Erwin didn't take Dylan's teasing to heart. Dylan felt bored, talking about the main thing: “This time, you still can't talk. Erwin, you haven't talked for a long time, it will take a long time for the vocal cords to heal."
"Don't try too hard, don't pressure yourself!" Dylan seriously instructed: "This week, you must eat liquid food, not try to speak even a single sentence. After your condition stabilizes, you can start practicing speaking again.”
As a doctor, Dylan Johnson is very dedicated, reminding: "Even if the surgery is successful, we will still be prepared for the unexpected."
“Bleeding and infection at the surgical site. The rate of occurrence is low but cannot be subjective. Or you could have a drug allergy. And most likely, your voice also has a change.” Dylan's voice softened, and he smiled, "But don't worry, our team won't let that happen."
“Ah, right!” Before leaving the hospital room, Dylan Johnson suddenly turned his head and said: "After surgery, because your tongue is under pressure from the scope, the sensation in your tongue will be reduced, which can last up to several weeks. "
Having said that, Dylan Johnson immediately left, giving Frank and Erwin space to chat. Right now, Franky was studying Erwin's throat intently. He exclaims: "I didn't expect you to be mute in real life!"
Erwin Wilson reluctantly shrugged. He didn't want to either, all because of the original owner's bad father, Andy Wilson. Erwin reached for the notebook on the table and wrote, "I thought you were in city A?"
Franky James stiffened a bit, he smiled reluctantly. "I have something to do to B-city."
Erwin Wilson didn't ask much, he remembered Frederick's words the day before. Franky James and Dylan Johnson must have had something to deal with.
“So how long are you going to stay in city B?”
Franky thought for a moment and then said, "I don't know, maybe I'll stay here forever. Anyway, my business is very free.”
Erwin Wilson understood the nature of Franky's work. He was about to say more when the door suddenly opened. The one who came was Maria. She also carried a bowl to keep warm.
"Mr. Wilson, I'll cook some meat porridge," Maria said as she walked over to Erwin Wilson with the box on the table, then turned to say hello to Franky. Franky waved her hand to let her do her job.
Maria isn't a very pushy person. She immediately ran to find a clean bowl and spoon for Erwin, then poured porridge and brought it in front of him. Erwin took the porridge and then asked Maria: "Is Frederick home yet?"
Maria did not know much about Frederick Hall's work. She shook her head vaguely. "Yesterday, Paul came to the house to pick up some documents."
"Looks like Mr. Hall is in a bit of trouble." Maria hesitated: “Mr. Hall told me to prepare liquid food for you. Mr. Hall did not specify when he would return."
Maria felt a bit strange, perhaps, Erwin Wilson could have texted himself and asked Frederick Hall. Because she believed that if Mr. Wilson asked, Mr. Hall would surely answer. In Maria's eyes, the two of them were like a newlywed couple, always shy, but in each other's eyes.
But Maria didn't dare say this to Mr. Wilson, either. Perhaps this is the pleasure of this couple. Maria silently shrugged.
Erwin Wilson also knew that asking Maria might not be very effective. The best way is to ask Paul. Or, contact Frederick. But Erwin's mind flashed before he was pushed into the operating room. Erwin Wilson's eyes are a little droopy. Erwin's head is a bit chaotic right now. Erwin didn't know what his feelings were for Frederick.
It is also possible Frederick's gentle actions moved Erwin. But Erwin wasn't sure if it was liked or simply being emotional. Therefore, Erwin temporarily did not want to contact Frederick at this time. That would make Erwin's judgment wrong.
Franky James didn't know those things. He thought Erwin was missing Frederick. He had heard about Frederick and Erwin being each other's fiancé from Dylan. Although Franky was a bit surprised, it was possible that someone like Frederick could agree to marry someone else. In the past, when dating Dylan, Franky was always curious about who would make Frederick fall in love.
After that, several years passed, and Frederick remained alone, despite the pursuits of those around him. Franky and Dylan both thought Frederick must be celibate. Even Dylan once teased Frederick, asking if he had a hard-to-talk disease. Frederick didn't even respond.
Now that we have lost contact for a few years, Frederick is already engaged. And that person is also a friend that Franky met online. This world is too small, also too magical!
Erwin Wilson felt a little hungry. Fortunately, as soon as she woke up, Maria brought food. It was now past nine o'clock, not breakfast, not lunch, but Maria still arrived promptly as soon as he woke up. Erwin didn't want to think too much, but unconsciously, he still thought about Frederick.
Erwin shook his head, slowly eating a spoonful of porridge. The throat after Erwin woke up still did not feel anything, now, when eating porridge, Erwin finds it a bit difficult to swallow. Erwin managed to eat a little, then stopped, then told Maria to take it away. Maria wanted to advise him to eat a little more, but seeing Erwin Wilson's uncomfortable look, she stopped.
Waiting for Maria to leave, Franky James finished eating the fruit that Maria bought. Franky sighed and said, "Where's your family?"
Erwin Wilson smiled, shaking his head in disapproval. In the rich, they cannot discuss many things, especially internal turmoil. Not even the James family, so Franky didn't ask again.
Erwin Wilson, on the other hand, wrote on paper and started asking about Franky's story.
“What do you think about asking for help from Ian James?”
Seeing Erwin Wilson so frank, Franky James also spontaneously replied: “I didn't want to receive help from my family before. You know, so I moved the whole place. Uncle Ian, I haven't seen him in a while."
Franky James sighed, he leaned back in the chair, smiled, and said: "Although I have thought about it carefully, it is not easy to have the opportunity to meet Uncle Ian. I also can't casually run up to him to ask for help."
Erwin Wilson choked on his throat. He didn't know if he should tell Franky James that every time he went to Vanessa's office he found him attached to his wife or not?
And at this moment, there was a knock on the door. Franky James knew Erwin was not convenient. He got up and opened the door.
“Erwin, Ian, and I came to visit you…” Vanessa James said hello before she got there. But when she met Franky, she was taken aback.
Not only Vanessa, but even Ian James felt extremely surprised. He stammered, "Franky?"
Franky didn't expect to see Ian James here, either. He looked bewilderedly at Erwin and then back at Ian James and his wife.
“Uncle Ian James, Aunt Vanessa. Long time no see!" Franky James reluctantly stepped aside to let the two enter the room.
Vanessa James came in while pulling Franky's hand: “What took so long? It's been almost seven years, Franky. Where have you been all these years? I heard from your parents that you only contact them by phone."
Vanessa James examined Franky from head to toe. "What's wrong, Franky?"
Franky James choked on his throat, he patted Vanessa's hand, "I'm fine."
“My family…” Franky smiled lightly. “It's nothing. I will find time to visit my parents."
Ian James was no longer surprised. He sternly admonished: "Anything can be said clearly. This is your family. You can't leave for the rest of your life."
After teaching, Ian James put the bouquet his wife bought on the table. Ian James said to Erwin: “We went back to city B when Liv told us that you had surgery on your vocal cords. Vanessa and I immediately made a trip here.”
At this time, Vanessa James re-focuses on the critically ill patient. She sat down beside Franky and asked, “Did the surgery go well? There are no sequelae, right?”
Erwin Wilson nodded, then wrote: “I'm fine. I was going to talk to you two that day, so you wouldn't have to worry. Thank you for your visit.”
Vanessa James smiled softly and patted Erwin's head, "Don't be polite, I'm your teacher!"
