Donna said, and really made a show of turning around to leave the room.
Wendy hurried over and grabbed Donna's hand. She explained awkwardly, "Aunt, please don't misunderstand..."
"What did I misunderstand?" Donna asked purposely.
"..." Wendy lowered her head and her ears turned red.
Donna saw that Wendy was amused and didn't know where to put her hands and feet, and kindly let her go, then frowned and asked, "Charlie, how is Larry?"
"The surgery was done last night and went well." Charlie twitched his lips and looked back at the hospital bed. "He is still not awake."
Donna also followed Charlie's line of sight and walked to the hospital bed. Larry was quietly lying on it, his face was pale, especially his head was wrapped in a thick layer of gauze. He looked so weak that it made people's heart ache.
After watching for a while, Donna turned around and raised her hand.
She hit Charlie's back hard as if she had used all her strength. However, she seemed to be afraid of making a noise to disturb Larry, so she suddenly pinched Charlie through his shirt. She grabbed a piece of his flesh and twisted it almost 360 degrees.
Although this scene seemed to be familiar to Wendy, she still felt a lot of pain when she looked at it.
It seemed that it was true. Charlie almost got a knot between his eyebrows and even let out a muffled groan.
Donna pinched Charlie a few more times like she's still angry, and she deliberately pinched his armpit where it hurt.
"Uh, Donna..." She licked her lips.
"I'll just strangle you to death, you b*stard!" Donna glared at her nephew angrily, "How dare you hide such a big thing from me until now! I'll tell you, Charlie, if anything happens to Larry, I'll break all your ribs and throw them into the river to feed the fish!"
"..." Wendy was also shocked by her vigor.
"I'm afraid you're worried," Charlie explained helplessly.
"You still dare to say that? Now I'm still worried!" Donna glanced at him and reluctantly let him go. "Forget it. Fortunately, Larry is fine now! But how did that happen? No perpetrators were caught?"
Hearing the words, Charlie frowned slightly and said, "I have contacted the police, checked the surveillance at the crossroad, and asked the witnesses around. Larry knows the rules of the road and waited for the light to turn green before crossing the crosswalk, but he was hit by a motorcycle that came out of nowhere. It was probably a deliveryman or food delivery who saw the hit and probably fled the scene in fear.
"This is outrageous! Hitting someone without first checking for injuries and sending them to the hospital, and then running away! It was a child who got hit! This kind of person is really a scourge of society. D*mn it!" Donna gritted her teeth in anger. "What did the police say? Did they catch him now?"
Listening from the side, Wendy was also very angry.
Fortunately, it was on the bustling street corner. If she hadn't found Larry in time, if she hadn't had a passerby to call 911, and if the driver of the motorcycle had fled after hitting someone instead of saving them, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Charlie pursed his thin lips and said, "Since the man was wearing a helmet, his face was not clearly visible, and the license plate was obscured, the investigation and forensics will take some time."
"Okay." Donna could only nod. Seeing that both of them had just woken up, she said, "Charlie, Wendy, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you? There's a shop selling steamed dumplings filled with crab roe at the hospital entrance. I'll buy some for you!"
Because of the awkward scene Donna just bumped into, Wendy's filled with embarrassment.
She couldn't be alone with Charlie anymore, it's easy to be misunderstood. So she hurriedly said, "Er, aunt, I'll go with you!"
There were a lot of people in the breakfast shop, and Wendy and Donna waited in line for a while before getting fresh steamed stuffed buns. They bought two drawers and went back to the hospital building. Donna came in a hurry when she heard the news in the morning and didn't eat anything. The three of them sat around the sofa.

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 😩...
