My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Jacob and Mariana were very much alike.

As soon as he came, he teased her instead of asking about her condition.

Liliana shook her head. But she was happy to see Mariana upbeat rather than upset.

Food arrived soon after Jacob did, and they fought for the food. Aware that many people would be on the ward, Liliana’s chef had sent a large portion.

When Mariana’s parents came, they were surprised to see Mariana up and about. She was fighting with the Jacob guy for food while Liliana was working.

“Uncle, Aunty!” Liliana put away her tablet and stood up to greet them.

Jacob saw the lunchbox in Merideth’s hand and jumped.

“Aunty, pretty aunty! You brought food. You are so awesome.” Jacob exclaimed and hugged her.

“Hey, leave my mother alone. And don’t touch the food she made. You already stole from this.” Mariana grumbled.

The Jocobsens breathed a sigh of relief. Mariana was doing just fine. She was not as severely injured as she looked the night before.

“How are you doing, Mer?” Merideth asked gently.

“I am fine, mom. Henry said I would not have any scars. Jennifer has already emailed the diet plan to Lil’s chef, so you don’t have to worry too much. You know they have a live-in nurse for Li. I will be fine.”

Mariana shrugged.

Merideth was speechless. As much as she loved Liliana like her own daughter, she had never approved of Mer treating Lil’s house and resources without any inhibition.

She pinched the bridge of her nose to keep her temper. She did not want to scold her hospitalized daughter.

Andrew shot his daughter a glare to be more conscientious and rubbed his wife’s arms to calm her down.

Jacob suppressed his smile while Liliana shook her head.

“Aunty, don’t worry about her. I will take good care of her. As it happens, the kids are studying to take care of themselves and others, a part of their survival training. They will get to know things first hand.” Liliana tried to ease Merideth’s anger.

“It’s not like you girls will listen to me. I just did not want you to be too tired.” Merideth lamented but dropped the topic.

Jacob lightened the mood by opening the food.

“This smells so good.” He dramatically exclaimed.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

“Eat more,” Merideth smiled.

“Thank you, aunty,” Jacob said.

He poured some soup and smelled it before tasting it and showing it to Mariana.

“Jacob! I will beat you when I get discharged.” Mariana said through gritted teeth.

“You gotta get discharged first, Mer-bear!” Jacob taunted.

Liliana also took a bowl of soup for herself. She tasted it and did not recognize any ingredient Henry said to avoid. She poured the remaining contents for Mariana and passed it along.

Jonathan came back when they were all drinking soup. He sniffed a little, and Liliana passed her bowl to him.

Mrs. Jacobsen had bought some nourishing porridge, but Mariana had already had breakfast.

Mariana tasted a little while Jacob, Liliana, and Jonathan finished the rest.

Merideth sent them away after they had eaten.

“You all should go to work. I will stay here.” She told everyone.

“Sure, Aunty. I will bring the kids over in the evening. Please go home if you feel tired. She looks like she will sleep through the day.” Liliana said.

Merideth waved them away. “Alright, that’s enough worrying about me.”

Mariana soon fell asleep after eating.

The rest of them left for their respective jobs.
