Chapter 40


    Wendy Lim was in a trance.


    This was the third time he asked her, and he reminded her that she shouldn’t let him ask again.


    "I''ll give you what I promised if you agree." Charlie Hogg raised his hand and twined the hair


    hanging down from her ear around his fingers, "You need to know, there are so many girls, who are


    younger or more beautiful than you, would like to crawl to my bed. Be clever."


    When he was about to finish, he stroked her face with his fingers.


    Wendy Lim shrank back.


    The man was in a hand-made suit, with a new white shirt inside. There were two red agates iid


    on his cufflinks. He had a clearly defined face and a pair of deep eyes.


    No matter judged from which aspect, he could drive women crazy. Wendy Lim didn''t have any doubt


    about his words.


    She swallowed and kept her voice clear, "My answer does not change."


    "Are you ying a cat and mouse game?" Charlie Hogg frowned.


    "What?" Wendy Lim frowned too.


    Charlie Hogg sneered, "I hate women who like ying tricks. The more real a woman was, the


    more adorable she will be. It seemed that her self-esteem, which she had kept for a long time, had


    been thrown to the ground by him, and he even stepped on it.


    "Mr. Hogg!" Wendy Lim gnashed her teeth and looked straight into his ck eyes, "I didn''t y a cat


    and mouse game, or any other tricks! Whether you ask me for the three times or the thirtieth times,


    my answer will not change! Perhaps there are so many women who want to crawl to your feet and


    get on your bed, but I refuse to do!"


    Charlie Hogg stared at her.


    He was thinking and judging, which could be recognized from his deep dark eyes.


    After a long time, the force from Charlie Hogg suddenly disappeared. He moved back to his seat.


    There was a sound of the lighter produced a me, and then the smell of smoke spread again in the


    car.


    After keeping silent for a while, Charlie Hogg turned to her again with a meaningful expression,


    "There''s still time. I can wait. You will beg me one day."


    "No worries! I won''t! Never!" Wendy Lim clenched her hands and said with conviction.


    The air inside the car suddenly became heavy.

    No man could bear the repeated provocation of a woman, especially a man like him who had


    superiority in all aspects.


    Charlie Hogg took a deep drag on his cigarette, and his eyes were burning with rage.


    However, when his thin lips moved, he said in a calm voice, “Wendy Lim, you can never say never."


    "Even if you beg me in the future, I have to think twice."


    Wendy Lim’s heart trembled.


    Somehow, she felt an invisible w was stretching to her.


    Watching he snubbed out the cigarette, Wendy Lim felt that his patience was gone.


    "Get off my car, now!"


    Wendy Lim heard the sound of unlocking the car doors. She gritted her teeth and reached out one


    hand to open the door.


    She returned home on the top floor and lit the room. She looked down through the window, and


    found that the white Land Rover was still there.


    The taillights of the car shed twice, and then it disappeared gradually from her sight. However,


    the pressure that Charlie Hogg brought to her didn''t disappear. She felt an inexplicable scare


    surging in her mind...


    At night, the city lit up. Wendy Lim put on her uniform and worked in the bar.


    It was still early and there were not many guests. So Wendy Lim was not very busy.


    When Wendy Lim came out of the bathroom, she saw a slender tall man at the door. He didn''t dress


    in a casual way. He looked very professional in a ck suit, but he kept a grin on his face.


    She blinked and asked, "Ewan? Do youe here to fritter away money again?"


    It was quite normal to meet Ewan Shaw in this bar.


    "No, Ie to see you today." Ewan Shaw waved his hand.


    "What''s the matter?" Wendy Lim looked at him.


    "I’ll fly to New York for a business trip at ten. It''s a knotty problem so I''ll be back in two or three


    weeks.


    Ie to say goodbye to you now in case you will miss me so much!" Ewan Shaw was knocking on


    his watch.


    Wendy Lim snorted, "So you dressed like this?"


    "Hey! Should I be careless and casual every day? “Ewan Shaw grinned. He paused for a while and


    then continued in a serious tone, "Wendy Lim, Felix is in New York now and I’ll meet him there...


    Should I tell him something about you?"


    Wendy Linn''s heart skipped a beat when she heard the name. She shook her head immediately,


    "No!"


    "..." Ewan Shaw frowned and stared at her.


    Wendy Lim said with an expression of stubborn determination," Ewan Shaw, don''t forget you''ve


    promised me!"


    "Okay!" Ewan Shaw nodded reluctantly.


    Wendy Lim was relieved, but she couldn''t control the bitterness in her mind.


    "By the way, you called me the night before yesterday..."


    "Ah!" Wendy Lim patted her head, "I forgot to say thanks to you!" "Thank me for what?" Ewan Shaw


    confused.


    Wendy Lim was also puzzled, "I called you, and then..."


    "I met tworades-in-arms that day, and we went to a bar together that night. Later, I received


    your call, and you asked if I could help you. However, I didn’t hear the details clearly, and then my


    cellphone was turned off due to low power!" Ewan Shaw recalled what happened that night and


    asked her, "What can I do for you at midnight?"


    "Nothing..." Wendy Lim shook her head slowly.


    The confusion in her mind spread like weeds.


    If it was not Ewan Shaw, who would it be?


    With Ynda Lim''s interference, the police couldn''t release her before they found out the truth.


    Moreover, the policewoman had clearly stated that someone had helped her...


    But who had helped her?


    A clearly defined face emerged in Wendy Lim’s mind.


    The next day was the weekend. After Wendy Lim finished her part-time job during the daytime, she


    went to the hospital.


    When she arrived at the ward, her grandmother was still sleeping, with a needle on the back of her


    right hand. But she looked better.


    The olddy, who had a lung disease in the next bed, coughed every few minutes. Although there


    was a curtain between the beds, it couldn’t inste the noise. Wendy Lim could only pat on her


    grandma''s arm gently to help her grandma sleep well.


    The sun shined through the window and cast a shadow on her grandma’s face.


    She didn''t get enough money for her grandma''s second operation, and her father Johnny Urn''s


    phone was still off.


    Wendy Lim felt a lot of pressure, but she would not and could not give up.


    Her mother lived in the hospital before the end of her life. At that time, her mother worn out by the


    mistress of her father. Her mother couldn''t sleep at night, and she needed to rely on the medicine to


    maintain consciousness.


    Her mother held Wendy Lim''s hands and said a lot to her. When her mother finished thest


    sentence, she kissed Wendy Lim’s forehead and gave her some money to buy a donut. At that time,


    Wendy Lim was so naive and couldn''t understand the sorrow in her mother''s red eyes. When


    Wendy Lim went back, she could only watch her mother jumped off from the tall building...


    Her mother''sst words: Wendy, please take good care of your grandma in the future!


    Wendy Lim avoided the needle and held her grandma''s wrinkled hand tightly.


    She told herself that she wouldn''t let her grandma die.


    Her eyshes became wet. There were some soundsing from the bed. Then, she heard an old


    lady''s voice, "Wendy, shall we leave the hospital?"
