All Too Late

Chapter 71

Kathleen woke up after sleeping for only a short while.

For the past three days, she had been relying on IV drips to get all the necessary nutrients.

Hence, she felt hungry after waking up.

She sat up, wanting to look around the ward for something to eat.

To her surprise, she saw Christopher sitting beside her bed.

“Chris?” Kathleen was taken aback. “Have you been here for a long time?”

Christopher nodded. “I’ve been here for quite a while. I didn’t wake you up since I noticed you were still sleeping.”

Kathleen pursed her lips. “I’m sorry for the trouble.”

“You’re the patient. Why are you apologizing?” Christopher gazed at her, his heart aching. “Are you hungry?”

Kathleen was a little embarrassed when she answered, “A little.”

“You don’t look like you’re just a little hungry.” Christopher got to his feet and took out the thermal lunch box he brought. “You were unconscious for three days. You haven’t had anything apart from the IV drips. My mom made you some oatmeal. Here, try this.”

“Oh, you didn’t have to trouble Aunt Emily.” Kathleen felt bad.

“Please. Don’t treat us like strangers.” Christopher served her some oatmeal. “There are also some toppings here. You can have it with the oatmeal.”

“Okay.” Kathleen took the spoon from him and ate slowly.

She ate rather gracefully.

On top of that, her pitiful looks made Christopher’s heart ache.

At that, he raised his hand and placed it on top of Kathleen’s head. “You can rely on me, Kate.”

Kathleen’s cheeks flushed red, and she lowered her head without making a sound.

Christopher smiled gently. “Does the topping suit your tastes?”

Kathleen nodded.

“That’s great. I was the one who prepared it.” Christopher smiled faintly.

Kathleen was stunned. “You made it?”

“What is it? Did you think I could not cook?” Christopher grinned. “I’ve got great cooking skills, you know? If you don’t believe me, I’ll make you some food and let you try them next time.”

“I believe you.” Kathleen took another mouthful of the oatmeal. “You never lie.”
