Chapter 176

Before going to the kitchen, Olivia wrote a list for the butler and asked her to prepare the ingredients

referring to it.

In the kitchen, she used the available ingredients to prepare a bowl of meat soup for herself.

This type of soft dish was Isaac’s favorite, It was also one of the few dishes she excelled at. She was

skilled in three types of cuisine.

They were the soft food that Isaac loved, the seafood dishes that Gillian favored, and the local dishes

in Evervale with sweet and sour sauce that Jarron liked.

Only she did not know how to make the spicy cuisine that she loved.

The butler quickly returned with all the ingredients and herbs.

Lindy followed behind and entered the kitchen

She looked at the kitchen filled with ingredients and slightly furrowed her brow. “Ms. Olivia, if there’s

anything you need, you can have the kitchen prepare it. There’s no need for you to trouble yourself.”

Olivia was holding a bowl of meat soup and slowly enjoying it spoon by spoon. When she saw Lindy

approaching, she invited her to sit down.

“Do you want to try it?” She pushed the other bowl of untouched meat

soup over.

Lindy, accustomed to gourmet dishes and daily meals prepared by renowned chefs, couldn’t

understand why she would be interested in this simple–looking bowl of meat soup.

However, she politely declined. “Thank you, but I just had lunch, and I’m too full to eat.”

Olivia nodded and continued eating without saying anything.

She sat in the chair, holding the spoon with her fingertips as she slowly scooped up the meat soup. Her

movements were elegant, and her etiquette was impeccable.

Lindy initially had many things to say, but as she watched Olivia, she felt a sense of tranquility and

didn’t want to disturb the moment.

She stood at the side and watched her eat silently.

In the spacious kitchen, there was only one table for food preparation. This originally simple place

seemed to take on an elevated appearance

with Olivia sitting there.

The chef at the side even had an illusion that his table was placed well and was very suitable for having

a meal.

Olivia sat at the center of the table, eating slowly and gracefully.

The people surrounding her watched Olivia as if they were waiters awaiting a guest’s call.

It was clearly a very strange scene, but no one noticed anything amiss. Instead, they felt that it was

natural.

After finishing the meat soup, Olivia wiped her mouth with a napkin and noticed Lindy.

She raised an eyebrow and asked, “Why are you still here?”

Her tone was calm and not accusatory, just mild curiosity.

However, for some reason, Lindy became nervous and stammered, as if she were a secretary reporting

to her manager. “I, I…”

Olivia’s raised eyebrow added to her unease. She couldn’t remember why she was there.

Feeling flustered, Lindy sought help from the butler, who was also nervous. But being at a safe

distance from Olivia allowed the butler to remain rational. The butler explained, “Ms. Olivia wants to

personally handle the ingredients. Mrs. Patterson was concerned about it so she came over to check.”

Lindy nodded, recalling the reason for her presence.

“Ms. Olivia, you can just tell the chef what you want. You don’t have to do it yourself.”

Olivia shook her head and explained softly, “Food can be more effective than medicine in treating

patients. Your son has a congenital condition and needs gradual recovery. It’s best to use medicinal

cuisine, and that’s something only I can do.”

Lindy was completely stunned. She didn’t expect Olivia to come to the kitchen to prepare medicinal

cuisine for Anthony.

Feeling somewhat touched, she said, “You don’t have to do it yourself. We have a specialist in the

kitchen preparing traditional medicine. Let him do it.”

Olivia placed the bowl near the sink and said, “Medicinal cuisine isn’t easy to prepare. I’d rather do it

myself.”

Seeing that persuasion wasn’t working, Lindy stopped trying to convince her and stayed in the kitchen

to help.

As the host, it wouldn’t be right to leave the guest in the kitchen.

At first, Lindy thought that Olivia was just acting on a whim. But when she saw how Olivia was skillfully

handling the ingredients, it became clear that she was genuinely committed to this.

To be honest, Lindy was quite surprised. Young people of Olivia’s age rarely cooked or even entered

the kitchen. Moreover, Olivia had been dedicated to her studies and research, keeping her busy both

academically and scientifically.

How could she find time to cook?

She asked her without thinking.

Olivia smiled. She was in a good mood and was willing to chat, so she explained unhurriedly, “My

grandfather loves to eat my food. Whenever I’m in the kitchen, he eats a larger portion of food.”

Lindy said, “You are very filial.”

Olivia lowered her gaze and didn’t say anything. However, she paused for a moment in her actions.

In her eyes, she wasn’t filial at all.

If she were truly filial, how could she have abandoned her medical career and stayed away from home

for several years just to escape?

These past years, Isaac must have been very sad.

The medicinal cuisine was prepared quickly because the chef and others helped with ingredient

preparation, leaving Olivia to handle the medicinal herbs only.

In no time, the chicken soup was simmering.

Olivia wiped her hands and said, “Let it simmer for an hour and a half, and then it will be ready to drink.

I’ll advise him to have two bowls today, and we’ll change to something else tomorrow.” As she spoke,

she pointed at the small soup bowl nearby, “Use this bowl, and don’t eat the meat.”

After starting to simmer the chicken soup, Olivia left.

Lindy remained behind.

The butler was concerned that she might get tired and said, “Mrs. Patterson, please go and rest. I’ll

stay here.”

Lindy nodded and said, “Alright.”

As she was leaving, she passed by the chef and suddenly complimented. “The location of that table is

excellent.”

The chef was pleasantly surprised to hear that even she thought his table was placed perfectly.

The chicken soup didn’t have much aroma when it was first stewed. But after an hour, as it was nearing

completion, the fragrance started to emerge.

It had a strong fragrance.

The butler sniffed, and her stomach immediately growled. She was so hungry.

Even the chef, who was accustomed to delicious smells, couldn’t resist this aroma.

It was too fragrant.

They couldn’t believe that it was a medicinal cuisine.

The chef swallowed and said to the butler, “I think that Ms. Olivia is not a doctor, she must be a chef.”

The butler was amused and said, “You, always cracking jokes.”

After that, her stomach growled again.

“It’s so fragrant, I can’t resist it. I really want to eat something.”

For the first time, the usually gentle and refined butler showed a wolf–like stare and fixed her gaze on

the chef. She asked, “Is there anything to eat?”

The chef shook his head. “There isn’t any.” Seeing that the butler was quite hungry, he added, “Please

wait for a moment, I can make pasta for you.”

“It’s too much trouble.” The butler furrowed her brow. Then, for some reason, her gaze landed on the

remaining bowl of meat soup.

She walked over and picked up the meat soup. “I’ll eat this.”

“It’s already cold. Let me heat it up for you.”

“No need.” The butler shook her head as she couldn’t wait any longer. The aroma of the chicken soup

was too enticing. She was afraid that if she didn’t eat something else, she wouldn’t be able to resist

having the chicken soup.

As a butler who cared about her image, she wondered how she could do something as embarrassing

as drooling.

After bringing the meat soup over, the butler scooped a spoonful and ate it with relish.

The meat soup was originally something she was eating just to get by, but as soon as she took a

spoonful, she was left dumbfounded.

What kind of heavenly delicacy was this?

It was incredibly delicious.

The butler didn’t even bother to lift her head and chatted with the chef. Spoonful after spoonful, she

quickly devoured the meat soup, not leaving a drop of the soup or any ingredients behind.

If it weren’t for her concern about her image, she would have licked the bowl clean.

The chef went to check the condition of the chicken soup being cooked. When he turned back, he saw

the butler’s empty bowl in just a short

moment

“You were so hungry?” The chef was astonished by how quickly she had

eaten.

The butler gazed directly at the chef and said, “I think you were right earlier.”

“Right about what?” The chef couldn’t understand her words.

The butler replied, “Ms. Olivia is undoubtedly a chef, a renowned one!”
