After Ferne was sent to the hospital last night, he didn't anything to his family. But someone told his family about it the next morning. His parents and his wife came to visit him. But they were so noisy that Ferne almost freaked out.
Noah took care of Ferne all night. After he saw that Ferne's parents were there, Noah went to the bathroom and then left the ward.
Ferne thought that Noah was out to buy breakfast, but he was not back after forty minutes. Ferne waited for him for another twenty minutes. Ferne's mother couldn't help but look at the door and asked, "Why do you keep looking at the door? Is anyone else coming?"
Ferne mumbled an answer. When his parents and Lili went out for his doctor, he took out his phone and called Noah.
"Where are you?"
"In my bathroom."
Ferne froze for a while before he realized that Noah had returned home. "Damn, are you back at home?"
Noah didn't say anything.
Ferne knew that Noah was unhappy with his rude word, but he wanted to ask him something else, "Why didn't you tell me that you've gone home?"
"Okay, I've gone home." Noah sounded exhausted.
Ferne was speechless for a moment and then he said, "Alright then, have a rest."
After hanging up, Ferne lay on the bed with his eyes closed.
Moments later, Lili came in and handed a glass of water to him. She was spoiled by her parents and didn't know how to take care of others. She and Ferne had been married for many years, but pouring water was all she did for him.
"Are you feeling better now?" She asked with concern.
Ferne didn't open his eyes, "What do you think!"
Lili was unhappy with his tone.
"What do you want to eat then?" She asked.
Ferne snorted, "What? Will you cook for me?"
Lili probably wanted to throw a temper, but she didn't. She told herself that Ferne was injured and was in a bad mood. She repressed her anger and said, "If there is something you want to eat, tell me. I'll tell our cook."
Ferne thought of the beef, cabbage, and chicken soup last night. He looked at Lili and said, "Ask the doctor what I can eat, and then tell me."
He couldn't eat anything greasy right now. He didn't know if she had listened to the doctor's words just now.
Ferne didn't know what was wrong with him. He felt uneasy when Noah was not around. And he was tired of his parents' nagging.
He was also fed up with Lily.
Because her presence reminded him of what he had said to Noah at Forest Hot Spring.
His parents and Lili stayed there for a whole day. During that time, his colleagues from the police station came over to visit him and brought him flowers and fruits. The captain also came to praise him and told him to be prepared for the commendation when he recovered.
Ferne recalled what Noah said beside his bed last night.
"When you get the commendation, don't mention me. You found the corpse. The witness is you, not me."
At that time, Ferne was just sober from anesthesia and he was in severe pain. He couldn't even argue with Noah when he heard this. He just stared at him with a lot of questions in his mind.
Why?
Noah did not answer. He only took a towel to wipe his face and said, "Get some sleep."
It got dark soon. Noah didn't come, and Ferne didn't expect him anymore. Ferne didn't care if Noah would come any longer.
Randy, Jaquan, and Emma had come to visit Ferne during the day. Stony was now alive and kicking. Stony suffered a stomachache several days ago. He would go to City Q with Jaquan and Emma in a few days. Armando had gone to Tibet. Now that Jaquan was also leaving, Ferne suddenly felt a little lonely.
Lili was sitting on the side of the bed and applying a mask. Ferne looked at her and then turned his gaze on the TV.
There was a soap drama on TV. The male sidekick loved the heroine who loved the hero, while the hero loved the female sidekick. In short, it is a show of one-sided love stories.
Ferne was confused about the plot, but he could still watch it. Ferne's father, Jonny, was busy answering his calls in the corridor. Ferne's mother, Lisa, had gone back to make some porridge for Ferne.
Lili applied a mask and was patting her face in the ward.
Probably because Lily was bored, she looked at Ferne who was staring at the TV after she finished applying her mask. She asked, "Is this TV series fun?"
Ferne answered reluctantly, "Why don't you watch it yourself?"
That irritated Lili.
Lili couldn't hold back her anger anymore and said to Ferne, "What's wrong with you? Why are you talking to me like this?"
"There is indeed something wrong with me." Ferne patted his belly, which was wrapped in gauze.
Lili was lost for words.
There was a knock on the door. Emily, followed by Vincent, opened the door and entered the room.
Seeing Lili with a mask on her face, Emily greeted her with a nod. She walked in with a fruit basket in her hand. She saw that Ferne was looking good in bed, so she placed the fruit basket on the table and said, "Am I the last one to visit you?"
Ferne smiled, "I won't blame you if you don't come."
Lili, who was taking off her mask, heard Ferne talking to Emily in a gentle tone. She was jealous. She wanted to say hello to Vincent just now, but now she did not want to talk.
Vincent did not look at Lili at all. He talked to Ferne for a while and then stood aside. He took out an apple from the fruit basket and began to peel it with a knife.
Ferne was touched. Over the years, he was seldom sick, but Vincent would come to visit him if he was sick. Of course, Vincent always left after taking a quick look, and he always asked his assistant to buy gifts for Ferne. This was the first time Vincent peeled fruit for him when he was in the hospital.
Ferne was so moved that he almost cried. But Vincent cut the apple and handed it to Emily.
Ferne wanted to cry.
Ferne looked at Vincent in despair, "Vincent, I am the sick one!"
Vincent put the knife back on the table and went into the bathroom to wash his hands. After coming out, he looked at Lili and said, "Your wife can help you."
Ferne was disappointed when Vincent mentioned his wife.
Lili knew nothing about taking care of people.
Emily was eating the apple slices. She found Ferne's sad face funny, "This is cold and not good for you. You can't eat it."
"I know." Ferne raised his hands, "I'm just kidding."
Emily knew that Vincent's friends had tried their best to cheer her up and help the Britt Group after her father had passed away.
She was grateful to them from the bottom of her heart.
Hearing Ferne's words, she smiled and said, "Get well soon. I'll visit you again after you leave the hospital."
"Alright, Vincent, don't be jealous of me," Ferne said in jest.
He should have rested more when he was injured, but he couldn't sleep now. He had taken a rest for an hour in the afternoon, and Someone poked his forehead when his eyes were closed. He thought that it was Noah. He opened his eyes and saw his mother. He couldn't tell if he was disappointed or sad at that time, but all of a sudden, everything became boring.
Emily and Vincent were just about to leave. Someone opened the door without knocking. Ferne thought that it must be his father and he said, "Dad, why on earth did you come? You are so busy with your work. Just go home."
Ferne's visitor said after a moment of silence, "How are you, my son?"
Ferne cursed when he heard that. His eyes were full of joy as he curled up his lips into a smile, "Noah, you call me your son? Screw you!"
