An old man in a black Tai Ji suit, with silver hair at the temples, came in. Although he was on a crutch, his pace was tough.
"Chase?"
When Wendy saw the person clearly, she widened her eyes.
Then she saw the handsome man behind Chase and asked in surprise, "Francis?"
The person who came was the grandfather and grandson of the Wallace family from Hong Kong. Chase walked at the front and laughed very heartily. "Haha, little girl, we meet again!"
"Why are you ... " Wendy was stunned.
Chase walked to the front of the hospital bed with a crutch. His grandson Francis, who was following him, explained, "Grandfather and I just flew here from Hong Kong. He meant to treat you to dinner but heard that you were hospitalized for surgery, so we came here directly!"
Wendy could tell that the two of them just traveled here not long before. At the same time, she was shocked by Chase's ability to probe for messages.
Charlie had already stood up from his chair and shook hands with the grandfather and grandson respectively. The difference was that he shook hands with Francis for a relatively long time, and there was a gleam of envy hidden deep in Francis's eyes.
Since Chase was an elder, Charlie said with respect, "Chase, please take a seat!"
Chase nodded at Charlie and walked towards the couch by the window.
There was no tea in the hospital, so the only thing that could be done was to serve two cups of water.
Chase didn't mind at all. After taking a sip, he looked at Charlie, who was sitting next to him, and said, "Mr. Hogg, you really have a good eye for women!"
"Thank you, Chase!" Charlie curled his lips.
Although perhaps Chase mainly praised Wendy, Charlie could not hide a few smug looks between his eyebrows.
However, Chase waved his hand and raised his eyebrows. He suddenly said, "You're welcome! really like this little girl. I like her so much that I want her to be my granddaughter-in-law!"
"Puff ... "
Wendy, who was finished drinking the last mouthful of soup in her bowl, spat it out.
Realizing that she was being rude, she wiped her hands hurriedly. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Chase, stop joking!"
"Haha!" Chase guffawed as he slapped his thigh.
Wendy noticed that Charlie's face had turned black.
She put the soup bowl aside and took the initiative to ease the atmosphere. "Chase, how long will you stay here?" "It's hard to say! In addition to our work with Hogg's Group, we'll be staying here for a while longer!"
"Oh, I see ... "
Chase picked up the crutch next to him and got up and said, "It's getting late today. We just got off the plane and I also want to find a hotel to have a good rest. Little girl, you should rest in the hospital first, and I'll come to see you another time!"
"Chase, Francis, please take care!" She said hurriedly.
The grandfather and grandson came and went in a hurry. Wendy had just gone through the surgery and couldn't get out of bed, so it was Charlie who sent them out.
In the evening, after the doctor checked her condition, there was only one bedside lamp left.
Wendy felt that she and Charlie seemed to have some kind of connection with the hospital. The last time when he lay in the hospital with wounds all over his body, she was taking care of him, and now it was the opposite.
After Charlie took off his suit jacket, the cuffs of his shirt were rolled up to the elbow. Under the orange light, his bronze skin looked even more charming. He was afraid of squeezing her, his sturdy body only rested sideways on the edge of the hospital bed.
Seeing her bright eyes looking at the ceiling, he touched the end of her eyes with his finger and said, "Aren't you sleepy?"
"Maybe it's because I slept too much during the day." Wendy laughed. 1-)
"Then sleep when you're sleepy." Charlie said, pursing his lips.
Wendy nodded and looked up at the ceiling again. Thinking of the guests in the ward today, she couldn't help but murmur, "Chase is really a weird old man!"
She had only met Chase twice, and it was also about Charlie. She did not think that they would have any other interactions and didn't expect that she would be the first person Chase wanted to meet after he came to Ice City from Hong Kong, and even came to the hospital in person ...
She felt flattered and surprised about this.
Charlie's eyes narrowed. "You're still thinking about being his granddaughter-in-law?"
