My Supermodel Wife

Chapter 351 - Arrival Of The Irwan Family

However, Jean caught Lilia back and dragged her into the kitchen.

"Have something to eat before leaving. They won't be able to get to the hospital that fast." Jean said as he sat Lilia down at the dining table.

Lilia was stunned when she saw a bowl of vegetable soup that had been warmed on the table. He stared at him for two seconds before turning to the man beside him.

"Don't you ever rest?" Lilia protested half joking.

By the time they returned to the Skyline Apartments from the hospital, it was half past eight in the morning. But at one o'clock in the afternoon, the food was still hot and the kitchen still smelled good. If Jean prepared everything, when did that man have time to rest?

Lilia bit her lip, then grabbed Jean's hand. "Sorry… I'm your wife, but you have to prepare food and clean the house. I…"

Before Lilia could finish her sentence, Jean had hugged her tightly.

"Who said that I married you because I wanted you to prepare my food and clean the house for me?" Jean replied firmly. "The fact that you are my wife has nothing to do with your ability to do household chores."

"I-I know!" Said Lilia. "But a wife should be responsible for taking care of the house ...!"

"I don't care what other people say." Jean interrupted Lilia softly, but firmly. "I don't mind if I cook and clean the house. Instead I will be happy if I can lighten your burden. Just like how you want to help with my work, I also want to help you. Lilia, you don't need to feel guilty about this trivial matter. "

Lilia leaned her head on Jean's shoulder and closed her eyes. "Yes… alright. Thank you for being a wonderful husband, Jean. "

Jean chuckled and kissed the woman's forehead. "Hearing you say that alone is enough as a gift."

"But!" Lilia pulled herself away from Jean and looked at him with determination. "When we return to Surabaya, I will learn to cook and clean the house from Sister Mei! Then I'll cook delicious food for you, Jean! "

The man smiled gently and nodded. "I'm looking forward to your cooking, Lilia. Now, let's eat before the soup cools. "

After a rushed lunch, Lilia rushed to the hospital with Jean.

*****

That afternoon, the sky looked very blue and bright. The wind was blowing lightly and there were several thin clouds dancing in the sky. When Lilia and Jean arrived at the hospital, they arrived almost at the same time as Mellisa's parents.

Outside the parking lot, Lilia just got out of the car while wearing her jacket. He headed to the back seat door of the car to retrieve the items prepared for Mellisa.

Just then, a call came from behind Lilia. "Miss ... ahem, Lilia."

Even though the person who called out her name immediately corrected her words, Lilia already knew what that person meant. He turned and faced his birth mother, Janice.

The middle aged woman was still in a graceful posture. A camel's coat reaching to his ankles wrapped around his body. The hem of her coat blew in the wind, exposing the designer clothes underneath. Janice was standing not far from Lilia looking at her with wide eyes.

"Mrs. Janice." Lilia nodded politely with an emotionless face. He greeted the woman like a stranger, even though they were actually by blood.

Behind Janice, Lilia saw Richard standing a few paces away. The man looked at her with a rather complicated look.

"Lilia, I ... want to go in and see Mellisa. Can you please take me?" Janice asked carefully.

Compared to Janice's dignified and regal figure last night, today that woman seems even more cautious. Maybe he didn't know how he should face the girl in front of him. Even though Janice had tried to call Lilia closer, her mouth was still unfamiliar.

Lilia thought for a moment, but before she could answer, Jean had closed the backseat door. The man walked towards her carrying Mellisa's belongings. Jean only nodded briefly at Janice and Richard without saying anything. Instead, he wrapped his arm around Lilia's shoulders and glanced over at the inpatient department.

"Come on in, it's quite strong out here. I don't want you to get sick from standing outside for too long." Jean said to Lilia. She acted as if Janice and Richard weren't here.

"Ah ... alright." Lilia answered. Then he turned and looked at Janice, who was looking at him expectantly. Lilia was silent for a moment before finally saying, "Mrs. Janice, Mr. Richard, please come with me."

He wasn't sure if Mellisa wanted to meet his parents. But Lilia still brought them in because at least that was basic etiquette for treating a guest.

After all, Lilia and Mellisa's business with the Irwan Family wasn't over. Avoidance is not a long-term solution.

As Lilia and the others got closer to the ward Mellisa occupied, she saw someone from a distance. Leonard seemed to be talking to the doctor treating Mellisa in the corridor.

As they drew near, Leonard turned his attention to them for a moment. Then he said a few words to the doctor before walking toward them.

He looked at the paper bag Jean was carrying and automatically raised his eyebrows. "Is this all you brought to Mellisa?" Leonard asked. Her tone indicated that she felt the amount was too much!

Lilia smiled and explained, "These are Ms. Mel's daily necessities. I thought it would be better if she could use the things she normally wears."

Leonard pursed his lips, but he said nothing more. Only then did he turn his attention to Mellisa's parents who were walking behind them.

Leonard's expression instantly cooled. When she saw Richard, she asked in a deep voice, "Did Mr. Richard come today to explain to us?"

Until now, this parent couple has not reappeared in front of Mellisa. Were they here after confirming that Leila was well? Only then did they find time to visit their unpleasant daughter in the hospital?

From the bottom of his heart, Leonard did not appreciate Janice and Richard's favoritism towards their own daughters. According to him, a princess like Mellisa was priceless. Although that woman tends to be rude and arbitrary, but she has the most loyal heart. Mellisa was willing to sacrifice for the sake of others, something Leila wouldn't do.

What good is a woman like Leila, who seems well-mannered but is actually hiding her tricks?

At this moment, Richard's expression turned dark when he heard Leonard's blunt question. He felt a little offended, but he hid it and took one step forward. Richard looked closely at Leonard.

"As Mellisa's father, I will definitely give him an explanation. How is he ... now?" Richard asked a little awkwardly.

After hearing her husband's question, Janice stepped forward too. His expression was colored with intense anxiety. "Yes, is Mellisa all right now?" Janice urged Leonard.

Maybe in this world, there is no parent who does not love his own flesh and blood. But there must be eccentric parents. In fact, the two people before Lilia were one of them!

Lilia stared at Mellisa's parents for a moment. But he didn't stay there long to watch their argument. Lilia grabs Jean and they enter the ward to drop off Mellisa's stuff.. He also needs to ask the older brother if he wants to meet his parents.
