Momentarily dazed, Ken said, "Didn't I tell you it was Miss Robbins' mom who made the soup?"
"You... only told me her mom made... the chicken soup," Chester said arduously.
Only then did Ken realize that he had forgotten to tell Chester about it after that.
After Shaun saw Michael and his wife out, he looked at his buddy's face. He could not help but tease Chester, "Does the soup cooked by Eliza's mom taste better?"
Chester pursed his pale lips without saying a word.
In fact, it had been a long time since he last had pumpkin soup.
He used to love pumpkin soup. During the years he was in a relationship with Charity, he had it very frequently, but he had not had it as much as before in the last few years.
It was impossible for Eliza's mother to make him the soup for no reason. It was most probably because Charity reminded her.
He never thought Charity would still remember it.
Chester's dark eyes softened in spite of himself.
Upon noticing Chester's expression, Shaun had difficulty putting his feelings into words. "I don’t even think I understand you now, let alone your parents. Of course, I must first praise you for saving someone. Having said that, you put yourself in this state, and you won't be able to walk like a normal person anymore. Let's not talk about whether this act is worthwhile, but it was untypical of you to do such a thing."
If the Chester he knew woke up and realized that he ended up in this state for the sake of saving a woman, he was sure to hate that woman to the core.
"Tell me... What did I do?" Chester asked strenuously.
"You’re not the kind who'll do anything at all costs for the sake of love. You’re a rational person.” Shaun sighed. If it were not because of his trust in his wife, he would suspect that Eliza had bewitched Chester.
"I'm very rational." Chester smiled vaguely and added intermittently, "It’s just... a leg, isn't it? I... don't care if I can't walk."
Shaun opened his mouth but could not say a word for a while.
"You don't understand... certain things."
Chester's pale, handsome face was very calm.
