In the crowd, Charlie was still wearing a black handmade suit, setting off his tall and strong figure. Even though the surrounding area was noisy, he was always so eye-catching.
With one hand in his pocket, he walked straight toward her.
He didn't look like he was going on a business trip, he seemed to have a leisurely pace and was carrying something in his right hand, which looked like a file bag from a distance.
Wendy, who had just sat down, stood up again in surprise.
"Mr. Hogg!" Ryan, who was beside Wendy, had already spoken up for her.
"Mm." Charlie nodded his head.
Wendy clenched her passport and boarding pass and asked, "Charlie, what... what are you doing here?"
"I'll see you off." Charlie looked languid.
"..." Wendy frowned.
She had just gone through the security checkpoint. The people who were seeing the plane off were not allowed to come in, like Simon who just showed up with a boarding pass in his pocket and obviously bought a ticket at the last minute, but in order to keep Emily and their child from leaving, it's understandable. Charlie raised his eyebrows and said, "By the way, I have something for you."
"What's that?" Wendy looked confused.
Charlie raised his hand and handed her the cowhide file bag.
"..." Wendy took it with a puzzled look on her face.
It was a little heavy, as if it was filled with a lot of papers.
"You read this first, and I'll go to the bathroom for a cigarette." Charlie said, then turned around and walked towards the bathroom.
Wendy looked at his back and then looked down at the file bag in her hand.
Wendy didn't know what Charlie meant, she looked a little hesitant, and didn't know whether to open it or not, inexplicably, her heartbeat was very fast, as if what was inside must not be ordinary paper.
Ryan pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose. He hesitated for a long time before finally opening his mouth. "Wendy, you'd better take a look. Maybe it's something important."
"Okay..." Wendy nodded when she heard this.
She pulled the white thin string, looping it around to undo the twisted clasp, and pull out the file inside.
When she saw the "Paternity Test", she was so shocked. When she turned to the last page and saw that the possibility of she and Larry being mother and son reached 99%, she was completely shocked with a "bang" in her head.
She watched it over and over again, like Charlie did at that time.
Wendy's fingertips began to tremble, as if she couldn't hear or see anything.
What the hell was going on...
She had given birth to a stillborn baby, and the doctor had it in front of her, and she had touched and held it!
How could Larry...
In the men's restroom, Charlie smoked a cigarette, but did not rush out, but poured out a second one from the cigarette case, and after flicking the lighter and lighting it, he held it in his mouth and smoked it slowly and methodically, spitting out a smoke ring with each deep exhale.
It was not until the ashes fell down that he put out the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can.
