Elsa felt that she had waited for a long time before he unbuckled his belt. She blushed and said, "I can do it myself now."
Soren put the transfusion bottle on a safe place and kissed her on the forehead, and then he said, "Fine, I'll go out for a while, but you must call me later."
"Okay." Watching him leave, he closed the door carefully for her before he went out.
She went to the bathroom. She wanted to buckle up her belt with one hand, but failed after trying for a while. Finally, she called his name, "Ren?"
"I'm here." He appeared at the door almost at once and pushed it open. Elsa felt so ashamed that she closed her eyes and let him tidy her clothes.
Then he carried her out of the bathroom. When he got out, he took out her pajamas and said with a smile, "You can't take a shower for the time being, so you have to change the clothes. It will help you sleep better."
Elsa still wore the shirt and trousers she wore at work. Since she was sick all day and night, she had no time to change them. Just now, she sweated a lot and it clung to her body, which made her a little uncomfortable. She nodded. "Okay."
It was not convenient to change the cloth by herself since she had the drip infusion. Therefore, all the things did by Soren for her. He took off her clothes and even changed her underwear for her without exception. After packing and putting them in the bag beside, he said with a smile, "We can wash them only in a few days later."
Elsa was so shy that she did not know how to face him again. She buried her head in the quilt. "I want to sleep."
"Well, drink some water before you go to sleep." He poured some warm water and brought it to her. "I asked Donna to bring me some pickled vegetables that my mother had made. I have made some congee. You lie down again and you will be able to eat in a while."
"I bring too much trouble to Donna. Actually, I can eat anything."
"You need to eat more so that you can recover quickly." Soren pinched her nose and continued, "From now on, listen to me, okay?"
Looking into his eyes, she nodded and said, "Okay."
She turned her head to the bed and saw a bunch of red roses. She whispered, "It smells good."
"Do you like it? Mom and Uncle Heather came here just now. I didn't wake you up since you were asleep. "
"I am so rude." Elsa was a little embarrassed. "I'm made everybody so busy, yet, I'm still sleeping here."
"Then get well soon, and you won't feel sorry for their concern and care." Soren laughed and arranged the roses in front of Elsa.
"Did you sleep just now?" asked Elsa, poking her head out of the quilt.
"I had a good sleep." Soren yawned and said, "See? I don't even want to get up. I'll go get you some medicine. Take it and have a rest. "
After he got the medicine, he came back and gave it to her. Suddenly, he thought of something and said, "Elsa, father and mother called just now. They said they wanted to see you. "
"What? I don't know. What did mom and dad say? " Elsa was afraid that they would worry about her as they heard that she was sick, so she sat up suddenly.
"Don't worry. Just lie down. Yesterday mom and dad called you several times, but you didn't answer them. I called them back when you were asleep today, saying that you had a cold and a fever. Mom and dad said that they wanted to come and live with us for a few days since they was free from school. I thought it would be a good idea. I wanted to go back home to see them, but I had no time to go back. Since they are free now, it's good for them to come over. When you are fully recovered, we can go shopping and wondering around with them."
Elsa nodded her head as she heard his sincere and considerate talks. "Thank you, Ren."
"Silly girl, you're welcome." Soren touched her forehead gently and said, "Father and mother will arrive tomorrow morning. Take good care of yourself and don't let them worry about you."
"Yes, I will have three bowls of rice later," Elsa said with a bright smile on her face.
After taking the medicine, Elsa closed her eyes again to take a nap. When the dinner was ready, Donna brought some food here. She didn't have much appetite but she still had a lot of food. Noticing that Soren had a lot of food and looked good, she lay down on the bed.
Since she had slept too much in the daytime, she felt a little sleepless. She sat idly and looked out of the window. It was getting dark. Only the street lights and people passing by were seen.
Elsa didn't expect that Johnny would come here. When she saw his figure, she was stunned. She reached out and held Soren's hand subconsciously and said, "My boss is here."
Soren looked up at Johnny. With a calm expression on his face, he nodded and said, "Is that editor Meng?"
"I... On behalf of the newspaper and the leaders, I came to see Elsa. Elsa, are you feeling better? " Johnny came over and said with embarrassment.
He clearly knew that a lot of things were in vain, but he still wanted to make the last effort.
