Chapter 167
Lucian, I made this lunch especially for you this morning. It’s a porcini mushroom soup that I’ve been
simmering all morning. Give it a try?
Penelope lifted the lunchbox, and the fragrant scent of mushroom soup immediately filled the air.
Lucian took a sip and was instantly surprised.
He had always thought that Penelope was a pampered little rich girl. He didn’t expect her to be able to
cook, let alone make something tasty.
He downed an entire bowl “Did you make this?”
Penelope blinked. In reality, she didn’t know how to cook. She would get dizzy from the smoke every
time she entered the kitchen, But seeing Lucian enjoying it, she wouldn’t disappoint him “Of course,”
she said with a smile. “Is it good?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“It’s perfect.”
Penelope didn’t expect Allison’s cooking skills to be this good. It was as if that evil woman had gotten
the upper hand. But she knew in her heart no matter how delicious the food was, Lucian would always
believe she made it.
“Lucian, I cut my hand preparing this lunch for you.” As she said this, Penelope lifted her hand, showing
a band–aid wrapped around her finger from a cut she got the night before.
Seeing Penelope’s pitiful expression, Lucian furrowed his brows.
“You’ve worked hard but have to go through all this trouble. I can have the house servants deliver
food.” Lucian felt a bit guilty for Penelope’s efforts.
“Lucian, I can bring you lunch every day. I’m your fiancée, and I’m carrying your child. I’m willing to do
all this for you.
“Thank you, Penelope”
“Lucian, as long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters.”
Penelope started to serve the other dishes from the thermos, including spaghetti bolognese, roast
chicken, and a seafood platter.
Lucian tasted a few bites. The chicken was tender, the seafood slightly spicy, but the spaghetti
bolognese felt familiar as if he had tasted it before.
His expression changed slightly. “Penelope, did you also make all these dishes?”
“Of course.” Penelope bowed her head, completely engrossed in her joy and oblivious to Lucian’s
expression. She looked forward to bringing him lunch every day, eating together, and deepening their
relationship.
Lucian frowned. These common dishes tasted too familiar. Perhaps his taste buds were playing tricks
on him…
It wasn’t until the afternoon that Allison finally arrived at Mercy Grove Hospital.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Hello, Adeline. I’m Allison, a friend of Ashley’s.”
Allison knocked on the office door and immediately recognized the woman painting her nails as
Adeline. She looked a lot like Ashley.
Normally, doctors and nurses aren’t allowed to paint their nails, but this was a mental health hospital
with few patients, so it was okay for Adeline to have light pink nails.
Adeline glanced at Allison, a beautiful and delicate girl.
“Allison, come in. Ashley told me you’re looking for a part–time job. Although we don’t have many
patients here, they’re a bit special. We pay by the hour. so you can leave whenever you want.”
“You decide; I can go with anything.”
“Okay, then it’s settled. You go change into a uniform, then take patients from rooms 202 to 207 to the
lawn outside for an hour of exercise. I’ll have Laura accompany you, and she’s a nurse here”
The patients in these six rooms were not many, and most of them were children.
The oldest child was only 16 years, and the rest were quite young.
Allison also saw a familiar face, the boy named Heath she had once seen in the restroom.
