Homecoming (3)

Marga was still sleeping soundly, he was looking at her lovely face, she seemed to be at peace, since he don't want to wake her up, he just made a call to the Elder Lim.

"Hello Grandpa, it's me. I called home to let them know about Marga's homecoming party, ahm, my Father said that he would like the party to be done there instead since my Aunt is not so well." there was a hint of hesitation in his voice.

After a short silence "And what did Margaret say, does she also want her homecoming party to happen back in your mansion?" he asked, he already investigated George Son, he was also a businessman but lived a simple life, Fatima, his sister was the one who adapted Margaret, and now sick with an incurable disease with the bones. According to his investigation, Fatima is already on the last stage of her disease and she might be able to stay alive for long.

He has to accept that this family played a very important role in Margaret's upbringing and they did gave her love and care that he was not able to in the last few years, especially Fatima.

"Marga doesn't know about it yet, she is still asleep, so I decided to let you know what is happening on our side Grandpa." he know his wife well, she would definitely not have a party instead of having an argument about it.

"Well, it is fine with me, I have no problem with it, but your Father needs to talk to Johanna, Margaret's aunt, since she is the one organizing everything for her party. But of course, Margaret has the last say to everything." Elder Lim said, he too was in an awkward position, how can he tell his niece that her efforts might go to waste because his granddaughter's adapted family can't come to Fountain Country, hmmm.

"Well then grandpa, I will call again once Marga is awake and has already decided." then he hung up the phone, it seems that the both of them are in the same position, as for Marga's aunt, Johanna, he will let his father deal with her.

Marga slowly opened her eyes, her body was weak all over, and she also has a tube connected on her arm, so everything did really happened, she was not dreaming at all, she now has a grandpa. She was smiling to herself when Stephen saw her "You're finally awake. It's nice to see you smiling Marga, how are you feeling?" Stephen went beside her and put his hand palm down on her forehead, she was having a slight fever a while ago, good thing it was gone now.

"I think I'm hungry, do we have food?" she said shyly. She has been emotionally tired today, and now she even skipped her meals, that could be why her stomach was growling now. "Yep, I already ordered some food for you, wait here." then he went out to the living room to bring the cart of food to their bedroom.

"I have something to tell you, but you need to eat first" Stephen said while preparing the spread for Marga. Her brows creased, "tell me now, you know I don't like surprises." she then grabbed a potato fritters, she was having steak with fritters in sweet barbecue sauce. Stephen cut the steak into bite size and she can't help but swallow a mouthful, "Hey! chew your food properly, do you want to have your stomach ache again?" he remembered the last time Marga overate and had a terrible stomach ache that she almost fainted.

"I'm chewing it properly Stephen, I'm just so hungry. Can I have more?" while slowing to chew her food to show her husband that she was listening. "Yeah, I ordered another for you, I know how hungry you might be due to all that happened. I will also remove your I.V. fluid after you eat." Stephen said while standing and getting the other tray of food.

Marga was again impressed, this man knows him better than anyone else she knows, he even knows that she will need two trays of food right after waking up,hmmm.

"After you're done eating, there is a surprise waiting for the living room. You need to eat a lot, you may need your energy for the surprise." he cheekinly winked at her, he did not know how else to tell Marga about the things in their hotel living room.
