Didn’t Feed You
Grant’s eyes were inexplicably sore. He took a deep breath, took the fork, and began to eat the packed
meal with his head bowed.
Aida smiled and did not continue to say anything. She looked a t Nicole, who was lying inside. None of
them could pretend that nothing has happened.
The warmth in the air made Nicole feel extraordinarily comfortable.
Such an environment gave her a sense of security.
It was much more comfortable than the stifling heat from before.
She slowly opened her eyes and saw the white ceiling and the exquisite lamps. For a moment, she was
in a bit of a trance.
She even had a brief moment of amnesia and had forgotten why she was here.
However, those oppressive memories came flooding back.
Nicole could not help but breathe faster and was completely awake in an instant.
A warm hand slowly stroked her head. The movements were
gentle and extraordinarily familiar.
Nicole looked to the side and saw Floyd sitting there with tears in his eyes. Every drop of tears was
filled with heartache.
Floyd took care of Nicole like she was still in elementary school and coaxed her to sleep, get up, and
eat. He did this every day without a trace of impatience.
Nicole’s eyes were sore. Her voice was a little hoarse from having just woken up.
“Daddy?”
Floyd cautiously said, “Mm… Did I wake you up?”
Nicole sniffled and felt that she was dreaming.
“No, it feels like I slept for a long time.”
“You slept late last night. It hasn’t even been eight hours since you woke up. You can sleep for a while.”
Nicole smiled and propped up her body to sit up. Floyd carefully put a cushion behind her.
Since Nicole had an IV drip, she felt a lot more relaxed.
It felt as if her body was not suppressed by those alternative drugs, so she felt energized again.
Such a feeling made Nicole feel surprised from the inside out.
“Sorry that you have to worry, Dad…”
Floyd let out a laugh and pretended to ponder.
“I only learned of this news last night. Luckily you’re fine. Otherwise, I won’t spare any of those people
who kept it from
me.”
As he was talking, someone knocked on the door outside.
Grant pursed his lips and raised his eyes to look at Nicole and Floyd. Finally, his gaze fell on Floyd.
“Dad, Aida brought Lil N some soup, so let her drink some.”
Floyd glanced at him and let out a cold snort. He was still angry with him.
Grant hid such a big thing from Floyd, so Floyd was furious.
Grant looked at Nicole, who immediately touched her stomach and spoke with a smile.
“It just so happens that I’m hungry. Bring it over!”
Grant’s eyes softened in an instant. He hurriedly reached backward. Aida handed the bowl over and
carefully poked her head inside.
“The doctor said to eat less but more frequently. These days, Nicole didn’t eat anything, so she can’t
eat too much at once. Otherwise, she’ll feel bloated and uncomfortable.”
Nicole paused. Floyd wrinkled his eyebrows. “Didn’t eat anything? They didn’t feed you?!”
Grant glanced at Aida, frowned, and shook his head.
Aida seemed to realize that she had said too much. Floyd would have been devastated to find out that
Nicole didn’t get t o eat anything
Seeing Floyd’s nervous look, Nicole hurriedly spoke.
“Of course not. I’m just not used to eating their food, so I ate less.”
Floyd was not convinced. His expression was still glum.
Grant went in with the thermos, sat on the other side, and opened the flask. It was indeed very
appetizing.
Nicole was a little hungry, but it was not unbearable.
She was more worried about Clayton now.
However, Floyd looked at her expectantly, so she really could not refuse. She smiled, took it, and took
a sip.
The three people saw Nicole drinking the soup with gusto and could not help but sigh with relief.
