Let's Get Married novel Chapter 580

On the second day after returning home, Eunice goes straight to the hospital. When Eunice receives the money from Ryan, Lorraine finally has her surgery. She recovers well after the operation and is getting better every day.

Eunice has been out of the country for a long time. Lorraine only thinks that she is on a business trip. She has missed her daughter, but she is afraid that she will get in the way of her work, so she has endured it. Now she sees Eunice has returned, and her eyes turn red.

"Eunice, when did you come back?" Lorraine quickly sits up from the bed and holds her daughter's hands tightly.

Eunice is moved. Noticing that Lorraine's complexion is somewhat rosy, she heaves a sigh of relief and says, "Mom, I came back yesterday. I went home first and chatted with Thomas before coming over. How are you?"

"Very good. I'm just fine." Lorraine nods quickly. "I feel much better now, and I'm recovering well. Yesterday, Zack told me if nothing unexpected came up in next week's examination, I can be discharged from the hospital."

"Really?" Eunice is overjoyed. "I didn't see Zack. I'll talk to him later."

"Yes." Lorraine sees how tired her daughter looks and feels sad for her. "You've been taking care of your brother and me for so many years. Now that I'm well, I don't need to stay in the hospital, and we can save a lot of money. After I am discharged, I can go to work to earn some cash for the family. You'll have a smaller burden then."

"Mom, what did you say?" Eunice looks at her reproachfully and continues, "You're my mother. I should care for you. I am not under that much pressure as you said. Recover quickly. Then Thomas and I can rest assured!"

The mother and daughter's conversation is heard by Rebecca Wood on the bed beside them. She looks over in envy and says, "Lorraine, your daughter is so filial. Even your son can't compete with her on this!"

Eunice is young, but she has been busy trying to help Lorraine with her illness, and she has never complained about it. The other patients in the ward have been praising her endlessly. Now that Lorraine is getting better, they are all happy for her!

Lorraine is happy to hear someone say nice things about her daughter. She smiles kindly and replies, "Yes. I am so lucky to have her in my life!"

They haven't seen each other for long. Lorraine has so much to talk to her about. They chat until lunch time. Lorraine is healthy enough to go to the canteen to buy lunch with Eunice, and Lorraine also needs some walk.

The canteen is crowded. Eunice buys two bowls of millet porridge, a serving of garlic broccoli, a serving of scrambled tomatoes and eggs, and a serving of sweet and sour tenderloin. They both hold thermos in their hands on the way back. Lorraine hooks her arm around her daughter's and asks, "Eunice, what did you do abroad? Was it tiring?"

She was injured in an accident then. She left the country quickly and only contacted Lorraine when she arrived in England.

When she thinks of the past, Eunice's eyes darken. "It was just a simple project. I got subsidies for going abroad. Many people couldn't go because they had families, so I went there instead."

"Then what did you do after you came back?"

What did she do?

For some reason, Eunice remembers the last time she had dinner with Ryan. That was probably the last time they met. It is almost impossible for them to see each other again.

She looks down and says in a faint voice, "It was not suitable for me, so I quit."

"I see." Lorraine pats the back of her hand gently. "Eunice, when I recover and leave the hospital next week, you should think about your future. You dropped out of school in your sophomore year, which has made me sad. Now there is less to worry about in the family, you should go back to school."

Eunice did not expect she would bring this up. Eunice left college and went to work when her sophomore year just began. It has been more than a year now, and Lorraine only strongly opposed her decision at first. Eunice thought her mother was too sick to care about her education, but now she realizes Lorraine has been waiting for the right time to mention this. That would be when she recovers.
