The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 439

The twins had prepared three dishes. Though it wasn't a large amount, they figured they could spare one.

The two boys carefully packed each portion into separate thermos flasks and brought them to the door to meet Connor. "This was actually made for our mom," Will explained, hoping Connor wouldn't mind the small portion. It was a gesture of kindness. Otherwise, they wouldn't have given any of it away.

Hearing it was meant for the boys' mother, Connor felt touched by their generosity and a little guilty. "Thank you so much. Please send my thanks to your parents," he said, offering them a small gift in return.

But the twins simply shook their heads and walked back to the villa hand-in-hand.

Watching them go, Connor felt a pang of regret. They had shown such kindness, and he didn't want it to seem as though he was treating their good deed as something that can be paid.

Connor eagerly returned home to his wife, with his butler in tow. Connor's butler asked, "6ir, should I check if it's safe?"

Connor paused, then shook his head. "No, we asked them for this, and they probably don't even know who we are. There's no reason they'd do anything to the food." He recalled the twins bright, sincere expressions and didn't want to doubt their goodwill. The butler nodded, a bit embarrassed. "Apologies, sir. I was being overly cautious."

Connor waved him off and wasted no time in rushing upstairs to get the thermos to his wife, who had been suffering from severe anorexia for over a year. Once vibrant, she now looked gaunt, with hollow cheeks and a pale complexion.

This was all due to going overboard with dieting. The only thing keeping his wife alive was the IV injections.

Connor gently poured food into a bowl and brought it to his wife's lips, fearing she might still react badly, as she often did to food.

To his surprise, she finished the bowl of fish soup without any nausea, even enjoying the tender pieces of fish. "How do you feel?" he asked, his voice barely steady with excitement.
