Chapter 64
However, it was too late. Charlie and Simon were already standing by the bed.
Simon, who was wearing a white coat, was standing in the front, bent slightly to ask the old lady about her condition, and occasionally took note of a notebook.
Wendy slowed down and moved to the other side of the bed quietly, which was ignored by all of them.
After knowing about what he wanted, Simon walked to the window to answer a phone call, and grandma's eyes fell on Charlie.
Fearing that she might be mistaken, the old lady put on her presbyopic glasses and said, "Are you Wendy's boyfriend?"
Wendy didn't dare to look at him, but she could feel Charlie's eyes were fixed on her.
"Uh! Well, I..."
She nervously swallowed and prevaricated.
To deal with the situation here was even tougher than to figure out a difficult math question. When she didn't know what to do, Charlie suddenly took a step forward, "Grandma, nice to meet you!"
"Good to see you too!" Grandma smiled and nodded, and her eyes fixed on him, "I finally see you today! In fact, I have been wanting to see you, but I was afraid that it would be too rash."
"No, I've been wanting to see you for a long time." Charlie glanced at Wendy, who was standing opposite him. He showed a faint smile and said, "But Wendy didn't allow me to do so."
His voice was calm, peaceful, and soft with respect. It was not as cold as usual.
The old lady was satisfied. She smiled and motioned to her granddaughter, "Wendy, bring a chair for Charlie!"
"Okay..."
"Wendy, bring some fruits for Charlie!"
"Got it..."
Wendy brought a chair and an apple to Charlie. She secretly peeked at his when she was doing these. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
He acted so naturally that she was in a trance.
Wendy even thought about it in a good way. Maybe he didn't hear what grandma had said just now. He was just willing to be kind to the old lady. Just as on the cruise ship, he was very patient when he stayed with the elderly.
However, Wendy couldn't move her eyes away from him. She would look at him subconsciously, especially when he was talking to grandma without distraction. He was in a good manner and patient, "Grandma, no worries. Doctor Chin is my friend, and he was really a good doctor."
"Good boy, thank you!" The old lady nodded repeatedly.
Simon, who was standing by the window, hung up the phone and walked back, "I've known about the patient's condition. I'll further think about it after I go back." "I'll see you off." Charlie nodded.
"I'll see you off, too!" Wendy hurriedly put down the apple.
The door of the ward closed, which blocked the old lady's sight.
"Mr. Chin..."
Wendy realized something wrong and quickly corrected, "Doctor Chin, I heard that you were expensive..."
"I can offer you a friendly price. What's more, Charlie is your paymaster, no worries!" Simon put his hands in his white coat pocket and raised his eyebrows to show a smile.
Wendy was a little offended by the word "paymaster".
Yes, in other people's eyes, it was indeed the case.
"You don't need to worry too much about your grandma. I'm good at heart bypass surgery."
"OK." Wendy nodded.
To put it bluntly, three Doctor Hsu would no better than one Doctor Chin.
Simon looked at the watch and said to them, "Since it's in the hospital, I have to be responsible for the patients. I can't talk with you more and I must go back and get prepared. There is an operation at seven o'clock in the evening!"
"Thank you, Doctor Chin!" Wendy was sincerely grateful. Simon waved his hand and said no problem. He turned around and left. His white coat drifted as he was walking.
Wendy's eyes were moving with him.
She was still shocked now. Simon Chin, who was a dandy in the club, turned out to be a doctor. The nurses nodded to him when he passed by. He looked strict and dignified, which was totally different from what he was like in the club.
You could never judge a person by his appearance...
Suddenly, a male voice came to her ear, "What are you staring at?"
Wendy looked up and saw Charlie standing in front of her. There was a flame in his deep eyes.
She was confused and looked at Simon again.
"Stop looking at him."
Wendy moved her eyes away obediently.
Simon was his friend. Should this man be so domineering?
Wendy turned to him. After the gloomy on his face disappeared, she said to him, "Charlie, I know that Doctor Chin is your friend, and he will help my grandma because of you. So, thank you very much."
"I said that I will give you everything you want if you make me happy." Charlie's eyes were full of mischief.
"Oh..." Wendy lowered her head.
It seemed that he was quite satisfied with her. So, could this be regarded as an extra reward?
She felt better to think like that, but she was a little depressed in her mind.
Just as what Simon said Charlie was her paymaster.
Wendy took a deep breath and found that his deep eyes were still fixed on her. Then he narrowed his eyes and suddenly asked, "What about the boyfriend?"
"Uh!" Wendy was embarrassed and explained, "Did I make you feel uncomfortable..."
Charlie didn't answer, but his face gradually darkened.
The meaning in his eyes made Wendy confused. Then, he said in a slow tone, "Wendy, how long have you been with me, and you want me to publish that you're my girlfriend?"
"I don't!"
Wendy denied in panic.
He took her as such a scheming woman.
Wendy gritted her teeth and finally calmed herself down.
Wendy looked into his black eyes which were clear and bright. She said word by word, "Because you've paid all my grandma's medical and surgical expenses and transferred her to a better ward. She knew I couldn't offer that and worried I would do some illegal or immoral things. So, I lied to her that you are my boyfriend... But, Mr. Hogg, I know who I am and understand the relationship between us. I won't dream of anything that I shouldn't get!" "Don't worry, I promise I won't fall in love with you!"
In order to get across to him, Wendy added.
Charlie clenched his teeth hard, as if his masseter muscle would burst out of his skin.
In the beginning, he did consider her as a scheming woman, so he got angry. But now she calmly and firmly said that she didn't intend to be his girlfriend. His anger didn't decrease, on the contrary, it grew stronger.
Especially her promise at last!
Wendy saw that his face darkened and he looked still very unhappy.
In order to dispel his misunderstanding, she continued to say, "And..."
"What!" Charlie said in a deep voice.
"Don't take my grandma's praise seriously..."
"Why!"
"She is an old lady with poor eyesight. She can't even tell the differences between two famous celebrities, so..."
Charlie seemed to be angrier,"..."
Wendy opened her mouth and was about to say something more, but he turned around and left quickly.
