"What the f**k!"
As soon as Elizabeth woke up, she heard James cursing in a low voice with irritation and dissatisfaction.
Yeah, he really cursed in a low voice. If it weren't for the fact that it was very quiet in the ward, she probably wouldn't hear it.
He was too bored, wasn't he?
Since he said that he would stay with her, he had really been staying in the room except for answering the phone calls for work outside.
Except for dealing with business or sleeping, he could rarely stay alone quietly. If he was asked to sit quietly for half an hour, he would be annoyed, like a naughty child.
At this time...
Elizabeth opened her eyes and looked at the sky outside the window, guessing what time it was.
It had been more than 24 hours since he came back yesterday. He should feel very bored, shouldn't he?
Alas! Even she felt uncomfortable everyday, not to mention him. She was being watched all day. Except for going to the bathroom, she had to stay in bed all the time...
"James..." Elizabeth called him and tried to turn around, but when she saw the things in front of James, she suddenly paused.
James felt angry and wanted to lose his temper, but he smiled when he saw that Elizabeth had woken up, "Honey, are you awake?"
"What... are you doing?" Elizabeth stared straight at the mess in front of him, "Can you eat all of them?"
James was sitting on the sofa in the room. On the simple tea table in front of him, there were more than a dozen peeled apples. The apple on the edge of the table might have been peeled for a long time, and its color was a little dark. In front of the row of apples, there was a pile of apple parings, but all of them were small pieces of apple flesh.
Hearing her words, James remembered what he was doing.
He coughed awkwardly and then threw the fruit knife on the tea table, "Nothing."
"Why do you peel so many apples?" Elizabeth asked with a smile.
Looking at Elizabeth's smiling face, James felt so embarrassed. He said with annoyance,
"Because I want to eat apples. Is this okay?"
"But can you finish eating all of them?" Even though he had peeled lots of apple flesh, there were more than ten apples. How could he eat them all?
"I can eat them slowly." He would eat them sooner or later! Besides, he didn't really decide to eat them. He just wanted to practice peeling apples. Later, he could find a chance and throw hem away.
Elizabeth managed to stop herself laughing, "Did you do this because mom scolded you?"
"Am I so narrow-minded?" James could feel that his face was a little hot, but he tried his best to deny it, "Didn't you say that you want to eat the apple which could be peeled without a stop?"
"Oh." Elizabeth drawled and pretended to be suddenly enlightened, but in less than a few seconds, she continued, "But you just said that you wanted to eat it."
Elizabeth took two bites and then asked, "By the way, are you bored here?" In order to not affect her rest, he didn't watch TV, and seldom used his mobile phone. He used to play games with his mobile phone, but she didn't see him play it.
"No, fool, why do you ask like this?" In fact, he... lied to her.
When Elizabeth was not asleep, he could chat with her casually. But after she fell asleep, he was really like an old man. He didn't know what to do at all and felt uncomfortable all over.
However, when he thought that she also stayed here every day and had to lie on the bed all the time, he felt that it was not so bored to be here. She must feel more uncomfortable than him.
Moreover, in another two or three days, they could go home.
"Really?"
"Of course!"
"That's good. I'm just afraid that you'll feel bored. In fact, you can really..."
"Eat your apple and be careful not to be choked." James interrupted her and said, "Don't think about me. I am quite good."
"But you can't sleep well at night." This was a single ward, but the environment was not particularly good. In the evening, James could only sleep on the sofa or get the simple folding bed. He slept on the sofa last night. He was tall, and the sofa was short. Although he didn't complain when he got up, he moved his shoulders and pinched his neck from time to time. It seemed that he didn't sleep very well.
"I'm fine. Don't worry about me. Besides, we'll go back in two days." Perseverance did win out.
"Okay, I see. By the way, Did Samuel come here today because of something in the company?"
