Xavier arrived at Elizabeth's ward, knocked on the door and entered. Elizabeth was the only one in the ward. At this time, she was leaning against the bed and looking out of the window. No one knew what she was thinking about.
Seeing Xavier, Elizabeth was a little surprised at first, and then she said with a smile, "Xavier..." As soon as she said this, she stuck out her tongue, "Sebastian, why do you have time to come here?"
"I just came back from another city, and I heard from aunt that you're in the hospital, so I came to see you." Saying this, Xavier gently closed the door and walked toward Elizabeth, "How are you? How do you feel now?"
"I feel much better." Elizabeth said honestly, "It's good that you're here. You don't have to buy flowers."
"Well, I saw the flowers on my way here. They are very beautiful, so I bought them. Originally, I wanted to bring you a painting, but I thought it would not be convenient for you to bring it back."
"Yeah." Elizabeth nodded, "Even if I'm at home, you don't have to give me a painting. Just keep it and then sell it at a good price. If I want to see your paintings, I'll go to your gallery. However, the flowers are really beautiful. Thank you."
Hearing this, Xavier smiled tenderly. He put the bouquet on the bedside table, "It's just a picture. You don't have to stand on ceremony. Besides, I'm about to be an uncle. I can afford to give you a painting as a gift." He bought the bunch of flowers after coming out of the cafe, and it was quite lovely.
"Let's talk about it in the future."
"By the way, why are you here alone? Hasn't Jimmy come here?" Lydia told him that Jimmy had not been to the company recently, and he thought that he would see him here.
"Oh, I asked him to go down to buy me some fruits. He seldom goes out except for answering the phone. I've been quite sleepy recently. Sometimes, I suddenly fell asleep when he was talking to me. He is afraid of disturbing me, so he doesn't watch TV or play with his mobile phone. I don't want him to be bored, so I asked him to go down and buy some fruits." In this way, she could have an reasonable excuse to let James go down and take a walk, couldn't she?
Hearing this, Xavier did not know why, but he felt very relieved in heart. This was a kind of happy feeling. On the one hand, he was glad to see Elizabeth get her happiness, as if Elizabeth was his friend whom he had known for many years. On the other hand, he was satisfied because she lived a good life, as if he was an elder and she was someone he cared about.
He touched Elizabeth's head uncontrollably, "This is actually very good."
When they first met, Elizabeth was just a little girl, and she had grown up. She had her own family and her husband, and she was going to be a mother soon. Her life was almost perfect, right? Even after she had suffered something unpleasant, she finally weathered the storm.
Elizabeth's body stiffened when Xavier touched her. She remembered that in the past, James got unhappy because she talked too much with Xavier.
Xavier's behavior didn't make her disgusted, and he did not do anything else improper. When they on the mountain, he did the same thing to her. However, she felt that it was not very good. Although she thought that James owed Xavier, and she really wanted to compensate Xavier and care about him more, she...
She wanted to shrink back subconsciously, but Xavier took away his hand before she took any action.
"Auntie has told me the whole story." Xavier said with a gentle smile and didn't feel awkward at all, "You should have a good rest."
Seeing that he loosened his hand and said something else, Elizabeth was relieved and said with a smile, "Well, I know. Besides, James and mom pay special attention to me now, and I can't go out even if I want to. Look at me. I'm either eating or sleeping. I have to lie on bed all the time. This is so boring."
"They do this for your own good. I was startled when aunt told me that. By sheer luck you are all right now. Lying on the bed is good for your health. Jimmy, aunt and uncle can rest assured in this way."
"Well, I know. I am so bored so I complained casually." As she said this, she stuck out her tongue, "Moreover, I don't dare to say these words to James. If he hears these words, he will went berserk."
