"... Car accident?" Wendy widened her eyes.
"Right!" Donna said slowly, "Yesterday he drove back to the city by himself. When he entered the city, he bumped into the green belt! Oh, my BMW, the engine hood was deformed, and both the rearview mirrors and windshield glass were broken! I just came to the4S car shop, and people said that it was troublesome to repair it..."
After listening for a long time, Donna was still talking about the car damage. Wendy was a little anxious and could not help interrupting her. "Auntie, what about Charlie? Is the car accident serious? How is he..."
"Don't worry, he won't die!" Donna only said this sentence.
Wendy wanted to ask more, but Donna just hung up the phone.
After that, she returned to the company and was absent- minded even after she got off work. She waited for a long time at the bus stop. After the bus arrived, she chose to stop a taxi and went straight to her best friend, Emily's, home.
"Emily, can you call Dr. Chin for me?"
"What's wrong?" Emily was a little reluctant to do it. "Why should I call that monster! I don't want to!"
Wendy pursed her lips and had to say, "Charlie seems to have been hospitalized in a car accident. Dr. Chin should be more clear about it. Can you help me ask about the situation..."
Upon hearing this, Emily immediately became serious and took out her mobile phone to make a call.
As soon as the phone was connected, Emily jumped up from the sofa and argued with Simon for a few sentences before returning to the main topic.
After hanging up, Emily told her, "Yes! Simon said that there's a airbag in the car, so Charlie is fine. Except for some minor bruises, he has a slight fracture in the right calf. Nothing more. He's resting in hospital!"
Upon hearing this, Wendy was relieved.
Donna didn't say anything about his injury, but she always stressed that her BMW was damaged so hard, this made her couldn't rest assured. Now that she knew Charlie was fine, she breathed a sigh of relief.
After dinner, Wendy went home by car when it was getting dark.
As soon as she opened the door, her cell phone rang again.
It was a strange number. When she answered the phone, she heard a familiar male voice. "Dr. Chin?"
"Yes, it's me!" Simon said over there, "Miss Lim, can I ask you for a favor?"
"Of course..."
"Can you cook noodles?"
Wendy was stunned. "Well, yes..." "That's right!" Simon seemed to be very happy, as if he had found a savior. "In these two days when Charlie is hospitalized, he almost didn't eat anything. This made the attending physician anxious and looked for me several times! Either the nutritious meals in the hospital or the food bought by his auntie and me from the outside, he didn't eat any of them! At noon, he took the initiative to say that he wanted to eat noodles, but after I bought it back, he only ate a tiny little and didn't eat it again!"
"..." Wendy clenched her mobile phone.
Simon said in an ambiguous tone on the line, "Miss Lim, so I have to trouble you. Could you cook a bowl of noodles for him and see if he can eat it. Otherwise, he can't recover from his illness like this!"
The last sentence hit Wendy's soft spot. She couldn't refuse anymore.
"Okay..." Wendy did not hesitate. "I'm going to cook it now!"
After hanging up the phone, Wendy changed her shoes and went into the kitchen.
An hour later, Wendy entered the ward with a food box.
