“Mom, I’m done.” Rosemary changed her clothes and walked out to see that Marian hadn’t changed her clothes. Did she expect her to see the unseen husband alone?
Marian took Rosemary to the door of an isolation ward, pointed inside, and said, “Go on in! We’ve already been in there today. We can’t go in there again.”
Rosemary nodded conformably and said, “Okay.” Then she pushed the door open and went in.
Seeing her inside, Marian looked into the room with a hurt look in her eyes, closed her eyes, and turned to leave the room.
Rosemary went inside wearing a sterile hospital gown. There were many advanced medical instruments in the room, any of which could be compared with a hospital’s.
“Hi, are you Wilson’s new wife Rosemary?” A man in a sterile hospital gown asked Rosemary.
“Yes. And you are?” Rosemary looked blankly at Edmund Johnson.
“I’m Edmund Johnson, Wilson’s personal physician. You’re here to see Wilson, right? I’ll show you inside.”
Edmund Johnson saw Rosemary’s indifferent face and part of him wanted to see what kind of woman she was.
Rosemary nodded politely to Edmund Johnson and said, “Thank you.”
“You probably know about Wilson’s condition. He was in a car accident two years ago, and then his girlfriend left him. The double whammy turned him into what he is now.”
As Edmund Johnson walked along, he explained to Rosemary about Wilson Grant’s condition and gave her some tips on what to do.
“Remember that?” Edmund Johnson asked, turning to smile at her.
