I bought some food and then headed back to the hospital.
My mom had just woken up, and it seemed like she'd need to stay in the hospital a few more days. So that means I had to frequent the hospital these days.
To avoid running into Jones again, I decided to switch my mom to a different hospital pronto.
"Where's your dad?" After moving to the other hospital, my mom finally asked me, "Why haven't you told him I'm awake?"
My heart sank a little hearing that question.
"Mom, dad's been a bit tied up these days, but he'll be back soon, " I managed to force a smile and fobbed her off.
Though I'd have to tell her about my dad sooner or later, she had just recovered and was still so weak, I didn't want to upset her.
Quickly, I tucked her in tightly and comforted her, "If dad saw you like this, he'd be heartbroken. Give it a few days, when you look better, he should be done with his stuff."
