As expected, when I asked this question, Lisa on the other side of the phone was silent.
She remained silent for a long time, so I waited for her patiently.
About seven or eight seconds later, Lisa said, "I want to marry him. I want to give birth to the baby, but..."
"But?" I asked.
"I'm scared."
Lisa's voice was very low.
She had always been careless, which gave people the feeling that she was not afraid of anything. Today, as she said in such a tone, I know that she was serious.
She was really in a dilemma.
With the phone in my hand, I said, "How about I come up with some ideas for you, then? I'm just an outsider."
"All right."
Lisa only replied with simple words.
I held the phone and thought for a while before I said, "I think that Roger is very good and very suitable for you. He cares about you very much. And you don't have to be afraid of marriage. As long as you don't lose yourself in this marriage, you don't have to worry about anything about him."
"How can I get lost?"
Lisa immediately said with disdain.
I nodded. "Yes, as long as you don't deem your husband and children as all things of your life and be a housewife like other women. Even if there are changes in the future, you don't need to be afraid."
There is no fault of a full-time wife.
But in modern society, women needed to think for themselves.
What's more, Roger had a history of love affairs. Even if he was a returned prodigal son now, it couldn't guarantee that he would never get tired of the marriage.
In case he would get tired of the marriage one day and flirt with other girls, Lisa would not have to worry about him if she was independent.
Lisa listened to me and said decisively, "Of course, I won't be a full- time wife. I can't even do housework and cook. How can I be a full-time wife?"
"If you marry him, you will be a rich lady, so you don't have to do these things. You can only raise flowers, walk dogs, do spa, and watch TV series
every day."
I said with a smile.
"How boring would that be? Then I'll still work. I'll be more satisfied with work than these things."
Lisa said firmly.
Then I asked her, "By the way, have you met Roger's parents?"
"Of course I have."
"Then how do his parents..."
"His parents know what kind of person their son is, and they like me very much!"
Upon hearing Lisa's explanation, I immediately understood what she meant.
That's right. They knew their son better than others. Roge had been a playboy for so many years, and now once he had met a woman he wants to marry, his parents would agree no matter how are Lisa's status and background like.
On this aspect, my heart was finally at ease. "Then I'll wait for you to invite me to a wedding feast!"
"No problem!"
Lisa promised immediately.
Glenn had been treated in the Glorious Light Hospital for a week.
The fever had also subsided, and his vital signs had also stabilized.
These days, it's Janice who delivered food to me and Glenn.
Today, Janice sent food again. There were vegetables, ribs, fish soup, and rice.
Glenn's appetite recovered well, and he ate a big bowl of food in a short time.
After the meal, I found that the weather outside was good, so I wanted to apply to the doctor to see if I could take Glenn out for a walk.
The doctor checked Glenn's situation and soon agreed.
Janice went to the backyard of the hospital with me.
There was a small garden in the backyard, surrounded by many benches. Many patients were sitting on benches, basking in the sun.
"Miss Nolan."
