Chapter 21

Alexander didn’t even notice how his frown faded. He could hardly contain his exhilaration.

Taking one bite after another, he finished the beef stew in a flash, leaving his mouth with an unfulfilled sensation. All of a sudden, the corners of his lips turned upward as the resistance that was once in his head vanished. You and your unique taste buds, Elise!

The following day, Elise woke up to a familiar scent of disinfectant. When she opened her eyes, she was dazed to find Alexander seated on the chair beside her bed. He was sitting in a rather slothful posture with his legs crossed. Yet, there was a hint of dashingness on him, which left Elise staring at him for a few seconds before she hastily blurted, “Why are you here?”

He lifted his gaze and looked into her eyes. “You’re finally awake. Good. Pack your things and let’s head back.”

Hearing that, Elise grew joyous and even forgot to question Alexander regarding his presence. She delightfully

stated, “I can go back to school already? That’s wonderful!”

Only God knew how long she had stayed in the hospital. She would’ve died from boredom if not for the

discharge.

Alexander didn’t speak much despite her glee. Tactfully, he stood up and glanced at the lunchbox placed on the

table beside him. “Tidy up and eat. I’ll handle your discharge at the reception.”

It wasn’t until he finished his sentence that she noticed the lunchbox beside her. But why does it look so familiar?

Is... Is this the beef stew from last night?

“You..” Before she could say another word, Alexander had already exited the room.

She then took another look at the lunchbox before feeling the warmth on its surface with her palms. With a doubtful frown, she started wondering and realized that he must have only done that because of Jonah.

After packing her things up, Elise started munching on her favorite beef stew. Later, when Alexander came back

from settling her discharge procedure, she followed him out of the hospital.

In the rather cramped car, Elise sat in the back seat. Not long after the car started moving, her phone rang in her
