Hearing that, William frowned. He wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know how to start the conversation.
"Go upstairs," he said after a long time, trying to leave Mary alone. "If your mother wakes up, call me up."
"Yes, okay." Mary tried to avoid his sight and wiped her tears and went upstairs in a hurry.
Looking at the petite figure of Mary, William took out her phone silently.
"Hello, Lucas."
"Wow, William!" "Oh my God!" The sun is rising in the West" an annoying voice came from the other end of the phone. "Who is calling me?"
"Lucas Mu..." "You are so annoying." said William, gritting his teeth.
"Really? I just miss you so much..."
"Fuck off!" Said William angrily.
"Ha ha," the person on the other end of the phone finally couldn't help laughing. "Why? Why do you call me, my boss? !"
"I have something." Said William seriously.
"What's the matter?" As soon as Lucas Mu heard that there was something from William, he immediately changed to a serious look with a cheeky smile.
"There is a patient who is in the late stage of cancer. I will send you an e-mail containing the details." Stroking the cigarette in his pocket, William continued, "You must help me."
"Late stage?" "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Lucas Mu said helplessly.
"It's a long story," said William, taking out a cigarette. "Anyway, it's good to relieve the pain."
"Then I'll try my best," said Lucas Mu after a pause, "Is it an important person?"
"Sort of." William stood beside the car and took a drag. "She is my mother-in-law. I'm married."
"What?! !" A scream came from the other end of the phone. William frowned and blew a smoke ring. Then he took the phone one meter away from himself.
"When did you get married? With whom?! Oh my God! You didn't tell me until now!" Lucas Mu kept asking, "You are so naughty! Tell me. Come on. Come on!"
"I'll tell you in detail when you come back."
"Really? Just tell me now. Come on? !" Lucas Mu said, "At least, you have something to ask for me. Tell me first about the marriage! ?"
"You are such a gossipy man. You don't look like a doctor at all." William raised his head and found that Mary was walking out of the in-patient department. The he said, "Let's talk later. "
"Du, Du, Du..."
"Hello, hello? William... Hello?! ! Fuck..."
After staying outside the ward for a while, Mary thought that Timothy was still waiting for them in the old house, so she didn't stay any longer and walked out.
As soon as she walked out, she saw William smoking, leaning against the car door. It was the first time that Mary had seen him smoking. His strong nose and deep eyes made him look more mature in the smoke. Moreover, he was handsome when he was smoking.
"Why so soon?" Asked William, putting out the cigarette.
"I'm afraid that father will wait for me at home. Anyway, my mother hasn't woken up yet."
"Is there anything else? "
"Nothing."
"Well, let's go."
"Okay."
The car soon drove into the old house. At the same time, a sense of inexplicable nervousness arose in the heart of Mary.
In the living room, Timothy was sitting upright, biting his lips and waiting for them. His expression was exactly the same as that of William.
"Father." As soon as William entered the room, he greeted him stiffly.
"Father," called Mary.
"Humph!" Timothy looked at William coldly. When he was about to say something, he was stopped by Mary.
"Ah, father," Mary walked over with a smile and said, "I have decided to take wedding photos with William tomorrow. What do you think?"
Timothy's anger, which hadn't yet burst out, was instantly blocked in his mouth. He looked at Mary and said with a loving smile, "Okay, okay, okay, tomorrow. I called your Auntie Amy today and she still asked about it."
"Really?" "Father, do you think it's indoor or outdoor?" Mary asked.
"Both indoor and outdoor," Timothy waved his hand. "We have to take more pictures, both indoor and outdoor."
"Okay, father, it's up to you." Mary smiled sweetly.
"William, you..." Timothy was about to give a lecture to William, but was interrupted by Mary.
"Ah, father!" Mary hold his stomach exaggeratedly, "I'm so hungry, father... Have the dinner been prepared? "
"Ha ha, Mary is hungry," said Timothy with a smile. "Then bring the food up. Let's eat first. Let's eat first."
"Okay, okay, fine." As she promised, Mary turned around and made a face at William, which made William at a loss whether to cry or to laugh.
During the dinner, Mary talked as much as she could to make their father happy and try not to make trouble for William.
On the side of the stairs not far from the study, Mary was waiting anxiously. 'The two of them must be fighting, or why is there such a big noise?'
When she was thinking, she heard the sound of the turning doorknob of the study.
As soon as she stepped forward, Mary saw the bleeding temples of William.
"Oh my God!" Mary shouted, "What happened! Are you OK?! Oh my God... I'll call the doctor!"
As soon as she finished his words, Mary was about to run downstairs, but she was stopped by William. His voice was a little hoarse. "It's not serious. I'll just go back to wash it and wipe some alcohol."
"Are you really okay?" Mary looked at him worriedly, "The blood is almost flowing to your mouth."
"I'm OK." William smiled and walked to the bedroom alone.
Mary looked back at the closed door of the study and chased after William.
As soon as they arrived at the bedroom, she saw William rummaging through the drawers to find the alcohol. Then Mary walked up to him and took the medicine box. "Take off your coat first. I'll apply medicine to you."
William glanced at her and did not refute.
Mary stood by the bed and carefully wiped the wound of William with a cotton stick. "If it hurts, just say it. I don't have any experience in dealing with the wound. "
"Hiss... "
As soon as Mary finished speaking, William took a deep breath for pain and said, "You're really inexperienced! "
"Well... I'm sorry." Mary apologized and she still wiped his wound more carefully. "You, you and your father... "
"Nothing!" William interrupted Mary, as if he didn't want to say anything more.
After a pause, Mary continued, "Since you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk."
The room was quiet all of a sudden. Mary was wiping his wound silently.
Suddenly, she leaned her head over and blew on the wound of William, saying, "It will recover soon by doing so."
All of a sudden, William tensed up. He felt that the wind from her blew gently on his forehead. He was wrapped by the good smell of her shampoo. It was not real!
"All right." When William was in a daze, Mary had done. "I have applied a small gauze. And tomorrow, new medicine shall be applied."
"Ahem... Okay, all right." Hearing that, William coughed unnaturally. 'I couldn't let Mary find out what I was thinking just now.'
Mary said as she was dealing with the medicine box, "We can't take wedding photos tomorrow since you have been wounded."
"Why not?" Said William, raising his eyebrows.
