Let's Get Married

Lily coughs lightly to hide her uneasiness and changes the topic, "Adair will be back soon. I promised him we would pick him up at the airport."

This morning, Ryan texted her that they would arrive in J City the night after tomorrow.

Rex thinks of his son and his expression softens a little. "Alright. I made a promise to pick him up long ago. I can finally fulfill it."

Lily remembers the way Adair asked for his dad, and unknowingly smiles. "True. If you don't do that, he will resent you for it."

"When the time comes, I will repay him with snacks, like ice-cream, or take him to amusement parks. Whatever he wants."

As they speak, the elevator arrives. Bree is feeding water to Harry as they carry the food into the ward. Bree is a little surprised to see them. "Isn't the cafeteria crowded? How come you are back so soon?"

Rex places the tonic soup on the table. As soon as he unscrews the lid of the thermos, a pungent fragrance pervades the ward. It doesn't smell like the seasoning, but the ingredients themselves.

"You need to eat something nutritive to recover faster. The cafeteria food can't provide you with enough nutrition. I ordered some tonic soup," Rex says calmly as he hands a bowl of soup to Bree.

"You didn't need to do this. Hospital food is fine." Bree takes it and feels touched.

Rex seems to be so unapproachable. She had no idea he could be so thoughtful.

Harry recovers well. There is no need to insert him the esophagus, so he doesn't suffer much. Bree blows every spoonful to cool it down a bit. Lily wipes his mouth from time to time to prevent the soup from flowing onto his neck.

"Mom, rest after dinner. Rex and I will stay here and watch him." After Harry has dinner, Lily offers to help, afraid that Bree will tire herself out since she is no longer young.

"You don't have to worry about me. There's a bed for me. Besides, a caretaker will come. I will be fine." Bree quickly waves her hand.
