She could never have seen wrongly.
Among so many foreigners, it was easy to recognize Asians. In addition, she could not mistake Simon's beautiful and amorous eyes.
Wendy became more excited than when she knew Emily was alive and called her. "Emily, Dr. Chin is there, isn't he? I'm sure it's him! Are you two together now?"
"Yes, it's him." Emily did not deny it.
"Last night, Charlie kept calling, trying to get in touch with him!" Wendy continued, "Dr. Chin must have known the news of the earthquake at your place and rushed to see you there, am I right?"
Compared to her excited expression, Emily's look was very calm. She shook her head and said in a hoarse voice, "It's not like that. He was just invited to participate in a medical seminar here..."
"Ah, I thought..." Wendy was slightly stunned.
Emily only gave a light smile, shrugged her shoulders, and said, "But he's unlucky to have encountered the earthquake. Fortunately, we narrowly escaped it!"
Wendy nodded slowly, though their relationship did not go as she had expected.
The picture's frozen again. Emily waved to her and said, "Wendy, signal's rubbish. I just called to tell you that I'm fine. Don't worry about me now. Take good care of yourself and your baby at home! Bye."
After the call, Wendy told Charlie not to call Simon, who was with Emily in South African now.
However, when she thought about what Emily had just said, she still felt that it shouldn't be like that. Simon, who had been in Tibet for an aiding mission, would never happen to take a seminar in South Africa! He should have learned the news of the earthquake and traveled thousands of miles to get there...
Wendy sighed softly.
When she got off work in the evening, she went out of the office building and habitually looked up at a specific street corner — sure enough, Charlie's white Land Rover was there.
When Connie also saw it, she shouted in a low voice, "Oh, my God, Mr. Hogg picks you up from work every day! And he is always on time!"
"If you're jealous, you admit you inferior!"
Aside, Bonnie joked.
"Oh, sure! Sister Wendy, you must have saved millions of lives, so you're blessed with such a superb man!" Connie pouted pitifully and then held Wendy's arm to butter up her. "Sister Wendy, I'm still single! Do you still know any other men to introduce to me? I don't ask for a devoted bossy president; any man as good as Mr. Hogg will be good, even if he's merely an ordinary worker!"
"Uh..." Wendy felt embarrassed. After thinking for a long time, she said, "It seems that I don't know anyone who can meet your requirements!"
She didn't have much contact with other men. There was no devoted bossy president, of course, but she did know a decent man as good as Charlie. That was Francis! However, she did not even dare to think about introducing him to Connie, for Tilly would go furious once she knew about it!
When they got in front of the Land- Rover, Charlie was already out of the car.
Wendy always felt gratitude to Bonnie and Connie, who had been watching out and providing cover for them, so she looked at them and asked, "Bonnie, Little Zhao, let us give you a lift."
When they heard her invitation, Bonnie and Little Zhao shook their heads in unison-they had no intention to play gooseberry!
Seeing that they were determined not to be together with them, Wendy did not insist and got into the car with a red face.
Then they drove to pick up Larry from the kindergarten. After that, they did not immediately return to their villa but went to a first-class public hospital instead.
After the car stopped, only Charlie got off it. Wendy and Larry remained in the car, waiting for him.
This hospital was influential in Ice city. It had operated for many years, and hence its main building had been refurbished many times, inside and outside. Besides, a few more outpatient buildings and inpatient buildings were added around its main building.
Wendy had never come back again since she was eight.
