By the time Wendy woke up again, it was already dark outside.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she heard the quiet voice almost at the same time.
"Wendy, you're awake!"
Wendy raised her eyes and saw Charlie who was sitting in front of her.
It had only been more than ten hours, but he looked even more haggard than she did when she was in surgery. It seemed that he had been staring at her for too long. There was a faint trace of red blood on the white part of his eyes, and the voice he just spoke was hoarse.
What Wendy didn't know was that the surgery was completed at noon. For the few hours she didn't wake up, all the nerves of Charlie were tense. Almost every half hour, he would frown and ask the attending doctor why she hadn't woken up yet.
In the end, the attending doctor was on the verge of breaking down and swore to Charlie, "Mr. Hogg, I promise you that Miss Lim will wake up!"
"The surgery ... " Wendy opened her mouth weakly.
Charlie took her hand and told her what she wanted to know. "The surgery is successful, and Uncle Gray is also very good! He has been sent back to ICU. The doctor said that he can be moved to the general ward after 48 hours of observation!" Wendy heard him and heaved a sigh of relief.
As soon as she rested her elbow on the bed, Charlie stretched out his hand and helped her sit up on the raised pillow.
"Wait, I'll call the doctor!"
"All right."
Soon, the attending doctor in a white gown followed Charlie into the ward.
After a series of physical examinations, the attending doctor said that her physical condition was very good, and she just needed to stay in hospital for rest and observation.
There were two nurses who came in at the same time, coincidentally the same two from before. When they left, they often turned back and cast ambiguous looks at Wendy and Charlie. Wendy was very embarrassed. It seemed that they had not forgotten the kiss at the door of the operating room!
After the door to the ward was closed, Wendy dared to lift her head.
Her eyes fell on Charlie's eyebrows, which had been twisted all the time. It was almost the same as the time when she didn't have surgery last night.
Wendy gently hooked Charlie's pinky with her pinky. "Charlie, why are you still pulling a long face? The doctor said it's all right. We'll be able to go home after staying in the hospital for a few days! And, this is the second time I'm on the operating table. I'm experienced!"
Charlie's thin lips twitched slightly, and he was amused by her description.
"It's true!" Wendy was afraid that he was still worried. She continued, "This time, after being pushed in by the nurse, it went straight to general anesthesia. I didn't know anything, and I didn't feel anything during the whole process. It just finished after I woke up! It's not like the first time in Los Angeles when I was in premature labor, I was in pain and scared to death, surrounded by strange foreign doctors and nurses, I felt like my breath was being taken away from me, as if I was going to die in the next second ... "
It was the first time she had mentioned it in front of him after four years.
Although it had been a long time, she still felt scared when she thought about it. It was the first time that she was pregnant, the first time that she experienced delivery, and the first time that she understood what it felt like for every bone crack in her body was loosening ...
Charlie's pupils contracted slightly, and he suddenly said, "Wendy, let's have another child, a daughter!"
Wendy blinked her eyes and looked at him in confusion.
Because he had already made his mind clear on this matter, and in fact, he had been working hard in this aspect. He even got to the point that there was a monk who said that he would have a son and a daughter in his life.
