After that, Nico left like a gust of wind.
Wendy opened her mouth and once again looked down at the tonic soup in the thermal lunchbox, still stunned. She swallowed her saliva, looked up at Charlie, and said, "Well ... "
"It's probably Aunt's idea."
Charlie frowned and continued, "I got a call from my aunt yesterday. She just flew back to New York and heard the nurse's voice on my side. I told her that you're in the hospital, but I didn't tell her the details. I just said that you're not feeling well a little."
He didn't mention a word about the transplantation, it's her privacy after all.
Wendy nodded and understood. Holding the tonic soup filled in the thermal lunchbox, she couldn't help asking, "Well, Chairman Hogg, is he... trying to be friendly to me?"
Hearing this, Charlie raised his eyebrows and snorted again.
Wendy poured out a bowl of soup and held it with both hands to her mouth. It seemed to be stewed with beef bones and have a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine. Just when she was pouring the soup, she saw that there were more than ten kinds of herbs put inside the lunchbox.
After drinking a few mouthfuls in a row, she gave a fair evaluation. "Well, it's not bad!" It was noon, and the hospital's nutrition meals had not arrived yet. Her stomach was empty, so she could drink the tonic soup to fill it up.
Ten minutes later, Wendy saw that there was still a lot of soup left in the lunchbox. She shook her head and put the bowl down, holding her slightly bulging belly, and said, "No, I really can't drink anymore ... "
She remembered that the driver had especially come back to tell them that there should not be anything left inside!
But there was too much ...
"Then pour it away!" Charlie stepped forward.
" ... Don't!" Wendy still stopped Charlie. It's not easy for Gilbert to send her this tonic soup, she couldn't just waste his good intentions. Besides, the herbs in the soup were also quite precious. It would be a pity to pour them away.
She poured a full bowl for Charlie and handed it to him. "Charlie, you drink the rest of it!"
In the end, Charlie drank the remaining half of the soup in the thermal lunchbox, and both of their stomachs were filled with soup before lunch.
When Charlie screwed the lid, he couldn't stop himself from hiccuping.
Now there was nothing left inside the lunch box. When Wendy thought about how Gilbert had sent his driver to deliver the soup and the message, an old and unsmiling face appeared in front of her. She laughed and said, "I suddenly feel that your father is actually quite cute!"
Cute? Charlie's lips twitched, but he didn't think so. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Did you forget how he bullied you? And the bad things he had done to you!"
"Nope!" Wendy shook her head without hesitation and curled her lips. "He used to throw me a check and took Larry from me for four whole years!"
"Well, guess you remembered!" Charlie curled his lips.
"Hey!" Wendy shouted in a low voice.
In the evening, Charlie lay on the bed with her in his arms like every night. Although the bed was very small, the two of them enjoyed the closeness at this moment.
Wendy gently turned over and stared at the ceiling.
"Are you still thinking about your mother and Uncle Gray?" After noticing it, Charlie lowered his head and asked.
Wendy shook her head, then nodded her head and laid her hand on his chest. She looked up at him and said, "There's something I don't understand ... "
