Upon hearing the voice, Wendy saw Madge coming in a hurry.
Because Madge was wearing high heels, she looked a little higher than usual. She ran to Kim and said, "Dad!"
"Madge? Why are you here too?" Kim was a little surprised to see his daughter.
"Dad, how could I not come? You said on the phone that Charlie was in the hospital, so I immediately drove over from home!" Madge quickly replied.
In fact, it was Linda who saw her husband going out in the evening and never coming back, so she called him again and again. On the last call that night, Kim just arrived at the hospital, in case his wife continued to suspect him, so he said that he could not leave the hospital because Charlie's there. Madge, who was next to Linda, heard it clearly.
Madge turned to look at Wendy and asked, "Why are you here?"
Wendy frowned slightly.
Madge's words were with a surprised tone, in fact, it's very normal, but somehow she felt as if it was not that simple, because the way Madge looked at her made her feel that Madge thought she was not supposed to be here at this time...
Wendy did not think about it deeply, because all she could think about was Charlie's safety. Kim knew that the relationship between the two girls was sensitive, so he took his daughter to Gilbert's side, "Go comfort Uncle Hogg!"
Madge was almost pushed over by her father. Without saying anything, she just sat on the chair.
"Madge, good girl, you're here too." Gilbert opened his eyes and said with a sigh.
"Uncle Hogg, Charlie will be fine. Don't worry!" Madge said softly.
"Hum!" Gilbert nodded his head.
Wendy, however, did not care about it at all, she crossed her hands and clasped them together, praying silently.
Finally, the door of the operating room opened.
As soon as the attending doctor came out from the room, he was surrounded by them.
"Doctor, how is it going?"
The attending doctor raised his hand slightly, removed his mask, smiled and said, "Don't worry, the operation was successful and now the patient doesn't have any life-threatening condition! But for safety's sake, he'll be sent to the ICU for observation overnight, and then transferred to a regular ward tomorrow!"
"Thank you, thank you, doctor!" It seemed that this was the only word that could be said at this time.
Soon, the nurse pushed Charlie out of the operating room.
His face was pale, and so were his thin lips, although his body was strong, he looked weak. He seemed to come to his senses for a while, his sunken deep eyes half open and half closed, there's a dim light flashed through his eyes.
"Charlie!"
Gilbert was supported by Ella and Madge on the left and right, and they quickly stepped forward.
Charlie didn't look at them. Through the cracks between them, he looked at Wendy all the time, and then slowly raised his arm.
He obviously frowned. It must hurt a lot.
Wendy's line of sight was hazy, but she strode over and grabbed Charlie's hand. Seeing his Adam's apple rolling up and down, Wendy knew what he was going to say. Tears fell from her eyes and she sobbed, "Charlie, I'm fine. I'm not afraid..."
Such a scene made everyone around them seem like an automatic background.
They looked at each other as if no one was watching them. No one came forward to stop them, because both she and Charlie were holding each other's hands tightly.
In other people's sights, Wendy followed Charlie into the ICU.
