Rules of Engagement
Chapter 96 Do It By Yourself

Elsa took a deep breath, but her nose was still blocked. She nodded and said with a heavy nasal voice, "I still can't."

Because of this, she had to breathe through her mouth, so that she had to constantly drink water to relieve the pressure on her throat.

Johnson and Blanche also felt sorry for her. "Do you often stay up late and rush to the scene for news? I've told you that girls shouldn't work too hard. If you don't get well, you'll feel bad yourself, and so will we

"Mom, I'm fine." Elsa said in a muffled voice.

Johnson and Blanche planned to stay here for a few days, so Zed and Mia took them back to put their things away. After sending them out, Soren turned around to massage the bridge of her nose for her. He took off her big glasses, massaged her nose and temples, and asked softly, "Will it be better?"

"Much better." Elsa said in a nasal voice.

"Dad and mom are here. Why are you still so depressed?" Soren raised her chin to make her look at him.

He could tell that her mood had something to do with her feeling.

Elsa wanted to cover her thought. "I don't have a smooth nose. So I felt depressed."

"Get better soon. Let's take dad and mom out to walk around, okay?" Soren said childishly, putting his forehead against hers.

Elsa nodded. She saw her haggard face and red nose tip in his black eyes. It was not beautiful at all.

She felt a little embarrassed and wanted to cover herself, but Soren took her hand away and gently kissed her red lips. She was not good at kissing. Now her nose was stuffed and she could only breathe by her mouth. After a few seconds, she couldn't breathe at all. She pushed him away with one hand and covered her chest, gasping for breath.

Soren was amused and felt sorry for her. He held her in his arms and said, "Elsa."

"Yes?" Elsa replied, feeling a little embarrassed.

"It's my fault. I shouldn't have kissed you at this time." Soren apologized in a low voice and looked up at the infusion bottle. "Wait a minute. It's time to change the medicine."

Leaning against the pillow, Elsa watched him walking out of the room. Soon, he came back and called the nurse. In the past few days, he had done everything by himself, including the most private things, going to the bathroom and changing clothes. Without taking credit or saying anything else, he took care of her naturally.

Thinking of this, she couldn't think of anything else.

"You can leave the hospital. Prescribe some medicine and take it at home. Have a good rest and drink more water," said Kohl with a smile.

"Okay. Elsa's parents will come here soon. They can take care of her better than me." Soren smiled.

"You have taken good care of me." She didn't want to obliterate his credit.

Being praised by Elsa, Soren blushed. He sat beside her and whispered affectionately, "Really?"

Hearing this, Kohl couldn't help but ask, "Are Elsa's parents here?"

"Yes," Soren replied.

"Oh, okay, okay." Kohl felt a little absent-minded.

Even Elsa felt his strangeness. When he left, she couldn't help but ask Soren, "What's wrong with Dr. Xu?"

"I don't know." Soren also went out to have a look, "Maybe she is too tired. The flu is very serious recently, and people with a fever can be seen everywhere. Uncle Xu is the attending physician of the hospital. Many people have registered to have him as the attending physician."

"Okay." Elsa stopped feeling strange.

After a while, Kohl came again. He just adjusted the speed of the infusion and chatted casually, "It's a long way from YC County, isn't it?"

"Yes." Realizing that he was referring to her parents, Elsa nodded and said, "But a few years ago, a flight went into use. It is much more convenient from YC County to Linchuan City. Ren bought the air ticket for my parents, so it did not take a long time."

"Oh, I see. Your parents are so far away from you. They must delay their work by coming here to visit you. " Kohl nodded again.

"It is not the case. My mother is a teacher. She is on holiday now." Elsa could not help but chat with him. "Doctor Xu, you said you have a friend in YC County. Maybe my parents know him. YC County is not a big city. It has just developed in a few years and has become a prefecture-level city. It used to be a small town with only a few streets to go.

"Really? But my friend has been away from YC County for many years. "As Kohl spoke, he wrote something down on his notebook.

Elsa saw the figures at the door. "Dad, mom!"

It was obvious that Kohl dodged the eyes of Johnson and Blanche, but when he realized that he had no impression of the parents of the Xia clan, he looked up quickly at the two and breathed a long sigh of relief. Elsa glanced at him and Kohl said, "It's always good to have parents to take care of you. It's not easy for children to work outside."

Both Johnson and Blanche looked at him seriously and expressed their thanks to Kohl sincerely.

Elsa always felt that there was something wrong with Dr. Xu, but she couldn't tell what it was, so she had to put it aside and didn't think about it. Seeing that Soren came over with her parents and was busy pouring water for them, she couldn't help but ask, "Ren, can we go home this afternoon?"

"Well, we can go home after the infusion. Just now, mom had bought some food in the supermarket. I'll enjoy the good food in the evening. Thanks to you." Soren poured a glass of water and handed it to the parents of the Xia clan. He walked close to Elsa and touched her forehead intimately. "It's really getting better."

Then he went to pack up the clothes she had changed in the past two days. Donna and grandma had told him that they would take them back to wash, but he was afraid that she would be embarrassed since there were her underwear among the clothes, so he kept it. He could only take it back at this time.

Elsa was grateful for his consideration. She smiled at him and turned to her parents. "Dad, mom, do you know doctor Xu?"

"I don't know her. What's wrong?" Both Johnson and Blanche shook their heads.

Elsa didn't know why she asked this question subconsciously. Maybe Dr. Xu had behaved a little strange just now. But she immediately stopped thinking about it. She knew that she was a little sensitive and was easily affected by other people's emotions. She changed the topic and said, "Nothing. Mom, what do we eat for dinner?"

"I've bought a lot of food. I'll go home and cook for you later. Look at you, you're so greedy." Blanche couldn't help laughing at her daughter. Seeing her red nose, she felt sorry for her daughter. Looking at Soren's face, there was stubble on his usually clean chin. Hearing that he had been staying here all the time without taking a rest, she felt a little sour and more happy for no reason. How could a mother not be happy that her daughter could marry a man worth trusting?

Soren smiled and said, "When you recover, we have to arrange our mothers to meet. Otherwise, they won't know each other even if we walk into each other on the street. "

Elsa nodded and took her mother's hand. "Yes. It's so rare for father and mother to come here. You can't leave so easily this time. "

"When I went back just now, Donna helped me clean up the secondary bedroom. Dad and mom really need to stay longer this time." Soren smiled and held Elsa's hand.

Johnson and Blanche didn't feel nervous before they went back with grandparents and saw the big villa, driver and servants. She had only seen this kind of life on TV before. She had never seen such a scene in real life. The two elders had thought that Soren's residence was rented. She couldn't help saying, "I will go back after staying here for a while. How can I stay there for long? Now that Ren has taken good care of Elsa, how can we be worried?"

"Mom! The last thing I want to hear is that you plan to leave as soon as you arrive. You used to think it was too expensive to live in a hotel. Now we have a place to live, right? " Elsa was unhappy to hear that her mother was going to leave so soon.

"Okay, okay, I won't say it anymore." Blanche hurried to comfort her daughter.

After the infusion, she left the hospital in the afternoon. With her parents around, Elsa was getting better and better. She talked and laughed with her parents from time to time. These were rare to see when Soren was with her alone. She was a little serious and boring at ordinary times. She always smiled with her lips pursed. But in front of her parents, she was just like a little girl. She talked and laughed like a little girl, and she laughed happily from time to time.

Looking at Elsa in the rearview mirror, Soren couldn't help smiling. If she liked, he didn't mind that her parents would live here for more time.

When they arrived at home, Blanche was about to start cooking with her sleeves rolled up. When Elsa was about to go in to help, her mother pushed her out with all her strength. "All right, all right. You'd better get better soon, which is the biggest help for me."

Elsa had no choice but to come out. Her father didn't talk much and had already moved a small stool to help her mother peel the garlic.

Soren took her back to her room and let her sit down. He threw her clothes into the washing machine and began to wash them separately. Looking at his busy figure, Elsa felt sweet in her heart. What Norah said yesterday faded away in her mind.

Blanche heard that Elsa coughed badly, so she bought a lot of loquat to boil sugar water in the pot. Soon enough, the soup was ready and brought in. Seeing that Elsa was reading a book at the head of the bed, Soren, who was hanging the clothes aside, rushed to grab it and said, "Put it there. I'll do it later. How can I let you do this?"

Elsa blushed. She had just said that she would take a shower by herself, but Soren refused.

Blanche was a traditional housewife. She always thought that men could help with some small housework, but women should do such things as washing clothes. But she didn't want her daughter to do it, so she always did everything she could.
