When Love Breaks by Jack

Chapter 596

Holding Gregory’s hand, I began to devour the deliciously aromatic dumplings he had made just for me.

As he fed me, Gregory laid down the law, “The doctor said you need to rest up properly. Once you’re out of here, you’re staying home with Ramona. If you can’t reach me, don’t go wandering off anywhere.”

I nodded.

The storm was far from over.

For now, there was nothing I could do except try not to be a burden on Gregory.

I looked up into his red-rimmed eyes, “Why haven’t you been answering my calls today?”

“Been so busy, I didn’t even have a moment to call you back.”

Hearing this, Gregory instinctively started to explain, but I sighed, “So, you’ve been too swamped to even grab a bite?”

A smile played at the corners of Gregory’s mouth. “Here I thought you were gearing up to give me a hard time. Turns out you’re just worried about me?”

I snatched the soup spoon from him and fed him a dumpling before responding, “Why would I start a fight?”

“I care more about your health than anything else.”

Gregory swallowed the dumpling and raised an eyebrow suggestively, “Don’t worry, this body of mine will keep you happy for a long time.” Somehow, the word ‘happy’ sounded so odd coming from him.
