"Take care of yourself. I've got something else to do."
After saying this, Charlie turned around and left.
Gilbert wanted to stop him, but he walked very fast and left the ward in a flash. It seemed that he was not here to visit someone but to finish a task and leave immediately after he finished.
Charlie was making it obvious, even Gilbert could see that, not to mention Madge and her mother.
Linda wasn't too pleased, "Brother Hogg, Charlie is a bit much, isn't he?"
"Yes, I'll talk with him!" Gilbert said with a serious expression.
"Uncle Hogg, don't blame Charlie. It's my fault!" Madge said and couldn't help sobbing, "It's just I'm too sad. He told me that he can't marry me, so I'm sorry... Uncle Hogg, you know, we have been engaged for so many years, and my parents are also very fond of Charlie. I've been waiting to marry him!"
Seeing the girl in a hospital gown with a needle on the back of her hand and being so kind and sensible, Gilbert couldn't help but feel guilty. He sighed and said, "Madge, don't worry. No matter what Charlie said, I'm on your side! You're also my favorite daughter-in-law. You can rest assured that your marriage won't change!" "Uncle Hogg, thank you!" Madge shed tears.
"Well, silly child, don't cry!" Gilbert handed over a handkerchief.
Madge thanked him in a hurry. After taking the handkerchief, she wiped her tears little by little and squeezed a smile.
"Linda, does Brother Lu know about this?" Gilbert looked at Linda.
It seemed that Linda loved her husband very much. Her face softened a little. "He spent most of his time in German in the past two years. The project there is at the most critical moment. I couldn't explain this over the phone. I'm afraid that he will worry about her if I tell him!"
"Well, I also suggest waiting until Madge recovers." Gilbert nodded approvingly as the phone rang, as if there was something else that he couldn't stay longer. Albert looked at Madge again and said in a very gentle tone, "Take good care of yourself. I will come back tomorrow. If you want to eat anything, just say it. I'll ask my cook to do it!"
Madge nodded gratefully.
"Brother Hogg, I'll walk you out!" Linda stood up.
After sending Gilbert out of the ward, Linda came back. Seeing her daughter in a much better mood, Linda rambled a few words, "Madge, You scared me this time. I barely slept all night! Luckily I found you just in time to save you from hell, or else I would have cried my eyes out!"
"Mom, do you really think I'm that stupid?" Madge took Linda's hand. "I only took half a bottle, and I've timed it perfectly. Didn't you tell the maid to send me a bowl of lotus seed soup at 8 o'clock every night?"
Upon hearing this, Linda immediately understood and breathed a sigh of relief.
After a pause, she said to her daughter, "However, you've seen it just now. I'm afraid that Charlie may not fall for your trick!"
"Well." Madge nodded, and her expression was a little stiff.
Looking down at the needle on the back of her hand, she chuckled and said, "Mom, it doesn't matter whether he will fall for it or not! I committed suicide not only to show it to Charlie, but also to Uncle Hogg to let him know that I did it because of his son!"
Linda nodded and smiled meaningfully. She went forward to hold Madge and still said worriedly, "Then you can't do such a thing in the future. You're my only daughter. Do you hear me?"
"Mom, don't worry, I won't do it again!" Madge snuggled up to her and promised with a smile.
Of course, what had been done would not be done again. She was aware of the fact that things can backfire.
When Wendy got back in the car, Charlie had already come out of the building.
She took a look at her watch. It seemed that it was only more than ten minutes. Although he said that he would come down soon when he left, she didn't expect him to be so fast. "You come down so soon?"
Charlie did not answer. Instead, he frowned and shouted, "Where did you go?"
"I'm boring. I just went to the garden." Wendy leaned over and pointed to the direction of the garden.

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 😩...
