Charlie's face was full of astonishment, but he couldn't let her fall like that.
When she closed her eyes and fell back, he caught her firmly and leaned her on his chest. The rain kept falling and hitting her quivering eyelashes. She was completely unconscious.
"Wendy? Wendy!"
Charlie shouted several times, but he didn't hear any response from her.
When he reached out and touched her cheek, his fingers were burned. The rain was so cold, but she was so hot!
He didn't want to waste any more time, bent over and passed through her armpit and leg, holding her horizontally in his arms.
Realizing that he couldn't drive after drinking, he took her in his arms and ran out of the neighborhood with no intention of stopping, but fortunately, he met an empty car at the gate, and the driver didn't mind that they were covered in rain.
After Charlie carried her in his arms and got into the car, before the door could be closed, he said to the driver in a loud voice, "Sir, we're going to the nearest hospital!"
The driver also noticed that something was wrong, knew there was a patient, and focused on driving without complaining. He stepped on the gas pedal fast and soon stopped in front of the private hospital.
After a burst of chaos, Wendy, who was in a coma, was lying on the hospital bed.
Charlie stepped forward with a frown and asked, "Doctor, how's she doing?"
"She's sick. How can she be caught in the rain?" The doctor was an old woman. She couldn't help reprimanding Charlie like a parent. "She has a fever of 38.9 degrees, and if the fever continues, she will have to suffer from pneumonia! You young people nowadays are really joking about your bodies! If there is any conflict, can't you talk it out?"
Charlie frowned.
It is true that he was negligent. He was very drunk at that moment and was full of resentment and anger, and the light inside the car was dim, he did not notice that she's not right. Actually, when she answered the phone, her voice was already hoarse.
The doctor saw that Charlie didn't say anything and humbly accepted whatever she said, no longer saying more, she comforted, "Don't worry! I just gave her a shot to reduce her fever, and now I'm giving her a bag of anti-inflammatory and glucose, stay overnight for observation until her fever subsides tomorrow!"
"Okay!" Charlie nodded.
"I'm here, you go pay the medical bills first!" The doctor said kindly.
Charlie thanked her and went to the window to pay the bill. There were not many people in the emergency room at this time, so the doctor didn't leave until he came back.
An infusion stand stood next to the bed, and a syringe hung down into the blue veins on the back of Wendy's hand. She closed her eyes, and her eyes were closed, her face was pale against her hospital gown, but her cheekbones were red from the fever.
It was very quiet in the room, only the sound of the medicinal liquid dripping quietly.
Charlie leaned over and sat next to her, the astonishment in his eyes had not yet faded completely.
The blood all over his body had been flowing backward the entire time. Just as he was slowly closing his eyes, his right hand was suddenly grabbed by someone.
Charlie opened his eyes and saw Wendy lying on the hospital bed. She seemed to have had a nightmare. Her head shook gently in the pillow, and her chest heaved up and down with a painful expression.
"My child, I beg of you, I want to see my child..."
"No, my child..."
Charlie leaned over and heard her talk in her sleep without missing anything.
