The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 312

"What are you thinking about?" A low, magnetic voice pulled Maeve out of her thoughts.

She looked up to meet Byron's eyes and instinctively averted her gaze.

"Nothing." Maeve shook her head. "I was just thinking about wanting some spaghetti bolognese. Can you make that?"

Byron raised an eyebrow. "Never made it before, but I can give it a try."

He picked up the ingredients and headed to the kitchen, taking Will along with him. In the Mcdaniel family, no one was a freeloader.

The sight of the two, one big and one small, walking toward the kitchen gave Maeve a warm feeling.

Lost in her thoughts, she barely noticed when Theo softly said from her arms, "Mommy, Jaylen called. There's probably something important."

In the past six months, Jaylen had been increasingly busy treating patients, rarely reaching out unless something urgent

came up.

Theo couldn't shake the feeling that Jaylen was deliberately keeping his distance. The reason was unknown.

"Looks like the busy person has finally shown up," Maeve said, carrying Theo toward the room. "You should ask him how long he plans to rest after this."

The patient Jaylen was currently treating seemed quite difficult. Maeve had rarely seen Jaylen spend so much time on a single case.

Usually, he would wrap things up within half a month. This time was definitely unusual.

Theo nodded, connecting the call with Jaylen and switching to speaker mode. "Jaylen, are you done? Are you planning to take a break soon?"

"Theo, it's me." A much older voice came from the other end.

Theo squealed with excitement, "Mr. Walker, why is it you? Where's Jaylen?"

Rudolf's voice sounded solemn. "Jaylen hasn't woken up yet. He'll probably need to rest for a long time."

"What does that mean? Is Jaylen not going out to treat patients anymore? He

can't even take care of himself. If I hadn't accidentally discovered that the prescription he wrote for himself was problematic, I wouldn't have known how long he was going to
