Wendy repeated the last words in her heart.
Although she was prepared to face the truth, after all the speculations were confirmed, it was still like a storm for her.
Wendy gently broke free from his arms.
But she couldn't stand steadily. She took two steps forward and bent down to sit on the bed.
She clutched the edge of the bed with both hands, but the mattress was too soft for her to touch. It was like she couldn't grab it, just like what she felt right now.
"I didn't expect him to really be my father ... "
Wendy lowered her head and muttered these words in a low voice.
Charlie looked at her lost appearance and felt a pang of pain in his heart. He walked over and sat down, hugging her on his lap like he was carrying a child. He crossed his arms around her back, making her leaning backward.
Fortunately, the bedroom door was closed. Otherwise, if Larry and Aunt Lee saw them like this, she would be so embarrassed.
Wendy slowly raised her head and looked into Charlie's deep and serene eyes. "Charlie, is he really my father? My biological father?"
"Yes!" Charlie twitched his lips and said in a low and steady voice, "Your blood relationship has reached 99%. He is indeed your father!"
Wendy stopped talking and buried her face in his chest.
When she thought of how close she and Kim had been since they met the first in Ice City, she never thought that Kim would be her biological father. And the first time they met on the plane, they were strangers. If it weren't for fate, they might be strangers for the rest of their lives ...
He called her Miss Lim, while she called him Mr. Gray in a polite way ...
Her eyelashes fluttered, and the end of her eyes was a little damp.
Charlie stroked her back gently and kissed her tears with a frown. "Wendy, do you want to tell him?"
"... " Wendy's entire body stiffened.
She did not answer, nor did she seem to be able to answer.
Charlie didn't push her, but continued to ask, "Do you hate him or not?"
"Hate him?" Wendy's eyes were a little confused. She smiled bitterly and said hoarsely, "Why should I hate him? He doesn't even know my existence, let alone abandoning us. How can I hate him ... "
Kim knew nothing.
He only thought that his beloved woman had abandoned her promise and turned to marry someone else after breaking up. He did not even know Wendy's existence. Let alone hate him, she even did not know how to blame him. Moreover, he had already married and had another daughter ... Thinking of the other daughter of him, she pursed her lips.
Charlie pulled her head out and held it against his forehead. His eyes were deep. "No matter what, you have me."
Wendy sniffed and nodded pitifully like a puppy.
Lover's embrace comforted her. It seemed that even if the sky fell down, there was no need for her to be panic or fear. Although Wendy's eyelids were swollen because of tears when she woke up the next morning, her heart was full.
Wendy didn't allow her eyes to swell up at will. She asked Aunt Lee for some ice cubes, because she had to go out later.
Today she's going to see her best friend Emily off ...
After that, she hit Charlie with her elbow secretly.
Receiving her signal, Charlie took two more steps to the side and took out his phone. This was not his first time to make a phone call, but no one answered. After a while, he came back and shook his head at her helplessly.
After seeing their small action, Emily chuckled and said, "Forget it! Without him, I'm still me. Besides, I am not a leader who goes overseas for inspection, and need a lot of people to see me off! It's enough to have you!"
Although Wendy was also very anxious, there was nothing she could do. If they continued to delay, Emily might miss the plane. She could only sigh and said, "Emily, take care of yourself! Be careful when you go out alone and in a strange country!"
"Don't worry. So do you. I'll call you after I settle down!" Emily hugged Wendy with a smile.
"Yes ... " Wendy nodded.
Because she had left Ice City for another strange city four years ago, she knew how Emily felt. However, she and Charlie were destined to be together, even after four years and many many things. She also hoped that her best friend could be as happy as she was, but she didn't know whether it was the end of Emily and Dr. Chin ...
Emily held her passport and smiled at them. "Wendy, Mr. Hogg, I'm going in. Hope to see you guys again."
In the end, she made a gesture of cupping one hand in the other before her chest.
When she turned around, she couldn't help but look around the airport lobby.
Leaving is a decision she won't change, and it's a choice, but deep down in her heart, she still hoped that Simon could see her off. At the very least, she would be able to see him again once before parting, but ... that was fine!
Emily straightened her back. This time, her feet never stopped.
Watching Emily's lonely figure gradually disappear, Wendy's distressed eyes turned a little red. She could not help but bite her lips and complain, "Why is Dr. Chin so mean?"
