The beef needed to be stewed over low heat for a long time. The sliced onions were added ten minutes before it was done. The soup is ideally meant to be enjoyed in the afternoon. The soup emitted a rich aroma as it was brought into the ward.Rosy May and Wyatt happened to be in the room.Rosy May asked Wyatt in a low voice, "Has brother's anorexia improved?"Wyatt shook his head, "It seems like he only likes to eat the dishes made by his sister-in-law.""Oh, showing affection, huh?" Rosy May teased, rubbing imaginary chicken skin bumps on herself.Wyatt rolled his eyes at this drama queen.Natalie opened the small table attached to the hospital bed and placed the food on it one by one.Oliver frowned, "Woman, you're spoiling me too much.""What did you make for breakfast? It's so light."After spending some time together, Natalie had a sense of Oliver's preferences. He liked heavily seasoned dishes like braised and spicy food. However, Natalie avoided cooking those types of food as
"Brother, sister-in-law, Rosy May and I can go get the vegetables ourselves!" Wyatt immediately stood up and pulled Rosy May away.It's a good thing that they left as it reduced the awkwardness of being watched by others.However, Natalie couldn't relax at all. The pressure she received by being alone in the ward with Oliver, was even more intense."Would you like to have some porridge first? It's good for your health."Natalie asked in a dry tone, and when he didn't object, she put down the chopsticks and the empty bowl, picked up the bowl of porridge, and stirred it with a spoon.The aromatic mushrooms and the fragrance of chicken blended in the fragrant rice, was accompanied by waves of steam.Natalie scooped up a spoonful of rice and blew on it, before bringing it to Oliver's lips.As she raised her head, she unexpectedly met his intense gaze.Oliver still had the image in his mind, the woman pouting her rosy lips, exhaling gently, reminiscent of the most delicious cherries, h
As a matter of fact, Natalie's French was excellent.When she spoke, it had an authentic Parisian accent.There has always been a saying that French is the most romantic language in the world but it is difficult to master its pronunciation, and many people do not have the opportunity to learn it.It wasn't until this moment that Oliver agreed with this statement.He had never heard anyone speak French so gently and nobly before. Each word she spoke sounded like a melodic song, turning the stiff contractual documents into poetry."Um, brother, I don't recognize this word," he said.The woman's voice suddenly paused."Inflation incontrollable, uncontrollable inflation," Oliver repeated once, then explained.Such specialized vocabulary was not usual.Natalie blinked and was shocked by what she heard.He spoke French... and it sounded so good!"How long have you been learning French?" Oliver asked curiously."Well..." Natalie thought for a moment. "I became interested in it during middle
After Oliver finished reading the email from Europe, he looked up and saw a delicate woman slouched on the sofa, her small head was hanging. Her posture displayed signs of severe fatigue.Oliver had never taken care of a woman before. The only person he ever took care of was his younger brother, Arthur, who displayed the same strong-willed genes and hardly needed his care as he grew older. At this moment, Oliver suddenly realized that Natalie had been taking care of him all day. She probably stayed up all night as well when he had surgery last night. A strange dull pain accompanied by a sense of guilt gripped Oliver's heart. As he removed the needle, he felt a sharp pain in his legs the moment he got off the bed. Without pausing for even a second, he endured the pain and continued walking. He took a thin blanket from the bed and sat down beside Natalie. The sofa naturally sank under their combined weight, causing Natalie's body to lean towards Oliver. Her head rested on his shou
"What on earth have you made? Don't you know Mr. Windsor is very particular about his dietary preferences?" Cadence pointed disdainfully, her face was full of contempt. "Natalie, is that your name? Mr. Windsor would never eat such unappealing dishes. Stop wasting your efforts here!""Miss Cadence!" Rosy May's voice carried a hint of hostility. She didn't like Cadence, but as adults themselves, they had always ensured to maintained civility in the past. However, Cadence had crossed the line this time!The man on the sickbed immediately removed the pillow from his hand and placed one foot on the ground, staring at Natalie.Natalie took a deep breath, glanced at Rosy May for a couple of seconds, suppressed her anger, and prepared to crouch down to clean up the mess.Seeing that Oliver didn't blame her and Natalie didn't dare utter a word, Cadence became even more audacious. "I'll take care of Mr. Windsor from now on. You better leave!""Hisss!" Natalie suddenly felt a sharp pain on her f
"I'm not her friend!"Who the fuck asked her to save face for him!Rosy May disinfected her wound, and then put a band-aid on the small cut.Natalie stood up, somewhat expectantly confirming with him, "You won't protect her?""The fuck, can't you tell that I won’t protect her?" Oliver could really be driven to death by this woman!"Oh, then you wait later," Natalie walked out."Mr. Windsor, don't move! I can't let you mess with your body. Do you want to end up disabled in the future?" Rosy May hastily stopped Oliver who wanted to get out of bed again. "I'll keep an eye on your woman, I promise you that not a hair on her head will be harmed!"Cadence didn't leave, sitting resentfully on the bench in the hospital corridor."Miss Cadence."Natalie walked over and said, "I forgot to tell you something just now."Cadence stood up, full of defiance, "An apology, right? It's too late! I won't accept it!"She wasn't tall, she was only at the same height as Natalie despite wearing a ten-centim
Unfortunately, his current physical condition didn't allow to engage in more intimate acts.Natalie, leaning against the edge of the bed, gasped heavily, turned over, and was horrified to find that the glass shutters were not tightly closed.Outside, Rosy May was gleefully watching with her shining eyes, and the two locked eyes. Rosy May even threw a seductive glance!Oh no! How would Natalie be able to face Doctor May in the future!When it was time to sleep, Natalie made the decision and left the ward after telling Oliver."Where are you going?" the man called out to her from behind."To sleep," she answered."Sleep here," Oliver nodded towards the vacant spot next to him.The VIP bed was very large, it was two-meter wide and was big enough to accommodate two people without an issue."Huh?" Natalie was momentarily stunned, and she shook her head without any hesitation. "There's an empty room next door.""Come over," Oliver didn't waste any words, he didn't care whether there was an
"Men...don't understand?" Oliver remained calm, not feeling any awkwardness about the situation."Oh... I've heard about it," Natalie said, but hearing about it and experiencing it were two different things.She hurriedly sat up, even feeling a bit clumsy, and avoided looking around the bed, quickly tidying up her disheveled clothes.It was strange; she had been sleeping innocently. There was no reason for Oliver’s body act like this in the morning."Is the bottom of the shirt lifted above the waist when you get up?"As Natalie imagined herself in such a situation, sleeping in the same bed as Oliver, her cheeks began to flush."Natalie," Oliver suddenly said, "help me.""Help with what?" Natalie was puzzled and thought he was asking for assistance sitting up.Just as she reached out her hand, it was held by the man, and she followed his gaze to his..."You..." Natalie could probably guess what his "help me" meant."Help me..." Oliver directly stated.Natalie's wrist was held by him, a
