Without waiting for William to say anything, Jasper grabbed his hand and said, âLetâs go inside. Itâs cold outside. Just give the car keys to the security guard at the entrance.â
William didnât say anything and handed the car keys to the guard before following Jasper into the main house of the Reed family.
âSit down for a moment. You vomited so much just now, but nothing came out. Your stomach must be empty. Let me make you a hot cup of milk to soothe your stomach,â she said.
He replied, âIâll do it myself.â He was familiar enough with the Reed family and knew his way around the kitchen.
âNo, let me do it. You sit and rest!â she insisted, quickly walking into the kitchen.
He chuckled, and the way she acted made it seem like he was a person with limited mobility due to injury.
However, staying here tonight would be better than going back to his empty villa alone.
At least here, he wouldnât feel lonely!
After a while, Jasper came out with a cup of warm milk and handed it to William.
William took the milk and took a sip.
âIs it hot?â Jasper asked.
âNo, itâs just right,â he replied.
âI also made porridge for you. After you finish the milk, you can have the porridge,â she said.
He almost spat out the milk he hadnât swallowed yet. âYouâ¦made porridge?â He couldnât compliment her cooking skills, even though he loved her.
He remembered when they were in junior high school, she once had the urge to cook and be a chef.
Then, she somehow made a dish that could be called a dark cuisine and put it in front of him and Mick.
They both gritted their teeth and closed their eyes, and after cating, they immediately suffered from vomiting and diarrhea. They were sent to the hospital and diagnosed with food poisoning.
Since then, she hasnât had much desire to be a chef.
Jasper rolled his eyes at his expression and said, âDonât worry, I ordered takeout. Itâll be here soon!â
He breathed a sigh of relief and said, âOh, itâs takeout.â
âI wonât let you go to the hospital again after you vomited like that earlier,â she said. That time, he and his older brother ate her cooking and ended up in the hospital.
For her, it was a kind of shadow.
âYou just threw up like that, I wonât let you go to the hospital again,â she said. The last time he and his older brother ate her cooking, they ended up in the hospital. For her, it was a kind of shadow.
At that time, she watched his older brother and him lying weakly in the hospital bed with IV drips, feeling sad, upset, and self-blaming.
It was clearly her fault, but why were they the ones bearing the consequences?!
âIt seems like you only cooked that one time, why havenât you cooked again? Lost interest?â he suddenly asked.
âI donât want to see you guys end up in the hospital again,â she said.
âNobody is perfect the first time, but with practice, it should get better,â said William.
âDo you want to try the food I cooked?â Jasper asked.
He smiled slightly and replied, âIf you really cooked something, I will eat it.â Even if itâs really bad, he would still eat it.
âArenât you afraid of going back to the hospital?â she joked.
âIf I end up in the hospital again, then Iâll have to trouble you to take care of me,â he said.
The atmosphere became more relaxed. He finished his milk and after a moment, the delivery of the porridge arrived.
After William finished his porridge, he and Jasper went to the Reed familyâs guest room.
He was quite familiar with this room. Whenever he stayed at the Reed familyâs house, he usually stayed in this room. There were even some of his clothes that he had changed into still in the room.
âYou go back to your room and sleep first. Iâll freshen up and sleep later,â William said.
âOkay,â Jasper replied and left the guest room.
William walked into the bathroom and looked at his slightly pale face in the mirror. His appearance seemed to be a combination of his father and motherâs features.
