Chapter 167


    Lucian, I made this lunch especially for you this morning. It’s a porcini mushroom soup that I’ve been


    simmering all morning. Give it a try?


    Penelope lifted the lunchbox, and the fragrant scent of mushroom soup immediately filled the air.


    Lucian took a sip and was instantly surprised.


    He had always thought that Penelope was a pampered little rich girl. He didn’t expect her to be able to


    cook, let alone make something tasty.

    He downed an entire bowl “Did you make this?”


    Penelope blinked. In reality, she didn’t know how to cook. She would get dizzy from the smoke every


    time she entered the kitchen, But seeing Lucian enjoying it, she wouldn’t disappoint him “Of course,”


    she said with a smile. “Is it good?”


    “It’s perfect.”


    Penelope didn’t expect Allison’s cooking skills to be this good. It was as if that evil woman had gotten


    the upper hand. But she knew in her heart no matter how delicious the food was, Lucian would always


    believe she made it.


    “Lucian, I cut my hand preparing this lunch for you.” As she said this, Penelope lifted her hand, showing


    a band–aid wrapped around her finger from a cut she got the night before.


    Seeing Penelope’s pitiful expression, Lucian furrowed his brows.


    “You’ve worked hard but have to go through all this trouble. I can have the house servants deliver


    food.” Lucian felt a bit guilty for Penelope’s efforts.


    “Lucian, I can bring you lunch every day. I’m your fiancée, and I’m carrying your child. I’m willing to do


    all this for you.


    “Thank you, Penelope”


    “Lucian, as long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters.”


    Penelope started to serve the other dishes from the thermos, including spaghetti bolognese, roast


    chicken, and a seafood tter.


    Lucian tasted a few bites. The chicken was tender, the seafood slightly spicy, but the spaghetti


    bolognese felt familiar as if he had tasted it before.


    His expression changed slightly. “Penelope, did you also make all these dishes?”


    “Of course.” Penelope bowed her head,pletely engrossed in her joy and oblivious to Lucian’s


    expression. She looked forward to bringing him lunch every day, eating together, and deepening their


    rtionship.


    Lucian frowned. Thesemon dishes tasted too familiar. Perhaps his taste buds were ying tricks


    on him…


    It wasn’t until the afternoon that Allison finally arrived at Mercy Grove Hospital.


    “Hello, Adeline. I’m Allison, a friend of Ashley’s.”


    Allison knocked on the office door and immediately recognized the woman painting her nails as


    Adeline. She looked a lot like Ashley.


    Normally, doctors and nurses aren’t allowed to paint their nails, but this was a mental health hospital


    with few patients, so it was okay for Adeline to have light pink nails.


    Adeline nced at Allison, a beautiful and delicate girl.


    “Allison,e in. Ashley told me you’re looking for a part–time job. Although we don’t have many


    patients here, they’re a bit special. We pay by the hour. so you can leave whenever you want.”


    “You decide; I can go with anything.”


    “Okay, then it’s settled. You go change into a uniform, then take patients from rooms 202 to 207 to the


    lawn outside for an hour of exercise. I’ll have Laura apany you, and she’s a nurse here”


    The patients in these six rooms were not many, and most of them were children.


    The oldest child was only 16 years, and the rest were quite young.


    Allison also saw a familiar face, the boy named Heath she had once seen in the restroom.
