Purchased A Mr. Right

Chapter 58

Wendy Lim slung her bag in the front and walked along the road outside the villa.

When she came out of the Lim family, she didn't need to tell anyone, because no one would care if she stayed or left. She didn't think she needed to stay there. Yolanda Lim's words echoed in her ears, which made her feel uneasy.

It would take a long way to get to the bus station.

"Toot-"

The white Land Rover stopped beside her.

The passenger seat's door was pushed open. Charlie Hogg frowned and said unhappily, "You disobeyed me again! I've asked you to wait for me!"

"I just want to get home early." Wendy Lim got into the car.

Charlie Hogg started the car after she fastened her seat belt.

When he turned, he glanced at her from the corner of his eye, "Wendy, someone took away your chair again?"

"No." Wendy Lim shook her head.

"Then why do you look upset?" Charlie Hogg stared at her with narrowed eyes.

Wendy Lim prevaricated, didn't look at him, and put her hand on her lower abdomen, "Er...Maybe because of the period. I felt a little stomachache." When Charlie Hogg heard that, he curled his lips and said, "The period is really annoying."

"Come to my home tonight."

Wendy Lim clenched her fingers and felt a little embarrassed, "If I say I do not want to go. I can't do with you..."

Charlie Hogg looked at her lazily and said, "Can't do? So, just lying next to me to warm the bed!"

"No..." Wendy Lim still shook her head.

Although she knew that her refusal would make him unhappy, she still did it. As expected, his face darkened.

Before he could say more, his phone rang. Charlie Hogg tapped the screen and answered. Farr Chiang said on the phone, "Mr. Hogg, the customers from Beijing arrived one day early. I'll go to the airport to pick them up now and arrange the hotel for them..."

Charlie Hogg frowned and answered, "I see. I'll see you later."

Wendy Lim looked at the red light in the front and said while he was distracted on the phone, "Go for your work, I can take a bus home..."

After that, she pushed the door open and left.

"Wendy Lim!"

She had already left when Charlie Hogg realized.

The signal light turned to green, and the cars hocked horns from behind. Charlie Hogg's eyebrows slightly twitched, and he had to drive the Land Rover straight ahead.

Wendy Lim was afraid of being caught up by him, so she got in a bus randomly when she arrived at the platform and sat at the back.

The neon lights shined through the bus window, and her face was reflected in the window.

Wendy Lim shook her head in annoyance.

Why would she feel unhappy...

On the workday, Wendy Lim went to the hospital after work.

Maybe because grandma had been transferred to a better ward. She looked much better. Unlike before, now she could sleep well at night and be energetic after taking medicines in the daytime.

After dinner, grandma and Wendy talked about some interesting things in Wendy's childhood. Laughter burst into the ward.

Wendy Lim stood up and held the old lady's shoulders. "Grandma, you've been sitting for a long time. I'll put down the pillow, and you'd better lie down!"

Grandma smiled and agreed. She knew that Wendy was a dutiful granddaughter.

Wendy Lim carefully put down the erected pillow, and then helped grandma to lay down. Then, she tucked the corners of the quilt in case that grandma would feel cold.

When she was ready to withdraw her hands, her grandma suddenly called out, "Wendy! You..."

Wendy Lim was puzzled and saw her grandma staring at her with surprise. Following her sight, Wendy Lim was stiff.

Because she bent down, the part below her collarbone exposed. Bruises on her body could be seen. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Wendy Lim prevaricated and didn't know how to explain.

The bruises on her body were caused by Charlie Hogg. That night when she told him that she had a period and could not make love to him, he asked her to use her hands. As a result, her hands were stiff and sore, and he left lots of hickeys on her body. It had been a few days, but her skin was too sensitive that the hickeys were still there.

Currently, it was no longer in the feudal society. A man and a woman could develop their relationship freely.

However...

Grandma took Wendy Linn's hand, paused for a while and said, "Wendy, tell me the truth, are you... doing the same thing as the girl in the Chang family?"

Before she could finish her words, tears welled up in the old lady's eyes.

"Grandma, I'm not!"

Wendy Lim's heart skipped a beat, but she could only deny it.

She remembered the girl in the Chang family. Almost everyone in the village knew her story.

The girl found a job in a city, and she stayed with an old man who was as old as her father. The man was rich, but he already had a wife and two children. People in the village were still making the idle talk about the girl and her parents...

In fact, what Wendy Lim had done now was similar to the girl.

The only difference was that Charlie Hogg didn't get married. Instead, he was an eligible bachelor.

Wendy Lim felt bitter in her mind. Should she be grateful to him?

"If you're not doing that kind of thing, how can you have enough money to pay the operation expenses? Besides, I heard from the nurse that the expenses of this ward were twice as much as a common one! Yolanda and her mother were still controlling the Lim family. How could your father give you so much money?" Grandma shook her head and looked like she didn't believe Wendy's words.

“Wendy, if you're really doing the same thing, I won't blame you! But you need to stop. You'll still have a long way to go..."

"Grandma, please don't cry, I really don't do that!"

Wendy Lim was anxious and felt sorry for her grandma. She wiped the tears off the old lady's face with a piece of tissue. She was afraid that a bad mood would make grandma's condition become worse. In particular, the attending doctor often told her that mood was one essential factor that would affect grandma's health.

She gritted her teeth and blurted out, "I have a boyfriend..."

"Boyfriend?" Grandma was surprised. "...Yes!" Wendy Lim nodded. Since she had already started, she could only continue, "He is definitely not married! He has a high position in the company and comes from a good family. He knows my situation, so he gave me a sum of money to meet an emergency!"

Apart from their relationship, the other words were the truth.

Grandma looked at her for a while, then stopped crying, "How old is he?"

"Thirty..."

"Does he have any siblings?"

"I'm not too sure..."

The more grandma questioned, the less confident Wendy became. She was afraid that grandma might find something wrong, so she lowered her head and said, "Well, we knew each other for about three months, and we have been together for more than two weeks, so I haven't got to know his family..."

"He can help you in such a short time. It shows that he's really good!" Grandma nodded, and then looked at her with a serious look," Wendy, we can't accept his help casually. We must pay back the money in the future!"

"I will." Wendy Lim breathed a sigh of relief.

After comforting her grandma, she relieved and left the hospital.

However, she didn't know if it was because she lied to her grandma, she felt a little guilty when she received Charlie Hogg's call at night.
