Chapter 222
"Take care of yourself. I've got something else to do."
After saying this, Charlie turned around and left.
Gilbert wanted to stop him, but he walked very fast and left the ward in a flash. It seemed that he was not here to visit someone but to finish a task and leave immediately after he finished.
Charlie was making it obvious, even Gilbert could see that, not to mention Madge and her mother.
Linda wasn't too pleased, "Brother Hogg, Charlie is a bit much, isn't he?"
"Yes, I'll talk with him!" Gilbert said with a serious expression.
"Uncle Hogg, don't blame Charlie. It's my fault!" Madge said and couldn't help sobbing, "It's just I'm too sad. He told me that he can't marry me, so I'm sorry... Uncle Hogg, you know, we have been engaged for so many years, and my parents are also very fond of Charlie. I've been waiting to marry him!"
Seeing the girl in a hospital gown with a needle on the back of her hand and being so kind and sensible, Gilbert couldn't help but feel guilty. He sighed and said, "Madge, don't worry. No matter what Charlie said, I'm on your side! You're also my favorite daughter-in-law. You can rest assured that your marriage won't change!" "Uncle Hogg, thank you!" Madge shed tears.
"Well, silly child, don't cry!" Gilbert handed over a handkerchief.
Madge thanked him in a hurry. After taking the handkerchief, she wiped her tears little by little and squeezed a smile.
"Linda, does Brother Lu know about this?" Gilbert looked at Linda.
It seemed that Linda loved her husband very much. Her face softened a little. "He spent most of his time in German in the past two years. The project there is at the most critical moment. I couldn't explain this over the phone. I'm afraid that he will worry about her if I tell him!"
"Well, I also suggest waiting until Madge recovers." Gilbert nodded approvingly as the phone rang, as if there was something else that he couldn't stay longer. Albert looked at Madge again and said in a very gentle tone, "Take good care of yourself. I will come back tomorrow. If you want to eat anything, just say it. I'll ask my cook to do it!"
Madge nodded gratefully.
"Brother Hogg, I'll walk you out!" Linda stood up.
After sending Gilbert out of the ward, Linda came back. Seeing her daughter in a much better mood, Linda rambled a few words, "Madge, You scared me this time. I barely slept all night! Luckily I found you just in time to save you from hell, or else I would have cried my eyes out!"
"Mom, do you really think I'm that stupid?" Madge took Linda's hand. "I only took half a bottle, and I've timed it perfectly. Didn't you tell the maid to send me a bowl of lotus seed soup at 8 o'clock every night?"
Upon hearing this, Linda immediately understood and breathed a sigh of relief.
After a pause, she said to her daughter, "However, you've seen it just now. I'm afraid that Charlie may not fall for your trick!"
"Well." Madge nodded, and her expression was a little stiff.
Looking down at the needle on the back of her hand, she chuckled and said, "Mom, it doesn't matter whether he will fall for it or not! I committed suicide not only to show it to Charlie, but also to Uncle Hogg to let him know that I did it because of his son!"
Linda nodded and smiled meaningfully. She went forward to hold Madge and still said worriedly, "Then you can't do such a thing in the future. You're my only daughter. Do you hear me?"
"Mom, don't worry, I won't do it again!" Madge snuggled up to her and promised with a smile.
Of course, what had been done would not be done again. She was aware of the fact that things can backfire.
When Wendy got back in the car, Charlie had already come out of the building.
She took a look at her watch. It seemed that it was only more than ten minutes. Although he said that he would come down soon when he left, she didn't expect him to be so fast. "You come down so soon?"
Charlie did not answer. Instead, he frowned and shouted, "Where did you go?"
"I'm boring. I just went to the garden." Wendy leaned over and pointed to the direction of the garden.
"Your nose is freezing red!" Charlie frowned even deeper.
"Is that so..." Wendy couldn't help touching her nose. She couldn't see it, but it was cold on it.
Charlie took the car key from her hand and noticed that her hands were also cold. He said, "Get in the car!"
After stuffing her into the car, he took a detour to the driver's seat and sat in.
Since it's the weekend, there's nothing scheduled. The two of them went to the nearby cinema and watched the latest movie. It was already evening when they came out.
"What do you want for dinner?"
Wendy took a look at the sunset. Thinking that she only cooked two bowls of noodles for lunch, she couldn't help saying, "It's still early. Let's go to the supermarket and cook together at home. When we were in Lim City last time, you said you wanted to eat egg fried rice I cooked for your aunt. Then I forgot to make it for you..."
"Egg fried rice?" Charlie raised his eyebrows. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Wendy blushed and corrected him. "It's not what you think, I mean the real egg fried rice!"
There was a supermarket chain under the ground. They didn't go out of the building but took the ladder directly.
It was not very big, but it's well-stocked. There were not many people. They spun around, the shopping cart was full of stuff. When they went to the cashier, Wendy thought of something and said hesitantly, "Charlie, it seems that you still need to buy something..."
"What?" Charlie squinted.
"Well, that thing..." There was a trace of shyness on Wendy's face.
"Which thing?" Charlie asked knowingly.
"..." Wendy blushed.
She was referring to condoms. This morning, he had run out of the last one, and she was sure that he knew what she meant.
Seeing that her ears were red, Charlie stopped teasing her and held her in his arms. "Let's go pick it together."
Did they still have to pick condoms?
Wendy was not about to satisfy his evil taste. She pushed the shopping cart, keeping a few paces away to wait for him.
Charlie stood in front of the shelves with a very focused expression, which was the same as his usual face at work. It seemed that he was not selecting something on the shelves, but to review important documents. He didn't find it the least bit degrading.
Finally, when he finished picking, Wendy watched him throw a few small red and pink boxes in the shopping cart.
Before she could push the shopping cart away, Charlie suddenly took it out again.
Then, he put them back on the spot one by one.
"Er..." Wendy looked puzzled. He had obviously chosen for a long time as if he was choosing a beauty. "Charlie, what's wrong?"
Charlie looked at her with his deep eyes and said, "I don't want to use it anymore."
"..." Wendy blinked in confusion.
What did it mean?
When she understood the meaning of these words, her heart suddenly beat fast.
