on the ground that had not been burned out. It seemed that it had been thrown away in a hurry.
Charlie Hogg was standing two steps below Wendy Lim and holding her from below. So, half of her body was hanging on him, and the place where his arms held was her sensitive waist.
The skin on her waist touched his tight arms muscles, and touched smooth...
"Let me go!" Wendy Lim struggled.
Charlie Hogg seemed to have noticed her sensitive part and swallowed, "Is this your attitude toward a man who helps you?"
Feeling his arms was tightening and touching her waist, Wendy Lim was shy and annoyed. "Let me go! Let go of me..."
Charlie Hogg glanced at her for a while and then released his hand indifferently.
Wendy Lim did not expect that he would suddenly let her go. She fell down on the stairs when she was struggling. Her bent knees got injured and elbows were numb. She could see Charlie Hogg was crushing the cigarette butt with his leather shoes. Then he bent over to pick it up and threw it into the trash bin. He looked down at her with his hands behind his back. She couldn’t find any warmth or tenderness in his eyes.
She had known that the man was cold-blooded. He could watch her cut her wrist without any reaction.
When Wendy Lim wanted to stand up despite the pain. Charlie Hogg suddenly extended his hand to her.
Wendy Lim tilted her head but did not avoid it. He asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong with your face?"
Only then did she notice that his fingers had brushed the long hair on her left face. When she came to the hospital, she was afraid of her grandmother would worry about her, so she let her hair down to cover her swollen face. At this moment, the swollen part and the red marks on her left face were exposed to his eyes.

Hate deception and Abby and Dylan take the cake ,ugh...
NO!!! Tina belongs with Wilson…. Let Dylan and Abby get together...
Wow, once again the villain messes up the true love, Abby needs to go back abroad. And Tina’s true identity as the daughter of Bill Ambrey needs to be exposed! Then the families can “convenience marry” !! Abby is a witch....
Too bad Wilson can’t figure out that his and Tina’s ex’s and his cousin Desmond are conniving creeps!...
Anthea is so stupid, lying and leaving the man who loves her more than life itself. 🤬...
She deserves to be unhappy, being with someone she doesn’t love because of resentment for the exact thing she is doing, hopefully she ends up with no one. Calvin is a wimp and doesn’t love her, just wants a wife to please his family....
So the same basic story as Simon and Addy but stupid Emily is going to marry him! What a hypocrite! Ugh...
Emily gets more stupid every chapter, when did she pickup Calvin as a fiancé!!?? This story line is awful….very sad to do to Simon what she “thought” he had done but didn’t. She is truly a dumb woman. Simon never loved or really even cared for Addy….what the hell is she doing with someone she doesn’t even know or like/love. Awful 😢...
Emily is a fool, don’t let go of the man who truly loves you. Let go of the past, of which he did nothing but help someone who saved his life, and be happy with him… he is your soulmate....
Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face Emily. Just stupid! Ugh 😩...
