“Yes, I am.” Anxious, Tina asked, “Doctor, is there anything I should pay attention to?”
“We’ll be responsible for doing her medical checkups. You should pay attention to her hygiene. For example, washing her hair, helping her change, and disinfecting everything around her.”
While the doctor was speaking, he sized up Tina.
“Being a caregiver is not a one-man job. It’s very mentally taxing and physically exhausting as well. Are you sure you can handle it?”
“I can!” Tina said. “I’ve done hard labor before. This is nothing to me.”
The doctor complied. “Alright, then. I wish you all the best.”
“Thank you, doctor.” When Tina was about to leave, the doctor stopped her and gave her stern advice.
“Right, I almost forgot. Make sure to not upset Madam Langford in any way. Today, she almost relapsed the moment she woke up. It’s best to refrain from telling her anything that will get her riled up for no reason. It’s important that she has peace of mind.”
“Alright, I understand.” Tina nodded.
It seemed Tina should wait for a few more days to inform Madam Langford about her pregnancy. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
For the next few days, Tina didn’t leave the hospital ward at all. She stayed beside Madam Langford and tended to the old woman’s every need.
Tina did everything from cleaning Madam Langford’s body, cutting her nails, to spoon feeding her.
Normally, such chores would require a few maids. However, Tina did everything on her own
Grateful, Madam Langford held Tina’s hand and said, “Tina, you shouldn’t do all these by yourself. It’s an exhausting job. I can ask the maids to do all the chores.”
“No!” Tina rejected the idea flatly. “Grandma, I’m your granddaughter-in-law. It’s only natural for me to take care of you.”
Madam Langford’s eyes turned red instantly. “You’re such a kind soul. I knew you’re different from the others.”
“Grandma, don’t cry!” Tina chided Madam Langford gently. “If you cry, the doctor will blame me for making you upset! Do you want him to chase me out of here?”
“Okay, okay. I won’t cry. Are you satisfied now?” Madam Langford smiled brightly. Only then was Tina satisfied.
Heavy footsteps echoed from outside the hospital ward. “Mr. Langford,” the bodyguards outside greeted Samuel politely. Samuel went inside the ward. When he saw Tina taking care of his grandmother, his eyes
turned solemn.
He thought about Cindy, whose health had been deteriorating because she was grieving over Madam Langford’s disapproval of her status in the Langford family. The doctor told him that if Cindy went on like that, the baby’s life would be in jeopardy. ‘This is what Tina wants, isn’t it?’ he thought. Samuel had already seen through Tina’s facade.
With her excellent acting skills, she had successfully fooled Madam Langford. Then, she took advantage of his grandmother to chase Cindy out of the household. What a scheming woman! “Samuel, you’re
here!” Madam Langford said. “Hello, Grandma.”
“Come here and sit down,” Madam Langford chuckled. “It’s all because of me that you haven’t seen your loving wife for a few days. You won’t blame me for that, right?” A loving wife?
When Tina heard the way Madam Langford addressed her, her ears went red.
Samuel didn’t reply, and instead grabbed the bowl away from Tina. “I’ll take over from here on. You should go and rest.” Madam Langford smiled brightly. “Oh, Samuel! That’s so sweet of you! Tina, he’s right, you should get some rest.” Tina smiled bitterly. She knew Samuel hated her so much that he couldn’t even stand being in the same room with her.
She exited the ward, about to head to the resting lounge.
Right at this moment, someone barred her way.
“Miss Lynd, I have something to tell you.”
