Xia Lei was sprawled on the sofa. A soccer match was playing on TV, but he didn't even have the strength to lift his eyes to the screen.
The sound of his wife stir-frying came from the kitchen. The smell of cooking fumes drifted into the living room, making his stomach churn.
"Dinner's ready." Lin Mei came out carrying two dishes. Seeing her husband's condition, her brow furrowed. "Feeling sick again?"
Xia Lei forced himself to sit up straight. "I'm fine, just tired."
"It's been two months since your surgery. Other people have their appendix out and are back on their feet in a week. Why are you still like this?"
His wife handed him a pair of chopsticks, her voice filled with unconcealed worry.
Xia Lei picked up some vegetables with his chopsticks and chewed without tasting them. "Who knows? Didn't Dr. Xu say all the tests came back normal?"
