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."

"Okay."

Sylvia glanced at the thermos on her bedside table. As she reached for it, pain shot through her side where she was bandaged.

"Ow..." She winced, instinctively curling away from the pain.

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

"Thanks."

Leaning back on her pillow, Sylvia watched him carefully as he poured the creamy chowder into a bowl. He stirred it to cool it off, then scooped up a spoonful from the top and brought it to her lips.

She hesitated, a little embarrassed. "I can do it myself."

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

"...Alright."
