After sitting down, the two women held hands and chatted happily.
The topic of conversation was none other than children and family.
However, Cathy was different from Nell, in terms that she was a housewife with no strong opinions.
She was gentle in character, traditional in thinking, and based her life on the principle of following the man.
Otherwise, she would not have been destroyed by those scums, Shaun Jennings and Sylvia Walker in the first place.
In the past, Nell never really understood her.
She did not understand why her mother did not resist even though her father was such scum.
Later on, when she had her own child, she seemed to have gradually understood her mother’s heart.
Moreover, she was lucky enough to meet a good man like Gideon Leith.
So she hardly ever suffered any grievances after she got married.
However, not everyone in this world could have such a fortune.
Many people, like an ordinary person, had grievances and joys.
Although there may be more bitterness sometimes, most of them just endured it in order to give their children a complete family.
As long as the other party did not go too far, everything could be put aside for the sake of the children.
Despite that, Nell was now still unable to agree with that idea.
Though just because she refused to agree with it did not mean that she could not understand it.
Sometimes, she would imagine herself in Cathy’s position and thought that she might not be able to do better than Cathy.
Now, the Jennings family was gone, and Cathy had a new life of her own.
That was quite good in fact.
Nell sighed in her heart, but Cathy did not know what she was thinking.
Cathy laughed. “We talked about so much I forgot what we came here for.”
As she spoke, she patted her head in admonishment and got up. Then, she walked to the side and brought over the thermos on the cabinet.
“Nelly, this is the tonic soup I made using many ingredients that are suitable for women who have just gone through labor. They were all prescribed by your Uncle Sean. You should drink more and recover your vitality.”
Nell smiled. “Mom, aren’t you afraid of making me big and fat if you give me tonics like these?”
She was actually quite worried that her body would be out of shape after giving birth.
Unexpectedly, Cathy glared at her.
“I’m warning you, you just gave birth, and through a C-section at that. Your body is still weak, so don’t think about losing weight or anything else. How can thinness and beauty be as important as health? What can you do without a healthy body?”
Nell could not help but rub her nose at being lectured by Cathy so suddenly.
She said helplessly and with some amusement, “Okay okay, I’ll listen to you. I’ll drink, okay?”
When she agreed, Cathy handed over the ladled soup in satisfaction.
Nell took the bowl and drank it slowly.
She had to admit that Cathy’s cooking was as good as ever.
It was a tonic soup, but it did not make her feel greasy or stuffy at all. She could only smell a faint fragrance.
When she drank it, there was even a faint hint of sweetness in her mouth.
Those who did not know it was soup might even think that they were drinking some kind of beverage.
The soup changed Nell’s previous misconception that everything eaten during postpartum confinement was greasy and oily.
Since the soup tasted really good, Nell drank three bowls at once before stopping.
Embarrassingly, perhaps because she had drunk too much, but she felt anxious as soon as she put down the bowl.
Ah… She wanted to go to the washroom.
However, Cathy did not know that she wanted to go to the washroom. She was just very happy to see Nell drink so much soup and happily talked to her about her family life.
Only when she turned around and saw Nell’s painful expression and her covering her stomach did she become frightened and ran over.
