Chapter 256
The Jeep drove down to the hospital.
Wendy lowered her head and unbuckled her seat belt. She had asked the supervisor for a few hours' leave in the morning. Today was the day of the delivery inspection.
Felix looked at her with his head tilted and asked hesitantly, "Wendy, are you sure you want to keep this child?"
"Yes..." Wendy's voice was very light, but very firm.
It seemed that she had already made up her mind on the day she found out she was pregnant, and at the moment when Felix asked if she aborted the baby and she shook her head.
Fler mother had passed away for many years, Grandma's gone too. If she kept this child, then she would not be alone.
Felix sighed and asked unwillingly, "Wendy, it's not easy to be an unmarried mother. You may be under a lot of pressure. The most important thing is that it's hard to raise a child alone. Are you sure you want to do this?"
"I've already thought about it..." Wendy nodded heavily.
"Fine." Felix knew that she had made up her mind and smiled helplessly. "If there is anything you can't handle at that time, you can ask me for help. What can I say, I'm more experienced when Toby is a big boy now?"
"Okay." Wendy squeezed out a smile.
Felix pulled out the car key and opened the car door at the same time as her. However, when he closed the car door, he paused for two seconds and walked over to the car. He looked at her and
said, "Wendy, why don't you go back to the United States with me?"
"..." Wendy looked a little flustered.
"Don't get me wrong!" Seeing this, Felix explained quickly, "I'm not asking you to live in the United States with me, I mean you could go there to get through the pregnancy. And it's almost the end of the year, you can spend the Spring Festival with Toby and me. Grandma's gone, and now you are the only one left here. I'm worried about you! I have a vacant house in LA, it's not huge, but it's nice. There are two parks nearby, which is perfect for you!"
"What's more, you don't intend to stay here all the time, do you? When the baby gets bigger, you won't be able to hide anything about the baby."
The last sentence was to the point and on the thing that Wendy feared most.
She had also thought about this many times. If she wanted to keep the child, she couldn't stay in Ice City anymore. She even wanted to go back to the countryside to delivery the baby. It's just that the environment there was so bad, and she would always think of her grandmother, so it's not good for her condition.
Looking down at her flat lower abdomen, she bit her lip and said, "Okay, I'll think about it..." Felix came over and patted her shoulder to comfort her. Then they went straight into the building.
On the floor of the Obstetrics and Gynecology, Wendy came out of the doctor's office. She had just finished the delivery inspection, and all the development indicators of the fetus were very good. She repeatedly remembered the things told by the doctor, afraid that she would miss something.
After she walked away, a tall and graceful figure stood up from the corner.
"Excuse me, what's wrong with Miss Lim?"
Madge stopped the nurse who was ready to go in. Seeing the nurse frown, she smiled and said, "Sorry, she's my friend. I want to know what's wrong with her. I'm very worried about her!" This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Hearing this, the nurse looked down at the record. "Wendy Lim? She's OK, she's just pregnant!"
Madge was shocked.
She came here to get her mother some sleep medicine, but she didn't expect to see Wendy in the hall, especially when Wendy went to the Obstetrics and Gynecology. She followed Wendy with her heart beating wildly, but she didn't expect...
Madge walked to the elevator with a heavy heart, and her mind was full of the words of the nurse.
Like an ant on a hot pan, she took out her cell phone. After the line was connected, she quickly opened her mouth and said, "Hello, Uncle Hogg..."
Hogg's Group, the president's office on the top floor. Farr stood at the door and knocked on it several times, but there was no sound inside. He dared not stop and continued to knock on it patiently.
After a while, there was finally a sound of "come in" coming from inside.
Farr pushed open the door. As soon as he lifted his leg and stepped in, he almost choked to death. He leaned back for a long time before he recovered.
In the spacious office, the smoke was several times thicker than the mist outside the window. He almost wanted to go back to his office to take the mask. He held his breath and walked to the desk. He narrowed his eyes and recognized the boss sitting on the high-backed chair.
Charlie was wearing a black hand-made suit with a white shirt neckline. He lowered his head. The outline of his tough face could not be seen clearly in the smoke. The cigarette between his fingers
had burned to the end. The next second, it was almost burning to his fingers...
Farr stepped forward respectfully. "Mr. Hogg!"
Charlie didn't raise his head. He just twisted the cigarette in the tank and took out another one.
Farr handed over her mobile phone, which he had been holding in his hand all this while, and said, "Ms. Hogg called me. She said that she called you but no one answered..."
Charlie lit his cigarette again and then reached out to the phone.
"Aunt." His thin lips twitched, and his voice was hoarse because of a long time of smoking. At the other end of the line, Donna's voice came from the other end of the ocean. "Charlie, the general manager of the domestic side told me that Wendy is going to resign! It seems that she is going abroad. Are you going to bring her here? What's going on? What happened to you?"
Because Donna had merged the company where Wendy worked. Before she returned to New York, she had specially told the general manager to take more care of Wendy. After Wendy handed over resignation, the general manager called her to send a message secretly.
Charlie was choked by the smoke.
After the violent cough stopped, he closed his dark eyes and said, "I see."
After saying this, without waiting for Donna's voice to ring again, he cut off the line directly and threw the mobile phone back to the assistant in front of him.
Farr looked at the countless cigarette butts in the ashtray and the empty cigarette box in the trash can. He asked hesitantly, "Mr. Hogg, do you need me to make you a cup of coffee?"
"No, you can leave now." Charlie waved his hand.
Farr nodded respectfully and silently turned to leave.
When he was about to close the door, he couldn't help but look back and was stunned.
Boss, who was sitting in the high- backed chair, lowered his head again. He opened the drawer with his hand holding the cigarette and took out a brown velvet box from it. He touched it gently with his fingertips, and the square small box was opened with a diamond ring lying inside.
Although Farr could not see his boss's expression clearly under the smoke, he could still felt an inexplicable sense of heartache.
Farr remembered that when Boss went to New York to help Donna's company survive the crisis and was ready to return to horn, he accompanied Boss to buy the ring that night. Boss chose for a long time and patiently listened to the shopkeeper's enthusiastically promotion and introduction.
Fie still remembered that when Boss was about to pay the bill, Boss smirked and said to him, "I can't let the girl buy the ring."
