Wendy held her breath and heard a faint sound of footsteps coming from inside.
The security door was opened from the inside. In addition to the light flashing, there was also Charlie's handsome face. He was wearing a home suit, and the bandage on his right calf seemed to have been removed.
His short hair was slightly messy, as if he had just got up from the bed.
Wendy pointed at him and said, "You..."
"What's wrong?" Charlie asked flatly.
Wendy blinked her eyes."... Didn't you move?"
"Who told that?" Charlie still asked calmly.
"..." Wendy swallowed. "You haven't come back for a long time, so, I thought..."
"The water pipe burst a few days ago, and the floor and wall tiles were soaked in water. I couldn't live until yesterday when the maintenance personnel repaired it." Charlie interrupted her.
"Well, I see..." Wendy understood. She looked down and couldn't help asking, "Is your calf okay?"
Hearing this, Charlie also looked at his right leg.
"You have a fracture. Are you really OK like this?"
"You care about me so much?" Charlie raised his eyebrows. Wendy was embarrassed and dared not to look into his eyes. He faltered, "It's normal for friends to care about each other..."
"The doctor said it's okay," Charlie said with a slight smile.
"Well..."
"Do you have anything else to do?"
"...Uh?" Wendy looked at him blankly.
Charlie put one of his arms on the door frame, and there was a hint of tiredness in his deep eyes. "If there's nothing else, I'm quite sleepy now."
She nodded and after a while, shook her head.
Then, the security door closed, the footsteps inside were getting farther and farther away. Wendy stood still for a few seconds before she remembered to go back her own home.
After work in the evening, Wendy went to the supermarket.
Because it was a day of discount, she got off the bus in the middle and wanted to buy some daily necessities and discounted goods.
Fortunately, there were not many people in the supermarket. She pushed a shopping cart and walked in.
Charlie [Hogg] went back to the house opposite her, so every night his window was lit with warm yellow light. But now he did not take the initiative or take the opportunity to approach her as before. They just occasionally met and said hello when they went to and from work.
Unconsciously, Wendy found that she parked her shopping cart in the fresh product area, with fresh beef bones in front of her.
Charlie's bone was injured, the beef bone soup would be a great tonic for him to drink ...
After realizing what she was thinking, Wendy hurriedly put down the bone that she had picked up. However, she quickly put it back in the food bag again. It didn't matter if she helped make soup for a friend, right?
After Wendy finished selecting the beef bones, she pushed the cart to the vegetable area and wanted to pick some.
When she picked up a bunch of spinach, someone beside her reached out at the same time.
This scene seemed familiar to Wendy. She subconsciously turned her head to look at the person and then she was stunned.
Unexpectedly, there would be such an amazing coincidence. She quickly withdrew her hand and wanted to push the cart away quickly, but the other party did not seem to think so. Instead, she smiled and asked, "Haven't we met before?"

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 😩...
