Chapter 720: Face the Problems

Prev Chapter Next Chapter

Lily's conversation with Eunice does work. The next morning, Lorraine delivers a bowl of soup to her.

To Lorraine's surprise, Eunice says calmly after having the soup, "Mom, I know Ryan sent someone to

deliver this soup to me and then you brought it here."

Lorraine is shocked, but she hurriedly says, "What are you talking about? I cooked it for you. It has

nothing to do with Ryan..."

"Mom, stop lying. The ingredients in the soup are especially difficult to deal with. It entailed special

cooking skills."

Lorraine opens her mouth. She wants to explain but she has no idea what to say. Finally, she decides

not to hide the truth. As her daughter, Eunice must know her very well. Eunice has been so familiar with

the food cooked by Lorraine that she can easily tell the difference.

Lorraine says honestly, "Mom didn't mean to hide it from you. You're in the recovery stage now and

need nutrition. I'm afraid that you wouldn't drink the soup from Ryan. But I don't have time to make

such nutritional soup while taking care of you in the hospital."

Eunice looks down at the empty white porcelain bowl in her hand. After pondering for a few seconds,

she raises her head and says, "Let him deliver it himself."

"Who?" Lorraine is shocked.

Eunice heaves a sigh of relief, "Ryan."

For so many days, everyone around her has been working on her problems. She is already twenty-two

years old, so she can no longer be as self-willed as a child. At the very least, she must fix her own

emotional problems properly on her own.

Lorraine naturally hopes that Eunice is willing to see Ryan. As Eunice's mother, she can tell that Ryan

truly loves Eunice. If Eunice accepts him, she will be happy.

However, Eunice resistance to Ryan has been strong, and Lorraine is afraid that it would impede her

recovery. She has never said anything about Ryan, even though she really wants to.

Lorraine is delighted to know that Eunice is willing to see Ryan. "Sweetie, are you ready? Have you

forgiven him?"

Forgive?

Eunice doesn't think so. She still has mixed feelings at the thought of him. So she shakes her head

gently and says, "I have to face him anyway."

Lily is right. Escaping from problems will brings her nothing. She must try to face them. Facing Ryan

also means facing her true feelings.

"Eunice, you are already an adult. I am very happy that you figure it out. Ryan is not a bad man. He

treats you well, but how you get along with him depends on how you feel. No matter what the result is,

mom is always by your side. You don't need to worry too much."

No matter what happens, her family will never leave her alone.

Eunice is so touched that her eyes redden. And she suddenly feels more confident. Perhaps she

should really try to take this step.

--

After telling Lorraine to let Ryan deliver the soup himself, Eunice sees Ryan coming into the ward with

an insulated food container at dinnertime.

Eunice is able to get out of bed and walk normally now. She has just come from the small garden with a

red knitted coat on.

Seeing Ryan walk in, Eunice instinctively wraps her coat tightly. She thinks that Ryan would ask her

why she suddenly allows him to come over, but he doesn't say anything.

He naturally and smoothly unscrews the lid of the insulated food container, pours the soup into the bowl

and places it on the bedside table, "Enjoy your dinner."

He behaves so naturally that people would believe he has come here every day to take care of her.

However, the atmosphere makes Eunice more relaxed. If Ryan didn't behave naturally, she would feel

uncomfortable and embarrassed. Now she feels good.

After placing the food on the table, Ryan walks to the clothes rack near the end of the bed and takes off

his suit jacket, with only a white shirt on. And he loosens his tie.

Eunice looks at him for a few seconds later and then at the food container. She says nothing and starts

to eat slowly.

Ryan does not stay close to her. He deliberately sits on the sofa far away from her. He can tell that she

is very nervous. He is afraid that she would feel even more uncomfortable if he stays close to her.

After Eunice almost finishes eating, he walks over with a napkin and hands it to her. Noticing that most

of the food remains untouched, Ryan frowns and says, "Why did you eat so little?"

Eunice is already full. "I ate lunch late. I don't feel very hungry."

Ryan does not force her to eat all the food. Eunice thinks that he will throw it away. However, to her

surprise, Ryan sits on a chair next to her and hurriedly starts eating the leftovers.

Thanks to his good table manners, he eats very quickly but elegantly. But Eunice is astonished.

"Haven't you had dinner?"

Ryan swallows the food in his mouth before he slowly says, "Yes. I have no time."

He attended a long meeting just now. If he had dinner before coming here, he would have been late.

He is afraid that she would be hungry, so he hurriedly rushed over.

Looking at the cold food with mixed feelings, Eunice finally says with guilt, "Why didn't you eat with me

just now..."

"I was afraid you'd feel uncomfortable." Ryan quickly takes a few mouthfuls and gives the leftovers to

the nurse outside the door casually.

When he returns to the ward, he sees that Eunice's face is still filled with shock. He walks over and sits

down beside her. His dark eyes are gentle. "What's wrong?"

Eunice finally regains her senses. Somehow, she cannot believe that Ryan would eat her leftovers.

Has he ever eaten others' leftovers?

However, she cannot ask him that question. So she can only try to hide the surprise in her eyes,

"Nothing..."

"I'll stay here with you tonight."

Eunice gets a bit nervous, "Where's my mother?"

"I told your mother to go back and have a rest." Seemingly afraid that she would feel uncomfortable,

Ryan adds, "You don't want me to stay here with you?"

"No. I don't mean that." Eunice feels a little overwhelmed. Every time she sees him, she gets lost

easily.

"How can you sleep while staying with me here?"

Ryan raises his hand and pats the bench beside him. "I can sleep here. It's okay with me."

This bench seems to be only a meter wide. He is very strong, and he even doesn’t have enough space

to roll over. It must be very uncomfortable.

But since he insists so, Eunice says nothing more. She uses the remote control to turn on the TV on

the wall. With the host's loud voice from the TV show, Eunice feels better.

Ryan does not stare at her. Instead, he takes out his notebook and looks at the colorful figures

presenting statistics. They stay together peacefully. He even receives a phone call and doesn't mind

Eunice is here at all.

"If the villa is good, sign the contract. You can make the decision. As for the renovation, change it as

much as possible according to the designer's plan. Be quick."
