Love’s New Bloom By Simone Hastings Chapter 97
Chapter 97 Only a Lover When Kyle arrived at the hospital with the meal, it was already past five in the afternoon. Wearing her patient gown, Erin walked over to the couch and sat down. Chandler had already opened all the meal boxes Kyle brought. The coffee table was filled with Erin’s favorite dishes. They were all packed neatly in exquisite mini containers. Tears sprung to Erin’s eyes when she saw that. Choking with emotion, she said, “These are all the dishes I love…” An unusual tenderness flashed across Chandler’s eyes as he gently brushed her long hair. “I wanted to cook for you myself, but now that you’re hospitalized, I had Kyle search for all the dishes you love in the city…” Before he could finish his sentence, Erin, deeply moved, threw herself into his embrace and sobbed softly. She never expected. him to be so attentive. She never anticipated such meticulous preparations made just for her. The best way to win over a foodie was to treat her to all her favorite dishes. Erin’s heart was captured by this table filled to the brim. Chuckling softly, Chandler took the napkin from Kyle’s hand and wiped away her tears. “Silly girl, you refused the thirty million I offered back then because you thought it was too little, but now you’re moved to tears only by a table full of food. Erin, you are such a foolish and naive foodie.” She took the napkin and wiped away her tears while pouting. “You’re the foodie…” “Stop crying. Let’s eat together.” “Okay!” With tears still brimming in her eyes, Erin looked utterly adorable. Unexpectedly, Chandler was captivated for a moment, and his icy heart softened ever so slightly. Erin impatiently grabbed the utensils and stuffed her mouth with food. It didn’t take long before her cheeks bulged out as if she was a squirrel. Chandler helplessly said, “Slow down. You’re going to upset your stomach! Nobody’s going to take your food away.” Erin giggled mischievously and continued to devour her food. Throughout the entire time, Kyle stood by, witnessing firsthand as Erin, the power–eater, consumed a portion of food that could satisfy three grown men. Astonished, he furrowed his brows. Did Erin have three stomachs? Yet Erin, whose eyes were sparkling with delight, was not yet satisfied. As she reached her fork toward a piece of prawn, a large hand swiftly and accurately snatched her utensil away. Ignoring Erin, Chandler had finally reached his limit and exclaimed, “Kyle, take away all the food!” Erin grew anxious and protested, “Don’t take it away. I haven’t finished eating!” “Erin, I did everything to save you, and now you’re going to eat yourself to death. That’s unfair to me.” Chandler’s expression turned icy. He had expected her to control herself after getting her fill, but clearly, he had underestimated Erin’s appetite! Kyle had already started silently packing the meal boxes, thinking to himself that if Chandler didn’t intervene, he would have to step in and take things into his own hands. Chandler firmly grabbed Erin’s hand and said, “Let’s go. We’re going to take a walk in the park now!” Forcefully, Chandler pulled her along, disregarding the fact that she was still in her slippers. As they walked, Erin turned back to glance at the uneaten dishes, her eyes filled with a deep sense of anguish. He forcibly turned her head back and coldly warned, “If you keep acting like this, I’m going to get angry.” 1/3 Reluctantly, Erin lowered her head and followed him. Five minutes later, they arrived at a small park within the hospital grounds exclusively reserved for VIP patients. While Erin was still unconscious, Chandler had a helicopter transfer her to the city’s best hospital, the Liberty General Hospital. Chandler held her in his arms as they sat on a white wooden bench surrounded by a bed of roses. Erin was immediately. captivated by the beautiful scenery and gradually forgot the delicious food from earlier. However, not long after, Erin held her stomach in discomfort. “What’s wrong? Do you have a stomach ache?” Chandler asked. Erin blushed and nodded as Chandler looked at her helplessly. He reached out to massage her stomach. “You really deserve a good scolding. You’re all grown up, yet you act like a child…” Erin whispered, “The food was just too good…” Chandler gently flicked her nose. “You’re just a little pig.” Erin noticed the fondness in Chandler’s eyes. She felt a sense of panic in her heart, and her eyes began to well up with tears. “Why are you crying again?” His soothing voice made Erin melt in his embrace. His strikingly handsome face under the moonlight set her heart ablaze. She could feel her heart pounding in her ribcage, and for the first time, she felt an inexplicable sense of fear. Suddenly, Erin wondered if she would ever be able to love another man if she lost him. Love… She said, “Chandler, don’t be too nice to me. I’m afraid I won’t be able to let go when we have to part ways.” His hand continued to massage her stomach, and he fell silent at her words. Of course, he understood the implications of what she said. […]
