"But it's Friday tomorrow…" Bianca was a little troubled. Usually, the family would go back to Crawford Manor to have dinner on Fridays.
Old Master Crawford adored his grandson and great-grandchildren. He was dissatisfied when Luke and the children moved away because he would only be meeting them once a week. If they did not return to Crawford Manor the next day, the old man would be even unhappier.
"Grandfather will understand why we're doing this. Moreover, we can invite him over to your grandfather's house. The two old men can chat." Luke had already thought of a solution.
"Okay." Bianca nodded. She agreed with his suggestion.
The two old men enjoyed an amicable relationship ever since they first met. They could entertain themselves for an entire afternoon over a game of chess and a pot of tea.
They might be better friends if not for that incident.
The next day, Bianca and Sue went to visit Nina during lunch hour.
The atmosphere in the private ward was calmer and more comfortable.
After the caretaker exited the ward, Bianca helped prop Nina up and said, "I've brought some fish soup for you, Nina. It'll be good for your injury. Would you eat some?"
"Okay." Nina's face was pale, and there was no color on her lips. She had not eaten much since the day before, and she did not want her friend to worry.
Sue helped ladle some fish soup into a bowl. "Let me feed you."
"It's fine. I can eat it myself." Nina did not want to trouble others.
"Your right hand is hooked to the IV. You'd better not do that." Sue sat down next to the bed and scooped some soup. "I didn't prepare anything, so I should at least take care of you."
Nina smiled and ate a spoonful.
Bianca sat on the couch and asked, "Did the doctor come and examine you today?"
"Yes. He says that there's nothing serious, and I can be discharged the day after tomorrow," Nina said before eating another spoonful of soup.
"That's good to know. It's so lonely staying in the hospital alone. You should eat more soup. I've heard that fish soup is good for flesh wounds," Sue said.
Bianca added, "Yes. I've heard from the caretaker that you didn't eat much yesterday. That won't do, Nina. You have to take care of your body, alright? At least do that for yourself."
"Yes, I know. You two are too kind." Nina felt that the temperature of the soup was just right, took the bowl in one hand, and gulped it down in two mouthfuls. "Another bowl, please, Sue."
"Coming right up!" Sue was happy that Nina was eating more and quickly ladled another bowl for her.
Nina looked at Bianca and pleaded, "Bea, can you bring me to meet the doctor in charge of my mother?"
Bianca did not expect that request from Nina. "Can you get off the bed?"
"I don't think I can walk too well. Can you get me a wheelchair?" Nina said. Her father was taking care of her mother, but she was nonetheless worried about her mother's condition.
Bianca thought for a while and nodded. "Alright, wait for me for a while. I'll go and ask for a wheelchair from the nurse."
"Thank you, Bea." Nina smiled gratefully. Sue had already cooled down the bowl of soup by stirring. Nina took the bowl and finished it in two gulps.
Bianca came back to the ward with the wheelchair. Together with Sue, they helped Nina get off the bed and sit in the wheelchair.
