Chapter 111 Do Not Drag Her Into This

"Mm," Benedict acknowledged with a nod, then proceeded to offer Calista a few cautious reminders before departing the room.

Throughout this whole episode, Calista's face remained utterly expressionless, as though her facial muscles had completely frozen in place.

Noticing her blank stare, Yelena hesitated before offering a strained smile and saying, "Callie, would you like some fruit? I can fetch some for you!" She moved toward the fruit basket beside the bed as she spoke.

Upon hearing this, Calista replied somewhat curtly, "I'm hungry, I want some oatmeal instead."

Yelena's face tensed up a bit, and with a tinge of irritation, she responded, "The hospital arranges nutritious meals for patients, and yours should be arriving soon!"

But Calista was adamant, "I want the shrimp and cheddar oatmeal from Fortune Lodge right now. Please go and get it for me."

Yelena was startled by Calista's forthrightness in making such a demand; her fists clenched as she fought the urge to retort. She faintly recalled the doctor advising Benedict that Calista shouldn't consume seafood at this time as it could cause severe abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Given the dietary restrictions, Benedict had specifically requested nutritious meal from the hospital.

With a cunning glint in her eye, Yelena thought, I'm not about to harm Calista intentionally. If Calista insists on having that particular meal, then so be it.

"All right! Just wait here, I'll go fetch it for you."

With a show of reluctance, Yelena exited the room. Once outside, she instructed her driver to handle the errand while she took the opportunity to visit a beauty salon. It had been some time since she last pampered herself, and she wondered if perhaps Benedict's recent lack of interest was due to her appearance.
