Chapter 231
Chapter 231
In a senior ward, because of the purifier, disinfectant in the hospital didn't smell like hell.
Gilbert was lying in the hospital bed in his hospital gown. He looked much older than last night in the Hogg's Mansion but still serious. He didn't seem to be sleeping but was closing his eyes.
Apart from Gilbert, Madge was also in the room. She also seemed to have just arrived and was sitting in a chair next to the bed, peeling an apple. Donna, who had been staying in the hospital, was lying on the sofa with her legs crossed, reading the magazine in boredom.
Hearing the sound of opening the door, Donna suddenly jumped up to welcome Charlie and Wendy.
"You two are coming!"
"Yes." Charlie replied calmly.
Donna took them inside and patted on Wendy's hand by the way.
Madge also looked over at this time, showing two dimples happily. "Charlie!"
Hearing their voices, Gilbert opened his eyes. But when he saw Wendy behind Charlie again, his face sank rapidly. "Why did you bring this woman here again?"
"Dad, Wendy made you chicken soup." Charlie took Wendy's hand and said. Gilbert sat up and didn't appreciate it at all. "Can't you see that Madge has already sent me chicken soup?" Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Wendy also saw a familiar pink thermal lunchbox on the table, and she couldn't help but hold it tightly in her hand.
Donna stepped forward, blinked at Wendy, took the lunchbox with a smile, turned around, and put it down in front of the hospital bed. "Oh, my dear brother! Why are you so ignorant?"
Gilbert glared at his sister grumpily.
Wendy plucked up the courage and said, "Chairman Hogg, I hope you get well soon..."
"I don't want to see you. Get out!" Gilbert interrupted Wendy.
"I know you don't want to see me either, but Wendy asked me to come. So, you can be mad at me, not her." Charlie said in a low voice.
"You!" Seeing that Charlie was defending Wendy, Gilbert was even angrier. He gnashed his teeth in anger and said, "You wanna piss me off? You keep messing with me like this, are you out of your mind? Not only did you ruin my birthday, but you brought her to my ward to piss me off? Do you want me dead?"
It seemed that the more he talked, the angrier he got, the redder his face was. He suddenly sat up, grabbed the nearest pink lunchbox, and threw it at Charlie.
It was too late for Donna to stop him.
It was very fast, but Charlie stood alone in the same place, with no intention of dodging.
Wendy quickly turned around and got in front of Charlie when the lunchbox was thrown over without thinking. The lunchbox hit her back hard before falling to the ground and rolling into the corner, spilling soup all over the floor.
"Ah!" Wendy let out a muffled groan.
"Wendy?" Charlie reached out and hugged her. He frowned and asked, "Did you get hurt?"
Donna walked over quickly and asked in a concerned tone, "Wendy, are you alright?"
"It's okay, I'm fine..." Wendy gasped and shook her head.
Madge's lunchbox was filled with soup. It was made of stainless steel and it was heavy. Wendy felt that the back spine seemed to have shifted, and the pain was stopping her breathing.
Gilbert seemed to be stunned for a moment after seeing this, but soon, he was consumed by anger. "I'm sorry I ever had a son like you. You've been a pest since you were born! If it weren't for you, your mother would come down from the operating table alive!"
"If I could, I would choose not to be born." Charlie suddenly said in a low voice.
Gilbert seemed to be touched, and his body was a little shaky.
"Uncle Hogg, are you okay? The doctor said that you must control your emotions, and be careful that your blood pressure will rise again!" Madge hurriedly went forward and patted Gilbert's chest gently, and then looked at Wendy. "Miss Lim, can you go out first?"
"Sorry, I'm leaving..." Wendy lowered her head.
Charlie grabbed her hand and said, "Let's go together!"
"Get out!" Gilbert pointed at them, his fingertips trembling. "You two get out of here..."
At the end of his words, he suddenly fell down on the bed.
"Uncle Hogg!" Madge whispered.
The doctors and nurses came over quickly, and there was a mess.
Gilbert was just having great mood swings, nothing serious, and calmed down quickly after the sedative.
Donna walked Charlie and Wendy to the elevator and comforted them with a smile. "Your dad has me here. Don't worry! He'll be fine."
Charlie nodded and took Wendy away.
After all this, it was already evening when they got home.
Once inside the house, Charlie bent over and picked Wendy up and strode into the bedroom.
After putting Wendy on the bed, Charlie began to take off her clothes. Wendy struggled with a red face, "Er, what are you doing..."
"Don't move! Let me see your back!"
Charlie held her moving hand and said in a low voice.
Wendy was so embarrassed that she got him wrong. She didn't dare to nag anymore and was very cooperative when Charlie took off her shirt. Only she wanted to keep her corset, but he took it off as well, revealing two jumping little white rabbits.
Charlie turned her sideways and focused his eyes on her back without any dirty thoughts.
There was a large bruise right in the middle of her back spine.
Charlie took out the medicine box that Wemdu usually put under the bed and found the ointment, but still frowned. "It's too bad. Are you sure you don't need to go to the hospital?"
"No..." Wendy shook her head with certainty.
"Hold on a little longer. It might hurt." Charlie began to apply ointment to her.
Wendy nodded, not a single cry of pain the whole time.
When Charlie finished, Wendy put her clothes on a little shyly, still not able to get too exposed in front of him.
When she raised her hand to tie the second button in her collar, she paused.
"What's wrong? Did you touch the wound?" Charlie asked immediately.
"No..." Wendy shook her head and looked up at him. Suddenly, she sighed and said, "I just regret that I should've taken the $2 million from your dad. Then I don't need to get beaten up now..." Charlie's eyebrows slowly narrowed.
"I'm kidding!" Wendy said with a laugh.
He really worried too much about her, so she was trying to lighten the mood and keep him from tensing up too much.
Charlie's lips twitched twice, and his big hand touched her back through her clothes. "Don't do this again. Do you hear me?"
"Okay..." Wendy replied meekly.
But she knew that if there's any more of this, she would not hesitate to do so again.
