Elizabeth was in a bad mood as she walked towards James's ward. Thinking about what Josephine said just now and the injuries on her body, she couldn't tell how she felt.
Josephine said that she hated her, and she felt a little helpless.
Josephine hated her, but she didn't think that she had done anything wrong. She just took back what belonged to her. Was she wrong? Was it her fault that they chose to live that kind of life?
"Honey, what are you thinking about?"
"What?" Elizabeth raised her head and looked at James who was standing outside the ward, "Why did you come out?"
"Waiting for you!" James raised his eyebrows, "You have been there for more than an hour, and you forgot to take your mobile phone." As he said this, he gently flicked her forehead, "Do you know how worried I am?"
"What are you worried about? I'm fine, aren't I?"
James snorted, "Why have you been out for so long?"
"I had dinner and then bought something."
She shook the pocket in her hand and was about to speak, but James reached out to take it, "Let me take this."
"You're still injured. It's not heavy." She insisted on carrying it on her own, "Let's go in. Don't stand here."
James followed her into the ward, "While you were walking just now, you lowered your head and looked unhappy. Did anyone provoke you?"
She didn't come back for a long time, and he called her but found that she didn't bring her phone. Later, he was worried and went out to find her. When he reached the door, he stopped, because he was afraid that he would miss her. He stood at the door and waited. So when she came over with the bag in her hand, he saw her expression clearly.
Hearing this, Elizabeth sighed softly and put down the things in her hands. Only then did she turn around and say to him, "When I came in just now, I met my aunt and Josephine."
James was stunned for a moment, "They? What are they doing here?"
"My aunt drank too much and she suffers from alcoholism."
"Oh." James was not very surprised, and his expression was bland.
Elizabeth thought for a moment and then said, "Well... Josephine said that she didn't bring any money with her. It was me who paid the fee." She was afraid that he would be unhappy, so she asked, "Will you be angry?"
James immediately shook her head and smiled, "You're still so kind."
Elizabeth pursed her lips and had no way to say what Josephine had said to her, but she knew she couldn't get the money back. "How could I be angry? It's not a big deal." Saying this, he rubbed her hair, "As long as you think it's right and you feel happy."
Elizabeth was slightly relieved, but she didn't get much happier, "They... seem to be living a hard life." She frowned hard, "Josephine seems to have a boyfriend. The man treats her badly and even beats her."
"Are you feeling bad?"
"A little." She stared at the ground, "She seems to think that they live such a life because of us, and that's why..."
Originally, James didn't think it was a big deal. Hearing this, he suddenly frowned and said with a sneer, "Ha! She is really shameless!" He finally understood why she looked so somber just now!
"Maybe... in her opinion, it's indeed because of us, although I don't think I'm wrong."
"Yeah, it's good that you can think like this." James held her shoulder with both hands, "The company and the house originally belonged to you. I don't know why they always feel that it was your fault and that you shouldn't have taken them back. Their opinion... Ugh!"
"What's more, darling, her life is her own choice, and it has nothing to do with you. Don't think that she is right and you're wrong just because of what she said. Remember, from the beginning to the end, you are not wrong at all."
"Okay." Elizabeth nodded.
