Learning that Arielle would be the one operating on her made Susanne happy, especially since she knew how good her daughter-in-law was.
Arielle stayed by Susanne's side until nighttime. During the day, she taught the latter how to play poker with her phone as she was afraid that the older woman would get bored. Susanne had a wonderful time playing the game for the whole afternoon.
“Look at this guy, Sannie. Is he a robot? How can he play the cards so randomly? It's making me angry...”
“It's possible that a child who doesn't know the rules is playing with you right now.”
Just as Vinson arrived at the ward's entrance, he heard voices coming from inside. With a smile, he opened the door and saw the two women staring at a phone close to each other. It was a heartwarming sight.
“You're here, Vinson?” Susanne felt her neck getting sore after looking at the phone for too long. So, she gently hit the back of her neck with her hand as she raised her head. Then she saw him standing at the entrance with a silly smile. “Why are you standing there with a silly smile? Come in.”
His smile froze. This is a silly smile? I'm clearly smiling because I'm feeling happy and content. Is she blind? After the rambling in his mind ended, he closed the door and put the fruits in his hand on the table next to the bed. “What fruit do you want to eat, Mom?”
Upon hearing that, Susanne pointed at strawberries and grapes. “I want these two. Wash more of them.”
Once the fruits were cleaned, Vinson served them to his mother. She immediately grabbed the fruit plate and occasionally fed Arielle with a berry. Arielle would then smile at her sweetly.
The longer he stared, the more he felt something wasn't right. Err... shouldn't I be the one doing the feeding?
“Mom, you should rest—”
