Sure enough, when I asked this question, she was silent.
Daisy didn’t speak for a long time. I was not worried. I waited patiently.
After about seven or eight seconds, Daisy said, “I want to marry him and have the baby, but...”
“But what?”
“I’m afraid.”
Daisy’s voice was calm.
She had always been lively and bold. Her tone today let me know that she was serious.
She was really hesitating.
I took the phone and said, “how about I give you an idea as an outsider?”
“OK.”
Daisy replied.
I took the phone and thought for a moment before I said, “I think Jack is very good and suitable for you.
He cares about you, and you don’t have to be afraid of marriage. As long as you don’t lose yourself in
this marriage, you don’t have to worry about what he does.”
“How can I lose myself?”
Daisy said at once.
I nodded, “yes, as long as you take your husband and children as your whole and become a full-time
wife, I think you won’t be afraid even if there are changes in the future.”
I was not saying full-time wives were bad.
But in this society, she needed to think about herself.
What was more, Jack used to be a playboy. Even if he had changed, he couldn’t guarantee that he
wouldn’t be bored with Daisy in the future.
In case he got bored with Daisy one day and had an affair, Daisy didn’t have to worry.
Daisy listened to me and said decisively, “of course, I won’t be a full-time wife. I can’t do housework
and I can’t cook. How can I be a full-time wife?”
“If you marry him, you are rich and don’t have to do these things. You can water the flowers, walk the
dog and watch TV plays every day.”
I said with a smile.
“That’s so boring. I’d better work. I get more satisfaction in my work than that.”
Daisy said firmly.
Then I asked her, “by the way, have you met Jack’s parents?”
“Of course I have.”
“His parents...”
“His parents know their son. They like me!”
I see.
Parents knew their children. Jack had always been a playboy. Now he met a girl who changed him. I
thought no matter what background Daisy had, his parents were willing.
I was completely relieved, “then I’ll wait for you to invite me to have a wedding wine!”
“No problem!”
Daisy promised.
Lester spent a week in the Sunshine Hospital.
The fever had subsided and his vital signs had stabilized.
Briana brought food to Lester and me.
Today Briana sent us vegetables, ribs, fish soup and rice.
Lester’s appetite recovered well and he ate a large bowl of rice at once.
It was a nice day, so I wanted to apply with the doctor to take Lester for a walk.
The doctor looked at Lester’s recent situation and soon agreed.
Briana accompanied me and took Lester to the back yard of the hospital.
The backyard was a small garden. There were many benches around it. Many patients were sitting on
the benches in the sun.
“Miss Jones.”
I wanted to take Lester away, but someone called me behind me.
I looked back and saw Marcia behind me.
“Marcia?”
I was a little surprised and immediately handed Lester over to Briana and walked over.
Marcia had a cloth hat. I could see at a glance that there was no hair under her hat.
I couldn’t help but froze. I asked, “Marcia, you...”
“I’m here for treatment.” She asked me in disbelief, “didn’t Ming tell you?”
Ming?
When she said that, I didn’t know what happened, but I realized it.
I went over and took Marcia’s hand and said, “Marcia, congratulations.”
“Thank you.” Marcia was in a wheelchair and looked up and said, “maybe if you didn’t push us, Ming
and I would really miss each other.”
I sat on the bench and shook my head. “I didn’t do anything. I just...” I paused and said, “I just wanted
to wait for Sean, so I wanted to ask you for help.”
“But you did help us.” Marcia looked at me. “Ming told me that after knowing that I was ill, he had
shaken. What really made him decide to give up was that you were drunk that night and cried and
begged him.”
“That night?”
“Yes.” Marcia nodded. “He said that when he saw you cry and say you didn’t want to marry him, he
realized for the first time that he had done something wrong.”
I see.
Marcia smiled. “So he said he will not go to your son’s ward until he has to. He is afraid to see you. He
thinks he owes you.”
I smiled and didn’t speak.
At this time, Briana took Lester far away. When I was looking for Lester, I found Ming standing at a far
corner in a white coat.
Because we were so far away, I didn’t know if he was watching me or Marcia.
I thought about it and said to Marcia, “Marcia, have a good rest. I have to go.”
I got up and hugged Marcia and said, “I wish you a speedy recovery.”
“Thank you.”
Marcia waved at me.
When I got up and looked up again, I found Ming was not where he was.
But I still went that way. When I just came to the corner, I saw Ming standing by.
He was wearing glasses and smiling. He looked at me and said, “are you looking for me?”
“Yes.” I looked at Ming, “how’s Marcia?”
“Now that she’s here, I’m sure I’ll cure her.” He said.
I was relieved to hear that.
And I was sure he would do what he said, “that’s good.”
Ming’s clear eyes were serious. He came to me suddenly.
We were not far away.
After only a few steps, he came to me and we were less than half a meter away.
I couldn’t help but froze and looked up at him.
He suddenly said, “can I give you a hug?”
When I hesitated, he added, “last time.”
I looked up and nodded, “OK.”
He opened his arms and held me tightly in his arms.
He was strong and held me tight. It was like I was going to disappear in front of him.
At this time, for the first time, I smelt the smell of Ming through the disinfection water.
It was a light and exclusive smell.
His short hair rubbed against my cheek.
I was held by him and motionless.
After a few seconds or so, I heard him say to me, “I’m sorry.”
