Chapter 76
"Wendy? Hey..."
Charlie patted her face with his hand, but she had no reaction, only her eyelashes were trembling.
Charlie frowned. He had only wanted to punish her, but he did not expect that she had a serious acrophobia.
That could explain why she kept silent all the way when he took her to the airport. When they got on the plane, her face was full of tension. It turned out that it was not only because she took an airplane for the first time, but also because she had a serious acrophobia.
Charlie frowned more deeply, causing some small lumps between his eyebrows.
"Wake up, Wendy!"
He called her twice more, but there was no sign for her to wake up.
Charlie carried her up and strode away from the ground.
When they returned to the hotel suite, the private doctor he had called arrived just in time. It was a Chinese American, who couldn't speak Chinese very well, "Mr. Hogg, this lady fainted because she was too frightened."
"Then why hasn't she woken up yet?" Charlie's face tightened.
It had been almost an hour since they came back from the parachuting venue, but she was in a coma all the time.
"She might have caught a cold and had a low fever." The doctor put down the stethoscope and answered, "It's not very serious. Take some medicines and use an ice pack to bring down a fever.
She will feel better soon!"
He had made love to her many times last night.
At last, he even lifted her up from the bed and put her against the French windows through the curtain. Next to her, there was a split hanging air conditioner...
Charlie coughed awkwardly and asked Farr to walk the doctor out.
He called the guest room service to send an ice pack. He wrapped it with a towel before putting it on Wendy's forehead.
Wendy, who was unconscious, seemed to struggle for a while.
Charlie snapped, "Don't move!"
It seemed that it still worked to unconscious Wendy, so she immediately became docile.
Charlie had not changed his clothes yet since he entered the suite. He pulled open the collar of his shirt and wanted to turn around and take off his coat and throw it on the sofa. Suddenly, his drooping hand was caught.
He lowered his head and saw the hand was tightly held by her.
"Mom..." Wendy's eyelashes fluttered gently, and her dry lips opened.
Charlie leaned over and sat on the edge of the bed. He held her hand and patted on it to comfort her.
After sending the doctor out, Farr came back and stood by Charlie's side. A few minutes later, he suddenly said, "Mr. Hogg, Miss Lim seems to be calling your name!"This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Charlie raised his eyebrows after hearing that.
His face got closer to her, and then he put one of his ears next to her mouth.
He vaguely heard his surname, which touched his deep heart. He held his breath for a moment, then heard she called again in a low and hoarse voice.
"Charlie Hogg, you're a b*stard..."
Charlie's face suddenly changed.
Farr hastily waved his hand and said, "Ahem! I didn't hear anything!"
"Oh my god, someone up there wants to jump off!" "It seems to be a woman!"
More and more people gathered in the front of the inpatient building. They all looked up and stared at the woman in the hospital gown on the top floor. It seemed that in the blink of an eye, she would jump straight from the top floor.
Little Wendy squeezed out of the crowd, and the doughnut in her hand fell to the ground.
She opened her mouth and shouted, but her voice was shouted down by the people's chattering. She tried to stop her mother, but it was useless. She could only watch her mother falling from the top floor, like a withered flower, and her blood spread over the ground...
"Mom, don't..."
Wendy suddenly opened her eyes.
Her eyes were blank, after a while, she became concentrated. Then, she realized that she was on the plane.
The window shades had been put down. It seemed to be dark outside, the cabin was quiet, and no flight attendant was walking around.
Wendy subconsciously moved her hand and found that it was covered by a thick palm.
Wendy's eyes moved up from the palm. There was a watch on the wrist, a muscular forearm, then a protruding Adam's apple and a sharp chin. His eyes were closed, looked like he had fallen asleep.
"Miss Lim, you're awake!"
Farr, who was sitting on the other side of the aisle, looked at her with a smile.
Wendy was a little confused. "We are..."
"We're flying back to China on a private plane. After the skydiving, you have been in a coma for a day and a night!" Farr looked at Charlie and continued, "Mr. Hogg has been accompanying you all the time and canceled all schedule. Now you're back to China two days earlier."
Wendy answered with an "oh". She pulled her hand but did not pull it out. She had to close her eyes again.
The private plane landed in a separate field at the airport. After getting off the plane, Farr didn't leave with them. He handed the key to Charlie, and the white Land Rover parked on the side of the road.
When the car door was closed, Charlie suddenly asked, "What kind of flower did your mom like?"
"Calla lily..." Wendy answered without thinking.
Then, she frowned lightly and did not understand why he asked the question. Seeing that he had no intention to talk, she didn't say anything thing more.
The Land Rover ran along the airport's highway. From time to time, cars would pass by in the opposite direction. Wendy had just recovered from a low fever, and she had a more than ten hours' flight, so she was very tired. The setting sun shined through the window, she could not help closing her eyes to have a nap.
When she opened her eyes, they were not in the downtown area as she expected.
It was a cemetery in the suburbs, and there was a bunch of calla lily in the back seat. She didn't know when he stopped the car and brought it.
Charlie pulled out the car key and asked, "Where is the tombstone?"
"..." Wendy frowned.
Charlie stretched his one hand and picked up the white calla lily. He squinted at her with his deep eyes and said, "You kept calling your mom when you were in a coma. Now you're here. Go and see her."
After walking for a while on a mountain road, Wendy bit her lips and turned back from time to time.
Almost every time she came to see her mother alone and brought her mum a bunch of calla lily. However, she had never brought a man here.
She hadn't even brought Felix here before.
When they arrived at the tombstone, Wendy took the bunch of white calla lily from his hand and placed it next to her mum's tombstone.
There was a person standing behind her, which made her at a loss.
About ten minutes later, Wendy turned around and said, "We can go back now..."
"OK." Charlie nodded.
Before leaving, he looked back at the young woman's photo on the tombstone and slightly nodded as a greeting.
After they went down along the same mountain road and got into the car, Charlie didn't start the car immediately. Instead, he put one hand on the window and the other on the steering wheel. He swallowed, and it seemed that he wanted to say something.
"I didn't know you had a acrophobia before the skydiving."
The corners of Charlie's mouth gradually tightened, and there was a hint of awkwardness in his voice, "I won't do that again!"
Wendy looked at his side face, and her fingers on her knees curled up.
Did he apologize to her?
However, why was his apology so overbearing...
