"It's fine. It's not very late. I just wanted to come and visit you. I was afraid you'd be too lonely alone."

Cheryl put the food container and scooped out a small bowl of soup, wanting to feed the man.

"Hackett, I've specially asked the doctor. Now that the 24-hour observation period is over, you can have some soup to replenish your strength. You haven't eaten the entire day.". She scooped a spoonful of soup, blew on it gently, and brought it to the man's mouth.

Hackett turned his head slightly and took the bowl of soup from her hand. "I'll feed myself."

Cheryl was embarrassed for a second and could only hand the soup bowl to the man.

The atmosphere in the ward was very strange. Hackett was eating plain soup without saying a word, but his mind was filled with thoughts about who was lying between Valeria and Cheryl.

He observed Cheryl in front of him. In his eyes, Cheryl had always been a weak little girl who needed protection. She liked to cry and was so fragile that a gust of wind could blow her down. Because of this, Abbot asked him to help look after his sister before he died.

Cheryl noticed that the man's gaze was a little strange. She smiled. "Why are you looking at me like that? Don't you recognize me?"

Hackett put the bowl of soup aside and wiped the corner of his mouth with a tissue.

Even though he was covered in injuries and was wearing the same hospital gown, he still had an oppressive temperament.

"Have you ever lied to me?" Hackett suddenly asked in a deep voice.

Cheryl's heart skipped a beat. For a moment, she did not know how to react. She froze for a long time.

After what seemed like an eternity, she tried to hide her panic and laughed. "Why do you say that? Why would I lie to you? I've never lied to you."

In fact, she was panicking. Why did Hackett suddenly ask this? Did he know something?

Hackett had been staring at Cheryl, observing the subtle changes in her expression. He did not want to miss any detail.
