Since Ryan learned about this, he decided not to keep it a secret any longer.
"Yes, in addition to being Wendy's friend, I am indeed her psychologist. The last time in the hospital, what I said was a lie. That was not the real reason why she looked for me. The real reason is..." He paused and then slowly continued, "She can't get over the loss of her child."
The loss of her child...
Charlie gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
He repeated the words in his mind, as if his heart was bitten by a tiny bug.
"Four years ago, right after she arrived in Canada, she came to me!" Ryan recalled and said, "When she was seven months pregnant, she fell in the bathroom. When she was sent to the hospital, the doctor said the baby would be born prematurely, and then she was sent to the operating room. But she didn't expect that the baby was not saved in the end!"
"It seems that soon after the baby was born, there was no crying or breathing, and when she saw it, it was already a stillborn baby, so for a long time after that she had nightmares every night, so bad that she couldn't even lead a normal life, and was in constant pain of losing her child, and had to rely on the help of a psychologist!"
As Wendy's psychologist, Ryan had a full understanding of her matters.
"It's been going on for a long time, but it's getting better now, especially lately. I was worried when I knew she was coming back here from a business trip that she might have a flashback, but she doesn't have that nightmare anymore."
Ryan smiled and was very happy for her. "Also, I had thought that she might be resistant to children for the rest of her life, but she and your son are..."
Halfway through his sentence, he abruptly stopped.
He turned to look at Charlie on the opposite side. Charlie's deep eyes were like an ancient well, and he suddenly understood something.
No wonder...
After watching for a few times, Ryan felt that Wendy and Larry were very close, and the picture of them getting along with each other was so warm. Especially when he looked at them from a certain angle or expression, he felt that they were very similar. Now it seemed that it completely confirmed some kind of speculation that he had at some moment!
It was just that Ryan did not understand. If Larry was that child, why would Wendy give birth to a stillborn baby...
Maybe this was the secret of a wealthy family!
Charlie raised his hand and pressed the space between his eyebrows. Under the light, the blue veins on the back of his hand looked shocking.
Ever since Ryan had finished speaking, the look on his face was like a mirror that cracked a little, and the protruding Adam's apple was moving up and down at a very slow speed.
Seeing this, Ryan asked, "Mr. Hogg, are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Charlie stood up from the sofa.
Although his look was as indifferent as ever, his voice was hoarse, like an iron plate blown by sand.
Charlie looked at Ryan and pulled his lips very sincerely. "Thank you."
Then he turned and strode out of the Ye Family, his back disappearing in the rainy night.
Wendy opened her eyes and rolled them.
The sinking sensation on her body was gone, and her limbs were no longer sore, her throat was much better, and she didn't felt that pain when she swallowed saliva.
She seemed to have had that nightmare again last night, only in the dream, there seemed to be a large, dry, warm hand that held her in its grip, and the power came from there, allowing her to come out of the dream!
"Miss Lim, you woke up!"
Suddenly, a shadowy figure came over from the window. It was a nurse in green clothes.
