Purchased A Mr. Right novel Chapter 49

Early in the weekend morning, Wendy Lim brought some fruits to the hospital to see her grandma.

She could talk with her grandma and didn't need to worry about any part- time jobs. She was really happy although the cost was her body.

Her phone rang and it was Charlie Hogg. Wendy Lim walked to the window and answered.

"Hello?"

"Why do you take so long to answer the phone?"

Charlie Hogg had waited for a while, and said impatiently, "Come to my house early tonight."

"Oh..." Wendy Lim bit her lips.

She had slept with him last night, and they jounced the bed until very late. When she got up in the morning, she felt that her waist couldn't almost support her upper body.

He wanted her again tonight... He was really a man full of stamina and energy!

Charlie Hogg said in an aggressive tone, "Half-past six. Don't be late!"

Wendy Lim subconsciously stood straight and said, "Yes!"

Her behaviors were a little exaggerated. Her grandma who was laying on the bed looked at her. Then, she hung up in a hurry.

Unexpectedly, her phone rang again in the next second.

It was Charlie Hogg again. She didn't dare to decline, so she had to put the phone on her ear.

"You are not allowed to hang up my phone call!"

Then, the line went dead, leaving "beep..." on the line.

Wendy Lim looked at the phone's screen and twitched her mouth."..."

She walked back to the bed, picked up fruits from a tray, and asked her grandma with a smile, "Grandma, would you like another pear?"

"No, thanks. I can't eat anymore!" Her grandma smiled and stroked her belly. She reached out one hand to hold Wendy Lim's hand and continued, "Wendy, don't forget to buy your mom a bunch of calla lilies today!"

Wendy Lim was shocked, but she managed to remain calm.

She was so upset that she almost forgot that today was her mother's memorial day!

"Okay! I'll go when you finish your lunch!"

After taking two-hour bus, Wendy Lim arrived at the cemetery.

The cemetery located in the underpopulated suburbs. After getting off the bus, she walked on a rugged path, and carefully protected the calla lilies in her arms. Calla lily was his mother's favorite flower.

Like houses, the cemetery was divided into ranks. Helen Lee miscarried because of her at that time, and her father also blamed her fault to her mother. So her mother's tombstone was put in the corner, and the funeral was held hastily.

The photo on the tombstone was taken at her mother's young age. Her eyes and brows did looked like Wendy Lim's.

Wendy Lim's mother was a beauty all the time. People on the street might stop and look at her when she walked on the street. When Wendy Lim was a child, if she heard someone said she looked like her mother, she would be happy for a long time.

Wendy Lim put down the calla lilies and stroked the edge of the photo, "Mom, I'm here to see you."

"Mom, I'll take good care of grandma. I'm fine..."

When she spoke out the last two words, she hugged her knees and sat next to the tombstone.

Gradually, her eyes became moist.

On this day every year, she would be very sad. All the memories of her mother emerged before her eyes, including her mother jumped from the building...

Wind dried the tears on her face and she felt a little tickled.

Wendy Lim stood up and slowly walked down the mountain. She was still in a bad mood. When she got on the bus, she remembered the call from Charlie Hogg in the morning.

It was almost nine o'clock when she arrived at the gate of the housing estate.

Coming out of the elevator, Wendy Lim's heart rate increased. She only turned the key for half a circle and the door opened.
