DUO J: GENIUS
Close-up

Duo J and Ellie arrive at Addison's office villa. The turn of the grandmother who drove the two grandchildren to fill the time there.

Next to Ellie's hand was a cloth bag containing several bottles of decoction leaves. Traditional recipes to improve endurance, body health.

The news that Nigel was sick reached Ellie's ear last afternoon. When Landon tells her the possibility that makes Duo J in a quiet mode after returning from the villa.

Ellie's affection for the daughter-in-law made her go to the market early in the morning. To get the ingredients that need to enter in the decoction water potion.

“Come, Grandma. Uncle is waiting for us at Papa's room door,” Jarrett said as he put his phone in his pocket.

Ellie responds to Jarrett's words by moving her legs faster. Duo J was running around beside him.

The two five-year-old boys' faces were already more pleasing to the eye than yesterday. The compact Duo J is in silent mode not something fun.

“Please come in, Madam,” said Miles, who first greeted the in-laws of his twin sister. Duo J greeted their uncle with a sweet smile.

“Thank you, Miles,” greet Ellie and then follow Miles' moves to continue walking.

Nigel seemed to have caught his attention to Duo J. The two children climbed into the papa's bed. Then Ellie turned her focus towards Miles.

“How are you doing, son? I just found out Nigel was sick yesterday afternoon. Please do not hesitate to let us know if you need help. We are family,” Ellie said politely.

Gail's adoptive mother is actually still awkward with their familial relationship. Having a personal relationship with the Irey family, never once was Ellie's mind.

But Nigel's treatment is closer to him, so the reason to keep their closeness. Mr. Irey that one is not only close to Gail and Duo J alone.

The closeness that Nigel built was to all those who were close to his wife. So Ellie tried to balance, not to be inferior because of their social distance.

As Miles was about to answer Ellie's question, Nigel's voice sounded towards them. The young man no longer lay on the bed. He helped Jarrett to wake up.

“Mother, thank you for visiting me here,” Nigel said with a bright smile. Then moved his pair of legs towards the in-laws, slow and careful step by step.

“Hosting Mommy can walk,” exclaims Ellie amazed. The first time seeing Nigel's upright posture stood up like now. The distance to the young man was also getting closer.

Although Ellie could clearly see the beautiful charm of Nigel in a wheelchair, still she was surprised by the visual of the son-in-law in that appearance. If juxtaposed with Gail, maybe her daughter is as knowledgeable as Nigel.

Ellie instantly remembered Gail who had been daydreaming a lot lately. But say nothing to her, as close as a couple separated now.

“Mother daydreaming?” nigel's voice inquired closely in Ellie's ear. It turned out that they were both sitting on the sofa and Miles was in the middle.

The sound of knocking on the door caught the eye, Miles stood up. Before he headed for the door, his palm first perched briefly on Nigel's forehead.

Duo J noticed what the uncle was doing. Especially Jarrett who already had a lot of questions for him to dig his answer from Miles. While Ellie was touched by the closeness of the two Irey masters.

From the direction of the entrance were two men in waiter uniforms followed by Miles from behind. Breakfast dishes are arranged quickly and neatly.

“Not necessary, Son. I had breakfast before here, so still full,” refused Ellie while reading the reaction from the look of the daughter-in-law's sister. Minimal expression.

Miles has a different charm to Nigel. The faces of both are close but different. Twins are not identical which is striking at the difference. One is warm and the other cold.

But Ellie felt a lot of the same things from the two young men. One is the way they treat her, building closeness without making Ellie feel depressed.

“This is some bottles containing decoction water decoction, traditional recipes for improving health. The elder in Delan used to drink it to quickly recover from fever,” Ellie said.

The words Ellie addressed to the two young men nearby. He knows Nigel's health is a matter of two for Nigel and Miles.

So the information about the drug that Ellie wanted to give was relayed directly to both of them. In order not to arise misunderstandings and can give answers if there is something to be questioned.

“Thank you, Mother,” welcome Nigel with her warm face to the in-laws. Ellie responded with a warm smile.

“Madam, sorry. I have to consult with the doctor first, if Nigel can or not drink it,” Miles said in his polite tone. Ellie also responded with a warm smile.

“Yes, I get it. It's okay, I made it to make my heart calm after hearing the news Nigel was sick. The important thing is to get well soon,” said Ellie softly, full of motherhood.

“Bund, I'll recover soon,” said Nigel reassured. Then his eyes turned sad when he continued saying, “I miss Gee, Bund.”

Miles so observed the way Nigel spoke just now, which to him sounded like a whimper. He once found the attitude of his sister whining so while being with their mother while still alive.

The emotional closeness of Nigel and Ellie seemed to open up the other side of Miles' twin sister. Laughing at his gel smile, Miles refocused on his phone screen.

“Uncle, when is Papa's schedule to take medication? I have a lot of questions,” Jarrett whispered to Miles, taking advantage of the attention of the adults.

In the position of Jarrett's mouth close to Miles's ear, which leaned against the back of the sofa, the two whispered to each other so as not to attract attention.

After getting a deal, Jarrett jumped to end his body hanging on the back of a high sofa. Climbing includes the word for the genius' middle name.

While Jemma, the little woman chose to lie on Nigel's mattress. He's still lazy to do anything like yesterday, maybe even lazier today.

Jemma. His body was comfortable lying on the papa's bed. It felt the same as the comfort he got when he laid his body on the mattress in Evelyn's room.

If only the distance between where Jemma and Evelyn were close, could be reached by foot, the princess would whine to the maximum so that she was escorted to meet with her cousin.

In Jemma's silence, her eyes slowly closed. He fell asleep and the scent of Nigel's body left on the pillows and blankets made him feel better.
