Chapter 167:

At Peace Hospital, Kristopher posed a gentle question as he sat beside the bed, cradling a bowl of freshly made oatmeal. “What would you like to do later?” He blew softly on the spoonful of oatmeal, casting a tender look at Cathy, who was sitting up weakly against the headboard.

The warmth made her wince slightly, her delicate eyebrows coming together. “It’s hot.”

“Is it?” Kristopher frowned, testing the oatmeal on the back of his hand. “It’s not hot.”

Cathy pouted playfully. “But it feels hot in my mouth. Try it, and you’ll see.”

Her eyes sparkled with mischief as she watched Kristopher. Realizing her playful intent, Kristopher gave a helpless smile and lightly tapped her forehead. “Stop being silly.”
