Theresa sat down next to her and Elizabeth said with a smile, âDoraâs cooking is pretty good. You try it and see if it tastes good to you.â
Armand poured the soup for Theresa, âI think itâs good. You can have some.â He placed the soup in front of Theresa.
Elizabeth looked at Theresa and said, âTheresa, you are too thin. You need to eat more and get better, so you canâ¦â
âGrandma!â Armand interrupted her, thinking she was going to say something about the baby.
Elizabeth wasnât very happy. Before Armand wouldnât have been so mean to her. But he had even disconnected with her because of the baby.
âI didnât say anything. You donât have to be so mean to me.â Elizabeth looked aggrieved.
She felt her grandson had changed.
âGrandma, Armand didnât mean anything else.â Theresa handed Armand the soup she had brought him, âHeâs hurt and upset. Grandma, youâre not mad at him, are you?â.
Elizabeth looked at her and said, âHow can I really be mad at him? This soup is for you.â
Elizabeth put the soup back in front of Theresa, took her hand and said, âI didnât mean anything by it. Itâs just that Iâve heard that itâs not easy for women to get eggs and that you need very good quality eggs to breed easily. I see youâre too thin and Iâm afraid you wonât be able to endure this suffering when the time comes, so I want you to improve your body.â
Theresa felt a shiver down her spine, how did Mrs. Bernie know this?
âGrandma, youâ¦â
âIâve gone to ask everything. You and Armand are young, itâs still easy to do IVF. The only difficulty now is finding the right personâ¦â
âGrandma.â Armand interrupted her before Elizabeth could finish her sentence, âIâll take care of that. You have leg problems, so leave it aloneâ¦â
âLeave it alone?â Elizabeth looked at him sternly, âIf I wait for you to do it, how long will I have to wait?â
âGrandmaâ¦â
âDonât say anything. I have the doctor for you. I know there are good hospitals in B-town and the technology is well established. In a few days, when you are better, you and Theresa will go to the hospital for a physical.â
Armand hadnât expected Elizabeth to start talking about it on their first day home, which had caught him off guard.
And she had specifically found out.
âGrandma, who told you that B-Town has such a good, technology-proven hospital?â
Dora chimed in, âIâ¦. I helped Grandma find it on the Internetâ¦â
Armand frowned. He knew the young man didnât appreciate the importance of things. If she had been the previous babysitter, how could she have done something like that?
He said in a gravelly voice, âWho let you touch the computer? If I lose something, can you be held responsible?â.
There really wasnât anything important on the home computer, so there was no password. I was just angry at her for being nosy.
Elizabeth, who was disabled and didnât know how to use smartphones or computers or anything smart like that, had to do what he wanted in the end.
He had it all figured out and now this new nanny had ruined everything!
âIâm sorry⦠Iâm sorryâ¦â Dora lowered her head and apologized repeatedly.
Her face was pale and she looked terrified.
She hadnât expected Armand to be so mean.
âDonât give her a hard time. Iâve asked her to check for me. What, I canât check?â Elizabethâs eyes widened.
Armand closed his eyes and grew more and more impatient, âWhat you find on the Internet may not be true. You have to go to the hospital to check it out. Besides, every doctor is differentâ¦â
âCan I still not know? Iâm just old, not stupid. I went to the hospital yesterday to find out. This hospital has a ninety percent chance of success. Where else can you find such a good hospital? Arenât all the good hospitals in the country in B-town?â
Armand pursed his lips and said nothing.
Theresa felt tired. She had not expected such an unpleasant entanglement on her first day home.
âDora, go and get to work.â Elizabeth waved her hand.
Dora lowered her head and walked away.
The mood at the table was depressing and no one was talking.
Elizabeth was the first to open her mouth, âYou donât want to make it in City B and you want to go to City C, right?â.
It didnât take Elizabeth long to understand why she was reacting so strongly. If not, what other reason would she have for refusing?
Theresa had said yes, what else could she have to say?
Could it be Theresa?
He turned his head to Theresa, âTheresa, you can talk to me about anything. I know youâre aggravated, but you know Iâ¦â
âI know.â Theresa said, âThatâs fine. Just do it at the hospital you said.â
âTheresa, I knew you knew me best and that you were understanding.â
Elizabeth took her hand again, but Theresa pushed it away, âYou should eat. The food is getting cold.â
There was a large table with delicious food, but everything was bland.
Theresa didnât want any more trouble. When she finished her bowl of rice, she got up and left the table.
Armand didnât even move his chopsticks and just sat there.
Elizabeth returned to her room without having eaten more than a few bites.
It was clear that the talk had not been pleasant this time.
â¦
Noahâs wedding was held outside. It was a cloudy day and not very warm.
Not many guests came, and they were all friends and family worthy of deep friendship. The Harris Family and the Chambers Family had gone through ups and downs and not many people were still close to them.
The rest were Noah and Chloeâs friends from the military.
The wedding was scheduled by a fortune teller, who said that 1:30 p.m. was the best time.
So the wedding was held at that time.
