Chapter 95 Glorious Tradition

Fred turned to look at the flowers on the bedside table and asked, "Has Susie been here?"

"What? Well, yes. Mom came here just now. " Elsa was stunned and realized that he was referring to Susie.

"Only she likes doing this." His tone was serious and critical, but Elsa always felt that there was a trace of pampering in it. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

The atmosphere was still very tense. Elsa greeted grandpa Wang and Granny Wang briefly. Fred's cold and hard temper, and his repeated answers were "Good", making the conversation become more and more difficult.

Finally, Elsa was relieved. Seeing that Soren came in with water, he understood what Elsa meant and poured a cup of tea for Fred.

Elsa felt that she was really tired because of her illness... She didn't want to get sick again.

After Soren came in, the atmosphere became colder. Even Elsa could feel the coldness, like a tangible object, slowly filling the whole room. Fred took the cup and took a symbolic sip, "Have a good rest. I'm leaving."

"Bye." Soren nodded and watched his father walk out of the door.

Elsa felt that he was also relieved. He turned around, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. They looked at each other and burst into laughter. Soren said crossly, "I say, he did not come to visit the sick, but to make me sick."

"Is he always so serious?" Elsa asked curiously.

"I haven't seen him smile anyway. I don't know why he has such a bitter expression. When I first saw him in my childhood, I was so scared that I cried and wanted to leave. I cried and called Uncle Heather. He took off his shoes hit me... It seems that I am not his biological son. Later, grandfather also took off his shoes and beat him hard... As if he is not his biological son. " Speaking of that family, it was the first time that Soren had such a relaxed expression and tone.

Thinking of that, Elsa couldn't help but laugh. "Is the Wang clan's glorious tradition?"

"I won't hit my own child with my shoe. I will be desperate to love him." His face softened at the mention of the future baby.

Elsa blushed and said with a smile, "It seems that grandpa and grandma treat you well."

"Not bad." Soren said indifferently without saying anything else.

Hearing that, Elsa seemed to ask in reply. She didn't dare to continue the topic. She change to a relaxed conversation. "I don't know when Dad and mom will arrive tomorrow."

"Don't worry. I will ask Bob to pick them up." Soren regained his good mood and tested the temperature on her forehead.

Because she had slept for a long time in the daytime, now she couldn't fall asleep at all. She picked up a magazine on the bedside table and began to read it. She didn't expect that she couldn't stand the torture of being sick. She felt okay by sitting there. But she felt dizzy after reading for a while. She put it down quickly. Soren was amused. He took the magazine and asked, "Which article do you want to read? I'll read it for you."

Elsa randomly pointed at one article and said, "This one."

"Okay." Soren turned to that page, cleared his throat and read it to her slowly. His voice was calm and slightly magnetic. When he read out the passage, there was always a sense of decisiveness as if he was calling out a command, and there was a feeling of grasping the heart of a person deeply.

Satisfied, she closed her eyes. Elsa was not sleepy at first, but she felt a little sleepy when she heard the reading. She covered her lips and yawned, tilting her head to the bed. Soren read in a low voice. Then he put away the book and tucked her in. He touched her forehead for a while before he pulled out the chair and sat down quietly.

The door was ajar. When Norah poked her head, Soren did not recognize her after a second look. She had beautiful long curly hair and wore a white bubble skirt. She didn't look like a doctor at all. She tiptoed in and whispered, "You are here? I have something to talk to my father. He said you... Your wife is sick. "

"Yes, she had caught a cold and a fever. She is almost recovered." Soren stood up and made a gesture, "You've grown taller."

Norah was turned to the other side to look at Elsa. Half of her face was covered in the quilt. She reached out to uncovered the quilt, but Soren stopped her. Norah burst into laughter and made a joyful giggle. "Why are you so nervous?"

"She is sick. Let her have a good rest." Soren tucked Elsa in.

As a sleepless girl, Elsa was woken up by Norah. She really wanted to see what the girl who had loved Soren for several years looked like, but it seemed inappropriate to wake up at this time. So she closed her eyes. She heard Norah said with dissatisfaction, "Well, it's just a look. How can you be so mean?" I've heard that she looks like Candice very much. If I can't see her, I will go home to see Candice's photos. "

"Norah? What nonsense are you talking about!" Soren was angry and raised his voice.

Elsa was lying on the bed pretending to be asleep. She was choked by the mouthful of water and couldn't continue pretending. She coughed out in one breath, but because of the choking, she couldn't even stop coughing. Soren held her up in a hurry, patted her on the shoulder and asked, "Are you all right, Elsa?"

It took Elsa quite a while to stop coughing. Gasping for breath, she said, "... I'm fine. "

Soren still poured her a glass of water and didn't stop until she drank it. Norah stood on tiptoe to look at Elsa, who was held by Soren, with only half of her head exposed. Soren was a little angry, "Norah, call Uncle Xu for me."

Elsa didn't want him to know that she had heard their conversation. She tried her best to keep calm, but for some reason, she just couldn't calm down. Her fingers trembled violently, and her heart beat fast. After drinking the water, she coughed for a long time before she stopped speaking.

Kohl came soon and Norah to follow him. Like a little girl, she kept poking her head behind him. Soren said to Kohl worriedly, "Uncle Xu, look at Elsa. She was fine, but now she coughed badly. I don't know if she caught a cold when she changed her clothes in the daytime."

After looking at it for a while, Kohl said, "The flu is rampant these days, and it's easy to repeat. Besides taking medicine, you should drink more water. I'll add some medicine to stop the cough later. "

"Thank you, uncle Xu." Soren expressed his thanks.

Norah followed him and said playfully, "Thank you, Uncle Xu."

"Why don't you learn something useful? It's so late. Why don't you go back? Your mother has called and urged you several times. " Kohl tapped Norah's forehead.

Norah stuck out her tongue and said, "Okay, I'll be right back."

She ran to Elsa in two steps and said with a naughty smile, "Nice to meet you, sister-in-law. Bye, sister- in-law!"

She was used to being naughty, so Soren didn't care about what she said just now. Seeing that Elsa looked as usual, he said to Norah, "Go back."

"Then I'll have dinner with you when I'm free. Wait for my call, Ren. " After saying that, Norah ran out of the room.

Soren shook his head, turned around and said to Elsa with a smile, "Can you see that Norah is a little older than you? She had always been like this, heartless. And she is a doctor. She doesn't look like a doctor at all. "

Elsa shook her head. She was used to being boring. How could she be compared with Norah.

Seeing that she looked tired, Soren asked worriedly, "Elsa, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Elsa didn't want to say anything, so she shook her head again. Seeing this, Soren said, "Then, have a rest. It's not easy to get well with a cold. Uncle Xu said that you should have more rest. "

He helped her lie down, dimmed the light, walked to the door and locked it. Then he let out a long sigh of relief, and no one would disturb him. He didn't take off his shoes until he saw that Elsa's breathing became steady with her eyes closed. Then he held her from behind and closed his eyes for a rest.

Candice Qiao. Her surname was Qiao. Not knowing why, this thought had been lingering in her mind all the time. She felt his big hand behind her was holding her forcefully, and her heart ached a little, which made her want to cry.

On the second day, Elsa's fever was completely gone, but her mental state was not as good as before. Soren was worried. Elsa had planned to leave the hospital, but he insisted on staying one more day.

There were no old symptoms, but new ones. Elsa's nose was stuffy and she wanted to sneeze, but she couldn't. She rubbed the tip of her nose became red and tears ran down. And she also had a running nose. But she had to open her mouth to breathe.

She looked as if she had cried. Only Elsa knew that she really wanted to cry. She couldn't ask Soren about the details of the matter about Candice, and... She wasn't sure if she had the right to ask. Now everything was in a delicate balance. She was afraid that she would break the balance by herself and make her life a mess.

When she saw Blanche and Johnson, Elsa couldn't help but cry. Blanche walked to her bed in a hurry and hugged her, "Silly girl, you just cry every time you get sick. Isn't you getting better now?"

"Mom. My nose hurts... " Elsa just couldn't control her tears. As soon as she began to cry, she couldn't stop crying as she made an excuse that she was not feeling well.

Blanche looked in the direction of Soren. When grandparents heard that the parents of the Xia clan had come, they also came. She held Elsa in her arms and scolded in a low voice, "My silly daughter, don't cry. What should Ren do if you cry like this? People who don't know you might think you are wronged. "

It was not until then that Elsa stopped crying and wiped the tears on her face with embarrassment. Soren wrung a warm towel, came to clean her carefully, pinched her nose and said, "Can't you breathe?"
