Be Eaten Up with Love

In the early morning of the next day, I woke up. I was powerless all over my body
sitting on the end of the bed and looked around.
In the room, except me, there was no one else even a shadow of Wayne.
I smiled wryly. I was surly poisoned too much...
I measured my temperature by the thermometer put on the end of the bed. 37 °C,
the fever had been brought down.
I got out of my home to have a bowl of warm porridge at breakfast diner. The old
woman who was buying the porridge saw that I was pale and very weak that
even a breeze could blow me down any time, so she asked with a worried face,"
Girl, you look very pale. Are you ill?"
" Madam, I'm fine. I will be better after having a rest later when I finish having this
porridge."
In the afternoon, I was recovered a lot. My spirit was good, too, so I planned to
visit my grandma in the hospital.
She recovered very well after the operation and she may leave hospital after a
short period of time.
I bought some fruit and grandma's favorite cakes and went to the inpatient
department directly.
I walked into the wardroom. Grandma was laying on the end of the bed and
talking with my uncle. Her complexion was better now. She asked my uncle
happily to bring me a chair when she saw I was coming.
"Grandma, I bought you some cakes from 'Fulianji', have a try."
She smiled and took over the box I passed to her. She opened it carefully and
looked at me kindly," Lydia, grandma can't eat these much. Don't buy next time.

Save the money and buy something good for yourself."
"Grandma, it's fine, just have a try."
Grandma loved me so much. She saved anything delicious for me to eat.
Especially when my father and mother were dead, grandma loved me more even
into her deepest heart.
"Lydia, since you are here today, I have something to ask you." She was having
the cake and looked at me with a kind smile," I heart that Harriet introduced a
boyfriend to you recently, did he?"
I nodded," I did not meet him. The man introduced by Harriet would not be some
good person."
Grandma sighed with sorriness and touched my head kindly," Your aunt still
cannot change her personality after all these years. Don't bother about her.
Lydia, be honest to your grandma, do you have a boyfriend in the university?"
"Grandma, it is normal for a girl to be not married tile 30 years old. I'm only 20,
not in hurry."
"Grandma does not have too much time now. Your parents passed away too
early, so I must watch you getting married and live in happiness, so I can explain
to your parents when I go down there. Lydia, grandma is not asking you to get
married and have babies immediately! Now, you should have a well-advised
boyfriend and then, having a happy stable life after the university."
I knew in my heart that grandma was worrying about me. I would be a lonely and
helpless person when she passed away.
"Lydia, find someone who treats you well and loves you with a sincere heart. The
most important thing is a marriage between families of equal social rank. Then
the rest of your life can be happy."

I could not deny the words she said. The importance of the similar social ranks, I
knew that thoroughly since I met Wayne. As for the unrealistic fantasy, I already
extinguished it from the beginning.
"I asked you second aunt to pay attention for you and she replied me last few
days. Your second aunt has a classmate and she introduced a boy. He is 28
years old, a few years older than you. He graduated from Medical College.
Found by your second aunt, she is quite reliable!"
Grandma brought the phone of my uncle and she found the pictures deftly.
"The boy is not looking handsome, just normal, but he graduated from the
Medical College. His salary of a month can be over 10 thousand dollars since he
is working in the city hospital and, he got a house. His conditions are good. I will
ask your aunt to arrange a date if you like him!"
I glanced at the picture and did not moved by it. Grandma saw that I was not
interested so she said with a little anger," Lydia, there are a lot of lures in the big
city. Are you disliking him since you are thinking that he cannot give you a good
life?"
I did not say anything. I could not bear to let the good heart of my grandma down.
Perhaps, I should go to have a date. If he matched my conditions, I may just get
married with whoever I got! Even though I was young, my state of mind was
already old. I was tried about the lonely and helpless days.
There were a lot of lures in the big city for sure. I was at loose ends only because
of one Wayne Gilbert. Thinking innocently to occupy the thing that did not belong
to me at all. I was not sober until the reality slapped me hardly in my face. I could
never occupy a thing that never belonged to me by force. It was better to find a
guy to live a normal and stable life than humiliating myself.
I picked up the phone in grandma's hand and had a look at the pictures of the
man. He was about 30, normal looking.

"Grandma, please ask my aunt to arrange a date." I said after a while of silence.
Grandma was pleased since she heard that I admitted," Lydia, are you willing to
have a date now? I will call your aunt later to ask her to arrange a date."
Grandma's efficiency on this thing was so high. She told me the place and time of
the date at the same night.
I made up simply and dressed in a dress with small flowers. My appearance was
pure and pretty.
My phone rang when I just got into the car. It was Katherine asking me to have a
BBQ buffet with her. I told you about the date and Katherine screamed loudly. My
eardrum was nearly been through.
