Chapter 763 - A Bad Dream (1/2)

According to Xiu's wishes, the elders indeed went to have their own breakfast. As they all settled around the dining table and breakfast was served, none of them moved for quite a while. Each seemed to be having their own thoughts.

”Call the others for breakfast,” said Xin Zimen and waited for the younger generation to show up for breakfast.

Soon, Ying came to join them with her arm slung around Han Bohai's neck as he supported her to the table saying, ”I told you I could pick you up.”

”I'm not that useless yet,” she retorted and insisted on walking or limping her way over.

After them, Xiao Li came along with Dylan who was still refusing to eat anything and Xiao Li had to drag him over. ”Do you want me to call dad? Would you listen to me or him?” That threat worked as Dylan obediently came for breakfast.

”What about Nora?” questioned Zhao Huan.

”She is with Xiu,” replied Dylan.

Initially, breakfast was a very quiet affair. But then, ”Zimen, Xiu's arm...?”

Xin Zimen looked at Francesca and replied, ”The doctor already said we don't need to worry about it so much. Although that drug did some damage to her nerves, her arm's movement can still go back to normal with therapy. Don't think about it. Even she is not thinking about it.”

”The more she acts like it's okay, the more worry I feel,” said Francesca.

”France,” Xiao Li spoke up. ”If Xiu says she is okay with it, trust me she is okay with it.” He looked at the person who was coming their way and added, ”If you don't believe me, ask Nora.”

Nora felt everyone's gaze on herself as she sat beside her father-in-law and asked, ”Why is everyone staring at me like that?”

”Did you meet with Xiu?” inquired Xin Zimen in return.

”Yeah, I was with her. Why?”

”Xiu's dear mother-in-law is concerned about her arm.”

Nora snorted, ”She isn't even thinking about it herself though. Why are you worrying so much?”

”See? I said so,” were Xiao Li's words.

”Maybe she is just acting to be strong before us,” said Zhao Huan. ”It's possible that she doesn't want to worry us that's why she is hiding her pain.”

Nora shook her thought, ”I agree that my best friend is thoughtful but trust me, she isn't acting. For one second, I'll believe that she's acting before you all but before Darren? No way! If she is in pain, she will whine before him. Even if she is not in pain she will still whine before him to get his attention.”

”His attention is already on her though,” Dylan couldn't help saying.

Nora pointed her fork at Dylan saying, ”Exactly!” She took a pause and added, ”Right now, the only thing wrong with her is that she is talking more than she usually does. She's been constantly talking.”
