“It seems that he listens to you.” Since Lumma and Lucas were so close, Maria’s spirit improved a lot. “Okay, I’ll listen to you and go to Red Pine City.”
Maria agreed, and Lumma was happy. “Grandma, I’ll make arrangements right now.”
“Don’t rush. I have something to give you.” Maria reached into her bosom and felt nothing. Then she saw the hospital gown she was wearing and looked around anxiously, “Lumma, where is my padded jacket?”
“Grandma, don’t worry. I put it away.” Lumma hurriedly handed the padded jacket to
Maria.
Maria unfolded the padded jacket, and there was a big patch in it. She tore it, but she couldn’t tear it apart. “Lumma, help me tear apart this patch.”
Lumma tore apart this patch. It was padded, and there was a bank card in it.
Maria put the bank card in Lumma’s hand. “Lumma, your father’s compensation after the car accident and the dowry I prepared for you are on this card, and the pin number is your birthday.”
“Grandma…” Looking at the yellowed bank card in her hand, Lumma was so distressed that she shed tears. “I can make money. I don’t want your money. I just want you to be
healthy.”
“Stupid girl, what you earn is yours to keep.” Maria stroked her head. “It’s your father’s compensation and the dowry I prepared for you. You have to keep it.”
“Grandma, then I’ll accept it.” Lumma knew Maria well. If she didn’t accept it, Maria
would always think about it.
She carefully put the bank card into her bag, thinking about how to return the money to Maria in another way.
“That’s better.” Maria smiled, not paying attention to her illness at all.
In her heart, as long as Lumma was doing well, she had nothing to fear even if she died.
While chatting, Maria suddenly changed the topic and brought up Lucas again. “Lumma, you and Lucas have been married for a year and a half. Why aren’t you pregnant yet?”
Lumma was drinking water, and she got choked and coughed when she heard Maria’s question. “Grandma, we are still young. It’s no rush.”
“Lucas is twenty-eight, and you’ll be twenty-four in a few days. You are not getting any younger.” Maria said earnestly, “I believe that Catherine has taught Lucas well, but men are inconstant by nature. You need to have a baby early so that he can focus on your family.”
Lumma didn’t want to continue this topic. “Grandma, it’s getting late. You should try to
sleep.”
Maria said, “Do you think I’m being nosy? Or do you have something to hide?”
Lumma was speechless.
She and Lucas had never slept together. How could she be pregnant?
She said, “You know I was just promoted six months ago and often travel with my boss. How can I be pregnant at this time?”
Maria thought for a while. “You’re right. Family is important, but girls have to have their own careers and make money by themselves so that they have a voice at home.”
Lumma nodded quickly. “Yes, grandma, you really are a good teacher. You are enlightened.”
Maria pinched her face. “You are flattering me.
