255. Like A River

"This is Jack's favourite vegetable, corn spinach. And this is his favourite fish, grilled carp. You must eat a lot to stay strong and healthy until your wedding." Leona said happily. But not with the young doctor who seemed distressed to hear it. Carol looked at Jack intently while occasionally pursing her lips in annoyance. The man being stared at looked back with an amused smile because he saw the beautiful doctor's expression.

"How long have you two been dating?" Leona suddenly asked while shoving a spoonful of vegetables into her mouth. Jack saw his mommy start to eat voraciously, and a smile appeared on her beautiful face. Carol, who saw Jack smile, sighed softly. Should I play this act? She thought.

"It's been a while, mom. Carol was so busy at the hospital that she didn't have time to stop by our house." Jack replied with his lips taking a sip of spinach but his eyes turned to Carol, who was looking down with a sad look on her face.
