The supermarket and the shops upstairs all became noisy in an instant.
Many people, who were originally leisurely shopping in the mall, were in a mess at this time. All the staff and security guards came forward in time to maintain order. They took the loudspeakers to evacuate the group of people in the direction of the safe passage.
But even so, the scene was chaotic.
Wendy was squeezed to stagger by the people around her. She even didn't feel the bag in her hand had fallen.
She came here after work, wearing three centimetres high heels. When she was about to enter the safe passage, she was hit by someone. One of her heels was stuck on the threshold. With a crisp sound, she jumped forward. Fortunately, Madge, who was next to her, quickly helped her up.
"Miss Lim, are you alright?"
Wendy shook her head and said gratefully, "Thank you..."
"It's okay!" Madge smiled and looked at her feet and asked, "Are you okay? Can you still walk?"
Wendy nodded to show she was fine. The two of them were surrounded by the crowd and ran outside.
Finally, they came out. The outside of the mall had been blocked. Some customers who ran out and the people nearby were watching the scene of bustle. It seemed that the situation was not serious. Wires in a store on the second floor were short circuited, causing a fire. The fire engine had been in place outside.
Wendy jumped to the roadside, held the street lamp, took off her broken shoe and checked it.
It seemed that her ankle was sprained and swollen. She pressed it gently with her hand, and there was a piercing pain immediately.
She bent over and put on her shoe again. She thought that she could only take a taxi back later. It was really unlucky. She didn't expect that she would encounter a fire alarm. All the things bought in the supermarket were gone and she didn't know whether she could get them back or not. Even if she could get them back, those would be trampled to pieces.
Just as she was about to stand up straight, a tall figure strode toward her.
He walked very fast and stood in front of her before she came to her senses.
Wendy was stunned. Looking at the handsome face that was close to her, she asked subconsciously in surprise,"... Why are you here?"
"What's wrong with your foot?"
Charlie did not answer but asked.
Wendy opened her mouth. Before she could make a sound again, there was a sudden sound behind her, "Charlie!" She froze and almost forgot that she had met Madge in the supermarket. They had just come out together.
"Charlie, why are you here?" Madge asked the same question as she asked just now. She seemed to be very happy. "I came to the supermarket to buy some vegetables. You seem to like eating noodles recently, so I bought a cookbook. There are many ways to make noodles in it. I'll make noodles for you later, okay?"
Charlie did not respond.
Madge didn't seem to care about it. She still smiled and said, "Charlie, how's your calf? You didn't tell me when you were discharged from the hospital. I didn't know until I went to the hospital and asked the doctor that day! You have to be careful with your own health no matter how many things you have to deal with in the company!"
This scene was too dazzling.
Wendy turned around silently and wanted to leave silently.
As soon as she moved, Charlie immediately came over to her. The next second, Charlie carried her up.
"You..."
She widened her eyes and opened her mouth.
Charlie lifted his arm up and said in a low voice, "Your foot sprained. You need to go to the hospital immediately!"
After that, he strode to the white Land Rover parked by the roadside with Wendy in his arms. During the process, he didn't even look at Madge, who was standing by the side.
Wendy was put into the front seat by him and hadn't reacted yet.
How could he...

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 😩...
