Chapter 548 Taylor, You're So Kind

Anna lay limply on the bed, her body lacking any strength. When Taylor came back, she nestled down again like a little kitten, weakly lifting her eyelids to look at

him.

"Taylor, I feel horrible. I miss my mom. When can I go home?" she asked, her voice filled with longing.

Taylor was momentarily stunned. How could he tell this little girl that not only was going home impossible, but her life might also be at risk?

Looking at her innocent face, as untouched by the world's troubles as a tender bud, ready to bloom, the truth was too cruel.

He chose a gentle lie instead. "Once you get better, you can go home."

"Really?" she asked, hope gleaming in her eyes.

"Yes, now get up and eat something."

"Taylor, I'm so tired. Can you feed me? At home, Ethan always feeds me," she pleaded.

Thinking about the hardships she was likely to face in the future, Taylor couldn't refuse her. "Alright."

He fed her one spoonful at a time. She ate contentedly, then yawned and wanted to go back to sleep.

"Hold on, take your medicine first."

"Okay," she agreed, but she was so sleepy that she kept nodding off like a little chick pecking at grains. Suddenly, she perked up, "Ugh, that's so bitter!"

"Bitter medicine is the best cure. Just drink it, and you'll feel better."

"No way, it's too bitter! I won't drink it," she declared, diving under the covers and squirming like a caterpillar, protesting, "I won't drink it, no way!"

Yael tugged at Taylor's shirt, "Taylor, hungry, want milk."

Taylor patted his head. "Be good, it's not time for milk. Go eat some food."

"Taylor feed," Yael demanded.

"I'm very busy right now."

Yael pouted stubbornly. "You feed her, feed me too."

Taylor felt exasperated. How had he become a kindergarten teacher overnight?

Usually, Yael ate on his own, but now he wanted to be fed too.
