Minnie called and asked me why I wasn't at home. I simply explained the situation, and she insisted on delivering breakfast to us.

At first, I didn't want to trouble her. However, after walking around the hospital for a while, I realized that there was nothing to eat, so I agreed to Minnie's insistence.

I waited for her at the hospital entrance under the sun. A few minutes later, Minnie was still nowhere to be seen. Instead, I saw Austin walking in the hospital with a lunch box in hand. I guessed that he was delivering food to Hendrix.

After a while, Minnie finally arrived, and she brought over a variety of breakfast options like buns, porridge as well as soy milk.

She looked like she was in a hurry, which was an indication that she might have something to attend to. After I collected the breakfast from her, she left in a rush.

Since Austin had already brought over food for Hendrix, I headed straight to Josiah's office as he was just done with his rounds.

Seeing that I was carrying a big bag of food, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "So much food?"

I nodded and entered his office. Then I opened a portion of porridge and started eating it while saying, "There are buns and soy milk in it, and also porridge. Pick what you like."

He nodded. Due to the fact that he still had to visit a few patients after that, he simply ate a few steamed buns and drank some soy milk before heading out.

Looking at the remaining porridge and steamed buns, I realized that I couldn't finish it.

I hesitated for a moment before carrying the remaining food to Hendrix's ward. However, I stopped the moment I reached the door.

I heard Andrea's cry from inside the ward. She was crying as she spoke and anyone would pity her if they heard her cries.

"Hendrix, she's far from a decent lady. She broke the things I gifted to you, and she even sent me to the police station," she cried.

"Hendrix, this woman doesn't have any bottom line. You don't need to live with her for the rest of your life just for a baby's sake, do you?"

I didn't have to crack my head to know that Austin was the one who said those mean and sarcastic words.

It wasn't ethical to eavesdrop like that, so I pushed the door open directly and went in.

As soon as I got in, the room fell silent in an instant. Seeing me, Andrea's face fell, and I could see that she was holding her anger back by her chest movements.

I ignored her and the breakfast on the table that hadn't been eaten yet. I then looked at Hendrix and asked, "Do you still want to eat breakfast?"

He glanced at the bag in my hand and nodded, "Yes.11

I took out the porridge and the steamed buns and put them beside him. Then I said lightly, "Minnie cooked them in the morning. Which do you want to eat?" "Porridge." He replied briefly. I nodded as I folded the paper bag and threw it in the trash can.

I turned around and saw that Hendrix was still staring at me, not moving an inch.

I was about to ask him why, but after a pause, I held my tongue. Instead, I talked about another thing, "It's getting late. I should head to the company."

Just after taking a few steps, Hendrix asked me, "Do you think I can eat like this?"

I startled and looked back, only to see that he was still staring at me. I was puzzled as Andrea and Austin were both present.

He wouldn't ask me to feed him in front of them, would he?

I looked at him and with some confusion. When I saw him raising his eyebrows, I realized his intention. He wanted me to feed him!

Andrea wasn't blind, as soon as she saw the scene, she said, "Hendrix, you're still having an infusion. What do you want to eat? I will feed you!"

As she said that, she took the breakfast that Austin had brought there and said with her red and swollen eyes, "I cooked this porridge for you as soon as I was released from the police station earlier this morning, and I asked Austin to bring it to you. Here, have a taste."

Hendrix frowned, "I'm not hungry!"

At that moment, the room became a little awkward.

Andrea paused, and continued awkwardly, "Taste it!"

I couldn't stand being in this scene. So I excused myself again, "I'm leaving now."

Hendrix spoke up, "You don't have to go into the office today. Austin, bring Andrea home, and inform the HR that Arianna is on leave today."

I was amused.

Hendrix really knew the ropes.
