Chapter 248

Ethan was right about that.

Despite knowing her health wasn't great and having been told to eat properly that morning—she had even thought of herself as a mature adult capable of taking care of herself—she had still fainted at noon and was now trying to skip dinner.

Feeling guilty, she avoided Ethan's gaze and mumbled softly, "I had a proper breakfast and lunch, so skipping dinner isn't a big deal."

Ethan said calmly, "It's not a big deal-except that it'll make you weaker and slow down your recovery." There was a trace of displeasure in his tone.

He had been helping her, taking care of her all this time. When she fainted earlier, he was the one who stayed by her bedside.

So, he had every right to scold her.

"What did you buy? Oh wow, my favorite cake! Perfect timing-I was just craving it."

Ethan smiled helplessly at her exaggerated enthusiasm. "The cake can wait. Eat your meal first."
