A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 1597

Larry was working on his phone as he stood behind the door. He had been using his phone to read the reports that his assistant sent and would deal with certain matters when needed.

Just then, a nurse with a cart walked over.

“Hi Denise, are you here to deliver the meal?” asked Larry with a smile.

As requested by Larry, the hospital specially assigned Denise to take care of Joan's diet. Naturally, that cost extra.

“That's right, Mr. Norton.”

Denise didn't look at Larry, and she sounded a little off when she said, “I, uh, I better head in now, Mr. Norton.”

“Okay, Denise. Thank you,” replied Larry politely before asking, “Denise, are you troubled? Or are you in a bad mood or something? How about I take over for you?”

Larry suggested sweetly when he saw how distracted Denise was.

He could help take care of Joan anyway, and it was right for him to take over if Denise was burdened.

“No, no. It's fine. I can do it. You don't need to worry at all, Mr. Norton,” replied Denise quickly as if she didn't want to trouble Larry.

Larry didn't push when he saw how reluctant she was. The two of them weren't close anyway, and they only knew each other on a professional level.

Denise pushed the cart into Joan's room.

“Hey Denise, you're here,” greeted Joan politely when she saw Denise there.

“Yeah, Ms. Watts. It's time for lunch,” replied Denise with a skin-deep grin on, “This is what the hospital prepared today. Here, let me feed you.

“Wow, everything looks good today.”

Joan was grinning like a kid. She never noticed anything off with Denise and was simply happy to see the delicious meal.

Larry entered the room just then.

“Why are you so happy over a meal? It's as if you've been starving,” teased Larry lovingly.

Joan ignored him and picked up her cutleries to chow down.

“Ms. Watts, wait,” interrupted Denise suddenly.
