Back at the Fischer’s mansion in the evening, Grandma cooked dinner herself and asked Cheney and I to eat it together.
After dinner, Grandpa was at the dinner table and said with a straight face, “Cheney, how did I hear that Flora woke up, but you didn’t go to see her?”
Cheney answered, “Grandpa, don’t worry about our affairs, I know it myself.”
“If you know it, can Flora live on the nutrient solution delivered by the hospital for three days in a row?”
Grandpa said and looked at me, “And you Krista tell that to your husband. Why don’t you persuade Cheney? Flora is also a member of our Fischer family. As the new owners of the Fischer family, shouldn’t you husband and wife do your best?”
I smiled awkwardly. “I know Grandpa, I will persuade Cheney.”
“This has nothing to do with Krista,” Cheney said with displeasure.
Grandma also said, “I can’t blame Krista for this. She is so uncomfortable. If you ask me, I would definitely not be as good as Krista.”
Grandpa eyebrows said, “I’m not talking about things. Jacob has worked with us all his life. That’s really hard work. They are the reasons why we reached this positions and place that we are in, we have responsibilities that we can’t get rid of. Moreover… if Cheney hadn’t married, he should have married…”
“Oh, you old man, you are speaking nonsense again.” Grandma stuffed the steamed bread in her hand into Grandpa’s mouth. “Eating your meal is your responsibility, and it is not your turn to manage the family affairs.”
Grandpa said, “OK, OK, I don’t care, I will see to it, what if people die?”
I sent the food mechanically into my mouth, and my mind was in a mess.
The next afternoon, I received a phone call from Lockie, and they made an appointment to meet at the same place in the evening.
At night, as soon as I showed up in the private room, Lockie threw a pillow on the sofa at me.
“You, why is it so difficult to ask for your time?”
I threw the pillow at him with a backhand. “Blame me for being busy? It’s not that you are too idle.”
“I guess time is not the problem now?”
I opened the wine jar, and when I was about to drink it, I suddenly thought of the child in my belly, and then put down the wine jar.
Lockie looked at me. “Why don’t you drink?”
“I can’t drink it.”
“What’s the matter? You have family rules and they can’t let you drink with men?”
I gave him a white look. He can really think.
He smiled and handed me the wine. “Come on, drink it. If Cheney doesn’t want you because of this wine, it’s just right. We don’t want to talk to him about it.”
“I really can’t drink it,” I said seriously. “I’m pregnant.”
His pupils are unconsciously big a few minutes. “What is it?”
I was speechless and said, “Didn’t you hear everything?”
He put down the wine jar and looked at me seriously. “Cheney’s?”
“Or else?” I raised my decibel by several degrees. “Are you looking for a beating?”
“No, no, no, I mean… this is so shocking, you didn’t do anything.”
I breathed, “No.”
“Then what is your situation now? You are going to have this child?” He frowned. “You’re going to have a baby for Cheney?”
I sank my voice and hung my eyes without speaking.
He patted his thigh. “Elder sister, can you not be silent at this time? I panic in my heart, but you should say something.”
“Originally, because the old lady and father of the Fischer family wanted great-grandchildren very much, and they were very nice and Cheney treated me well, so I was going to have a baby for the Fischer family, but…” I looked at him. “But now, I’m not sure.”
“Why are you not sure?”
I looked at him with grievances in my eyes. “Lockie, I’m not sure, because the girl Cheney used to love woke up. She was a vegetable because of an accident, but… God gave her a miracle.”
He looked surprised. “Vegetative people wake up? Isn’t that all on TV?”
“Yes… it’s that all on TV, but it really happened in real life, I also met her.”
Inexplicably, I remembered Zaniyah’s curse before he died. That curse is scary. I just decided to grow old with Cheney like this, but Flora woke up. When I know Flora exists, how can I be indifferent? My heart is not made of iron.
Lockie frowned. “Does Cheney know about this?”
I shook my head. “I haven’t told him yet, and I don’t know how to speak.”
“Then this child, are you eager to stay or send him away?”
I looked at Lockie, clasping my hands, and my heart was very anxious and uneasy. He leaned sideways and sat on the coffee table, face to face with me.
He bent over and took my hand. “Girl, you can rest assured that no matter what decision you make, the Irwin family will be your strong backing. If you decide not to have this baby, I’ll contact the hospital for you. If you decide to have this baby, no matter how much Cheney loves that woman, the Irwin family will keep you firmly in the Fischer family. No matter how bad it is, you still have me. I will be Michel Platini for this child, and I will protect you both for a lifetime. ”
I looked at Lockie with emotion. I think it’s really enough to have close friends in my life.
I smiled and nodded. “I’ll think it over before I make a decision.”
He loosened his hand and returned to the position just now. “If you want to make a decision as soon as possible, I can tell you that the younger the child is, the less pain you two experience when doing it.”
“Don’t magnify anyone’s pain, it is our ultimate goal.” I answered softly.
Decide, it is really necessary to do it early. The children in the belly grow up day by day. At that time, even if I want to hide it, I am afraid I can’t hide it.
I have not slept well these days.
The next evening, I came back from the construction site early, because I had an appointment with Afra to see Old Master Q together. There are many words in comic books that Afra doesn’t know and needs my help. She and I sat in the greenhouse of the Plum Court, reading and chatting.
