Watching James go out, Elizabeth nibbled at the food and felt that the food didn't taste very good. Was James really angry?
"Elizabeth, eat quickly."
Elizabeth nodded, but she didn't eat faster.
"Are you thinking about Jimmy?" Lydia asked.
"Mom, is he really mad?"
"Why should he be mad?" Lydia waved her hand unconcernedly, "Don't care about him. Anyway, his temper has been getting worse recently. I feel so helpless when I see him."
Lydia snorted and continued, "It is said that pregnant women are bad-tempered, but you are as obedient as before. Jimmy acts as if he is pregnant. I really have enough of him. Let me tell you, Elizabeth. Only you can bear him. If someone else was his wife, they would have fought many times."
"Eat quickly, and don't think about him." In Lydia's heart, no one could be compared to Elizabeth and her grandchild, not to mention Jimmy, who was so hot-tempered!
She didn't bother to pay attention to James.
"Oh."
After a while, seeing that Elizabeth didn't have a good appetite, Lydia sighed, "Eat your meal, and I'll go out and see him." "Jimmy, you can't be so narrow-minded, can you?" Lydia found James who was smoking at the landing and said to him with annoyance.
James shrugged his shoulders, "What do you think?"
"Nothing." Lydia spread her hands, "Whether you are happy or not, it's none of my business."
"So why did you ask me?"
"Your wife is worried about you. In order to let her have a good meal, I could only pretend to be concerned about you and come out to ask you."
"Alas! I really forgot that!" Lydia smiled, "You know that I took a long flight with your father and we were so tired. Besides, I was so excited that I didn't sleep when I went back. I went to the market with Auntie Chang early in the morning, and all I thought about was Elizabeth. Isn't it just a meal? Why are you so angry?"
"Go into the ward. I'm not angry." He was a little annoyed, but he would get furious if Lydia continued to say it.
"No!"
"Then I'll go in." James threw the cigarette butt and was ready to leave.
"Hey!" Lydia pulled him in a hurry, "Wait a minute!"
"What's wrong?"
"I'm not here to see if you're angry, okay?"
"Then why did you come out?" Was Lydia here to laugh at him?
Lydia stopped laughing and said in a serious tone, "I heard it from your father."
"What?"
"About Zena." As soon as Lydia said this, her face became a little angry, "I really didn't expect Zena to be so bad. I'm pissed off!"
"Elizabeth is an amiable girl, but Zena actually..." Lydia gritted her teeth, "Fortunately, she didn't get married with Xavier. Otherwise, she would definitely cause lots of troubles in our family!"
"Because I can't rest assured, and I'm angry."
"Well, believe me. It's just a small matter." After that, James put one hand on Lydia's shoulder, "Let's go. Elizabeth might have finished eating. Let's go in first."
When they entered the ward, Elizabeth had just put down her chopsticks. When she saw James and Lydia entering the ward one after another, she stared at James for a while and then smiled gently.
"Have you finished eating?"
"Yeah."
"Does the food taste good?" Lydia hurried over and asked with concern.
Elizabeth nodded with a smile, "Yeah. I feel very well now, just like ordinary times."
"That's good. Elizabeth, do you want to get up and have a walk?"
As soon as James heard this, James said with disapproval, "Don't get up! Didn't the doctor say that she has to lie on the bed recently? Except for going to the toilet, she has to lie on the bed at the time." Then he went to the bedside, covered Elizabeth with the quilt and sat on a chair aside, "Honey, you have to endure it these days, okay?"
"Oh." After Elizabeth said this, she opened her eyes wide in surprise, "Hey..."
"What's wrong?" James asked calmly without turning his head.
"Are you eating the food left by me?" Elizabeth whispered in disbelief. Wasn't James unwilling to eat that?
"Yeah." James said while chewing, "Honey, didn't I tell you we had to carry forward our wonderful traditions? It's a shame to waste food."
