She coughed lightly to cover up her discomfort and changed the topic. "Lucas will be back in two days. I promised him that I would pick him up with you."
This morning, Bert sent a message saying that the plane would land in Jewel City the night after tomorrow.
When Huston thought of his son, the look in his eyes softened. "Alright, I've promised to pick him up for so long. I can finally fulfill it."
Evelyn couldn't help curling her lips when she thought of how Lucas had been asking her for father for the past six months. "Yes, if you didn't come back soon, he might blame you."
"When the time comes, I will bribe him and follow him in snacks, amusement parks, and ice cream."
While they were talking, the elevator arrived and entered the ward with food. Lucy was feeding Ben water. When she saw them coming in, she was a little surprised. "There aren't many people in the canteen. Why did you come up so soon?"
Huston placed the ordered tonic soup on the table. As soon as he opened the thermos, a fragrant scent filled the room. It wasn't the smell of the essence seasoning, but a particularly strong fragrance that came from the ingredients themselves.
"Uncle Ben just had an operation and needs nourishment. The food in the cafeteria isn't nutritious enough, so I ordered some tonic soup," said Huston indifferently. At the same time, he scooped out a bowl and handed it to Lucy.
"You don't have to go through so much trouble. Anyway, we're in the hospital. Just make do with it." Lucy took it, but she was touched.
She didn't expect Huston to be so meticulous as a person who usually looks superior.
Ben's recovery after the operation was good, and he didn't need to be inserted in the diaper to avoid suffering a little. Lucy held the bowl and blew on it until it was at a moderate temperature. Evelyn helped him wipe his mouth from time to time to prevent the soup from flowing into his neck.
"Mom, have a rest after lunch. Huston and I will stay here and keep an eye on Dad." After serving Ben his meal, Evelyn worried her. After all, she was old, and she was afraid that her body would not be able to take it.
"You don't have to worry about me. There's a bed here. Doctor Lane has arranged for a nurse to take care of your father. It won't take much effort." Lucy quickly waved her hand.
"But..."
Lucy interrupted her. "Your father will be more flustered if I don't stay here. The operation today has been a lot of trouble. Go next door and take a nap. I'll call you if I need anything."
