That night, when Horace went back, he found that there was no extra quilt and pillow in the room.
Ava pulled him to the side, made a shushing gesture, and then whispered, "Your mother is out there."
Immediately afterwards, Ava told him what had happened this afternoon.
"I'm really sorry, it's all because of me, otherwise tomorrow I'll find an excuse to go out for a few days, tonight you'll sleep on the bed and I'll sleep on the couch."
Horace said, "It's okay, I'll go out and check it out."
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Lucy standing not far away.
As soon as Lucy saw him come out, she hurriedly touched the picture frame and ordered to explain to the maid behind her, "This place is all dusty, clean it well tomorrow."
The maid responded, "Yes."
Horace walked over, "Mom."
Lucy waved her hand at the maid, who bent down and left.
Waiting for people to walk away, Lucy only spoke: "I know what you are thinking, you are already married to Ava, so don't always think about ......"
"I didn't."
"Then why are you still ......" said Lucy, lowering her voice after so long, "sleeping separately?"
Horace said, "It's not what you think it is."
Lucy grunted twice: "It's not what I think, I think it's almost the same, since Ava has married you, she is your wife, for whatever reason, you have the responsibility to take care of her and protect her."
After a pause, Lucy added, "Or did you marry her just to deal with me? Are you planning to divorce her when I die?"
With that, Lucy blushed and coughed violently a few times.
Horace slowed his voice and said, "I didn't."
Lucy coughing collected a few points: "Since there is no, you give me back to the room, I am still waiting to hold a grandchild, I do not know how many years I can still live in this body, do you want me to die in peace."
Horace was silent for a while: "I see."
"All right, all right, go back."
