Chapter 640: 640: Help Him Shave?

At his first sip of the rice porridge, Daniel Marshall felt like throwing up.

Seeing this, Mrs. Jenkins became worried and asked Olivia Jenkins to attend to Daniel immediately.

With a sense of helplessness, Olivia touched Daniel’s forehead. He had a low fever, but it wasn’t severe. “You didn’t eat anything last night, did you? Are you feeling like your stomach is churning because it’s empty?”

As a matter of fact, Daniel had had nothing to eat for the whole of yesterday. He looked at his wife pitifully and nodded, “I don’t want to eat, because it makes me feel like vomiting.”

“You must eat something. When your stomach is empty, the unfamiliar sensation makes it uncomfortable and causes the urge to vomit. Take a sip of the porridge, pause when you feel like throwing up, once the churning subsides, gradually sip a little more. Repeat this process.”

On Olivia’s beautiful face there was no trace of emotion, but her almond-shaped eyes, sparkling with indifference, were fixed on Daniel.

Not wanting her grandmother to worry too much, Olivia did her best to hide her displeasure and loathing.

Acting as if nothing was wrong, Daniel glanced tenderly at Olivia and then, obediently, began sipping slowly at his rice water.

After the initial few sips, he did indeed feel nauseous. Yet, after waiting a moment and drinking again, it seemed as though his stomach had found a base and had also gotten used to the warm rice water, as the nausea disappeared.

After another few sips of the rice porridge, Daniel began to feel better, “Wife, I don’t feel like vomiting anymore, I think I can have some rice porridge now.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Olivia did not respond to Daniel, only served him three spoonfuls of the porridge.

Daniel was obedient and ate the porridge in small bites, “Wife, I’m a little hungry still.”

Olivia glanced at Daniel, “You can’t eat anymore. Let’s observe for a bit. If you don’t feel like vomiting, you can eat some more.”

“Thank you, wife. I understand now, it’s been hard on you.”

Olivia seemed to be deaf to his words, her body still radiated a cold aura.

Mrs. Jenkins kept glancing back and forth between Daniel and Olivia, then suddenly said, “Daniel’s bristle has grown all over his chin. Olivia, can you help him shave it?”

Daniel knew Olivia was reluctant and probably held some grievances against him, so quickly said, “Grandma, I’ll handle it myself. Wife, you should eat something.”

Olivia took a bun and began to eat.

She then took a mirror from her bag, opened it, and handed it to Daniel, “You shave yourself. From this angle, you can see everything.”

“After drinking a small bowl of porridge and eating some rice, I feel that my energy has returned. Wife, I really can’t do without you. I need you by my side. Like a fish out of water, it might initially be able to jump around joyfully, but soon enough, it will run out of oxygen and die.”

Despite Daniel’s face being somewhat pale, his handsome features reflected his sincerity. His passionate gaze was unblinkingly fixed on Olivia.

Immediately, Mrs. Jenkins chimed in, “Couples fight at the head of the bed and reconcile at its foot! Olivia, I think Daniel is genuinely remorseful. It’s okay for you to vent your grievances. If you can’t eliminate the grudge in your heart, y’all should find time to talk about it properly. Life will always have its ups and downs, but smooth sailing is quite rare!”

Olivia did not want her grandmother to meddle in the matters between her and Daniel. Since she didn’t want to talk too much in front of her grandmother, she decided to appease her for the time being, “I understand, I’ll control my temper, and I’ll think seriously about it.”

Then, Mrs. Jenkins suddenly gave Daniel a serious look and said with grave emphasis, “You can’t bully Olivia either. You should talk to her nicely about everything. Negotiation is important. Honesty between a husband and wife is paramount. It’s fate that brought you two together, but whether you’ll last depends on your personal cultivation.”

Daniel’s eyes flickered slightly, “I understand, Grandma!”
