Both of them were shocked.
They looked over at the same time, a tall and strong figure came out of the bathroom. Charlie was wearing black suit pants and a white shirt, with a fruit tray in his hand. He walked out with anger.
Wendy raised her hand and touched her forehead silently.
She was so regretful ...
Why didn't she just lie down and sleep?
This fool Francis, who came from Hong Kong, it's bad enough that he confessed his love to her, he had to do it at this time, it was just going to embarrass her ...
Wendy didn't dare to look at Charlie's face, because she knew how upset he looked right now without looking at it.
When she looked down, from the corner of her eye, she saw Charlie walk to the hospital bed. The two men stood face to face, and even the air could feel the tension that was on the verge of breaking out.
Wendy swallowed silently. The two of them ... wouldn't fight, would they?
If they really fought with each other, it was impossible to rely on her to pull up the fight. She looked at the call bell next to her and was ready to press it at any time.
Just when she was nervous to the point of cold sweat, the out-of-control image that she expected did not appear. It was as if the two men had a tacit understanding as if nothing had happened. Francis lowered his head and looked at his watch. "I suddenly remembered I've some business to attend to. Miss Lim, I'll go back first!"
"Alright ... " Wendy nodded dully.
"I'm leaving, Mr. Hogg!" Francis nodded at him.
Charlie gave a fake smile and said, "Mr. Wallace, see you!"
The door of the ward was closed, leaving only the two of them. The suffocating atmosphere did not decrease at all. It was like a calm sea surface, but it was actually full of stormy waves and could roll over at any time.
After Francis left, Charlie strode to the cabinet and threw the fruit plate on it.
The back of Wendy's spine tightened.
She licked her lips and broke the silence. "Charlie, have you washed all the fruits?"
Charlie didn't answer her, but put down the sleeves of his shirt and buttoned them up. As for the question she asked, it was obvious that he was answering her silently that she needed to see for herself.
"Looks pretty clean!" Wendy said with an awkward smile.
Seeing that he was still ignoring her, treating her like air, and putting a poker face like a sculpture, it dawned on her that the way Larry posed was inherited from him ... 1-)
Wendy cleared her throat awkwardly. "Well, you heard what Francis just said, didn't you?"
"Don't you know that the walls have ears! ?" Charlie sneered.
"... " Wendy was at a loss for words.
Of course, she knew it. Who would have thought that Francis would make such a sudden confession? She was also shocked!
Wendy was sitting on the bed with a needle inserted into the back of her hand. She couldn't move, so she could only wave her hand at Charlie. After getting his attention, she asked cautiously, "Charlie, are you upset?"
"Should I be glad?" Charlie asked.
"I also didn't expect that Francis would suddenly come here today, and said such shocking things!" Wendy felt very anxious and complained, "I swear, I absolutely didn't have private relationships with him! I only met him twice in Hong Kong, and we didn't speak more than ten words together, and there's nothing between us. I was also surprised, How did he suddenly get such an idea ... "
Including the last time they met at the airport, they met three times in total.

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 😩...
