Sandra cleared her throat and asked, "Are you hungry? I cooked some oatmeal and added some fruits. Come and try it."
"I’ll wait for Wesley." Shea and Sandra walked toward the kitchen together.
"Then have a boiled egg. Wesley told me last night to get up early today and make breakfast. He said I mustn’t let you go hungry." Sandra gave her a boiled egg and then carried out some freshly baked goods from the oven. "I cooked some macaroni as well, so feel free to just eat whatever you feel like having. Don't be shy."
"I’m not hungry yet. You should take a seat and rest for a while, Aunt Sandra!" Shea said politely.
"You’re so considerate, Shea. I'm not surprised that Wesley likes you so much." Sandra grew even fonder of Shea with every passing glance. Did your brother say anything when you didn't go home last night?"
"No. He knows that Wesley and I have a good relationship, so he’s not going to say anything." Shea sat down at the table, tapped the boiled egg on the table, and carefully peeled the shell. "Wesley and I are planning to get our marriage certificate in a week. Did he tell you about that?"
"Oh? He didn't." Sandra sat down beside her. "Have you both decided?"
"Yeah. I brought the family register," she said. Wesley just so happened to come out of the room once he was done with her clothes.
He walked to the dining table, sat down, and asked with a smile, "What are you two talking about?"
Shea immediately handed him the peeled egg. "I told Aunt Sandra that we're going to get our marriage certificate in a week."
Wesley nodded, then turned to his mother." Mom, I'm going to officially tell you now that Shea and I have decided to get married.
"Your father and I have no objections at all. We’re more concerned about Elliot..." Sandra was a little worried.
"I've already told Avery about it and she'll help me if my brother gets angry." Shea did not seem to worry that her plan might be thwarted.
Even if Avery did not help her, Elliot would eventually agree to her marriage with Wesley.
After breakfast, S?b*>XKV
Shea was watching television in the living room.
When the doctor saw her, he immediately strode toward her and said, "Happy new year, Miss Tate. I heard that you have a head injury. I'll take a look."
Avery's glanced at Elliot. He had changed into a fresh set of clothes and had an attentive expression as he looked at her with a torch-like gaze.
"I'm fine. I put some ointment last night." She shrugged it off and asked Elliot," Where are the kids?"
"I told Mrs. Cooper to take them out for the new year visits," he replied. "I told her I wanted to accompany you at home because you were injured."
Avery was speechless. The family doctor was a little awkward. "Perhaps I can just examine your injury, Miss Tate! That way, Mr. Foster wouldn't have to worry so much. Elliot called the family doctor at seven that morning and requested his services. The doctor arrived an hour later and waited until Avery woke up. Avery did not want to make his job any more difficult, so she went to the sofa and sat down to show him the injury.
"That's...quite serious!" The doctor exclaimed after seeing her injury. "I think you should get it checked at the hospital."
Elliot was afraid that Avery would not believe the extent of the injury's severity, so he took a picture of it with his cell phone and showed it to her. She took his phone and looked carefully at the photos.
