Chapter 459


    "Wace, Francis Wace."


    Francis smiled and helped her out of the predicament. Later, he noticed her surprised expression


    and continued to exin, "My parents'' rtionship was opposed by my father''s family back then,


    and they had to secretly elope. Unfortunately, they had a car ident, and in that car ident, my


    father died to save my mother, and my mother passed away not long after I was born. So I was


    brought up by my grandfather and followed his surname!"


    Wendy didn''t expect there''s such aplicated story about him, but she was not interested in the


    secrets of those wealthy families.


    What''s more, there was no deep friendship between them. She just said politely, "Mr. Wace,


    thank you for sending me here!"


    Francis, on the other hand, looked like he had something to say.


    "Miss Lim, aren''t you afraid?" It seemed that he had been holding it in for a long time and finally


    asked.


    Wendy knew what he was referring to and shook her head. "I can''t think that much."


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    When Mr. Wace made things difficult for her and offered her to go to the races, she didn''t even


    have the chance to hesitate. Because just like bungee jumping, she had to win. It didn''t matter if she


    was afraid at that time, and she didn''t even have time to think about whether it would be life-


    threatening.


    It was just that although the process was terrible, there''s little doubt that she''d still do that if she had


    to do it all over again.


    After hearing her answer, Francis was stunned.


    "I have never seen a girl like you ... " Francis muttered in a daze. Seeing her frowning eyebrows, he


    continued to say, "I mean, you are different from the other girls I have seen! There are many girls


    around me. I''m not afraid to tell you that I had only one rtionship with a girl, and it happened


    when I was in college. She was with me because of the money. Later, she went to my grandfather


    and asked for arge sum of money, then went to America! I thought that there were no good girls


    in the world since then ... "


    "Er ... "


    Wendy felt sorry for him, but she didn''t know how to answer this, so she had to say awkwardly, "You


    will meet a good girl! Mr. Wace, I have to go back to the hotel to pack my things. Bye!"


    "Goodbye!" Francis smiled.


    It was only after she disappeared into the cab that he slowly withdrew his eyes.


    After returning to the lounge, Chase had already got up and stood in front of the window with a


    crutch. The tea on the tea table was also cold. Francis walked toward him and said, "Grandpa, Miss


    Lim has already gone back!"


    Chase acted as if he didn''t hear what Francis said, lost in thought, gazing at the things in his hands.


    When Francis approached and was about to ask with concern, he saw that it was a handkerchief


    embroidered with a pair of mandarin ducks ying with water. He suddenly became silent.


    It belonged to her grandmother ...


    Wendy returned to the hotel again, and she was even more downcast than yesterday.


    Although she was packing things, she didn''t bring much. She only brought a backpack, and packing


    things she carried with her would be finished in less than two minutes. She took out her phone and


    called Donna.


    After the call was connected, Donna couldn''t wait to ask, "Wendy, how is it?"


    "I''m sorry, aunt ... " Wendy whispered.


    "You don''t have to say that, I know you must try your best!" Donna quicklyforted Wendy. Donna


    seemed to be worried about her and wanted to remind her, but suddenly said, "Wendy, I still have


    something to do here. That''s it. We''ll talk about it when youe back!"


    Wendy agreed and hung up the phone.


    Donna just came out from Hogg''s Group when she received the call. She saw a luxury car parked


    outside the yard, and then the father and daughter of the Gray family walked in. She put the phone


    back into the bag and bumped into them.


    Donna and Kim had known each other for a long time, and they also had a few dealings in


    business. Donna would call Kim Brother Lu when she met him. They then greeted each other.


    "Aunt!"


    Madge, who was holding Kim''s arm, also called Donna in a sweet voice.


    Donna frowned. Whether it was four years ago or four yearster, she had stressed it many times,


    but Madge had not changed the way of calling her. Although Madge was smiling at her, it was


    useless for her. And she was focused on her nephew, so she didn''t want to argue about it with


    Madge.


    Donna waved her hand and said, "My brother is not in good health these two days. The doctor has


    just given him an infusion bottle, you''ll have to wait for a while!"


    After that, she left in a hurry in the direction of the BMW, not wanting to waste more time.


    Kim and Madge then entered the vi. After the servant went upstairs to inform, not long after,


    Gilbert came straight down with a needle in the back of his hand. After all, they were not just some


    random guests, Gilbert was afraid of neglecting them. It seemed that he was walking slowly, and


    Ewan, who was holding the infusion bottle next to him, supported him.


    "Brother Hogg!"


    "Uncle Hogg!"


    Kim and his daughter both got up from the couch.


    Gilbert smiled and nodded, motioning for them to sit down. "Brother Lu, Madge, you''re here!"


    "Brother Hogg, I know that Charlie''s matter has worried you very much, but you must take care of


    yourself!" Kim sighed and couldn''t help but say. Charlie''s incident had been deliberately suppressed


    for fear that it would have a bigger impact, but Kim got the news even though.


    Although Charlie was no longer his future son-inw, Kim had always liked and appreciated this


    young man very much. What''s more, now with the rtionship of Wendy''s mother, he was more


    concerned about Charlie. When he heard the news, he had already called Gilbert many times to


    pay attention. Today, his daughter asked toe to Hogg''s Mansion to see Gilbert, so he nodded


    and came here with his daughter.


    "Don''t worry, Brother Lu, I will!" Gilbert said with a sigh.


    "Charlie''s case happened so suddenly, and it also involvespanies in Hong Kong. I also inquired


    about it through connections. The case is very tricky! Although I also want to help, at the moment,


    there''s nothing I can do!" Kim frowned and his expression was helpless.


    "I know, Brother Lu!" Gilbert nodded his head repeatedly as he epted Kim''s kindness.


    At this time, Kim had no choice but to say, "Well, God bless him. I believe he will be fine!"


    "I hope so ... " Gilbert smiled bitterly.


    Madge took the initiative to walk to Gilbert''s side and sat down. She said softly, "Uncle Hogg, you


    must take care of yourself. Our Gray family will definitely not stand idly by. As long as you have any


    needs, just call us! Furthermore, Father and I are the same. I believe that in the end, Charlie will be


    fine!"


    The Hogg family and the Gray family had had many coborative projects over the years that had


    involved many. Now that such a thing had happened to Charlie, Gilbert was very grateful that the


    Gray family didn''t disassociate with the Hogg family. Besides, the friendship between him and Kim


    had been so many years.


    However, Gilbert didn''t expect that Madge, who was rejected by Charlie once again, could still be so


    tolerant and open-minded. He was inevitably touched and said, "I know that you are a good girl,


    thank you!"


    The father and daughter of the Gray family chatted with Gilbert for more than half an hour before


    asking to leave.


    Ewan, who had been sitting in the corner and listening to them talk, suddenly stood up. "Uncle Gray,


    Madge, I''ll send you back!"


    "Good, thank you, Ewan!" Kim nodded.


    Meanwhile, Wendy, who was in Hong Kong, took a car to the airport after shepleted the check-


    out procedure.


    Perhaps it was the weekend, the airport was crowded. Each security checkpoint was filled with long


    lines. She held her backpack and walked into the crowd, wet droplets of water haloing the back of


    her hands as she moved her feet.


    After Wendy realized it, she quickly raised her hand and wiped away her tears.


    From the moment when Donna hurriedly hung up the phone, she could feel that things didn''t go well


    either in the Ice City ...


    Closing her eyes, the only thing she could do now was to pray to God and hope Charlie''s okay.


    As the line moved forward, someone suddenly shouted behind her when it was about to turn to her.


    "Miss Lim!"


    Wendy turned around and asked in surprise, "Mr. Wace?"


    The person who called her was not someone else, it was Mr. Wace''s grandson, Francis, who had


    changed into a handsome suit. He looked more handsome and attracted the attention of many


    women.


    "Are you going somewhere, or are you here to pick someone up?" Wendy could not help but ask.


    "Neither, I came here to look for you!" Francis shook his head and then slowly smiled. "My


    grandfather changed his mind."


    Wendy froze for a second and then widened her eyes. She could not believe what she had just


    heard but could not hide her joy. "You mean ... " She stuttered.
