The soft laughter interrupted Tang En, and he looked back to see Jude staring at him with bright eyes. Suddenly he felt a bit shy. "Eh, it is still hot… You're awake?"
It was an obvious question.
Jude wanted to nod her head, but she didn't have the energy, so she just smiled softly.
"Here, finish this." Tang En gave the cup and spoon to Jude, and she looked at the black pasty substance and frowned.
"What… is this?" the girl asked.
"Sesame paste." In order to get it, Tang En had spent a long time looking for it, and had to go some distance to a larger Chinese supermarket. He did all this while Jude was still unconscious. The "black sesame paste" was a mon remedy in China.
A strong fragrance came from the cup and went up Jude's nose. She took a deep breath and tried to take in the smell. It was definitely the smell of sesame.
She really wanted to try the sesame paste, but her hands had no strength to hold the cup and carry the spoon to her mouth.
Seeing that Jude hesitated, Tang En then realized the reason. Patients often need someone to feed them when they're sick. How could he forget that? So, he took the spoon from Jude's hand and held it in front of his own mouth.
Jude stared a him and realized that Tang En was actually blowing on it because he did not want the paste to burn her.
She lowered her head and softly said, "Thank you."
"Thanks for what?" Tang En put the spoon in front of her face.
"We've only known each other…" Tang En gently pushed the spoon into her mouth to stop her from speaking.
Hearing Jude talk like this, Tang En shrugged his shoulders and said, "I just didn't need the hassle of the police asking me why a pretty girl died in my house?"
Jude had not expected his teasing reply. He had a way with talking to girls. In response, she pretended to pout angrily and bit the spoon hard inside of her mouth. Tang En was surprised at the girl's reaction. He tried to take the spoon out of her mouth and failed. He stared at her.
Jude, who was still biting the spoon, gave him a triumphant look.
Tang En laughed, took out his phone, opened the camera function, and pointed it at Jude.
"What are you… ah?!" Jude, alarmed, forgot the spoon, opened her mouth to protest, and the spoon dropped onto the bed.
At that exact moment, Kacha! Tang En pressed the camera button.
"That was too perfect…"
Two days later, Jude was able to leave the hospital. She was diagnosed with a mon cough and fever that had been intensified by the strain of travel and not enough rest. Tang En thought it had to be more plicated.
Constantine agreed and said that if the treatment did not continue to work and if the high fever returned, it could trigger a more dangerous illness, such as meningitis.
After she left the hospital, Jude was back to her energetic self again. She had no symptoms, and Tang En was relieved. He had just gone through Gavin's death. Tang En did not want to see anyone around him suffer, even if he had only been with the person for three short days.
Although he knew it was unusual that he already thought of Jude like he did others in his life, he did not think that there was anything wrong with it. The problem was, people got the impression that they were father and daughter. The nurse, Kate, that took care of Jude in the hospital for two days, was always calling them father and daughter. Tang En could not bring himself to explain the situation or Jude's background. Oddly, the name that Tang En did not like, "Uncle Tony
