Oscar rarely came here, so Loredana and Cormac had to entertain him. Since the conditions in the hospital were limited, they went outside to have dinner.
Loredana didn’t go as she stayed in hospital and was looked after by Maxina.
They went as a group.
After dinner, they went home separately and Cormac arranged a hotel for Oscar.
When Armand and Theresa returned home, Elizabeth was sitting in the living room and watching the television while Dora was washing the fruit and peeling it aside. As she saw them come in, she immediately stood up, “Brother and sister are back.”
Dora had no idea how to call them in the past few days, so Elizabeth suggested, “You call me grandma, call them brother and sister.”
Thus she called them in that way.
Elizabeth preferred it and they didn’t have any objections as there was nothing wrong with the address since she was young.
Theresa gave her a response.
“Has sister eaten yet? Do you want me to prepare some food?” she smiled and asked politely.
Theresa said, “No need, we’ve eaten outside.”
Elizabeth beckoned, “Come and sit down.”
Theresa walked over and Armand walked before her and asked, “What happened, grandma?”
“Nothing, can’t you guys watch TV with me for a while?” she felt uncomfortable as she thought Armand only cared about Theresa since they had made up this time and had neglected her. Obviously, her tone was unpleasant. Theresa felt tired but still had to pretend with a smile, “Are you unhappy? Is it because you feel that we’ve spent less time with you?”
Elizabeth held her hands, “You’re the most understanding one who knows my mind well.”
She lowered her head and didn’t say anything.
“Dora, serve the soup to your sister,” she ordered.
Dora got up and went to the kitchen to get the soup while Theresa trembled slightly when she heard it.
She lifted her eyes, “Can I not drink it?”
“No,” she was particularly resolute.
Dora walked over with a bowl of soup.
“Bring it to the room,” Armand said.
He knew Theresa reject it. That was why he asked Dora to carry it to the room so that she could pour it out if she didn’t want to drink. Elizabeth felt unhappy and stared at him, “What do you mean?”
“I don’t mean anything, she has just eaten, I’m afraid she won’t be able to drink it. She would drink it later after she has digested.”
“She has to drink it while it’s hot, otherwise it would turn cold.” Elizabeth didn’t listen to Armand and told Dora to serve her the soup.
Theresa couldn’t refuse but to take it.
Before she even drank it, she already wanted to vomit.
When she first started to drink it, she only felt the heavy fishy smell. Until once she saw Elizabeth bring back a bag with something extremely fishy inside and asked Dora to clean up, she asked what it was.
Then she told her it was a herbal medicine that was used as a tonic.
However, when she took a picture of it and looked it up online, it turned out to be …
Then she took a picture and Googled it. It turned out to be a placenta, and it was indeed beneficial for health.
But…
For Theresa, it was simply unacceptable.
As long as she thought of what it was, her stomach twitched fiercely. She couldn’t even imagine the feeling of drinking the soup stewed by the placenta.
“Come on, Theresa, just drink it while it’s hot. The doctor said your body was still weak and you will need this. This is the best tonic I can get. Just eat meat as well. This is beneficial for your body…”
“Eh…”
Before Elizabeth could finish speaking, Theresa had almost thrown up just smelling the taste of the soup.
She ran to the bathroom rapidly and vomited all the food she ate.
Armand gently patted her on the back. “Is the soup really that bad?”
He didn’t know what was inside that soup, but what he knew was that Theresa couldn’t accept it.
Theresa washed away the filth, rinsed her mouth, and looked up at him. “Armand Bernie.”
Armand asked, “Well, what can I do for you?”
“I’m afraid I can’t hold on to it much longer, so I need to get you ready for what’s coming next.” If this went on, she would lose her mind.
She could put up with most things, but she had a bottom line, and this soup thing had crossed the line.
“I have already made a concession, don’t push me again and again, you have to consider my feelings…”
“I know.” Armand reached out to wipe her mouth, but Theresa turned her head away, “I can’t drink that soup.”
Armand’s hand froze awkwardly. He curled his fingers and retracted slowly.
“Okay, fine, you go in there first, I’ll talk to grandma.”
Theresa walked past him sideways.
“Theresa…”
“Grandma.”
Elizabeth wanted to call her back but was then interrupted by Armand. He walked over, pushed Elizabeth into the room, and told Dora, “Throw away the soup…”
Elizabeth’s eyes popped widely. “Do you have any idea how hard I managed to get this? And you just throw it away?”
It was impossible to get the placenta without the help of staff in the hospital. And that was quite expensive!
Dora stood up and asked, “Am I throwing it away or not?”
“Don’t you do that!”
