Chuck Cannon had a sweet dream. He dreamed that he was with Willa Logan but they didn't do anything. It seemed that he couldn't move, so Willa just took care of him gently.
Chuck felt that this dream was too sweet so he didn't want to wake up.
When he finally opened his eyes, he saw Willa sitting on the sofa, reading a French book. He was surprised. What happened? Why was he here?
Chuck was too embarrassed to face Willa because of his dream.
"Auntie Logan." Chuck whispered. His head was throbbing. What was going on? And there was even a wound on his hand. Was he beaten?
"Chucky, are you awake?" Willa raised her head and walked over from the sofa with concern.
"Auntie Logan, what's going on? Why was I sleeping? Weren't we going for a walk?" Chuck really couldn't remember anything. He only remembered that after he met Lara Jean and Charlotte Yates, he came to find Willa and was ready to take her to have a look around. But why did he fall asleep?
"Yes, you fell down and passed out, so I brought you here." Willa smiled. She saw that Chuck's eyes were haggard but not red, which meant that all the effects of the drugs were gone.
Willa was relieved, hoping that the drug would not have much effect on Chuck's body this time.
Chuck was embarrassed. Did he really trip? It was a common occurrence to fall down in scenic spots like this place. But Chuck couldn't believe that he fainted. What bad luck!
"I'm sorry, Auntie Logan. I was going to show you around, but I didn't expect that..." Chuck felt guilty in his heart. It was already seven or eight o'clock in the evening. How could he still take Willa out for a walk?
"It's okay. Is your head still hurting?" Willa reached out and pressed Chuck's forehead. Her hand was really soft.
Chuck's heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of his chest. Willa was too gentle. He shook his head and said, "Auntie Logan, it doesn't hurt anymore."
"That's good, Chucky, are you hungry?" Willa withdrew her hand. Chuck's forehead was not hot, so he had almost recovered.
Chuck touched his stomach and felt very hungry, as if he had been training for the whole afternoon. He still felt exhausted.
"A little bit."
"Then let's go for dinner."
"Okay." Chuck got up from the bed, but his body was still weak. He stood up and sat down on the bed again. Willa hurriedly came over to hold Chuck. "Chucky, wait in the room. I'll go out and pack some food for you."
"Thank you, Auntie Logan." Chuck was embarrassed.
"Good boy, lie down and wait for me. I will come back soon." Willa shook her head with a smile, stood up and went out. Chuck was lying on the bed, feeling faint. Did Willa take care of him this whole time? Chuck felt happy.
Soon, Willa was back with some takeouts. Chuck ate it, but he still felt weak. Willa said, "Don't worry. You can sleep here today. Take a good rest. I'm staying next door, call me if you need anything."
Chuck was hesitant. Why was he so tired? Did he just sleep earlier? He was helpless. Could it be that he had exercised too much recently? That shouldn't be the case though...
Chuck didn't think too much. He didn't expect that he was drugged. Even though he was a man, he didn't think about this possibility at all.
"Okay." Chuck nodded with hesitation. After all, he was too weak to do anything and he felt like he was going to collapse at anytime.
"Then I'll be next door. Call me if you need anything. Just sleep. It's okay." Willa smiled and went out.
Chuck had no choice but to call Yvette Jordan and tell her that he would not go back today.
It was true that he couldn't go back to such a situation. He hung up the phone, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep in a daze. He was too tired.
Willa's ears were close to the door as she listened to Chuck's movements. His breathing was even. He had fallen asleep. Everything was fine now.
Willa breathed a sigh of relief and went back to her room.
......
Yvette was disappointed. Was Chuck angry because she brought Susan Sun back, therefore he didn't want to come home today?
However, Susan was of great help to her. How could she stand aside and do nothing when Susan was facing a dilemma?
Yvette could not do that.
