Purchased A Mr. Right
Chapter 550

Larry called Charlie, who was in the study upstairs. When he came in, he saw that Wendy paced anxiously back and forth in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. She clutched her phone and called Emily over and over again. However, no matter how many times she tried, there was only a mechanical female voice on the line, saying, "the person you're calling is unavailable at the moment." "Wendy, what's wrong?"

Wendy relaxed as soon as she looked back and saw him. "Charlie, what should I do? What should I do?"

She swallowed hard and said in an anxious voice, "I just watched the news that there was an earthquake in South Africa, where Emily stayed. I have called her many times, but I can't get through! Will she..." Hearing her words, Charlie was shocked.

He wasted no time in taking out his mobile phone and quickly glanced at the news delivered a few minutes ago. Sure enough, there was one that she said.

Wendy's face was covered with traces of tears. When Charlie put down the phone and looked up, he saw warm tears bursting out of her eyes. Her tearful look made his heart ache. While wiping her tears off with his fingers, he asked, "Wendy, don't cry!"

But how could she control it? At this time, all she could think about was Emily's safety.

Seeing that he could not calm her down, Charlie was afraid that her feeling of sadness would hurt her health, so he had to say, "Don't scare Larry!"

When Wendy heard his words, she looked down and found that Larry was holding her legs and looking at her timidly with his pair of big black eyes. She immediately stopped crying and wiped her tears carelessly with her hands.

She patted Larry's head and told him not to be afraid. She had to take care of Larry and the baby in her belly and should not scare them. Therefore, she sobbed a while longer and calmed herself down finally. Charlie breathed a sigh of relief and held her in his arms. He stroked her back and said in a low voice, "Wendy, don't worry. We don't know the situation yet, and so don't assume the worst. Maybe we just can't get in touch with her for the time being. God blesses the good, and she'll be fine!"

"Yes!" Wendy nodded affirmatively.

No matter how anxious she was, she could do nothing to help. For now, she could only pray for her!

The whole afternoon, Wendy seemed to have been cumbered with a load of care and didn't eat much for dinner. Even before going to bed, she still repeatedly called Emily, her best friend.

It was a pity that there was no response.

Charlie gave her a glass full of steaming milk and sat next to her, part of his shadow cast on her. "You haven't got through, right?"

Wendy shook her head, her face cloudy. "Yes..."

She not only made lots of phone calls but also sent her many texts and emails. As long as there was any way to contact her, she would not miss it. If she was pregnant now, she might not stay at home and fly to South Africa to find out what had happened to her.

"Don't be nervous. You can try again when you wake up tomorrow morning."

Wendy could only nod. She sat up and took the glass of milk, but she had no appetite. After taking a small sip, she was about to put it down.

Charlie stopped her. He frowned and said, "Drink it up. You didn't eat much at dinner!" Wendy had no choice but to finish the rest of the glass of milk.

Seeing that the cup was empty, Charlie felt better. He first kissed the corner of her mouth, then stroked her hair on her temples and said, "The earthquake just happened, and so the situation there is not clear. I suppose that a full-scale rescue operation must have been launched. I think we should pay more attention to the news. Besides, I've already contacted the embassy there and didn't find her name on the list of casualties. At least, she is probably alive. At this time, it's better to have no news from her than to hear the news of her death!"

"You're right." Wendy replied in a low voice.

His deep eyes under the light were filled with distress and worry. When she looked into his eyes, her heart trembled with pain. She gently took his hand and blamed herself, "Charlie, I'm sorry to have worried you!"

"It's good that you know it!" Charlie deliberately snorted and glanced at the electronic clock next to him. He frowned and said, "It's already half past ten. You should go to bed!" "Okay..." Wendy lay down obediently.

She felt a loving kiss from him with her eyes closed. Then she heard him go downstairs and upstairs-he poured her a cup of warm water and put it on her bedside.

However, he did not lie down after a long time. She couldn't help opening her eyes to see what he was doing - he was making phone calls.

Wendy frowned and asked, "Charlie, it's so late now. Who are you calling?"

"Simon." Charlie said.

Wendy was stunned for a moment, and then she realized something and said with a sigh, "If Dr. Chin knew the news, he would be very anxious!"

Though far apart from each other, they cared for each other. As her best friend, Wendy was so worried when she heard about it. If Simon learned the news, he could only be more worried than her. Charlie frowned deeply and said in a deep voice, "But I haven't yet got in touch with him. I don't know if it's because the signal in the plateau is not good, I just couldn't get through."

It had never occurred to Wendy that Simon also could not be reached.

Since they could reach neither of them, Wendy and Charlie could only go to sleep in each other's arms.

The next day was a working day, so the whole family got up and finished their breakfast around the dining table early. When they were ready to go out, Wendy's cell phone rang.

At this moment, she had just put on one shoe, but still, she leaned against the shoe cabinet and took her phone out. Someone was calling her by FaceTime. When she saw the number, she let out a cheer with a trembling voice. "Emily!"

Due to the bad signal, her image was a little blurred. Nevertheless, Wendy could

see Emily's tanned round face clearly.

"Wendy!" From the other end of the line, Emily smiled at her. "I saw a lot of messages from you on my phone and knew you must've been terrified after hearing the news. You see, I call you as soon as my phone finds a signal!"

Seeing her familiar smiling face, Wendy, who had been anxious the whole night, was finally relieved. She hurriedly asked, "Emily, are you okay? Are you hurt?"

"No, you can rest assured!" She smiled and said, "When the earthquake occurred, I happened to be in a car on the road. I was not in a building when the earthquake happened, so I luckily survived and didn't get hurt. It's just that I was trapped for a whole day halfway on the road, where there was no signal on my phone. I've just be transferred to a safer place this morning by rescuers!"

Wendy breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. She was indeed very lucky to survive this disaster!

From the screen, she could see that the surroundings of Emily were a little messy. There was lots of noise and many foreigners walking around behind her. Thus, Wendy easily caught sight of an Asian whose figure flashed across the screen quickly.

As she saw the familiar pair of lovely charming eyes, Wendy widened her eyes in surprise and asked, "Dr. Chin?"
