Chapter 505

Sylvia's cheeks flushed even redder as she shot him a glare. "Who... who are you, really?"

"Lester. We've met before, remember? That blind date."

"I went on a blind date with you?" Sylvia looked genuinely surprised.

"Well, there was a bit of a misunderstanding, but that's close enough." Lester grinned, then changed the subject. "Your mom went to see the doctor. She brought you some clam chowder—said you should eat as soon as you woke up."

"Hey, don't move." Lester steadied her with a gentle hand. "Let me help."

Lester glanced at her bandaged arm. "You're the patient. No need to play tough."
