Upon hearing Bonnie’s words, Dolores looked over at Andrew, only to find that he looked quite normal now. He was chatting with Jessica.
“Did Andrew have any conflicts with Aunt Chloe?” Bonnie believed that there must be some reason.
Dolores didn’t hide anything from her, telling her what had happened.
“How could Aunt Chloe have done that?” Bonnie also didn’t think Chloe had done something right.
They were in a modern era. How could she look upon the family background so much?
Even a civilian has married the royal princess of England. Bonnie wondered why Chloe looked at the family backgrounds so much.
Dolores patted her. “Just pretend as if nothing happened. Or Andrew would feel quite uneasy.”
Bonnie nodded sensibly. “I know.”
In the evening, Dolores made the herb soup for Andrew. She felt quite uncertain. It wasn’t because she didn’t believe in Evelyn, but Andrew’s eyes were injured. She wondered if the Chinese medicine would cure him.
She gave the bowl of herb soup to Andrew. “Let’s have a checkup in the hospital after the funeral.”
Andrew knew what she was worried about. He said, “My eyes were not injured. They were poisoned. The western medicine wouldn’t cure them.”
Dolores was so panicked. “Poisoned?”
“No worries, Mom. I’ll be fine.” Andrew was afraid to scare her, but it seemed she was still frightened. “How could I be so careless about my own eyes? Don’t worry, Mom.”
Dolores heaved a sigh. "Can you have a longer vacation now?"
Andrew nodded. "Of course. I haven't taken any break in the past several years. Now I have three months' vacation."
Dolores touched the bowl and ensured the temperature was low. She passed it to him. “Drink the soup.”
Andrew smiled and wanted to relax her. “Mom, please feed me,” he said.
Dolores burst into laughter. “How old are you now?”
“No matter how old I am, I’m still your son.” After Andrew grew up, it was quite rare for him to play at being cute to her. Dolores got a spoon and took the bowl from his hands. Then she started feeding him. “Is it bitter?”
Andrew nodded. “This herb soup is extremely bitter.”
