Chapter 1142 Return to the Country
Chapter 1142 Return to the Country
Anya and Phil had gotten on well for two days since they took the baby back home from the hospital.
Then Arthur arrived in Ustistan with Abigail.
Abigail made a diagnosis for Anya and gave a prescription to nurse her health. Anya thought it would
be a lot of trouble to have Chiobar's herb. She even had to boil the herb herself, but she didn't know
how to do it at all.
But Abigail told her one of her friends was running a Chiobar's Medicine Clinic here and could help boil
the Chiobar's herb. She first gave the prescription for one month and told her friend to boil it and bring it
to Anya's apartment. What Anya needed to do was store it in the fridge and drink it three times per day.
She had to give Anya a diagnosis again one month later and make some adjustments to the
prescription. Abigail said she would come to visit her again by then.
Anya didn't have the heart to see Abigail travel long distances only for her treatment, then she said, "I'll
be on holiday in a month. I'll return to the country to visit my mother and I can go for you then."
Anya had been back to the country only one time since she went study abroad. In fact, she had
planned to return to the country to give birth to the baby. But the accident happened and she couldn't
go back.
She always wanted to return to visit Lorie on holiday. Lorie had been worried about her. She thought
Lorie would be a bit relieved if she went back to visit her.
Phil heard it and couldn't help raising his eyes to glance at her. He hadn't heard that she would like to
return to the country to visit Lorie. Somehow, he couldn't bear to see her go back to the country and he
just didn't want to part with her.
Since he went to Ustistan to stay with her and wait for the delivery of the baby, he had spent all the
time together with Anya except that he had been on a business trip in Nortopia for some time.
Now he had a hard time accepting it when he suddenly heard that she was gonna return to the country,
though she would leave one month later.
Though he was the one to suggest they should break up with each other and keep their distance from
each other.
Abigail smiled and patted Anya lightly on her hand, "Don't feel guilty or stressed about it. After all, I
always keep myself busy. Brandon and I travel around the world and provide medical assistance in
places of war and poverty. We've been used to the life of flying around."
"Now Arthur and Jean can take care of the baby on their own, so Brandon and I will continue with our
job of volunteering."
Abigail and Brandon were the best doctors ever. They didn't care about their own life and security.
Instead, they would go to any place where they were needed.
Sometimes, people asked them whether they were afraid of dying in any accident. After all, the places
they had been to were too dangerous for normal people. Most people treasured their own lives and
they would rather enjoy themselves in a stable and safe place.
They were at the age of retirement and they could enjoy life and live out their lives comfortably. But
they started their job providing medical assistance and went to places of war and poverty, which was
hard for others to understand.
Whenever they were asked about it, they would explain peacefully that they loved their job as doctors
and they were ready to die for it. Most importantly, they were doing it with the loved one and neither of
them was left behind to keep waiting and worrying about the other. They had been going through thick
and thin together and made a happy couple themselves.
Arthur was their only child and he got married and started his career. He lived happily and had run the
hospital much better than they did. So, they had nothing to worry about.
As a doctor, Arthur understood his parents' choices and supported them. It didn't matter what others
thought as long as they understood and supported each other as a family.
Jean had lived in Riverside City for a couple of months since she gave birth to the baby. Abigail really
wished to help look after the baby but it seemed that she couldn't do much to help.
Even Jean's mother, Selina, didn't seek the chance to help, either. Jean and Arthur could take good
care of their daughter by themselves.
As a result, Selina invited Abigail to have tea every day when she was in Riverside City. And Abigail
just seized every chance to help Selina nurse her health.
Selina said with a smile, "We both want to help take care of the baby. Oh, but see what we are doing
now."
In fact, they just couldn't do much to help. Jean ran Lorlene Jewelry herself and she could arrange
work time at will. She handled lots of the work at home and she could take care of the baby at the
same time.
As for Arthur, you could simply say he was fascinated with loving and spoiling his daughter and wife.
He rushed to do everything and did it all by himself, leaving nothing in the hands of Selina and Abigail.
So, they just hung out together to enjoy themselves.
More importantly, they had a tacit understanding. If one of them must go out or leave their daughter
home, the other one would surely come home to stay with their baby girl. In a word, the baby girl would
be there with her father or mother around. It seemed that her grandparents were needless there.
Selina used to get sentimental and burst into tears when she was chatting over tea with Abigail. At first,
it scared Abigail because she wondered if something unhappy had happened.
However, it turned out to be tears of joy. Selina spoke highly of Arthur and said he was really a perfect
husband and father. Jean got so lucky to meet him.
Selina complained in tears that Harold hadn't changed a diaper for their daughter when she gave birth
to Jean, not to mention looking after her or caring about her. What made things worse was that she still NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
had to cook meals for him and took care of him, the so-called master of the family.
The worst was that he complained he couldn't sleep well because the baby cried at night, so he moved
out of the master room to keep away from them.
Selina was furious whenever she mentioned it. She also said it had made her compare and despair.
She felt Harold was even more terrible and hateful when she compared him with Arthur, and she just
didn't want to see his face again.
Abigail heard it and sighed lightly. A majority of men were careless, and a few of them were as selfish
as Harold. But she thought Arthur had done a great job and she was so proud of him.
"It's not easy for him to marry a good girl like Jean. Of course, he loves her and cares about her with
his heart and soul," Abigail told Selina like that and praised Jean by the way.
Indeed, Abigail meant what she said. She couldn't be happier with Jean and she liked Jean more and
more over time.
Jean was thoughtful and filial. She decided to deliver the baby in Riverside City only because she
wanted to make it more convenient for them to see the baby more often. Abigail was touched.
What was more, she was pretty and had a good temper. She couldn't help thinking that his boring son,
Arthur, who didn't have a gift of gab, must have been favored by God to have married Jean.
Lots of women hated their daughters-in-law, and especially they couldn't bear to see their sons demean
themselves humbly in front of their wives. But to Abigail, she believed she could only stay untroubled
and enjoy life comfortably when the young couple loved and cared about each other.
How nice it was! She couldn't understand why so many mothers-in-law asked for trouble and kept
finding faults with their daughters-in-law.
Some mothers-in-law even started and provoked fights between the sons and their wives and urged
them to get divorced, which Abigail found hard to believe.
