Chapter 208 Dr. Elisha pulled off his mask and said, âHe suffered a fractured rib, but the injury is not serious. In order to prevent sequelae, he needs to be hospitalized for observation. But donât worry too much. Young people are generally very strong, and he should recover soon.â
Jared let out a sigh of relief When he turned to look at Agnes, he found her already in tears.
Agnes was clearly shaken.
When that hefty iron frame came crashing down, she felt as if she were being dragged into the depths of the ocean.
A huge wave came violently and almost drowned her. But Ryder had grabbed her.
When Agnes looked at Ryder again, he was already lying in the hospital ward His chest was strapped down He was sitting up straight, furrowing his brows, a hint of pain visible on his face.
Jared walked to the bedside and asked him, âHow are you feeling now?â
Ryder gave a faint smile. âIâm alright. Donât tell my mom and grandpa. I donât want them to worryâ
Jared responded, âI know.â
After Ryder finished his gaze shifted to behind Jared.
Agnes walked up behind Jared, her eyes still red and swollen.
âAre you okay...
âAre you okay...
The two said this sentence almost at the same time. Afterwards, the ward returned tits previous tranquility Jared furrowed his brows Agnes was the first to speak. âI wasnât injured. Luckily you were thereâ
Ryder glanced at Jared, his tone returning to its usual coolness. âIm glad youâre okay, In that situation, I would have protected anyone, so donât mind it.â On the way home Agnes sat in Jaredâs car, finally regaining her composure.
But Jared was poker-faced, not uttering a word.
The temperature in the car seemed to have dropped a few degrees.
Agnes felt increasingly guilty.
Ryder was Jaredâs favonte nephew, and now he was in the hospital because of her. That mustâve upset Jared a lot.
In her heart, Agnes silently decided to do her best to make it up to him.
The next morning when Jared woke up, he found no one beside him.
He glanced at the wall clock and found it was just past five in the morning Jared frowned, getting up.
Agnes was not in the room.
When he left the room, he went to the dining room and saw Agnes cooking soup Jared walked over and asked, âWhat are you doing?â
Agnes turned around âIâm making Ryder a com soup. He canât eat solid food now, so he can only have soup.â
âYou can ask the nanny to do this kind of thingâ
Agnes responded, âHe was injured saving me. Now, heâs in the hospital and I canât do much. I can only do what I can to express my gratitude.â
Agnes had put the cooked soup into a thermos.
Then she told Jared, âYou can go back to sleep. Iâll deliver breakfast and then head to schoolâ
For several consecutive days, Agnes got up early to make soup.
From the initial com soup, to mushroom soup, and then to tomato soup, there were diferent variations every day Actually, Agnesâs cooking skills were just average.
But, in order to take care of Ryder, she specifically asked the chef at home for advice, and would repeatedly cook soup at night, gradually mastering some skills. These days, she was even learning how to cook other dishes.
Every night when Jared came home, he could see Agnes busying herself in the kitchen.
Then, he would silently enter the study, not returning to the bedroom until very late Agnes gradually noticed that Jared seemed busier these days, returning home later and later.
Sometimes, to wait for him, she would deliberately stay in the kitchen a little longer.
When Jared come home, she would always cheerfully bring a bowl of freshly cooked soup to his study However, Agnes noticed that Jared never had it.
1 The next morning, the soup was still on the desk in the study.
Agnes was a bit disappointed, but she also knew Jared was picky about food Maybe her cooking skills werenât good enough, so she put even more effort into cooking.
But it seemed like it was all for naught
