30 30 Spur of the Moment Marriage Meeting (1/2)

”Does this include last night? If that is the case then she should stay another night. She had a bad episode that I was able to handle because I am used to them. I may just be a nurse but I think it would be best for her to stay a few more days.” Aiko looked at Amelia and her eyes were saying that she was sorry.

”I would agree with Aiko. I did not do well last night and if Gabriel is leaving then I might panic and send myself into a deeper panicked state as I do not know what is going on.” Amelia tightened her grip on the blanket in her lap.

There was a knock on the door, then Edward and Irene walked into the room. Irene ran to Amelia's side and touched her face. ”You look a lot better than last night but you look so serious.”

”Good morning, Mother. You are up early.” Amelia let go of the blanket and hugged Irene.

Edna was sitting and holding back her tears. 'It is just so sad.' She dabbed her eyes. ”Suzuki- san, I was thinking of making some fresh tea. Would you care to join me?” She got up and patted Irene on the shoulder before picking up the tray of two pots.

”Oh, of course, I will give you a hand.” Irene stopped hugging Amelia and got up. ”I will be back in a moment.

After the ladies left, Edward looked at Clarence. ”So what is the verdict?”

”She needs to stay for monitoring for a few more days. Gabriel and you are going to go hunting for supplies for the medicine so that we can cut the cost down. The medicines we make here are all made by Gabriel now. He will not fail you.” Clarence looked over at Amelia as she was sitting on the bed looking somewhat lost in thought.

”She had an attack last night, I know that is something that you do not want to hear about but I think that it is important that she stay here. Your wife is welcome to stay as long as she likes. Aiko will be here to help as well.” Gabriel got all the papers together and stacked them at the beginning of the book.

”Okay, if that is what you feel like should happen then that is what we will do. I will go with you. I want to learn about Amelia's medicine and the usual person that makes it has increased the price. So it would be best to have someone else make it.” Edward bowed to the two people. ”We are in your debt.”

”No, no that is not what you should say. We will hopefully be family after this. That is if you guys do not mind.” Clarence looked over at Amelia.

Edna and Irene came back. ”I think that since everyone is here. Maybe we can do the meeting now. Since Father and Gabriel are going to hunt for the herbs for my medicine.” Amelia slowly sat up and set the pillow behind her back until she was sitting up straight. ”I know that this is not ideal but it is not a bad idea.”
