Wendy felt dizzy, as if she would die in the next second.
When her hand touched the cold hard object, she regained some strength. She silently dialed the number she had been repeating in her mind a million times, and quickly dialed it out.
"...Hello?"
As soon as the line was connected, her voice trembled.
It was said that women's delivery was like a trip to hell. She was afraid, and might have used up all her strength. When she spoke again, she was already in a tearful tone. "Charlie..."
There was a silence for two seconds, and then a soft female voice said, "Charlie is taking a bath. It's not convenient for him to answer the phone now!"
Wendy's phone slipped from her ear as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
The nurse walked forward, took away her mobile phone, and rushed into the delivery room.
The operating light covered the whole room. Wendy closed her eyes, and there was a crystal tear rolling down between the corners of her eyes.
Everything around her seemed to come from a distance. She kept pushing in tandem with the midwifery slogans of the doctors and nurses around her. Sometime later, she faintly heard a baby's cry. It was very small and light, but for some reason, it suddenly disappeared.
Wendy, who was about to fall into darkness, held on to her last consciousness and grabbed the doctor weakly.
"Where's my child? I want to see the child..."
A doctor wearing a mask looked down at her and said seriously, "I'm sorry! We've tried our best. Premature birth led to premature placental abruption, the umbilical cord wrapped around the neck leading to asphyxia, and we didn't save the baby!"
The white Land Rover was parked in the yard. Charlie pulled out the key and went straight to the villa.
As soon as he entered the door and changed his shoes, a servant came up to him and reported respectfully, "Young Master, the Old Master wants us to tell you that he's waiting for you in the bedroom!"
"Okay." Charlie pulled his lips.
He went up to the second floor and went to the innermost room. When he pushed the door open, Gilbert was standing by the window. On the side of the wooden armchair, there was a beautiful figure sitting on it. However, Madge didn't greet him with a smile like she did every time seeing him.
She crossed her hands on her knees, and the smile on her face didn't seem to be very natural. Charlie did not look over. His eyebrows were furrowed. The sunlight conning in from outside the window shone on his stern face. It seemed that he had become thinner and his facial features were more distinct.
He didn't intend to stay for a long time, so he directly asked, "Dad, what do you want? I have two more meetings to hold later!"
"Charlie, come here!" Gilbert turned around and reached out to him. "There's someone you need to see.
Charlie narrowed his deep eyes.
There was no one in the room except Gilbert and Madge. Charlie was confused but soon found that there was a colorful crib next to Gilbert, which was out of tune with this ancient Chinese-style bedroom. He took two steps forward and lowered his eyes. There's a sleeping baby in the bed, who was holding a small fist.
At a glance like this, Charlie felt as if his chest had been grabbed by someone.
"This is the bloodline of our Hogg's family!"
Gilbert's deep voice sounded at this moment, confirming what was on Charlie's mind.
It was like a bolt of lightning had rolled through the back of Charlie.

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 😩...
