After that she took Coco back while Ethan said a little loudly," Hello Dr. Wood , myself Ethan Smith,".
Edith nodded and said," Oh, thank you Mr. Smith for saving Coco from falling, and it's nice to meet you,".
Grandpa William who saw them whispering to each other said in a suspicious voice," What secret talks you two were doing a while ago,".
But Edith swiftly changed the topic," It's nothing Old man, did you do your breakfast ,".
Grandpa William said," No, about to do it,".
Suzie looked at Edith and said," Ed, go and freshen up and come fast for breakfast, Ethan and others are waiting for you , they have something to talk about with you,".
Edith looked at her and said," Ok mom, I will be back in 5 mins , did they eat something ? ," she said while looking at her dogs.
Leo looked at her and said," Yes they did , they are not lazy as you,".
Edith glared at him and turned around to leave without saying a word but as soon as she reached the stairs she looked back at him and saw him looking at her and she smirked and winked at him while running towards his room with her dogs.
Leo got the hint what she was upto and immediately stood up from his chair and screamed while running after her," Ed nooooooo,".
Everyone was shocked to see this and Lana asked in confusion," What was that ? Why did he run up the stairs like this ?,".
Robin shook his head and said," Don't think about it guys , they are just like that, today Leo disturbed her sleep and left the dogs in her room which forced her to wake up and Ed is not a forgiving person she will only get her peace back when she will get back at him, and that exactly she go to do now,".
Lana again asked," And how will she do that?,".
This time Suzie replied," Probably by destroying his room, everyone knows how clean freak Leo is , she always does this,".
Grandpa William said in an embarrassed tone," How Immature they are , they have grown up so much but still fight like kids,".
Alice looked at William and said," Not only them Grandpa , I and James are also like this even now, every brother and sister are like this,".
Lana looked at Ethan and said," Not every Sis, I have a very boring brother,".
James chuckled and said," True,".
Ethan glared at them and they both immediately shut up.
After 5 mins Leo came down with dogs and with a sore face and walked towards the garden and left the dogs there and then came back to the dining table and sat down.
Robin looked at his sore face and said," Leo ? ,".
Leo looked at him and said in an irritated tone" Dad I'm telling you I will kill her one day , or just get her married now , she is already 25 and getting old,".
Edith who was coming down the stairs after washing her face and securing her hair with a clutcher said with a mocking tone," Aww, my baby brother is angry with me , don't forgot you were the one who told me to comeback because you were missing me and forget about my marriage , I'm not going to leave you and get married ever,". After that, she took a seat on the right side of the table beside Ethan.
Leo started to eat his breakfast with a grumpy face and said," Whatever,".
When Lana, James , Alice , Robin and Suzie heard Edith saying that she is not going to marry anyone ever they all looked at William with a weird face. While Ethan just ignored Edith's word.
William looked at them and said," Guys let's eat," after that he looked at Ethan and others and said," Why are you guys not eating anything, here take these ," after saying that he passed pancakes to them.
Ethan smiled and said," Thanks Grandfather but we already had our breakfast, you all can continue,".
Edith took the pancakes from the plate and said," It's fine Mr. Smith but don't sit like this , it will not be nice if we all are eating and you all are just sitting like that without eating anything , these pancakes are made by my mom and I can guarantee you that they are the best pancakes you will ever have,".
Leo also said," Yeah that's why pancakes are her favorite , I think you all should try it,".
Edith smiled and said," Yeah and they taste like heaven when you eat them with hot chocolate, best combination ever,".
Ethan who heard this looked at Edith in surprise while James also had the same expression.
James looked at Edith and said in surprise," You also like pancakes with hot chocolate ?,".
Edith looked at him and said with a confused tone," You also ?,".
James replied," Yeah Maria also loves to eat pancakes with hot chocolate , it's her favorite,".
Edith again looked at him with a confused face and said," Maria ?,".
" My daughter, " said Ethan while looking at her.
Edith looked at him in surprise and said," You have a kid ?,".
Grandpa William looked at her and said," Not a kid but kids , he has 5 yrs old twins, one girl and one boy,".
Edith smiled and said," Ohh wow, they are small , what is the name of the boy ?,".
Ethan replied," Louis,".
Edith said," Hmm, Louis and Maria , cute,".
James looked at Edith carefully and exclaimed in surprise," Now , when I see , you have similar eyes like them, see ". After saying that he showed the picture of Maria and Louis.
Lana and Alice also look at Edith when they hear this , they didn't even notice that till now.
Lana said in surprise," Also similar features like Maria,".
Edith who was looking at the pictures said while zooming the picture," Human puppies , Oh god they are so cute , and yeah you are right little girl's face is similar to mine , I can bet if I had a daughter she would definitely look like her," but after saying that she stopped and stared at the kids photo without saying a word while everyone become silent.
Grandpa William looked at the sudden change in Edith's expression and changed the topic," Ed , eat your breakfast first ,you can talk later,".
Edith looked at Willian and then at Ethan while giving the phone back to him so that he can pass it to James and she said," They are very cute and the boy looks exactly like you. I'm sure your wife will be very beautiful Mr. Smith,".
Ethan took the phone from her and gave it to James while he said in a serious tone," Yeah she was,".
Edith, who was again eating her pancake, stopped when she heard the word ' was ' , she looked at her Grandfather and then at Ethan and said,'' Sorry? What do you mean by 'she was' ? Mr. Smith,".
Ethan suddenly took the pancakes and put them on his plate while he said calmly," She died 3yrs ago in a car accident,". After that he took a bite from the pancake and said to Suzie," It's very nice aunty,'' Suzie smiled at him and looked at Edith who was staring at Ethan.
Edith who was staring at Ethan suddenly asked," So what about the kids ?,".
Ethan and others didn't expect this question from her so they all looked at Edith.
Edith sensed their eyes on her so she just changed the topic," Ahh sorry , nothing please continue with your breakfast,".
After that she started to eat her meal, after a few seconds she heard her grandfather talking to her.
Grandpa William looked at Edith and said," By the way Ed, I forget to tell you about why Ethan and others are here, actually Ethan wanted to talk about Racheal health with you but when he tried to set a meeting at hospital your assistant told them that you are on a leave so I just call him here, and you didn't even tell us that you are on a leave today".
Edith looked at him and said in a serious tone," But I don't' attend anyone at home until and unless it's an emergency, for me everyone is equal Old man, don't do that again because then everyone will think that I gave special treatment to family and friends and Yes I was on a leave today but not anymore , I just forget to inform Caleb about the change I have some work at hospital today so I will be leaving by 10 ,".
After that she turn towards Ethan and said," Sorry Mr. Smith if I look rude but I really don't talk to my patient's family at my home and it's also not convenient for us to talk here because all the medical reports are at the hospital and without the reports we cannot talk properly, so if you don't mind we can talk at my hospital, today itself ,".
Ethan was shocked at this sudden change in Edith, because a few minutes ago and yesterday when he met her at green gardens she was so immature , careless and childish but now when she was talking about her work she has turned into a totally different person, A mature , strict doctor.
He really thought that he was talking to a different person but he didn't mind it , he really didn't mind her attitude so he said," No problem Dr. Wood , I don't mind at all. We all are free today , and we also had to go to the hospital to visit Grandma, so we can talk there,".
Lana whispered to Alice and James," Here comes the savage Dr. Edith Wood , she even rejects her Grandfather, she really is strict when it comes to her work and her own rules,".
While they were talking , Edith who heard Ethan's words smiled and said," That would be great Mr. Smith,". After that she looked at Leo and said," Leo did you get the information I asked for?,".
Leo looked at his sister who was dead serious at this time and said while taking out a file from his bag which he was keeping under the table," Yeah here look at this, who so ever is this man , he is a total jerk and yesterday he was hanging out with one of his girlfriend while you were attending his patient,".
Edith's eyes darkened when she heard this but she didn't say anything and took the file from him and started to read it. Her face turned even darker whenever she turned to another page.
Everyone can sense the dark aura coming from Edith at this time. So they just let her be and continued to their breakfast. They all were almost done with their meal but still sat there. Even Grandpa William was silent.
This time James whispered to Lana and Alice," I think Grandpa made the right decision to tie them together , just look at her face she looks so scary when she is angry and this is the same expression as Ethan when he is angry at anyone,".
Alice glared at them and said," Shut up James, don't ruin the mood," and then she looked at Edith while James also got silent.
" Bastard " came as a curse from Edith as soon as she left the file after reading it.
Grandpa William tried to change the topic, he didn't knew what was the content in that file but he was sure it made Edith angry and this was the last thing he wanted at this time so he said," Ed , you should leave for the hospital and make sure to come early tonight because Smith's are coming for the dinner tonight and we have an announcement to make,".
Edith stood up and just said," Ok," after that she took the file and turn to leave but just as she reach near the stairs she turned around and said," Old man , don't go anywhere before I come down , I have to check you B.P. and sugar,". After that without listening to anything she walked towards her room.
Ethan saw her going and stood up as he said," I think we should also leave Grandpa , We have to go and meet grandma ,".
Suzie also stood up and said," You and Edith can leave together Ethan , you both are going to the hospital ,".
Lana also said," Yes bro , I and Alice also want to play with dogs please,". After saying that she looked at Alice and winked.
Ethan looked at her and said ," Ok," .
Leo took his bag and said," I'm going for some work , will be back before dinner,". After that he also left.
Robin also said,'' I also have to leave for the company, enjoy your day guys , bye ,".
After that he looked at Suzie and William and said," Bye Suzie , Bye father,".
After that he also left , Suzie took Lana and Alice towards the garden where all 3 dogs were playing, Ethan, James and William also walked towards the garden while talking about different things.
After 30 mins ,
Edith came down well dressed in her blue ripped jeans and white shirt , sleeves folded on her arms , paired with white sneakers while her hairs were secured with a clutcher and few strands were on her face. Her face has light makeup which makes her look more fresh.
She came towards the garden and saw everyone there and walked towards them. As soon as she reached there she looked at her grandpa and said," Old man, come let's do some tests of yours,".
Grandpa William , Ethan , James were walking when Edith called William, they all turned around and looked at her , Ethan looked at her and saw her in her attire, she was looking like a college student rather than a doctor. He can't deny she was beautiful and she knows very well how to carry herself, she had a very casual look and makeup.
They all walked towards her while William said,'' Ed I'm fine , why do you daily check my health ?, and what is that look of yours , looking like a student rather than a doctor, Ugh! Why can't this girl properly dress like a doctor? Why do you always wear these casual clothes ?," After saying that he sat down on the bench where Edith was setting her B.P and Sugar machine.
Edith heard all his questions and said with a smile," Calm down Old man , or else you will get sick,". After that she held his hand and started to check his B.P first while checking she said,'' And about your questions, I'm a doctor and most importantly your granddaughter and that's why it's my duty to make sure you are healthy , and you are not that healthy as you think , you have a B.P. and sugar problem,". After saying that she looked at B.P. machine and said,'' Look its 140/90 mm Hg , you have a high blood pressure Old man, I told you to take your medicines on time , but you never listen to me , I'm telling you for the last time or else I will admit you on the hospital and will not allow anyone to visit you ,".
William's eyes widened and he said," Edith Wood, I'm your Grandfather and you can't do that to me,".
Edith looked at him and said," I can , Senior Wood , I'm your doctor first, and fast give me your finger , let me check your sugar , did you check it before eating anything ?," after that she held his finger and pinch a needle in it and when blood came out she put it on Sugar machine.
William replied ," Yeah, Leo did and it was normal,".
Edith nodded and said," Hmm , good it's also normal, just keep a check on your B.P and take medicine on time," after that she look up at him and said," And answer for your second question , Why I don't dress like a doctor because doctor's doesn't have a particular dress code Old man, and I like to dress like this because it's comfortable, and you know I don't like uncomfortable and boring things,".
After saying that she stood up and looked at Ethan and James who were looking at her and she said in surprise," Mr. Smith , Mr. Wilson , you all are still here. I thought you wanted to meet your Grandma,".
Ethan looked at her and said," Yeah, but Lana and Alice wanted to play with your dogs , and Grandfather and Aunt suggested we leave with you as you were also going there only,".
Before Edith could say anything James' phone rang and he excused himself and left to attend the call.
Edith said," No problem, we can leave now,".
Ethan nodded and they both moved towards the other side of the garden where Lana , Alice and Suzie were playing with dogs.
Upon reaching there , Edith walked towards Suzie and said,'' Mom, I'm leaving for the hospital and I'm really sorry for today.We will definitely go shopping tomorrow, I really need to handle some situation,".
Suzie smiled at her daughter and said," No problem Ed , I understand , but just try to come early today ,".
Edith smiled and said,'' Ok,". After that she walked towards her dogs and started to talk to them," Oscar, Alfie , Coco, come, come here to mommy," and the dogs who were playing with Lana and Alice immediately ran towards her, but Coco who was still small was coming towards her slowly because of his small feets.
Ethan who looked at this walked towards him and picked him up while saying," Coco, let me help me, you still have little feets,".
Edith smiled at him and said,'' Thanks Mr. Smith,". After that she talked to her dogs for a while and then looked at Lana and Alice, said,'' We can leave now,".
Lana looked at Edith's outfit and then at Ethan's and exclaimed, while they all were walking towards their cars," You both are twinning ," .
Edith and Ethan looked at each other and indeed they were twinning , Ethan was wearing his blue joggers and white t-shirt and Edith was wearing her Blue jeans and white shirt.
Edith smiled awkwardly and said,'' Yeah , what a coincidence !,".
Ethan just smiled a little but didn't say anything.
As soon as they reached near their cars , James who was talking with someone on his phone also came towards them and said," Sorry guys, I won't be able to join you now, I have to go somewhere for important work, I will directly reach the hospital in an hour,".....
