Since Sharon insisted on preparing dinner herself, she didn’t return with Wendy.

By the time Wendy came back carrying the medicinal soup, Julliard’s assistant had already left.

“Julliard,” Wendy said, setting the tray down, “this is the medicinal soup Sharon made for you today.”

Aside from the first two days after he was hospitalized–when he had needed help with everything–Julliard had insisted on eating and drinking on his own.

He accepted the bowl with a faint smile. “Sharon has gone to such trouble for me.”

And he drank every last drop.

“As for Theo… he was even worse. Junk food outside tempted him more. He’d take a few perfunctory bites, then refuse to touch another spoonful. He completely wasted Sharon’s efforts.”
