Ah, I haven’t eaten enough yet, so why should I make him breakfast.
“Hey, are you too picky!” I tugged on his sleeve.
My cooking skills are good, but still much worse than the ones from the store.
I reluctantly went to the supermarket to buy ingredients with him.
When I returned to the ward, my uncle was talking to the nurse.
I said hello and went into the small kitchen that was part of the VIP ward and expertly cooked the pasta.
Calvin leaned against the door from start to finish, watching me cook the pasta and smelling the aroma of the food. His heart warmed as if the scene from six years ago had resurfaced, only when he saw me distributing the pasta into two bowls. When it obviously wasn’t made for him alone, he suddenly felt a little annoyed.
I turned to see Calvin frowning, thinking it was because I was cooking too slowly and he was hungry.
“Aren’t you going to eat it?” Calvin blinked at me.
“My uncle and I can eat a bowl.” I grabbed a few more bowls and planned to share them with my uncle. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been used to eating with my uncle. We also like to fight over food, so I didn’t think this was wrong. But before I reached the door, Calvin pulled me back. “NO!” Calvin had a somber face and fire in his eyes. “You’re eating with me.” I can hear that he is jealous.
Although I still can’t accept being so close to him, we don’t share dishes. So I can accept it.
After a few bites, I was full, and when I looked up, Calvin had already finished eating.
Is my cooking really great! After breakfast, it was almost eight o’clock. The nurses coming in and out of the ward were getting more and more nervous.
Fortunately, Calvin and Uncle’s presence made me feel more comfortable.
At 8:10, my mother came in. In the operating room, they were pressing on my heart. Although Dr. Black had told me that they had made several surgical plans to do their best to ensure the safety of my mother’s life, I could not relax.
As time passed, I sat in the operating room, not daring to leave. Calvin didn’t go into the company today and was by my side. I was nervous, so Calvin let me hold his hand and let me dig my nails into his palms without frowning.
Eric Johnson leaned back against the wall and kept head down. Three hours later the surgery was over, but at this point I was getting more and more nervous.
I felt like I couldn’t breathe. The doctor came out and I wanted to ask how it was going, but my legs seemed like they were nailed down.
Luckily Calvin supported me and I went to see the doctor. When I saw the doctor, I opened my mouth to speak, but I couldn’t get any sound out, even after straining a few times.
I was really too scared to hear bad news. The doctor’s expression was very relaxed, “The surgery was very successful!”
“Thank you!” After hearing the doctor’s words, I was able to speak immediately, and the pain that was on the verge of choking just disappeared.
“Alexia, the surgery was successful, you can rest assured.” Dr. Black also smiled and comforted , “And there is good news, your mother can’t stand up, not because of problems with her lumbar spine, but because of a blood clot in her skull. The nerve was compressed, and that was removed today, so your mom can get rid of the wheelchair in the future!” Mom can stand up! Not only can my mom stand up, but she can walk, which is really great!
“Thank you!” I couldn’t help but cry and lay down on Calvin’s chest, covering my face and crying. “Well, you’re not a kid!” Eric Johnson also showed a rare smile on his face. I scrambled to my feet, my face flushed with embarrassment, “I’m sorry, I soiled your clothes again.”
Calvin looked at me and smiled, a soft expression in his eyes.
“It’s okay!” He said, “As long as you want, my arms are always open to you!”
Calvin’s voice was very soft, only I could hear it, and I blushed shyly.
For a moment I thought Calvin was going to confess something to me, but the opportunity was wrong, and I didn’t have time to think about the deep meaning of his words, so I just pretended not to understand.
The doctor told my mother to stay in the ICU for 48 hours. I wanted so much to stay with my mother. Even when I went back to rest, I couldn’t sleep.
“It’s getting late, go get something to eat first.” Calvin looked at the phone. I didn’t turn down the offer. But during dinner, I was absent-minded, thinking about my mother.
Calvin took me straight home. He went home and changed his clothes. After a few words, he left, leaving me alone in the house.
I want to go to the hospital and wait, but all I can do is sit outside. I’ve had too many goodbyes in the last few days and I can feel my emotions being affected. If it’s possible, I really don’t want to go back to that place. I showered and then lay down to sleep.
Suddenly, I was awakened by the doorbell. The call was from Calvin.
“Home?” asked Calvin as soon as I picked up the phone.
“Yes.”, I answered. Calvin was silent for a while and then said, “I have to go to Switzerland in case something happens temporarily. The plane is about to take off. It’s too late to fly back. Take care of yourself.”
“Oh, okay!” I was anxious to see what would happen. He was so excited he didn’t even have time to pack his things. Calvin didn’t hang up, and I couldn’t hang up until he did. I couldn’t hear him for a while, so I asked cautiously, “Is there anything else?” “You don’t have anything to tell me?” “Nothing.” I really have nothing to say, should I tell him to be careful, to come back early, and that I’ll be waiting for him at home? I can’t stand just thinking about it.
Calvin was silent for a while before he said softly, “I know.”
Calvin hung up the phone. Why did I find Calvin’s last sentence so disappointing?
I guess I was thinking too much. After randomly eating something, I settled into bed and browsed. Then I received a call from my uncle.
“You’re staying with him?” asked Eric Johnson directly.
“Uncle, I…” I couldn’t think of a reason to tell my uncle that I had moved out and had been discovered. What was I supposed to do?
“Your grandparents know about your mother. They will come tomorrow. They will come back and stay for two days. When they are gone, you will go back. They must not find out that you have a boyfriend. If they do, they’ll know Calvin’s identity and worry about you again. ”
“Uncle,” I couldn’t help but wonder if I had misunderstood.
“I’m not an old man, I understand you’re in love, but Alexia, remember to use condoms!”, Eric Johnson explained carefully.
I blushed and wanted to tell my uncle that there was no way something like that could happen. I signed a contract with him!
“I understand, uncle.” I said this with a blush on my face. “Have you eaten yet?” Eric Johnson also knew that he was a bit embarrassed to say that, so he quickly changed the subject.
“I ate.” I answered honestly. “Then rest well.” Eric Johnson hung up immediately after I spoke.
I pouted a little dissatisfied, I was still thinking that I would like to have dinner with my uncle if he said he didn’t eat. That night I slept alone in the big house and slept until dawn. I turned on the phone and found that Calvin had sent me a message in the middle of the night.
“I’ve arrived.”I replied, “Is everything going well?” But he didn’t answer for a long time, maybe he was still asleep. I’m going to the hospital to talk to my uncle.
When my grandpa and grandma come, he can’t just talk like that. It’s not good to scare the old people. I called Abel and he soon came. I didn’t want to draw attention and was afraid my grandparents would ask if they saw me, so I asked Abel to drop me off at the bus stop near the hospital.
What I didn’t know, however, was that not far away someone was quietly recording this scene on a cell phone. From the Bentley parked on the side of the road, to Abel opening the door, to me getting out of the car, the entire process was filmed.
As soon as I entered the hospital, I saw my grandfather and grandmother sitting in the chair outside the hallway looking in that direction. Luckily I didn’t let Abel park here or I would have been spotted. What surprised me was that they weren’t distraught, although their faces were full of worry and sadness, but they were very reasonable.
“Grandpa, Grandma.” Seeing them, I couldn’t help but cry. “Good girl, you suffered.” Grandma couldn’t stop crying.
“Where’s uncle?” I wiped away my tears, but I couldn’t find Uncle.
“Go buy us breakfast.” Said Grandpa.
“Then we’ll wait for him together and then go upstairs.” I helped my grandma sit down.
“Alexia, has your father been here?” asked Grandpa suddenly.
My expression was a little embarrassed, but I shook my head and said, “No.”
Grandpa and Grandma stopped talking, but I could see their moods were getting worse. Luckily, Uncle came back at that moment.
Before he entered the ward, my uncle quietly told me that my grandpa and grandma actually already knew everything , and I panicked a little.
“Go!” Eric Johnson hugged me, and we entered the house together. Of course, my grandfather and grandmother were very angry because they thought that my mother had such a bad accident and I was still keeping her as a secret.
They also felt sorry for me that I had to deal with so many things on my own.
“Grandpa and Grandma,” I looked at the two older people.
“Sit down!” said grandpa in a solemn tone. I obediently sat down, Eric Johnson sat down next to me as well, and then we began to listen.
“Alexia, when something like this happens, it’s better if we find a way together than you alone. Grandma knows you’re scared we won’t be able to take it. Hey, we’re so old and we’ve been through everything. We’re not gonna let it get us down that easy. Remember, no matter what happens, you don’t have to bear it alone!” My nose is sour as I hear my grandmother’s words, I can’t hold back the tears. ”
“And you bad boy!” Grandfather saw me crying, and he felt distressed. He couldn’t bear to scold again, so he said Eric Johnson, “You’re in your thirties and you don’t have a girlfriend. Alexia is a young girl. There’s really no point in giving birth to you.” Eric Johnson sat without saying a word. He is very experienced. If he says anything now, he’ll definitely get beaten up, so it’s better to keep quiet. Someone will save him anyway.
