Doris stared out the window. “No.”

“Doris, we’re married,” Lewis said, glancing at Doris, who hadn’t looked at him since getting in the car.

He thought a kiss was perfectly normal for a couple.

Doris closed her eyes helplessly, her mind filled with the memory of that lingering kiss. Her ears began to heat up uncontrollably.

She tried to act nonchalant. “Just focus on driving, okay?”

Lewis stopped teasing her and kept his eyes on the road.

Soon, they arrived at His Grace Hospital.

Doris and Lewis got out of the car, with Lewis carrying the thermal lunchbox.

“I’ll take it,” Doris said, reaching for the lunchbox.

“Let’s go.” Lewis took her hand. “I’ll come in and see Mom.”

Doris wanted to pull away but gave up at the last second. She didn’t know why she gave up. They went upstairs to Peyton’s ward.

Peyton was awake, and Jimmy and Rupert were also there.

Doris pulled her hand from Lewis‘ grip, took the lunchbox from him, and placed it on the bedside table. “Mom, here’s breakfast for you.”

Lewis nodded politely to Peyton.

“Thank you,” Peyton smiled.

Doris turned to Lewis. “You can go to work now. Don’t be late.”

“Alright,” Lewis said to Peyton. “Take care.”

Lewis was about to leave when Rupert stepped in front of him. “Dear Lewis, can I talk to you about something?”
