The Silent Wife

Chapter 121

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

at times.”

Justin was baffled by this, and he promptly asked, “She’s been coming every day?”

“Yeah. Ever since I got hospitalized, she visited me every single day with various kinds of meals. She even insists on preparing them herself because takeaways are too greasy and it’s best I avoid them.”

“Why have I never seen her?”

“Perhaps she’s avoiding the time that you would come.”

Gloria looked into his eyes and continued, “You truly went overboard last time. If I were in her shoes, it would’ve been hard for me as well. Why don’t you take the chance to talk about it with her?”

“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.

Upon his exit, Gloria turned to the piling baskets of fruit and snorted.

Get some fruits? Does he think I’m a child?
