Chapter 646: Daniel Marshall Changes

“Alright, I won’t interfere in your matters anymore.”

After a pause, Martin Wallace continued, “Should we inform Adam Howard? He’s quite worried about you, we all just want you to get better.”

Daniel Marshall felt a rush of clarity and quickly said, “You let him know, save him the guessing. And remind him to not bother my wife, we’ll handle this.”

“Understood.”

“Also, don’t worry about my health. I had some porridge today without throwing up afterwards. I had an IV drip as well, and so far I’m just running a low fever. The doctor said these are signs of improvement.”

“That’s great to hear, I believe you’ll be discharged soon. It’s getting late, I’ll go confer with the psychologist now, we’ll meet again tonight to talk.”

Daniel’s eyes softened, a small smile tugged at his lips, his entire demeanor seemed entirely changed. “Thank you, Martin. I appreciate it, I really do.”

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room lightened.

A smile formed on Martin’s face as well, “We’re brothers, no need for such politeness. Once you’re discharged, treat me to a meal.”

A shallow smile spread across Daniel’s face, casting a radiant glow that made him look less pale than before.

Confronting his problems head on, Daniel felt somewhat relieved.

Once Martin left, Simon Howard, who had just brought back dumplings, came into the ward.

Porridge in the morning, porridge again for lunch, Simon decided to switch it up for dinner. This way, the food would hopefully be less boring and more appetizing.

Simon was setting the table and about to open the thermos when he heard an unbelievable sound.

For a moment, Simon froze as if time had stopped.

Assuming Simon hadn’t heard him, Daniel spoke again in a low voice, “I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have lashed out at you, I know you meant well.”

It took a few seconds for Simon to come back to reality, he looked up at Daniel, “I was wrong too, I was being too presumptuous. Daniel, we’re having dumplings tonight, with a side of hand-pulled noodles. I asked the restaurant to use less oil, it won’t be greasy and shouldn’t upset your stomach.”

“Thank you! It smells great, I’m sure it’s delicious.”

Simon fixed his gaze on Daniel without blinking.

It felt like Daniel was an entirely changed man, his gentleness was stunning.

Daniel gave a small smile, picked up his chopsticks, and carefully took a bite of the noodles, “This tastes good!”

“It’s made with pork bone broth and a bit of green onion.”

Daniel nodded slightly, then continued eating the noodles. After a while, he ate some of the dumplings.

Tonight, his appetite was much better, the feeling of wanting to vomit was gone, and the light pork bone soup was delicious.

Seeing Daniel enjoy his meal, seemingly getting better bit by bit, Simon felt quite relieved and a slight smile formed on his lips.

After the film crew finished for the day, Olivia Jenkins, Valerie Howard, and Miss Winter, went to eat lamb chops.

Coincidently, they ran into Benjamin Johnson at the restaurant.

Benjamin Johnson generously invited them, “Just served, lamb soup. Have some with me, it’s quite cold in Serene City in February, especially in the evening. This will warm you up. Also, these freshly served lamb chops are too much for me alone, I was thinking of packing them up!”

They were all just friends, nothing to hide or be ashamed of, and she wasn’t alone either, so Olivia Jenkins took a seat next to Benjamin Johnson.

Valerie Howard and Miss Winter also sat down.

They’ve been busy until now and were pretty hungry.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Olivia joked, “Don’t mind our eating manners, we’re starving like we haven’t eaten in years.”
