Rika opened the door to the room, took a long step toward Ella, and asked. "Ella, are you okay? Grandpa is very worried about you. So he told me to come here to watch you. You haven't eaten, have you?"
Ella looked tiredly at Rika and replied hoarsely, "I'm fine, sorry for making you all worried."
"Let's eat some." Rika put the tray of food on the table.
"I do not want to eat." Ella shook her head.
"No. You have to eat. If you get sick, who will take care of my brother?" Rika poured food into a bowl and gave it to Ella.
Ella tries to eat a little. Rika is right, she needs to be healthy to take care of David. She doesn't want to when he wakes up to find her thin, emaciated.
Ella saw Rika out the door, took a few more steps, and then Rika spoke. "Don't worry, David will be fine."
Ella forced a smile, she nodded and said. "I believe David will wake up, for sure he will, soon."
"I also believe so." Rika patted Ella's shoulder, comforting her.
Day by day, David still showed no sign that he would regain consciousness.
Ella was still standing beside his bed. She wiped his hands and told him about past experiences, joys, and sorrows. The doctor said that, if she did this, the patient would be able to regain consciousness.
Mrs. Emma looks at the daughter-in-law she hates - caring and devoted to her son, Mrs. Emma loves this side of Ella. She had a different view of Ella.
Besides, Mrs. Emma hasn't seen Maria go to the hospital for the past few days. Maria is like disappearing from the world, she doesn't contact, doesn't mention marrying David. This makes Mrs. Emma doubt.
One day, Mrs. Emma goes to Maria's house to ask why she didn't visit David.
Welcome, Mrs. Emma is the scene of Maria sleeping with Raymon. She was quite shocked and very angry.
"How long have you two been in a relationship?" Mrs.'s eyes Emma were on fire, she clasped her hands and asked.
"If you already know, I won't hide it anymore. We've been having sex since your son was in a car accident. Do you think I'll marry a sane guy? Now, he still hasn't woken up. I have to care for a plant person for the rest of my life. Sorry, I'm beautiful but I'm not stupid." Maria smirked.
Raymon was shirtless, sitting on the bed, watching the play in front of him. Funny and interesting.
"You bastard. You betrayed my son?" Mrs. Emma shouted.
"Betrayal? No. It was your son's bad luck. Had he not been in a car accident, the Anthony family's plan to become a daughter-in-law would probably have continued. But, for now, everything was over. The poor woman you mistreat, and insult, deserves your son lying in your bed. Get out." Maria pointed to the door, rolling her eyes.
Mrs. Emma gets angry and walks out of Maria's house. The angrier she is, the more embarrassed and humiliated she is. She treated an evil, cruel person well and mistreated a person with a kind and honest heart.
Mrs. Emma returned to the hospital. Standing outside the room, she saw Ella the devoted, taking care of her son, Mrs. Emma felt ashamed. In the past, she used very strong words to criticize and insult Ella. But, when her son was in a traffic accident, Ella was still willing to take care, not angry, not scolding.
Ella dropped the handkerchief into the basin of water and carried it towards the door. She was surprised when Mrs. Emma was standing outside.
"Hello. Would you like to visit David?" Ella bowed to Mrs. Emma and asked.
Mrs. Emma looked at Ella, her eyes filled with regret. "I'm sorry..."
Ella understood what she said. She put the basin of water on the ground and sat on the chair, in front of the door.
"I don't care about that. I just hope David wakes up soon. Even if he becomes a plant person. I'll be by his side. I'll take care of him until he recovers. I'm sure he'll get well. I'm not mad at you." Ella looked at her mother-in-law and smiled.
Anyway, Mrs. Emma is also David's mother, she loves him so she doesn't want him to be awkward. If she continues to be harsh with Mrs. Emma, the mother-in-law, and daughter-in-law will not be able to get along, nor will the family be complete. Now, Mrs. Emma was much more agreeable to her than before. Mrs. Emma has realized her mistake, Ella does not want to keep the old story in her heart, think positively, and be tolerant so that her heart can be at peace, then everything will gradually become better.
Mrs. Emma took Ella's hand, her eyes filled with tears, her face full of regret for her previous misbehavior.
Ella was a bit surprised, she didn't think that the mother-in-law who had never put her in her eyes was now so gentle with her.
"I want to apologize to you for what happened. When I saw what Maria did, I realized you are a good woman. I was too selfish not to think about your feelings. While you are good. I'm so kind, but I don't know how to appreciate it. I'm sorry, forgive me, okay?"
Since her fake marriage to David, falling in love with him, breaking up with him, and up until this moment, this was the first time Ella had heard Mrs. Emma.
Ella is not a narrow-minded person, she is tough because she does not want to be affected by heavy words and an unpleasant attitude from Mrs. Emma. But, now, she has realized the right thing and knows how to cherish the daughter-in-law whom she always hated before. Ella has no reason not to get along with her.
"It's over, don't worry about it anymore."
Mrs. Emma ran a hand through Ella's hair, her caring gesture reminded Ella of her late mother.
Seeing Ella's tearful eyes, Mrs. Emma suddenly asked. "How are you? Why are you crying?"
Ella quickly wiped her tears with her hands, suppressed the pain in her heart, and answered. "Nothing, I suddenly felt a little emotional."
Mrs. Emma put her hand on Ella's shoulder, now she was very appreciative of the daughter-in-law sitting next to her.
"David has you as his wife, which is good."
Ella smiled, at this moment Mrs. Emma had changed for her, she had finally accepted Ella as the daughter-in-law of the Anthony family.
Sophie brought clothes and food to the hospital. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Ella holding David's hand, sitting blankly, looking at David's bloodless face. Sophie's heart sank, and her eyes began to turn red.
From the very beginning, Sophie had guessed that Ella was a gentle, kind woman. But, at that time, Mrs. Emma asks her to investigate Ella, so she can't help but obey her master's orders.
Sophie quietly entered the room, walking over to Ella. "Young lady, go home and rest, I will stay here to take care of the young master."
Ella's eyes were still on David, but she shook her head at the butler Sophie's offer. She sighed and went to the side to prepare warm water for David. She knows that the patient often has dry lips, so she has to prepare warm water so that in a moment, Ella can give him a drink.
