Crossroads

Chapter 124

Since they returned from Serenburg. Dominick had been very busy.

Stephanie wanted to ask what he was busy with, but Dominick wasn’t keen to tell her.

George was still in Serenburg, and while Stephanie’s days were comfortable, she felt a bit uneasy.

“How is his injury?” A doctor came to the house on the weekend to check on Dominick

“Mr. Wellington’s forehead wound has healed. It’s safe for him to wash without worrying about infection. His right scapula is also healing nicely, but he should avoid lifting heavy things for the next two months. He should eat more food rich in calcium and collagen and avoid too much seafood…”

Stephanie sat nearby, listening carefully to the doctor’s advice and silently taking notes.

“Are you satisfied?” Dominick glanced at her. As he spoke, Dominick glanced at the large clock in the living room, then stood up from the sofa as if he had urgent business to attend to.

“Dominick, the doctor said you shouldn’t stay up late! Stephanie didn’t dare to stop him, but she was a bit frustrated and called out to him.

She really didn’t know what he was so busy with. Several times, he had stayed up all night. The day before yesterday, she couldn’t resist and called Vincent to ask, but he only said, “Don’t meddle.”

Clearly, he thought she was more of a hindrance than a help.

“Sandra, I want to learn to cook. Can you teach me?”

Wellington Villa was large, with gardens and many empty rooms. Stephanie spent her time there resting, occasionally chatting with George. Now that George was away, the place felt even more lonely.

Sandra initially refused, but Stephanie stubbornly stayed in the kitchen. The maids exchanged helpless glances and eventually let her wash vegetables, though they kept her away from the knives.

Stephanie knew her limits. “I’ll just learn to make soup. By the way, how do you make clam chowder? Do you just throw all the ingredients in for stewing? I want to make that soup today…”

Sandra looked a bit troubled but didn’t want to dampen her enthusiasm. She gently suggested, “Mrs. Wellington, that’s a bit complicated. Let’s start with how to clean clams.”

“Oh.” She had plenty of time, and she had other things to keep herself busy…
