"Don't go, you're pregnant and busy with work. The hospital is a bustling place. What if you catch a germ and get sick?"
Isaac immediately stopped her.
Brittany thought he made a good point.
"Alright, I won't go. You can visit when you have time. We don't want them to think no one cares about them."
"I really did marry a kind-hearted wife."
Isaac caressed her face, kissed her lips, sweet as always, ready for more.
Suddenly, the ring of a phone interrupted their intimate moment, Brittany stiffened slightly.
"There's a call."
Isaac's good mood was disrupted by the phone call, a bit annoyed, he took out his cell phone. It was the nanny taking care of Joie.
Why was she calling at this time?
Had Joie's condition worsened?
Isaac let go and answered the call. Joie's voice came from the other end, "Isaac, my wound hurts so much. Could you ask the doctor to prescribe me some painkillers..."
"Hold on, I'll talk to the doctor."
Brittany's hearing was excellent. She overheard the female voice on the phone and felt a twinge in her heart.
A woman was calling?
...
After communicating with the doctor, Isaac managed to get a day's worth of painkillers for Joie. Her eyes were red and she kept thanking him.
"Rest well. If anything comes up, contact me."
"Okay, I got it." Joie smiled, hung up, politely saw the doctor out, and then sent a text message.
[All is well.]
There was no response.
Isaac hung up and returned to the living room. Brittany looked over, "Was that the person who saved grandma?"
"Yeah, her wound hurts. I asked the doctor for some painkillers for her."
Isaac put down his cell phone, prepared a plate of fruit for Brittany, and handed it to her.
Brittany wasn't usually sensitive, but for some reason, the image of a candy flashed in her mind.
Unaware of this, Isaac gently caressed her belly; ever since Brittany became pregnant, he had developed a special fondness for doing so.
