When Flora said this, Krista’s smile popped into my mind for no reason. I shook my head and put my eyes on Flora. “Next time, you will take good care of yourself. We are all looking forward to your recovery.”
“Well, I will certainly try my best.” She said and slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Doctors say this is a normal phenomenon, and it will take a long time to recover.
Uncle Jacob thought of something and said, “By the way, doctor, what should we pay attention to when taking care of her? For example, what can be eaten, what can’t be eaten, and what else needs to be extra careful?”
“In terms of eating, it is still necessary to focus on lightness and nutrition. It must be remembered that it is a miracle that she can wake up. Don’t stimulate her emotions, let her rest and slowly adapt to the present life.”
Uncle Jacob nodded again and again. After sending the doctor away, he looked at me and said, “Mr. Cheney, Flora is asleep. Can you help me take care of her here for a while? I want to go back and arrange some things and pack my shirts or anything that is useful. These days, I want to live in the hospital to take care of Flora.”
I answered with a smile, “Don’t worry uncle, go and be careful. I’ll take care of her.”
Uncle Jacob was happy by the look on his face.
I sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Flora’s sleeping face as before, but I thought something. How can I tell her that I was married?
Krista’s POV
In the evening, I came home, and I noticed that Cheney was not yet home.
These days, I really eat a lot. I obviously eat a lot at noon, but now I am hungry. While our servants were preparing dinner, I went into the kitchen and brought out some cakes.
While eating, Afra ran in. “Aunt, stay there I’m coming.”
I got up, squatted down, and Afra jumped into my arms happily. “You came just in time to eat cake with your second aunt. Today’s cake is super delicious.”
She took off her schoolbag, put it on the sofa, and ate cake with me.
The little one said while chewing the cake, “Aunt, I don’t have to take tutoring classes tonight. Grandma said that I can play after finishing my homework. Can you accompany me to do my homework later?”
“Well, I’m free anyway. Sure!”
“After finishing my homework, let’s play a game of changing Barbie dolls. I have many new Barbie dolls.”
I touched her little face and laughed. “Okay little one.”
Before the cake was finished, the servant in the kitchen came out and asked respectfully, “Mrs. Fischer, can I place the dinner now?”
I looked at the time. “No, don’t hurry, wait for Cheney.”
Afra waved her hand. “Aunt, you should eat first. Just now, I overheard Grandma telling Grandpa that Uncle may not come back tonight, so I came to you.”
“Why doesn’t he come back?” I wonder, Cheney didn’t tell me not to come back. Did he tell Grandma?
Afra stuffed the cake into her mouth. “I heard Grandma say Flora is awake.”
I was kind of surprised. “You know Flora?”
“I didn’t know her. But I heard Mr. Jacob tell brother Rashad once a few days ago. Brother Rashad was so excited when he heard that Flora was going to wake up. He held me in several circles and almost turned me dizzy.”
She thought of something and said, “Aunt, what is the disease of vegetative people? Grandma said that Flora was in a vegetative state and woke up after lying down for four years. She also said that this is a miracle among miracles.”
Now I understand why Rashad said that Flora is going to wake up. It turns out that she is in a vegetative state. I only hear that vegetative people don’t wake up but, it is a miracle! It’s really amazing. I’ve only seen it on TV before. But Flora is about to wake up, and Rashad is so excited that he goes around and jumping. Besides, why is Flora the favorite woman of Cheney?
Grandma, Grandpa, and Uncle Jacob knew that Flora existed. I’m really confused about who this Flora is. By the time Cheney came back, Afra was tired of playing with me and asleep.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Afra on the bed and frowned. “Why is the child sleeping here?”
“Tired of playing, I told the story for a while, and she fell asleep. I wanted to take her back to the Plum Court, but the servant said that it was raining outside. After that, I asked the servants to tell her grandparents. Grandma said that to let her sleep with me tonight.”
He raised his eyebrows. “Then where shall I sleep?”
I pointed to the half bed behind Afra. “Can’t you sleep here? If you feel crowded, you can sleep next door.”
“Are you going to separate from your husband?”
I laughed, “I said, if you feel that you can’t sleep here, go next door. If you are comfortable with this position, you can sleep here, and no one drives you away.”
He snorted, went into the bathroom unhappy, came out after taking a bath, and lay down on the other half of the bed.
I looked at him and asked, “Why are you so late today? Have you eaten?”
After he looked at me, his eyes dodged. “I have eaten, and you?”
“Of course, I ate. I have a good appetite recently and have eaten a lot.”
I put down the book in my hand and lay beside Afra. “I’m sleepy, I’ll sleep first.”
He didn’t say anything, but also lay down. We turned off the bedside lamp at the same time, and the room suddenly became dark.
I turned over, turned my back to them, looked at the curtains, and thought to myself, Cheney avoided my question. He didn’t tell me where he went. It seems that Afra is right. He went to accompany Flora who just woke up.
He only accompanied that woman, why does he want to hide it? I always feel that he is guarding me. I don’t like this feeling very much. Is he still afraid that I can stalk him? I won’t hurt that Flora. If he says it, I will quit automatically. I felt annoyed to death.
