Chapter 261


    When he heard me, he immediately sat up on the bed. A smile bloomed across his previously


    gloomy face as he said, "Wandy, you''re finally here."


    "Don''t you know it’s a sin to waste food?" I nced at the porridge on the ground before gazing


    disdainfully at him.


    "You know what it’s like. I don''t get along with strangers, and I don''t like eating their food even more.


    Is thesagna ready?" he said matter-of-factly as he stared at the food container in my hands, his


    expectations obvious.


    I set up his over-bed table and put the container in front of him before saying wryly, "You need


    someone t o look after you because you’re hurt. If you think it''s awkward to have a female nurse, I


    can arrange for you to have a male nurse."


    He opened the container excitedly and stuffed two forkfuls ofsagne into his mouth before


    smacking his lips in satisfaction and saying, "I don’t need anyone to take care of me. I already have


    you, don''t I? All you have to do is bring me food and stay with me t o chat for a while."


    "I''m here to talk to you about that, actually. I''m going t o Whaldorf City with Theo tonight, so I might


    not be


    able to bring you food anymore. A nurse would be able to prepare you food at the hospital once I’m


    gone!”


    Seeing how energetic he was and how much gusto he ate his food with, it was just as the doctor


    had said. He was perfectly fine. The only reason he insisted on staying in the hospital was that he


    was acting like a little kid and thinking up ways to get me to bring him food.


    He paused his movements, and the expression on his face changed as he asked, "Why are you


    going to Whaldorf City all of a sudden? Don''t you know that ce is a snakepit?"


    "You always think of the worst-case scenario. I''m going with Theo this time, so what’s the worst that


    could happen?" I replied calmly.


    "Exactly, it''s dangerous because he’s there! Don''t disregard what I''ve said to you. You''lle to a


    nasty end one day if you continue to stay by his side." He had a solemn expression on his face, and


    his voice became tinged with frostiness the more he spoke.

    I did not say anything, thinking he was worried about nothing. Theo was treating me quite well right


    now, and he would not let anything happen to me. After all, I was carrying his child.


    I left after sitting with him for a while longer and reminding him to stop kicking up so much of a fuss


    all the time.


    He did not say anything else for the remaining time I spent with him. He had a solemn expression


    on his face and seemed to be deep in thought over something. Luckily, I was no longer bothered by


    his ever-changing moods.


    When I returned to Cecilia''s room, she was eating the fruits and walnuts I had brought. As I gazed


    at the pile of walnut shells and fruit skins, I could not help but ask in astonishment, "Did you eat all


    of this?”


    I had brought her so muchsagna, yet she had still managed to eat all the fruits I had thought


    wouldst her for two to three days. I worried she had overeaten.


    She stuck her tongue out and said somewhat embarrassedly, "These fruits taste so good. They


    taste exactly like how I remembered they tasted. I ate so much without even realizing it."


    "As long as you don''t overeat.” I marveled at her appetite.


    "Are you a pig?” Jerome''s cry of shock rang out from the doorway.


    Obviously, Jerome, who had juste through the door as I had, was also surprised by the


    mountain of fruit skins.


    "No one will think you''re mute if you don’t speak! So what if I can eat? I''m not eating your family''s


    food.” Cecilia had never bothered with pleasantries when it came to Jerome and did not hesitate to


    throw an insult back at him.


    "How dare you mistake my kind intentions as hostility? I''m just worried you''ll choke to death if you


    eat that much, alright?"


    "Jerome Shane, have you gone too long without being beaten up?" Cecilia''sments left me


    speechless.


    These two were always like this whenever they met. I shook my head wryly and turned to see


    Xander standing outside the door, a gloomy expression on his face as he watched the two fighting


    inside the room.


    I could not stop myself from blurting out, "What are you doing here?" From what I remembered,


    Xander usually did not make appearances in public ces like these because of his status as an


    actor. 1


    The mask he had on prevented me from seeing the expression on his face. I watched as he rubbed


    his hands together somewhat awkwardly and said," Happened to be passing by, so I thought I


    would drop b y and visit."


    "Oh my god, Mr. Actor Nietzsche, did you purposely drop by to visit me? Or are you... here because


    of a certain someone? Be honest, are you guys together now?" Cecilia''s eyes sparkled as her gaze


    excitedly swept between the two.


    Although I was not as direct as Cecilia was, I could vaguely sense something odd going on between


    the two of themtely too. They were always together, and Xander’s personality had undergone a


    drastic change recently.


    If he used to be as sloppy and reckless as Jerome was now, he had since undergone a dramatic


    change to be a quiet and mature man now. Most of the time, he would quietly stand by the


    sidelines and watch Jerome''s antics.
