The noon sun shone into the room through the window, making originally gloomy mood begin to rise.
As lunch time approached, Rose came to the kitchen of the Tina's. She opened the refrigerator and found only a few eggs and a bag of stale vegetables were left. Obviously, Tina hadn't cooked for several days. Thinking of how weak and listless Tina was now, Rose sighed.
She had no choice but to open her bag and order two take out using her mobile phone.
Soon, the delivery guy delivered the food to the door. Rose limped to the door to get some food and then returned to the room.
"Tina, it's time for dinner." Rose yelled at Tina in the room.
Hearing this, Tina got out of the bed, tidied up her pajamas and messy hair, and went to the table, where a strong flavor came in.
Rose ordered a set of boiled meat set. She remembered that Tina loved spicy food, so she took her to the small restaurant opposite the school every day to have spicy fish, which must be a bit spicy. It was quite spicy for them. They drank ice water and cried with it, then they ate it happily.
She recalled how happy she was in school and how miserable she was now, which made Rose's heart ache.
Tina sat down at the table and opened the takeout food box. It seemed that she lost her appetite for food she liked most before. When she gently rubbed the red soup box with chopsticks, she was absent-minded.
"What are you thinking? Come on! I remember you like spicy food the most. " Rose knocked on the table in front of Tina.
"I have no appetite." Tina was still holding her chopsticks.
"come on, for the baby's sake." Rose reminded her.
When Tina heard the word "baby", her eyes lit up. She slowly picked up some rice and put it into her mouth, forcing herself to eat it.
It was not relieved until she saw her friend began to eat. They ate quietly together.
After lunch, Tina went back to her room and simply washed and tidied up, so that she wouldn't look so tired.
In the messy living room, Rose was calling her driver to pick her up. However, she couldn't get through to the other side for several times.
After a long while, the phone was finally answered, "Hello, Terry? I'm Lin Ruan. You come to pick up the servants in the southern garden complex. I need to go to the women's hospital. "
"Hello, Mrs. Gu, I'm sorry. I'm in the maternity hospital now. My wife just got into the delivery room, and I have to stay here with her. Can I ask for a leave from you?" Terry faltered on the other end of the line.
Hearing this, Rose touched her forehead. As a husband, she should stay with his wife and children. She could understand.
"Well, then take good care of your wife." After saying that, Rose hung up the phone.
At that time, Tina had just come out of her room, tiding up her stuff. Although she was still very tired, it was much better than she looked sick in the morning.
"That's it. Take care of yourself, for the sake of the baby." Looking at Tina carefully, Rose held her hand and comforted her in a soft voice.
"Yes..." Tina answered in a low voice, as a yes.
