Freya got out of bed, her neck still recovering from surgery, causing her to look up and not see what was under her feet. Accidentally, she bumped into the table, nearly tripping over.
Elijah heard the noise and entered the room. Seeing the woman standing there, he furrowed his brows. “What are you doing?”
Freya exclaimed, “Didn’t I ask you to go buy some food?”
Elijah asked her, “You sent me away just so you could go to the bathroom?”
Freya denied, “No.”
“What do you mean?” Elijah walked up to her and carried her into the bathroom, gently placing her down and helping her remove her pants.
Freya asked in panic, grabbing onto the waistband of her pants, “What are you doing?”
“I’m helping you use the bathroom, right?” Elijah chuckled. “We’re married, I’ve seen every part of you, haven’t I?”
Freya remained silent. She pushed him away.
Elijah laughed even more. “Why are you still shy?”
“Get out.”
Freya showed signs of anger. Elijah didn’t continue teasing her and left the bathroom. He sat down on a chair and took out his phone to make a call. After a while, Freya came out. Elijah helped her sit on the bed.
“Lie down!”
Freya asked him, “Don’t you have work to do?”
Elijah did have things to do, but he pushed them all aside. He had to stay here with Freya.
“Money can be earned, but there’s no second you in this world.”
Freya furrowed her brows, thinking to herself, What was gotten into him again?
He had been acting strange lately.
“Do you want to go get a check-up?” she asked.
Elijah was surprised and asked, “Me?”
“Yeah,” Freya said, “why don’t you get an electroencephalogram to see if you have any neurological issues?”
Elijah was speechless.
Was she cursing him?
“Are you trying to run away with your ex, so you’re hoping I have a mental illness?” he asked.
“Get lost!” Freya thought he was crazy, always saying abnormal things.
Elijah laughed self-mockingly. “If you don’t want to see me, that’s fine. But you’ll have to wait until you’re discharged.”
Even if he was unhappy, he wouldn’t ignore Freya at this moment. He didn’t want her to take advantage of the situation.
Freya closed her eyes and pretended to sleep. The food that Elijah ordered arrived, and he woke Freya up to eat. But she refused, pretending to still be asleep.
“Well, you can eat when you’re hungry.” Elijah said.
Adam Jackson came over and explained, “I’ll check the patient’s wound.”
Elijah stood by the bed, watching closely. When he saw Adam Jackson unbuttoning Freya’s collar, he buttoned it back up.
Adam was at a lost for words. He smiled and said, “We’re doctors, we won’t do anything else.”
Elijah’s gaze was unfriendly. “Doctors can have cruel intentions too.”
Freya smiled and apologized to Adam Jackson, “I’m fine.”
Adam Jackson also noticed Elijah’s hostility and told Freya to take care before leaving. Freya felt like she had lost face.
“Go arrange for my discharge,” she told Elijah.
“Why? Your injury hasn’t healed yet.”
“I can take care of myself at home. I’m a doctor too, I know what to be careful of. You go and take care of it, so you won’t suspect and say hurtful things.”
“I’ll find a professional doctor to take care of you…”
“No need, it’s inconvenient to have a stranger at home,” she refused. “I can take care of myself.”
“Let’s not arrange for your discharge yet. If you’re uncomfortable staying at the hospital, I’ll take you home first, and tomorrow morning, I’ll bring you back.”
“It’s so troublesome.”
“No, it’s not.” Elijah said.
Freya found it amusing. “Elijah, have you ever looked in the mirror?”
“What?”
“You look like a ‘grumpy woman’.”
…
Elijah brought Freya to the doorstep of their house, and Orion and Luna happened to be there. Coincidentally, Evan and Zane also arrived. Evan came to report on work, while Zane came to see his sister. They all gathered at the entrance.
When Zane saw Luna, his eyes widened.
