Facade Love: Marrying A Perfect Husband

Chapter 201 - 201 ( Longevity )

Cleo gave a certain look.

"Can you handle those best friends of yours? Why do they talk increasingly digress? And why do my ears get burning when I hear their jokes and seriousness?

Harry cleared his throat.

"Ignore them. And pretend that there never was. Just eat slowly because I don't want you to choke. Then, no one wants to take this food from you. Therefore, don't worry."

Luan wept for her fate. He was envious and right now he looked sad.

"It's so annoying! Why even though Harry's words were as cold as ice. Yet I can feel the sweet words stored within it? So, should we quietly leave here and let them spread the loves?"

Reihan seemed to have admitted it.

"Yes. You're right. And we might as well go all the way without decided to will come back."

This subtle innuendo was still ignored by Harry and Cleo.

"Aren't you going to eat with me?"

Harry shook his head.

"I had eaten a little earlier when I accompanied uncle. Because I know if we come back later, Uncle will definitely not want to eat any food. So, I had to accompany him for a while. You don't have to think about me. Just eat your food slowly. And enjoy your meal to the fullest. You're can ask me to add it if it's not enough."

This sight tortured five other men who could only be spectators. Continuing to be ignored and as if not standing on the same earth. Or just as a shadow. The five of them finally decided to leave.

Let the married couple in front of them do what they want.

Harry turned out to have provided a room for Cleo to rest. Another VVIP room wasn't far from Sofia's.

Cleo was taken aback.

"Are you actually trying to curse me to get sick quickly? That's why you asked me to rest in the patient's room?"

Harry defended himself. He thought this was not strange. And he has the right to give his wife a comfortable rest.

"Who said you need to get sick first to rent a patient room? I've got permission from the hospital. And indeed there is an empty room available."

Harry immediately dragged Cleo into the room he had prepared. Pushed Cleo to sit on the bed.

"Then, how about you and your uncle?"

"Uncle will definitely stay in Grandma's room. That way, I will accompany you here. And you must of course allow it."

Cleo laid her body obediently on the single bed which made her feel strange. Had a long chat with Harry and found the comfort that she rarely found in a foreign place. Cleo finally fell asleep first and threw herself into dreamland.

Sofia woke up the next morning. It was exactly as the doctor said and made everyone who had been waiting for her consciousness gathered around in alert.

Cleo became the first person to realize Sofia's consciousness. Then Harry was the first to reach for the nurse call button to press it and called the doctor.

Everyone gathered in front of Sofia's bed and approached.

"Mother, how is your condition?"

"Is mom all right? Any part in your body is hurt?"

"Mom, do your back had well?"

"If yes. We will tell the doctor to give you an additional dose of medicine. And then, can you hear us?"

Harry and Christina joined in asking about her condition impatiently.

"Grandma, can you hear us? How are you feeling right now?"

"Granny… don't leave us!

Lily hit her daughter lightly on the back.

Plaque!

"Ouch, it hurts! Why did I get hit and why mom so fierce?!"

Sofia's eyes moved to observe everyone one by one with a bit of weakness. Managed to blink a few times to adapt to her surroundings. Sofia responded to the many questions that were asked of her with a sigh.

"You guys had to keep flocking to me with lots of questions? How can I answer your questions one by one? If I began to confuse choosing which question is better I answer at first."

Sofia's voice hypnotized everyone.

"Grandma, are you okay?" Harry asked worried and so did Lily.

"Mom, nothing hurts right?" Lily touched her mother-in-law's hand and shoulder.

Sofia nodded weakly. And encourage everyone to breathe a sigh of relief.

Lily asked worriedly, "Where is the doctor? Why are they so slow and don't come here immediately to check on mother's condition?"

Daniawan calms her down.

"Calm down, Lily. Harry had called them. Soon the doctor will come. So, we just need to wait."

Christina hugs her grandmother affectionately.

"Granny, you scared us so much! Do you know how much my mom feels guilty?"

Lily then wiped her tears.

"Thank you for coming to your senses, mom. And make me feel calm again."

The doctor came and split the crowd after asking everyone to get out of the way. Asking the patient a few simple questions and checked her.

"How are your hips? Does it hurt?"

Sofia nodded slightly.

"Does it so hurt or is it a little sore?" The doctor detailed his question further.

"Just a little," Sofia answered in a weak tone.

The doctor then turned to look at the rest of the patient's family.

"She's better now. Just a little pain from the impromptu surgery that we did to her before. The side effects of the medicine have certainly started to decrease its working system. But I will still add another dose of painkiller an hour later. Please give attention to the patient so that does not move too much so as it does not give affect the outcome of our surgery. Then we'll see how it goes a week later."

Sofia smiled happily when she saw her whole family was so concerned about her.

Christina asked confusedly, "Is there anything funny, granny?" she asked while she approached.

Sofia laughed again.

"It's the first time, I've seen you guys so worried and scared. You think The One Above already wants me to be summoned and come along with Him?" Sofia joked. Still able to do that and it shook the whole family, especially Harry.

"Stop talking useless things. And don't say things that don't give you a bright future."

This warning invites another sense of happiness.

"You don't have to overdo it. I've been good. And as you can hear, I have passed a critical period."

Daniar stepped forward to apologize when Sofia realized she was also in the crowd.

"Madam, I'm sorry. I was negligent in my duties and I deserve to be punished."

Daniar looks like she's about to cry.

"I should have come back sooner and more agile so that all my work in serving you is done properly."

Daniar's tears broke.

"I should be a good nurse!! So how do I still dare to ask for waivers and stay employed?!"

Sofia shook her head weakly.

"Stop talking nonsense like Harry's said, Daniar. I will not fire you and I will not punish you either. Because the accident I had wasn't anyone's fault."

Sofia then looked at her family one by one.

"Something bad like this, I don't know when it will happen to me sooner or later. So you should start to be able to prepare yourself for the worst. Because I'm not young anymore. And I can be summoned at any time."

Lily immediately burst into tears. Making everyone surprised and looking at her. Christian immediately asked anxiously.

"Mom, why you cry?"

Lily couldn't stand her feelings anymore.

"This is all my fault. Because I got mom hurt and taken to the hospital. Mom thought she wanted to leave us. I.. I'm an unfilial daughter-in-law. So, Dad!! What should I do?" Lily whined like a child to Daniawan.

Harry and Cleo looked at each other strangely. While Kiky sighed.

"Mo-ther, can you please don't overdo it? Mom gives me goosebumps!" Kiky complained.

Lily ignored him. She kept dropping her body into her husband's arms.

"Look! Kiky even now has the heart to reprimand me. Huah.... I feel so guilty," Lily grieved excitedly. Daniawan just tried to calm her down by patting his wife's shoulder gently.

Sofia looked at her daughter-in-law in tired.

"I don't want to corner you, Lily. You are still my best daughter-in-law. And I don't think there's anything wrong with you."

Kiky corrected.

"Grandma, you're wrong. Mother's hyperbole needs to be handled properly."

Christina lightly pinched her young brother's arm. Kiky moaned but didn't make a fuss.

"All right then. I'm not going anywhere until I have my first great-grandchild. When do you want to give me great-grandchildren?"

Harry and Cleo looked at Sofia with surprised expressions.

"Why did your statement point in that direction? What does that have to do with our conversation earlier?"

Sofia took it easy on Harry's protest.

"Of course, there are many. Because you all asked how long I will stay in this world!"

Everyone shouted in unison.

"Grandma! "Mother!" "Granny!"

"We never said that!"

"Then, Grandma, don't twist the facts!"

"I'm just saying that I'm still going to stay until I have great-grandchildren. Why are you guys getting so excited? And why do you mind so much?" Sofia looked at Harry with her aiming gaze.

Harry looked at his grandmother tiredly. He couldn't possibly argue with a sick person. Then he also knew how unique his grandmother's nature was.

But he still expressed his high hopes.

"You will live a long life, Mrs. Sofia. If necessary, hundreds of years into the future."

Sofia laughed out loud.

"If so, that means I will set a world record for the present."
