"Is your wife alright now?"
There was a moment of hesitation in Lin Mubai's eyes, but he calmly replied, "She's alright now. Really, thank you."
The man on the bed, upon hearing she was alright, felt a wave of relief pass through him, though he masked it well, and no one noticed.
As the room fell silent again, Lin Mubai was about to speak, but was interrupted by a soft voice from the bed: "I know you have questions. You're so smart, how could you not see it? Yes, just like you imagined. I knew your wife, even before you did, but in the end, you're the luckiest. I wish you happiness."
Conversations between men are often like this. Many times, they don't require lengthy discussions. Just a few simple sentences can convey everything, unlike women who are skilled at entangling every matter into a messy bundle.
