However, Bailee was getting more and more emotional. Her body twisted.
She was put on a drip. Charlie was worried that the needle would pierce her vessel, so he stepped forward and pressed her waving hand.
Being clasped, Bailee quieted down.
After a moment, she slowly opened her eyes, looking at Charlie and saying softly," I'm a little thirsty..."
"Wait for a moment. I’ll get some water."
Charlie came over with a glass of water.
Before leaving, the doctor said that she couldn't gulp water and that he should
wipe her lips with a wet cotton stab.
Bailee seemed to have fallen under a spell.
She unblinkingly stared at him, saying in a dry and hoarse voice, "You're still worried about me, aren't you?"
"Yes, but just out of politeness," Charlie replied.
"Then let's go back to the beginning, okay?"
Bailee grabbed his hand in tears.
Charlie calmly pulled back his hand.
"That's history. We used to be together, but now I'm married. I can’t be with you anymore!"
"Why? We love each other! We have so many memories! You said you would only marry me! Now I'm back!" she screamed huskily.
"Be sensible.”
