Chapter 341: Sudden Intimacy
Jackson arrived with the thermos, 10 to 5:30, just in time for dinner.
The nurse saw him coming and left.
Alva put the book down and got up. “What did you cook?”
He was back almost three hours ago.
Jackson put the tub on the table and looked at her fondly. “Guess what.”
Alva laughs, “I’m sure I can guess this time,” nutritious soup and nutritious porridge.”
“And most likely it’s a stew of big supplements.”
Jackson saw the twinkle in her eyes and the smile in her eyes. “Looks pretty confident.”
“Of course.”
Rarely seen with such confidence, Jackson’s lips parted and he opened the insulated bucket.
A pungent smell suddenly hit Alva, looking at the thermal bucket, is indeed a nutritious soup, or chicken soup.
That’s a hell of a catch.
Jackson took it out one by one, put it on the table, and then Alva stopped talking.
On the table were chicken soup, fish soup, bone soup, neatly laid out
before her.
Alva could not laugh or cry when she looked at the soup.
“I’ll get a nosebleed if I eat like this.”
Jackson touched her face. “We’ll eat together.”
Make it up together.
“All right.”
After dinner, Jackson cleared the table. Alva said, “Jackson, is Grandpa out of the hospital yet?”
Jackson a meal.
He called mom the other day after Alva was stable, checking on grandpa.
Mom said grandpa is recovering well and will be out of the hospital in a few days.
It’s been a few days.
“Should be discharged.”
‘What’s the matter?
Jackson looked at Alva.
“I want to see my grandpa when I get out of the hospital,” Alva said.
Jackson’s hands stopped moving.
Alva said, “I’ve been working with someone else for a few days, and everything is going well with him. I want to take two days off to visit Grandpa in Washington.”
Jackson looked into her eyes and clenched his hands. “Okay.”
He had not expected her to offer to visit Grandpa.
But she said it, her eyes were so serious, he was happy.
Three days later, Alva was discharged.
Jackson booked a flight to Washington the next morning.
If we said we’d get out of here and go to Washington, go.
Only, “It seems to be a cold day.”
Alva walked out of the hospital and felt a chill.
“Is it cold?”
Jackson held her hand. It was cold.
“A little, I think it’s getting colder today.”
There’s no sun today. It’s cloudy.
But she knew that autumn had been over for almost a month.
It’s September now.
Cooling is normal.
