Chapter 150: An Oh-So-Wonderful Husband
Soon, Calix returned with a tray of food. He had changed into comfortable home clothes. While placing the tray on the bedside table, he instructed Mrs. Su to step out of the bedroom.
"I’ll feed my wife myself," Calix sat on the edge of the bed, facing Leslie who leaned against the headboard, "Mrs. Su, my housekeeper has prepared food. You should have some."
Mrs. Su and Mrs. An had grown closer to Aunt Wendy throughout the time they started caring for the unconscious Mrs. Xu. All three of them were able to share various kinds of topics when they met.
"Mr. Xu, I know you’ve learned it but, please remember to feed Mrs. Xu with a small quantity of food," Mrs. Su reminded Calix before leaving the bedroom. Her gaze moved from Calix to Leslie, "Mrs. Xu’s throat is still too weak."
"I understand, Mrs. Su," Calix nodded. He wasn’t offended by the advice given by Mrs. Su despite already hearing it from Dr. Mo, "I’ll call you if I need any help."
"Very well, Mr. Xu."
Leslie quietly listened to Calix and Mrs. Su’s conversation. Her eyes followed the private nurse’s back as she walked to the door. Because she was indoors now she no longer wore the sunglasses.
Soon, Leslie was left alone with Calix inside the room. Mrs. Su shut the door following her disappearance.
"Aunt Wendy made the porridge watery," Calix took off the lid before picking up the bowl from the food tray, "Look, Leslie. The eggs are so silky. Like golden threads ah."
Calix’s words put a smile on Leslie’s lips. Her gaze drifted to the bowl, seeing watery rice porridge with silken yellow egg strands.
"You can... just ask Mrs... Su to... feed me," Leslie moved her eyes to Calix, helplessness imbuing her gaze, "Aren’t you... tired?"
