The implication is that although you’re a doctor, you’re also a man, and you have to explain it to your good friends. But taking care of my daughter-in-law at night isn’t quite appropriate, my son might get jealous.
Tiana Thorne couldn’t help but curl her lips and lick her small tiger teeth, lazily watching her.
It must be said, mom has a high emotional intelligence, her words are flawless, human nature, and doesn’t offend anyone.
Her heart felt as if it had eaten honey, a feeling of being cared for, sweet, really nice.
Miles Xavier nodded gently: "Sorry, Aunt Jarvis, I was presumptuous."
She waved her hand and smiled: "This child, saying sorry, if you have to work the night shift, you can keep watch for . I’ll sleep on the sofa."
Upon hearing this, Miles Xavier nodded, his voice gentle: "Alright, I’ll go get busy."
"Okay."
After that, Miles Xavier left the ward.
Rouge Jarvis turned back and saw Tiana Thorne staring at the closed door, a bit lost in thought, inadvertently recalling Nathan’s words just now.
She sensed mom watching her, quickly retracting her gaze, looking at her, for the first ti with a shy smile, explaining: "I guess this is a question I can only ask you."
"What question?"
"Have you ever taken care of another son’s girlfriend?" Tiana Thorne wanted to divert her attention and asked.
Rouge Jarvis did not expect her to ask about Miles Xavier, and it’s no wonder that boy would say it directly like that.
He indeed never liked gossip about others.
"For now, you’re the first."
Tiana Thorne heard this, her smile instantly sweetened, revealing two charming, shallow dimples: "Then it’s my honor."
Rouge Jarvis didn’t speak, looking at her smile, perhaps because she had redith Ford cover for her lifeti, she didn’t find the smile pretentious at this mont.
She didn’t answer imdiately, withdrew her gaze.
Tiana Thorne also didn’t continue the topic, took a long breath, finally escaping a disaster.
If mom knew she was dating the fourth brother, she’d surely think she’s unfaithful, playing both sides, trampling her two sons.
Such a fuss would really lead to a break, she would never try to accept her again.
At night.
Tiana Thorne wasn’t in good spirits, lay down after dinner, and didn’t have the energy to scroll through Weibo, fell asleep shortly after.
Rouge Jarvis also lay down on the sofa. She closed her eyes but found herself unable to sleep anyway.
Tiana Thorne calling her mom echoed in her mind, making her heart a bit chaotic, always reminding her of her deceased daughter.
Just then, the phone screen lit up, because it was on silent, the ringtone couldn’t be heard, only the caller display: redith.
She got up, walked out into the hallway to answer the phone.
"What’s up? What’s wrong?"
redith Ford didn’t know where she had gone: "Mom, when are you coming back? I personally cooked tonight, made your favorite durian cake."
"I won’t be back lately."
"Did sothing happen? Mom, you’ve never not co ho at night before." redith Ford was sowhat worried.
"I’m fine, taking care of your sister-in-law in the hospital."
"Sister-in-law?"
Was she talking about Tiana Thorne? But wasn’t she broken up with big brother?
Rouge Jarvis turned back, peeking through the door crack inside, not seeing her awake, then said: "Tiana Thorne, your sister-in-law, she got hurt, in the hospital, your big brother is abroad, so I ca to see."
Indeed it’s her!
redith Ford’s heart sank. When did big brother and Tiana Thorne reconcile? She didn’t know at all.
Because of Tiana Thorne, she beca distant with several brothers. The last incident made big brother believe her and argue with Tiana Thorne.
She thought they had broken up.
Now mom’s personally going over, it can only an they’re reconciled again, she frowned and asked: "Don’t you dislike her? Why personally take care of her?"
"Your big brother likes her."
redith Ford was internally vexed, she finally made big brother break with Tiana Thorne, yet now it seed there weren’t any waves at all.
"She obviously has a fling with fourth brother, mom, you still go to take care of her, isn’t that encouraging her ill behaviors?"
Rouge Jarvis listened to her daughter’s accusations, suddenly feeling sowhat uncomfortable, rembering the last ti, the fourth had clarified, he was only discussing cooperation with Tiana Thorne.
Her tone beca a bit colder: "redith, rember, our Ford family does not allow scheming."
redith Ford: "..."
She finally realized she lost control, stifled her anger, softly said: "Sorry, mom, it’s just that I really didn’t slander her..."
"The truth is no longer important. Even if not officially married, she’s your big brother’s beloved. Rember this, and don’t say such things again."
"I understand."
Rouge Jarvis acknowledged and then hung up the phone, her mood affected because of this call.
redith Ford was raised by her, defying her husband’s opposition, insisting on bringing her ho.
Treasured her dearly, just because her aunt said redith had a hint of her little daughter’s soul, a sentence that comforted her for years, exactly why she would teach more attentively.
She hoped redith wouldn’t beco less pure.
Others didn’t believe in the ghost story, but she did, because when she was very young, she saw it, still unforgettable.
Thinking about this, she called Perry’s wife.
"Ma’am."
"Help keep an eye on redith, I’m worried she might do sothing bad," Rouge Jarvis said.
"Understood."
After the phone hung up, she slightly closed her eyes, only hoping, redith would not disappoint her.
Back in the room, seeing Tiana Thorne lying on the bed, she covered her again with the quilt, finally returning to the sofa, slowly closing her eyes.
...
The next day.
Tiana Thorne woke up thinking last night mom cared for her all night, the infusion took over an hour, she didn’t sleep, waited till it finished.
At this ti, she deeply understood her mother was very kind-hearted, even if she didn’t like her that much, she could still toil for her.
After breakfast, seeing her sowhat fatigued appearance, spoke: "Ms. Jarvis, May Sloane will be here soon, already downstairs. Now you go to Dr. Garrison’s room for a nap, what he said yesterday wasn’t wrong."
"Alright." She didn’t refuse, got up.
Opened the door, in view, was a very cute little nurse holding a thermoter, very delighted to see Rouge Jarvis: "Aunt Jarvis."
"It’s Selina, why are you here?"
She’s Miles Xavier’s cousin Chloe Vance, quite close to redith, used to visit the villa often when they were kids.
"I was reassigned by cousin Garrison, tasked to care for Miss Tiana, surprised you’re here too."
Tiana Thorne heard the voice, looked over, seeing Chloe Vance’s face, her calm eyes stirred with astonishnt.
