Chapter 121

After seeing his client, Justin hurried to the hospital.

Upon entering the ward, he saw Gloria sitting on the bed while having her meal. “You’re early today. Have you eaten? Want to share?”

“I’m good. I had lunch with a client just now.”

“I see. If you had come even earlier, you would’ve met Rachel. Look, she made some chicken soup for me. It was fish soup yesterday. Though fish soup helps with recovery, she said it’s better to switch to other flavors

“There’s nothing to talk about.”

“Justin, you’re always holding back your thoughts and behaving like you’re the coldest man in the world.”

“Eat up. I’ll go get some fruit.”

Having said that, Justin exited the ward.
