Edie knew. She also understood.
Stuart wouldn't change this as long as he still loved her,
He was such an idiot. He just wanted her not to worry about him. But he didn't know what he could do nothing but made her worry about him more. She wanted to scold him while thinking about his situation.
But the idiot didn't know. All he could do was to contribute everything good to the woman he loved, without expecting returns. She can't bear the pain of looking his husband like this. She can't imagine how deeply he cares about her. She wanted to cry hard this time because she can't accept the fact that there's something bad going to happen to her beloved husband.
Edie's anger almost disappeared. She felt pain for the man in front of her.
"Why did he run through the red light?"
Edie took quite a while to make her voice.
"Because...the vice president called him. We didn't know what she said..." Mr. Bates said.
