Brian woke up the next morning. Although he was drunk last night, it was his most solid sleep.
Winnie was lying next to him. Listening to her symmetrical breathing, he knew she was still asleep.
Gently approached Winnie's face, and kissed her gently on her forehead.
The Johnson's villa.
Breakfast on the table.
"Thomas, is Rufus still in the hospital?"
Felix asked Thomas as he ate.
"Yes, but he will be discharged soon."
Thomas still didn't know whether he should tell his father about Rufus's condition, so he gave this answer.
But Maria suddenly added something.
"The surgery hasn't been done yet, so how come he will be discharged soon?"
Maria did it on purpose, she just wanted Felix to know it.
"Surgery? What surgery? What happened to Rufus?"
Felix frowned and stopped eating.
Thomas stared at Maria.
"When will you learn to shut up?"
"Didn't you say that you would tell dad if it was not cancer? I thought Dad knew."
Maria's explanation made Felix nervous.
"What cancer? How id Rufus. Why didn't anyone tell me?"
Felix stood up as he said, he wanted to go to the hospital immediately to see what was going on.
"Dad, it's not cancer, don't worry."
"Sit down and eat and I will tell you."
Thomas hurriedly stopped his father, and then glared at Maria fiercely.
Felix was persuaded to sit down, but he was still worried.
"Rufus has a tumor in the lungs, but it is not malignant. He will have the operation in these two days, and will be fine after the tumor is removed."
Thomas had to say, otherwise his father would worry about Rufus more.
"Why no one tells me it? You are all hiding it from me."
Felix was angry. Although, Rufus did not have a cancer, he was still worried.
"We are afraid that you would be worried. You are over 90? We are afraid that you will fall ill."
Thomas was still explaining, understanding his father's reaction.
"I should know it even I am ninety."
"I'm not eating anymore."
