Chapter 223


    That’s not really what I meant, honey. I swear.”


    “I understand that you desperately want to meet my father. Since you’ve waited for five years, waiting a


    little longer won’t make any difference. Pleasee back when my father recovers and is willing to


    meet you.”


    Upon hearing what I said, Carson stopped insisting. “Honey, I will wait for you outside.”


    “Please return to thepany first. It might take a long time for me.”


    Upon entering the ward. I saw my father and mother talking while Mrs. Fant served soup in a


    bowl. Looking like me. Mrs. Fant asked with a smile, “Lily, did you bring soup too?”


    “Yes, I cooked it myself.”


    “Serious? Did you learn to make soup?” Mrs. Fant asked in disbelief, and my parents were also


    shocked.


    “Of course it’s true. Mrs. Fant, please set your soup aside first. I want my dad to try my soup.”


    “All good.” Mrs. Fant stopped serving the soup. After I prepared the soup. I handed it to my dad,


    whereupon he took a sip and frowned. Nervously, my mother asked, “Does it taste bad?”


    “Instead of tasting bad, it tastes very delicious.” My father took the bowl and gulped down the soup


    without using a spoon. After that he said, “Is there more? Bring me another bowl!”


    So I poured him another bowl of soup. Seeing this, Mrs. Fant was displeased. “Mr. Hawkins, you are


    biased. You normally only drink one bowl of my soup, but when ites to your daughter’s soup, you


    demand two bowls. This is embarrassing for me.”


    “Stop teasing him. Lily has grown into an adult, but this is the first time she has cooked soup for her


    father. I think instead of the soup being delicious, he’s just happy that his daughter put in so much


    effort.”


    “Well, you are partially right. I want to drink two bowls of Lily’s soup not just because she made it. It’s


    really delicious.”


    “Really?” My mother didn’t believe it.


    “Try it if you don’t believe me.” Upon taking a sip of the soup, my mother was very surprised. “Lily, did


    you really make this soup?”


    “And truth.”


    “Tastes like someone with years of culinary experience. Torn between surprise and sympathy, my


    mother asked, “Do you make soup every day?”


    “No, I cooked this soup myself, but under my housekeeper’s guidance. She is a master soup cook.”


    “I understand. I thought your cooking skill improved significantly after a few years because you cook


    every day.”

    After my father finished his soup, I kept himpany for a while and then returned to the


    I was so immersed in my work that I didn’t realize anyone had walked in. Hearing a cough, I looked up


    to see President Smith standing across the table.


    “President Smith, sorry for not seeing you. Please sit down!” I quickly got up from my chair and greeted


    her.


    President Smith sat down on the couch. “Lilian, are you busy today?”


    I discovered the meaning behind his words. Since I left the premises suddenlyst night, he must have


    been upset, so I quickly exined with a smile, “President Smith, I am very sorry about what happened


    yesterday. My father had a brain attack


    Bleeding yesterday, so I had to rush to the hospital. That’s why…”


    Upon hearing my exnation, President Smith’s expression softened. “Oh, your father got sick. I knew


    you were that kind of person.”


    Sensing the tone of his words, I asked, “President Smith, what did others say about me?”
