After Dominic Thorne left, Kenneth tried to kiss Sumr Lancaster again, but she turned him down. The doctor had said not to let him get too excited. Kenneth insisted he was fine, but Sumr quickly scrambled off the bed, saying, "We have to listen to the doctor..."
Kenneth had no choice but to lie back down on the bed, a displeased look on his face. ’Is the doctor always right? I have a dical license too, so why won’t she listen to ? Besides, Sumr’s the one who started this fire, and now she’s backing out right when things were getting good.’
Sumr Lancaster carried the porridge Dominic Thorne had bought over to the bedside, but Kenneth looked away, refusing to et her eyes.
"Kenny-Ken, don’t be mad, okay? You need to get better soon. The company can’t function without its president!" Sumr Lancaster said, scooping up so porridge and holding it to his lips.
Kenneth finally turned his head to look at her. "What did you just call ?"
"Kenny-Ken!" Sumr Lancaster replied, her voice both clear and gentle.
Kenneth scowled, pouted, and rolled his eyes. "That na..."
"What’s wrong with it?" Sumr Lancaster cut him off, setting the bowl of porridge down.
"It’s... not bad!"
"Well, since you think the na’s not bad, Kenny-Ken, how about you eat your porridge..."
"Wait a second. You just said the company can’t be without its president. But what about you?" Kenneth still wasn’t playing along, refusing the porridge she offered.
"And I can’t be without my husband," Sumr Lancaster replied earnestly, looking him right in the eye.
"That’s more like it," he said. "Bring the porridge here. You’re feeding ."
Sumr Lancaster couldn’t help but laugh at his bossy, childish behavior. She brought the porridge over and started to feed him. But after the first spoonful, Kenneth reached out, pulled her close, and kissed her, transferring the porridge from his mouth to hers!
"What are you doing!" Sumr Lancaster exclaid, touching her lips in astonishnt. ’Even though they were married, she was still taken aback by such a bold move. But she didn’t find it disgusting. In fact, it felt incredibly sweet!’
"We’re sharing the porridge!"
"I can eat it myself!" Sumr Lancaster mumbled, blushing as she lowered her head. ’She could still feel the lingering taste of his kiss.’
And so, breakfast ended up taking nearly two hours...
Sumr Lancaster stayed at the hospital with him, chatting and peeling apples for him. But what was with all these monts that made her blush and her heart race? ’Besides, Sumr was a patient too, and the company had already approved her leave. And even if they hadn’t, with the big boss right here, who would dare say a word?’
Around ten o’clock, Gregory Lancaster arrived with his wife and daughter to visit Kenneth. Sumr Lancaster was in the restroom, so she didn’t see them co in.
"Kenneth, are you feeling any better?" Gregory Lancaster asked warmly, while Audrey Adler and Yvonne Lancaster hovered behind him with forced smiles.
"I’m fine now. Thank you for your concern."
"About the other day... I’m so sorry about what happened with Sumr. It was a mont of impulse. I just hope she understands that a father sotis has to make difficult choices for the right reasons!" Gregory Lancaster said, feeling too guilty to look Kenneth in the eye. ’If Sumr Lancaster had already told Kenneth about it, they would be in serious trouble. It was better for him to bring it up himself and just skim past it.’
"What are you talking about?"
"Ah, well, it was about Yvonne’s..."
"Oh, that." Kenneth cut Gregory Lancaster off. "I know all about it. I wonder, what are your thoughts on the matter, Audrey? If I hadn’t co back and saved Sumr Lancaster that day, what exactly were you planning to do to her?" His gaze bypassed Gregory, landing nacingly on Audrey Adler and Yvonne Lancaster, who were huddled in the corner.
"Ha... Kenneth, it was all a misunderstanding. I’ve already asked them about it. It’s possible Sumr was mistaken!"
"A misunderstanding?" A humorless smile played on Kenneth’s lips as he glanced at them. "I’ve already investigated the matter thoroughly. Those thugs are at the police station right now."
