Chapter 16 Sweetheart
At the hospital.
In the office of the neurosurgery department.
n Canning sat in front of Edmond Agos and asked pitifully.
“Dr. Agos, can I… have my lunch box back?”
Edmond put down his phone and pushed back the lunch box he had just used for taking photos. He
looked at n with a hint of curiosity.
"Did you eat chives because they can tonify your kidneys? "
n was stunned for a few seconds, and then his face turned red.
"It’s not like that. My girlfriend’s family sells fried Chinese leek dumplings for a living…”
Edmond nodded and said, "Good. It’s good for your health.”
n was embarrassed. Just as he was about to pick up the lunch box and leave, Edmond stopped
him.
"How did you convince your girlfriend to bring lunch to you? "
"What? "
n paused, scratching his head and exining with a smile.
"I didn’t ask her to do it. I am always busy working in the hospital, and my stomach aches because I
don’t eat regrly. She feels bad for me, so she makes lunch herself and brings it over. "
Feels bad?
Makes lunch herself?
Before leaving, n reminded Edmond.
"By the way, Dr Agos. Last time I ate too much and gave you my lunch. Please keep it a secret. My
girlfriend ising to the hospital for a physical examination next Monday. If you run into her,
please don’t tell her! "

n left.
Edmond turned his head with a serious expression.
He once again recalled the time when Eli Preston brought lunch to Alicia Casey and called her
‘sweetheart’.
How romantic.
Although their marriage was fake, and they agreed to not interfere with each other’s private life after
getting married, Edmond felt somewhat annoyed and unhappy when he saw his wife being so close
with another man.
After a moment of silence, he lowered his head and picked up his phone to make a call.

Alicia finished workte on Friday. She had nned to have a drink with Grace Florrick at the bar,
but when she got in the car, her foster mom, Melissa Fox, called and asked her toe home.
Melissa had a brain tumor two years ago and underwent surgery, so she stayed in a senior
apartment near the hospital to recover.
It was Edmond’s idea, and he also hired a caregiver to take care of Melissa.
Melissa was not young anymore, and she recovered slowly. asionally, she didn’t feel well and
had to go to the hospital.
Alicia was worried about Melissa, so she didn’t even change her car and immediately drove her red
Ferrari back home.
As soon as she got home, she saw Melissa sitting on the sofa andughing happily, and Edmond
was sitting next to her and peeling an orange. It was such a cheerful scene.
Alicia was stunned for several seconds, thinking that she was hallucinating.
"Alicia. You are back. Come. Edmond bought me a leg massager. It’s sofy. "
She gave a sickly smile and walked over to sit down.
Edmond smiled nicely and handed over the peeled orange, "Try one. "
What the heck?
Alicia didn’t reach out to take it. Seeing her full of doubts and confusion, he handed the orange to
Melissa.
"How’s the orange? "
"So sweet. Of course, it’s sweet. It’s from you. "
It was like they were mother and son.
Alicia really wanted to roll her eyes. Edmond didn’t even treat his own mother so nicely. He was
definitely purposeful.
However, seeing Melissa was in such a good mood, she didn’t want to say anything disappointing,
so she asked with concern.
"Mom, have you had dinner yet? "
"I have. Have you? I left some dishes for you in the fridge. Take them out and heat them up. Go.
You must be starving. "
Alicia nodded, stood up, and was about to go to the kitchen.
Unexpectedly, Edmond also stood up and followed her.
"Let me do it. Sweetheart. "
Alicia was startled when she heard it.
Sweet… heart?
