Chapter 257
At two o'clock in the afternoon, in the noisy airport lobby.
There was still plenty of time. The international flight to the United States didn't leave for more than an hour. When Wendy looked up, she saw Felix walking toward her with the boarding pass and passport.
After taking them separately, Wendy looked out of the window.
Finally, she made a decision to go to the United States with Felix and his son. So soon, she would leave this city. Although she was the only one left in her family, she had lived here for so many years. It's still hard for her to leave here.
Wendy's sight gradually became blurred, and she vaguely heard Felix suddenly say something next to her.
"Mr. Flogg, what a coincidence!"
She held her breath and turned around stiffly.
Charlie's tall and strong figure was just a few steps away from her. Fie wore a black suit, a white shirt, and a neat tie. Fle's the only one who can wear such a simple, common outfit with that touch of nobility, and Farr was by his side.
She suddenly couldn't look away.
She thought to herself, "Just a few more eyes."
After Charlie nodded, Felix couldn't help asking, "Mr. Hogg, do you also go on a business trip?"
"Come here to pick up a client." Charlie's lips twitched slightly.
The deep eyes swept over Wendy's face. The picture of Wendy and Felix standing side by side with a child was too dazzling, like a family of three. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
"Oh, I see!" Felix nodded.
The radio began to remind that the international flight to the United States would take off on time and passengers had begun to prepare for the departure. Passengers who didn't have a security check need to hurry up, which will soon be stopped.
"Sorry, Mr. Hogg, we have to go now!" Felix looked down at his watch and held his son.
Charlie's pupils contracted and he said, "Have a safe journey."
"Thank you!" Felix replied with a smile. He looked at Wendy, who had been expressionless since Charlie showed up. He took the initiative to say, "Wendy, aren't you going to say goodbye to Mr. Hogg?"
Charlie looked at her again.
Their eyes met, as if thousands of words were stuck in their mouths.
Wendy's drooping right hand quietly covered her lower abdomen and regained her voice. "Charlie, we're leaving..."
There were still a father and a son that could not be ignored in the corner of Charlie's eyes. He naturally thought that the "we" were referring to them. "Okay." His Adam's apple moved slightly.
Wendy, holding her passport and boarding pass, followed Felix and his son to the security checkpoint.
The scent of each other was entangling, then going away in different directions.
The radio of the airport was still ringing, alerting the arriving and departing flights. Looking out from the clear floor-to-ceiling windows, it seemed that there was a plane crossing the sky just now, leaving a white trace.
The two of them, who had said that they were there to pick up a client, stood there for more than two hours.
Farr did not know how many times he looked at his watch, and he had to go forward and remind Boss. "Mr. Hogg, the meeting will start soon. If we don't go back now, I'm afraid it will be too late..."
After a long time, Charlie finally reacted.
Five months later, in Los Angeles.
A slender figure walked along the boulevard from the park. Judging from her back alone, it was impossible to tell that she had been pregnant for seven months. She put her hand on her swollen belly and smiled gently.
When she walked back to the apartment building, there was a father and son standing there at the door. Apparently, they were waiting for her.
Wendy couldn't help but quicken her pace and said with a smile, "Felix, you're here!" After leaving Ice City, she had a direct flight from New York to Los Angeles. She lived in the vacant apartment mentioned by Felix before. It was really perfect for her as a pregnant woman. Every day, she would go to the park to take a walk. Felix and his son were still living in New York. Every month, they would take time to come to see her.
"Wendy, I'm here!" The little fellow was unhappy for being neglected.
"Yes, and our Toby!" Wendy couldn't hold the little fellow now, so she could only reach out and touch his head. "Toby seems to have grown taller!"
"Because I can eat two bowls of rice at one meal!" The little fellow said proudly.
Wendy laughed and caught a glimpse of something from the corner of her eyes. She couldn't help but turn her head back immediately.
"Wendy, what's wrong?" Felix asked hurriedly.
Wendy stared at it for a long time. Behind her, besides a car approaching, were children playing in the shade under a tree. She frowned slightly and muttered, "I always feel like someone is following

me...
It seemed that she'd had similar delusions since she'd moved here.
Probably because she was in a foreign country. There were foreigners around her most of the time, so it was inevitable that there would be a few more scruples and guards.
"Really?" Felix also frowned and looked behind her. "Do you want to call the police?" Wendy smiled and shook her head. "It's okay. There's no need. The public security here has always been very good. Maybe it's because I'm too sensitive! Don't just stand downstairs. Let's go upstairs and sit down."
"Okay, be careful with the steps!" Felix said in a gentle voice.
After taking them into the apartment and chatting for a while, Wendy got up and went to the bathroom. After washing up the toilet, she came out. When she was about to step out of the toilet, her feet suddenly slipped and she fell straight back.
It was too late for her to grab the door handle. Instantly, she felt a sharp pain.
"Felix..."
When Felix heard the sound, he quickly came over.
When he opened the door of the bathroom, he saw that Wendy fell to the ground, curled up in pain, and covered her stomach tightly with both hands. Her face turned pale, and sweat was pouring down from her forehead like a soybean.
Felix did not dare to delay, so he let his son stay at home, and went forward to pick her up and hurriedly stopped a car to go to the hospital.
Finally, they arrived at the hospital. Wendy, who had been in a semi-conscious state, was put on the bed and pushed inside. The doctors and nurses came forward and inspected as they walked inside. "Oh no! The amniotic fluid has been broken. It seems that it will be premature!"
"Arrange the operating room!" Outside the emergency room, Felix asked anxiously, "Doctor, how is she now?"
"Now the baby's going to be born prematurely and both of mother and child are in critical condition." The doctor pushed up his glasses and said, "But don't worry, we're prepping your wife for delivery surgery."
Felix knew that the doctor had misunderstood the relationship between Wendy and him, but he had no time to explain and only repeatedly asked the doctor for help.
At this time, Wendy had pushed out again and her clothes had been changed by the nurse and was about to enter the operating room.
Felix hurried over and saw her struggling to raise her hand. "Felix..."
Perhaps because of the severe pain, her hair on her temples was wet and stuck to her face. Fler bloodless lips trembled, and her voice was very low. Felix leaned over and finally heard what she was saying.
"A phone? Do you want to make a phone call?"
Seeing that she nodded, Felix quickly took out his mobile phone.
Beside them, the nurse frowned and urged, "Please be quick. She's about to be wheeled into the operating room!"
