Chapter 39 The Tonic Soup
Chapter 39 The Tonic Soup
Ste had a severe stomachache and took a day off from work.
However, she was unable to rest well at home. She woke up in the morning and smelled the strange
smell of herbsing from the kitchen.
Ste forced herself out of bed. She walked to the kitchen door and saw that Liam was busy inside.
The breakfast Liam had prepared for her was on the table. There were burnt eggs, burnt toast, and a
bowl of cereal with only a little cereal.
It was challenging for a man who had never been in a kitchen.
Ste smiled wryly. She leaned against the kitchen door frame and said softly to him, "You don''t know
how to do it, so let me do it."
Liam was startled, and turned to look at her, "Are you awake? Aren''t you feeling sick? Go back to your
room and lie down after breakfast. I''ll take care of these things."
"What else are you busy with?"
"Oh... I''m stewing soup for you." Liam was a little hectic, "Go and rest, I''ll bring the soup in for you
when it''s ready!"
Ste pursed her lips, her heart felt a little warm now, but then she suddenly remembered ''he was also
so caring to his first love before''?
The sixteen-year-old boy was vigorous, and he must be full of enthusiasm...
Ste''s smile froze when she thought of this, and it bothered her again. She was even more upset
because of the pain in her lower abdomen from standing for so long.

Liam happened to look back at her at this time.
Ste red at him twice. She turned her head and return to the room, then she closed the door.
Liam could not figure it out, he just thought that the woman who was on her period changed her face so
quickly. Ste smiled at him at first, then became angry at him. It was really difficult to serve her!
Oliver sent a message asking him to go to the Luxury Hotel to discuss something. Liam turned off the
fire and was just about to tell Ste when there was a knock on the door.
Mia stood outside the door. She heard that Ste was not feeling well, so she deliberately came to visit
her while she was working outside.
"You are... Liam?" Mia was startled when the door opened.
This was the first time she saw Liam, and he waspletely different from her imagination. She
thought the man who fought and went to jail was more or less ruffian, or even worse.
However, Liam was tall and big. He was good-looking, and his angr face was resolute and stern.
Liam also had a pair of distant eyes through which people could not see his emotions. The powerful
aura exuding from him made Mia could not help but take two steps back involuntarily.
"Well, I am." Liam said in a low voice, "You''re Mia?"
"Nice to meet you." Mia smiled lightly.
Liam turned sideways to let her in.
Mia could not help but frown as she entered the house because she smelled a pungent smell of herbs.
"Is she very serious?" Mia looked at him, "Why does she need to take herbs?"
"She has been suffering from stomachache. I asked for a prescription saying that stewing soup with
these ingredients will relieve some pain."
"Oh." Mia nodded thoughtfully.
Mia''s mother was a traditional doctor who was proficient in gynecology, so she grew up around herbs
since she was a child. As soon as she smelled this smell, she knew something was wrong. She was
thinking to go and see what was stewed in the pot if she had a chanceter. After all, it was something
for Ste to drink, so she had to make sure it was safe to drink.
"Mia, you''re here?" Ste walked out of the room, "I''m sorry. It''s just menstrual pain, but I''m making
myself looks like I''m seriously ill, and I have to trouble you toe and visit me..."
"It''s not a small issue for a woman." Mia smiled, "I think your face is pale. Is the pain severe?"
"Hmm." Ste frowned, "Mia, can I bother you to get your mother to prescribe two boxes of painkillers
for me? This medicine is very effective, and I got better when I took itst time!"
"Do you still need painkillers?" Mia pointed to the kitchen and burst outughing, "Your husband
stewed you a tonic soup which is way better than that painkiller!"
Ste raised her eyes to look at Liam. He stood aside and smiled at her.
Then Liam said goodbye and went out. As usual, he did not mention who he was with or what time he
would return home, and he only said that if it was toote, then she need not wait for him toe back
for dinner.
Ste sighed softly as she looked at his back.
"Your sigh sounds something wrong." Mia smiled and looked at her, "You''re having something on your
mind?"
Ste bit her lip and told the whole story about "first love".
After Mia listened to the whole story from the beginning to the end, she could not help butugh back
and forth.
"Just for this? Ste, you''re too funny to bother yourself with an imaginary enemy!"
"I know that I''m suspicious. There''s no real evidence and thinking that way would be going too far."
Ste sat on the sofa hugging her knees. She used both of her tiny hands to support her cheeks, and
said with confusion, "But I just can''t control myself."
"You''re silly!" Mia enlightened her, "This is all your wild guesses! You can''t just misunderstand him
based on his unfinished sentence, right? Maybe he didn''t have a first love!"
"Even if he had a first love, it would have been a long time ago, and he still ended up marrying you.
What are you afraid of?"
Mia''s lips twitched, "Moreover, who do you think would steal him from you if he had no background or
job and had a little dark history? You''re the only one who values him like that!"
"What are you talking about?" Ste pouted and nced at Mia, then pursed her lips and smiled.
Ste''s heart eased after talking to Mia, and even her stomach did not hurt much anymore. At this time
the casserole on the stove made a whining sound and the soup almost spilled out.
Mia hurried over to uncover the lid.
After looking at the ingredients of the soup, her eyes suddenly changed.
