Chapter 289 – Accompany me to see my grandmother
Filip was awakened by Starry’s cell phone ringing and opened his eyes to find himself still in the car.
He subconsciously looked over to the side and Starry in the driver’s seat was asleep.
Filip hurriedly took the phone and answered it, “Hello?”
“Miss. Bradley, your takeout has been delivered to the downstairs of the inpatient unit, please come out and get it.”
Filip was stunned for a moment, “I see.”
After hanging up the phone, Starry, who was on the side, also woke up.
“Has the takeout arrived?”
Filip raised his hand and touched her cheek, “Hungry?”
Starry looked at him and smiled with hooked lips, “Ordered for you.”
It was fine if she didn’t say it, but as soon as she did, Filip felt hungry.
“I’ll go up and check on the old lady, you wait here.”
Starry thought for a moment, “That’s fine.”
She was in the hospital almost a day, this time old Mrs. Pearson also fell asleep, Filip went up is to see a peace of mind.
The snow was still falling outside the car window and it was cold to look at.
Starry took the scarf off and wrapped it around Filip’s neck, “Well, go ahead, the takeout is getting cold.”
The beige scarf was not very abrupt, Filip looked down, there was still Starry’s body heat on it, he pushed the door open and got out of the car.
The night was very windy and Filip walked quickly into the inpatient unit with his umbrella.
Starry ordered the take-out on the side inside the door. Filip took the take-out and carried it into the elevator.
At this hour, the entire hospital is quiet, not to mention this inpatient unit.
Inside the ward, the old lady was asleep, and so was Martha in the crib next to her.
Filip pushed the door in, just to walk in, remembering that he was covered in snow and wind, and finally stopped at a meter distance in front of the hospital bed.
After watching for a while, he turned around and left the ward.
From a distance of three or four meters, Filip saw Starry yawning inside the carriage.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
He couldn’t help but smile a little and walked over to the driver’s seat, “I’ll drive.”
Starry gave him a look, lifted his leg and moved to the passenger side: “Eat something first, otherwise it will be cold when you get back later.”
She sat back down and pointed to the takeaway Filip was carrying in his hand.
It was a big night and Starry guessed that Filip didn’t have much appetite, so he ordered congee for him.
“Good.”
Filip didn’t refuse the offer, his stomach really wasn’t feeling too well at this time.
Outside the car window snow drifting, but inside the car is very warm.
Filip sipped his porridge as Starry leaned back in his chair and looked at him with a slight inclination of his head.
Neither of them spoke, just enjoying the quiet warmth.
old Mrs. Pearson’s injuries were not serious, but not light, and finally, under the persuasion of all parties, the old lady was still hospitalized for nearly a month before being discharged.
On the day of discharge, Starry brought a bouquet of flowers and took old Mrs. Pearson back to the old house together with Filip.
Florence also had time for one of the few times the Pearson Family was together, and Martha persuaded Starry to stay for lunch.
This time, Starry didn’t refuse.
Lilly was now afraid to say anything else when she saw Starry, and she was silent at the dinner table.
For Filip and Starry things, no one asked nor mentioned, but old Mrs. Pearson and Florence two mother and daughter always have some ideas in mind.
It was a beautiful day and after lunch, old Mrs. Pearson asked Martha to push her out into the garden to get some sunshine.
Starry sat with her for a while and then went back, she had to talk to Scarlet about the new article today.
Filip originally wanted to see her off, but she stopped her: “You are rarely free, so spend more time with the old lady.”
Hearing this from her, Filip couldn’t say something: “Tell me when you get home.”
Starry smiled a little, “Good.”
In the garden.
Martha excused herself to make tea and left Florence and old Mrs. Pearson, mother and daughter.
The two looked at Filip and Starry in the direction of the distant doorway, and Florence spoke first: “Mom, Filip’s affair with Miss. Bradley, when is it going to happen?”
old Mrs. Pearson narrowed her eyes: “I’m old, young people’s affairs, where I can manage so much.”
Florence sighed: “I see Miss. Bradley does not seem to have the idea of marriage, Filip and he …”
old Mrs. Pearson heard Florence’s words and gave her daughter a look: “You are not living as well as I, a wife, and you still don’t know what kind of person that nephew of yours is?”
“I know what kind of person Filip is, but they are not young, Filip will be thirty-three after the New Year, and Miss. Bradley is also thirty, right? They are young and do not know what to do, we as elders, can not also follow the nonsense, right?”
old Mrs. Pearson snorted coldly: “I think you are really old, and you are starting to learn those old men and women’s nosy behavior!”
Florence felt wronged: “Mom, how am I that kind of person?”
“Then why are you worrying so much? If you have the heart to care about Filip, you might as well care about your good daughter! If you don’t care, you’ll be crying later!”
When it comes to Lilly, Florence’s head is all over the place.
She looked at old Mrs. Pearson and saw that she looked old-fashioned and smiled, “I’m the one who’s talking too much.”
old Mrs. Pearson gave her a look: “Starry is a person with an idea, Filip is not a child, they both know what’s going on in their hearts!”
Filip just sent Starry out of the door folded over to this side, did not want to come over to hear old Mrs. Pearson this sentence.
He was slightly shaken, remembering the days when old Mrs. Pearson forced him to go on a blind date, and now he can kind of understand her original intention.
“Auntie, what are you talking about?”
Hearing Filip’s voice, Florence inclined her head and looked at Filip, subconsciously wanting to ask him about his affair with Starry.
But when the words came to her lips, she finally changed them: “Nothing, talking about your indisputable sister.”
“What did Lilly do again?”
Florence frowned for a moment and opened her mouth about something Lilly had recently committed.
Filip listened and also frowned: “Aunt you just stop her card.”
I have to say that Filip this trick really works, Florence stopped Lilly’s card, Lilly instantly absent, and no longer mention the matter of entering the entertainment industry.
December is quickly coming to an end, and this year is almost gone.
On the night of New Year’s Eve, Filip had a very important dinner party, so the two had to give up eating dinner together.
But fortunately, there is still quite a bit of time after the meal, and the two can still be together during this time of welcoming the new and resigning the old.
When the New Year’s fireworks were in full bloom, Filip had a moment when he wanted to ask for his hand in marriage.
But it was only a fleeting thought, and after that firework fell, his mind was put away.
It was Starry who opened his mouth, “Are you free tomorrow?”
He hugged the person tightly and looked down at her, “Legal holidays, of course I’m free.”
Starry looked at him and smiled, “Then go with me to see my grandmother.”
