As time went by, Lydia was very restless. Her stomach was still swollen, but Elizabeth hadn't come back.
It was almost half-past eleven in the morning, and they were going to have lunch soon.
She tried to walk, but it tortured her so much, so she could only give up.
Moreover, she was obviously very uncomfortable, but she had to try her best to maintain her image, and she couldn't gulp in pain with her face twisted.
At this moment, she did not blame Elizabeth. After all, Elizabeth was pregnant, and she was kind enough to go back to get the medicine for her. She couldn't ask too much, could she?
Therefore, she sat quietly in her seat and silently endured the uncomfortable feeling which was caused by eating so much.
"Mom."
As soon as Lydia heard the voice, she was delighted and immediately turned back. When she saw James, she frowned slightly and felt a little guilty.
However, she was experienced, so she immediately smiled, "Jimmy, what a coincidence! Are you here to play?"
James looked at Lydia, pursed his thin lips and then said blandly, "It's not a coincidence."
"Ah?" Lydia blinked a few times, "What's wrong?"
James did not speak. He walked to the table where Lydia sat and put a medicine bottle on it, "Eat it."
Seeing the words on the bottle clearly, Lydia opened her eyes wide and then looked at James's face, "Why do you give me this? I don't eat it. Do you want me to get sick?"
"Are you sure?"
"Of course!" Lydia nodded with hesitation, "Why do I need this?"
"But Elizabeth said that you came out to eat and then had a stomachache, so she asked me to send you the medicine that helps digest food as soon as possible. Is she wrong?"
Lydia was shocked as if she had been struck by lightning, and her face changed.
At this moment, with her understanding of James, she knew that she could no longer lie or make an excuse. After all, she asked for it that day.
However, did Elizabeth betray her?
"Let's go. You don't feel well, do you? Why are you still sitting here?"
"Jimmy..." Lydia smiled awkwardly, "Are you... angry?"
James said gloomily, "Of course not. How dare I be angry with you, mom?"
Lydia smiled, "Jimmy, I knew you're the best."
Hearing this, James also smiled, "Yeah, I am very good, but I don't know if dad will be as generous as me."
Humph! Since Lydia dared to take Elizabeth out and eat snacks with her, how could he let her go like this? When they got home, he would definitely embroider the truth in front of John!
"Let's go. I drove here. Let's go home first."
Lydia remained silent.
"Mom, don't be angry. I didn't mean to betray you." Being a traitor really felt bad.
"Alas!" Lydia sighed heavily, and then walked into the room, "Stop talking about this. I know it's not your fault. I can only blame myself. I shouldn't have asked you to eat with me. Fortunately, you are all right now. Otherwise, Jimmy and John would be really mad. In fact, they can't blame me, can they? I knew that you wanted to eat this food very much. This is not my fault, right?"
Elizabeth didn't speak. Thinking of what had happened before, she tried her best to hold back her laughter. But in order not to make Lydia embarrassed, she had to nod, "Yeah, this is not your fault."
"You also think so, right? It's all Jimmy's fault! He's so crafty and annoying! I'm such an open and aboveboard person. How can I have such a son? This is so terrible!" "Yeah." "Who's crafty? Huh? What's wrong with me?"
"Oh!" Lydia patted her chest and looked back at James reproachfully, "What are you doing? You scared me!"
With a bland expression on his face, James didn't reply to her words and said, "Mom, since it's your fault, don't think about shifting the blame onto others. You taught me this way when I was a child, right? My wife is still young. You can't teach her this way."
Lydia was stunned and felt that her face was a little hot. She chuckled, "Elizabeth won't do it, right?"
Elizabeth nodded and then tipped a wink at James.
However, James acted as if he didn't see it and took Elizabeth's hand, "Let's go for lunch. Auntie Chang cooked soup for you."
Elizabeth was not hungry, but she didn't dare to refuse, so she had to follow him obediently.
Lydia did not care whether James had called her or not and followed them downstairs.
James suddenly stopped, turned around and said lightly, "By the way, mom, dad said that you don't have to eat lunch today. Besides, you're not hungry now, are you?"
