The dazzling light of the operating lamp was above her head.
She's facing the dazzling light the entire time, feeling as if she would go blind the next second, but still staring that closely.
She didn't know how long it took, but she felt as if all her strength was exhausted. Finally, she vaguely heard the baby crying. It was very light. She tried to listen again, but it suddenly disappeared...
Someone's speaking, and cruel words echoed in her ears, "I'm sorry! We've tried our best. We didn't save the baby!"
No, it's impossible...
She was like crazy, trying to get off the operating table.
However, the foreign doctors wearing masks all came up to hold her shoulders to stop her from going crazy. Then, one of the doctors was holding a tray, and there was a baby covered with blood on it...
Wendy suddenly sat up.
The light through the curtains shone on her pale face, and the real images of the dream still flashed in her head so often that it took a long time for the dilated pupils to finally come into focus and her back was covered with cold sweat.
Looking at the surrounding scenery, she remembered that she was in the hotel at this time.
Wendy lifted the quilt and went straight to the bathroom. She turned on the faucet and put her whole face in the cold water. When the images of the dream disappeared from her mind, she felt like herself again.
She often had nightmares like this in the past four years.
Every time, she would wake up from it and be haunted by it for a long time. Even now, she would occasionally go to a psychologist.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Wendy breathed deeply.
After washing up, she went back to the bedroom. The mobile phone next to the pillow was ringing. She looked at it and found it was a call from her colleague who was in Canada.
"Lim, you've arrived at Ice city, right?"
"Yes, safe and sound."
They continued to talk on the line, "The chief editor asked me to tell you that a character interview may have to be done in advance. It's said that he will go to Japan for a business trip tomorrow night, and probably come back in three months. According to your current local time, you must finish it today, otherwise, you will have to go to Japan!"
"Okay, I know..." Wendy took the note and said.
She came back this time on business. The magazine was going to issue an anniversary edition and needed to interview some financial tycoons. Since she was the only one who came from Ice city in the Branch office in Canada, it was easy for her to negotiate with the headquarters, so the task was handed over to her.
Besides, she hadn't been back for a long time, so she wanted to visit her grandmother.
Wendy ordered breakfast in the hotel. After having breakfast, she packed up and went out of the hotel.
Since she had communicated with the interviewee before, the scheduled interview went smoothly.
After she arrived, she talked to the receptionist first, then took the elevator directly to the upstairs. The interview was going to happen in the office. It was near the sofa by the window, and the natural lighting was perfect for the shot.
It was a long- established private company. The current chairman was in his 60s, and he's the one she's interviewing this time. He was not overbearing at all during the whole conversation and spoke kindly about his business history and his views on the financial industry. Wendy was earnestly typing on the computer, not missing a single word.
At the end of the interview, someone knocked on the door of the office.
The secretary who led Wendy in before nodded respectfully and reported, "Mr. Hsu, Mr. Hogg is here!"
Mr. Hogg...
Wendy's hand on the keyboard were shaking.
There were a few more messy numbers on the screen, and She felt like she had stopped breathing, and her palm began to sweat, and soon, it was all In the whole city, there might be a lot of people surnamed Huo, but there were a few people who were called Mr. Hogg...
She was obviously sitting on the couch, but suddenly she felt a little unsteady on her feet and her calves and stomach felt like they were shaking slightly.
Mr. Hsu seems to have a high regard for Charlie. He immediately told the secretary, "Well, bring him in!"
At the moment Wendy returned to normal breathing, she quickly closed the computer.
Mr. Hsu, who was on the opposite side of the room, was shocked. She touched the stiff corner of her mouth and said, "Mr. Hsu, We're almost done with the interview. Since you have a guest, I'll leave you to it. I'll email your secretary when I've put the interview together!"
Mr. Hsu was slightly surprised. If he remembered correctly, there should be two more questions to go, right?
But he only thought that probably Wendy had gotten enough material she needed, so he did not say anything. He smiled and nodded, "Okay!"
Wendy was packing up her things in a hurry. As she stood up, she noticed that Mr. Hsu had also suddenly stood up from across the room.
She was flattered for a moment, she thought he was going to send her off. When she was about to open her mouth to say no, but the back of her spine suddenly tightened, because she seemed to hear the sound of the door being pushed open again, followed by the steady footsteps.
It was getting closer and closer...
