Wendy raised her head and fell into Charlie's deep and serene eyes.
It was as deep as an ancient well, and she smiled sweetly.
In fact, Wendy's guess was correct. Linda had already known who was Wendy's father. Four years ago, when Linda first saw Wendy at Gilbert's birthday at Hogg's Mansion, she was stunned by the similar look on Wendy's face.
Linda had always trusted her instincts, not to mention that there was something about the woman in her husband's heart. Hence, when she saw Wendy again, she inquired about Wendy's family situation from the side, and when she felt that something was not right, she got someone to investigate. However, the results were just as she had expected. Wendy was the daughter of her husband!
She didn't keep it from Madge, so Madge also knew about it. This was one of the reasons why Madge didn't want to let go of Charlie back then.
Linda grabbed the pen but was unable to sign the papers.
Well, the last thing in the world she wanted was for Wendy Lim to carry out the liver donation, she even thought of continuing to wait for a suitable liver source, but she couldn't risk her husband's life. So no matter how reluctant she would be, she had to do it.
The attending doctor did not know much about the inside story, but he had guessed roughly that the pair of mother and daughter of the Gray family would not feel comfortable in the face of the illegitimate daughter that suddenly appeared in front of them, so he advised, "Mrs. Gray, the patient's health can't be delayed any longer, we must operate as soon as possible!"
"Mom... " Madge shouted from the side.
The muscles at the corner of Linda's mouth were as stiff as if they were frozen. In the end, she had no choice but to sign.
"Okay, now we have to wait for the surgery!" The attending doctor let out a sigh of relief.
Wendy stood up and prepared to leave after waiting for the result that she wanted.
Madge just came over to Wendy and looked at her with a complicated look. Madge sighed and said in a very sincere tone, "Miss Lim, I'll leave it to you!"
Wendy frowned.
Before Wendy could say anything, Madge had already looked away from her and stared at Charlie's face, with two dimples and a soft voice, "Charlie, if Miss Lim needs anything, just tell me, will try my best to do it for her!"
She was standing right there, but Madge said that to Charlie.
Wendy felt funny in her heart, but she didn't say anything. She just pulled his hand, which was holding her, and then they walked out of the doctor's office.
After sending her back to her villa, Charlie went back to Hogg's Group to deal with his business affairs and then planned to have dinner at home in the evening and then go over to the hospital.
Because there would be a period of recovery after the surgery, Wendy also had to live in the hospital for a few days, so she needed to pack up some clothes for daily washing. Moreover, if she didn't go home, she had to comfort Larry and let him wait for her at home.
The night fell. In the hospital, Wendy walked to the ICU again and leaned on the glass, looking at Kim inside.
"Charlie, will he get better?"
"Yes, he will!" Charlie put his arm around her shoulder.
If he was still a little unsure before, now with her doing the liver donation, Kim would definitely be fine.
Wendy thought the same way. When she looked up, she saw the frown between his eyebrows. She couldn't help raising her hand and touching it. "Don't
frown ... II
She smiled and said in a comforting tone, "The doctor said during the day that there would be only a part of the liver to be removed. The remaining liver cells will show an amazing ability to proliferate and it will not be a burden for the future birth of a daughter!"
She had deliberately said the last sentence in an attempt to change the subject. Although he did not say anything, he had always been very worried about her, afraid that she would be in danger.
Charlie's face darkened. He snorted coldly and said, "Now is the time to think about that?"
"You don't want to have a daughter?" Wendy winked at him.
Charlie looked at her with a dark face, but he was defeated and said, "Yes, I do."
