Chuck left.
Willa was left alone in the ward. It was only when Chuck's car was gone from her sight that she sighed.
The moment when Chuck went out, she felt great unwillingness for him to leave her to the point that she almost cried. She had never felt this way, but this time she was exceptionally upset.
In fact, she wanted to say something to Chuck when he left just now, but she was not able to.
Willa was too thoughtful. She kept everything to herself.
She felt disappointed, the silence in the ward even more jarring than before. She couldn't seem to calm down despite the peaceful atmosphere in the room. At this moment, Willa received a call. She answered it and said, "Cheryl Champ is downstairs? She wants to meet Chucky? Ask her to come up."
A while later, Cheryl knocked on the door and entered the room. She was here to tell Chuck that after contemplating for several days, she decided she wanted to work for him or do something for him.
Otherwise, she would never be at ease.
"Hello, President Logan. Is Mr. Cannon... around?" Cheryl asked softly.
Her courage and confidence had crumbled in the face of Willa.
After all, the almighty Chuck who had almost turned the Champ family into rubble had full respect for Willa.
"Chucky went back," Willa was quite upset as she badly wanted to go to the United States with him.
"What? He's not here?" Cheryl was shocked. Why did he go back so soon?
"Yes, he just left."
"Thank you. In that case, I'll leave first," Cheryl bowed and turned around, preparing to leave. If Chuck was not here, her business here was done.
"Hold on."
"Is there anything else, President Logan?"
Willa walked over and said straightforwardly, "It's not that I don't like you, but I don't want you to keep in touch with Chucky. You are well-aware of your current situation, so don't look for him anymore. If anything happens, you can either solve it on your own or seek help from me."
Cheryl was unhappy. What Willa was trying to say was that she doesn't want Cheryl to curse and affect Chuck's future. However, she never slept with him, so there was no way she would affect him anyhow.
Willa felt slightly sorry for her and quickly clarified, "I'm sorry if I sound harsh, but this is how I'm like."
As a woman, she sympathized with Cheryl. However, she wouldn't want to risk it if Chuck was involved. '"It's okay," Cheryl walked out in a bad mood. Willa did not stop her as she was also feeling down. She gazed outside the window, her thoughts wandering elsewhere...
Cheryl drove away in frustration. She couldn't believe that she actually came all the way to the hospital just to meet Chuck. Right then, her phone rang. It was a call from her daughter.
"Hello."
"Mom, are you with Uncle? You two are at a date, right?"
Her daughter asked innocently. This morning, Cheryl had dressed up nicely and even put on some makeup. It had to be a date!
"Nope, he's gone home," Cheryl was actually serious about treating Chuck to lunch.
However, he had gone back. It wasn't like she could go to Hotel Luna to find him.
"Home? Mom, you should go to his house to look for him."
"I won't go, I can't go, someone said that I..." Cheryl was sorrowful.
Even a conversation with her daughter made her burst into tears. She had become so much of a crybaby recently, something she would've never done in the past. Was it because of Chuck?
Did she really fall for Chuck?
Cheryl was stunned. It couldn't be, right?
Lara sat on the chair. She had been in Central City for quite some time, but Chuck never took the initiative to contact her. She couldn't bear the loneliness and called Chuck to ask where he was. It was only then that she found out he was at the airport. Was he going back?
Why didn't he call her to ask about her?
Lara was depressed over the fact that she did not own a place in Chuck's heart. If not, he would have notified her before going back!
She eventually decided to go back as well. After all, she had basically completed her work here. It would also be good for her to go back to school.
Lara couldn't wait and went back to her place to pack up. She would go back to Ocean City and look for Chuck as most likely he would be at the plaza.
