Wendy looked over and saw Felix slowly open his eyes.
Maybe because he was sick, he was in a daze for a few seconds and then asked, "Wennie, you're here?"
"Yes." Wendy nodded and replied, "Felix, how are you feeling now?"
"Much better. It's not a big deal. Don't believe Ewan's words!" Felix smiled at her.
Wendy frowned. She knew that he didn't want her to worry too much, so he said like that.
"Silly girl, don't worry. I'm fine!" Felix showed a big smiled and said in a hoarse voice, "I've been a soldier for so many years. I'll be all good tomorrow morning. Flow about living in the countryside?"
"That's good..." Wendy answered in a soft tone.
She lowered her head and found that her hand was still held by him, which was already slightly sweaty.
Suddenly, Charlie's face appeared in her head...
Wendy quickly withdrew her hand as if she was burned. She tried to cover up her uneasiness by standing up, "Felix, do you want some water?"
The soft feeling in his hand disappeared, and loneliness flashed in Felix's eyes, but soon, it was gone.
Wendy helped him sit up and gave him the pills according to Ewan's instructions before he left. "Felix, you should have more sleep because you are so weak now!" She helped him to lie down again and put the pillow flat, "I'm here with you. Just let me know if you need anything. I'll sleep in the guest room after your temperature backs to normal."
After that, Wendy picked up an empty glass and was ready to get him more water.
"Wennie..." Felix called her from behind.
"Flmm?" Wendy turned back.
Felix was staring at her, and she could see the struggle and entanglement in his eyes, "In fact, I really want to ask you why you didn't appear at the airport a year ago, and why didn't you go to the United States with me. But at the same time, I think you have done the right choice..."
"I'm 12 years older than you."
"I've been married before, and I have a son. But you are so beautiful and young. Flow can I deserve you?"
Wendy clenched her fists and answered, "Felix, I..."
She opened mouth but suddenly realized that she did not know what to say.
One year wasn't a long time, but wasn't too short either. Something irreversible happened.
Felix waited for a long time but didn't get her reply. Fie mocked himself, "Why should I mention this to you? The medicine makes me sleepy. I'm going to sleep"
The next morning, Felix had not yet woken up when Wendy left.
She cooked some congee for him and left him a note, telling him to eat it after he got up.
Wendy caught up with the bus in a hurry. Fortunately, she was not late. When she arrived at the company, she was short of breath. After clocking in, she took out her phone and was shocked. There were several missed calls, and they were all from the same person.
Last night, in order not to disturb Felix, she switched her phone to silent...
When she was considering whether she should call back or not, the phone rang again.
Wendy pick it up hurriedly. Charlie, who was on the line, said in a low voice, "I called you last night, why didn't you pick it up?"
"I had fallen asleep..." She swallowed.
She suddenly recalled the experience of telling a lie, she asked nervously, "You... have you come to my house?"
"No." Charlie replied.
Flearing his answer, Wendy breathed a sigh of relief.
Charlie seemed to be in the company. She heard another person asked him to sign the document. Then, he continued, "I'll pick you up after work. Let's buy some food and cook for ourselves at home."

The readers' comments on the novel: Purchased A Mr. Right
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 😩...
