Saturday morning.
Early that morning, after cooking some nutritious broth, Janet delivered it to the hospital.
She had become just like a supervisor, making sure that Ethan ate on time every single day.
When Frank came to visit Ethan, he even joked that he had never seen anyone gain so much weight after being hospitalized.
Once Janet was finished feeding Ethan, she started cleaning up the table. She tied her long hair into a ponytail, revealing her neckline. She looked particularly charming at this moment.
Ethan's Adam's apple bobbed up and down as he grabbed her wrist.
His entire body was bandaged, so only his hands could move.
"Do your wounds hurt?" Janet asked worriedly.
Ethan stroked her fingers gently. If he had more strength right now, he'd pull her into his arms and kiss her passionately.
Janet had no idea just how attractive she was to him right now.
"Come here," Ethan said, restraining his urges.
Janet's eyes widened in confusion but she still leaned over, obeying his command.
Just then, they heard a knock coming from the door.
Ethan glanced at the door, frowning at the sight of Patrick. The man was donned in a suit, followed by his assistant. The latter was carrying several gifts in hand.
Upon seeing him, Ethan scowled. "Mr. Lester, don't you think it's rude to barge into my room without my permission?"
Patrick beckoned his assistant to put the gifts on the table. With his hands behind his back, he said in a heavy nasal voice, "Ethan, is that how you're supposed to speak to your father?"
Patrick appeared to be serious, but in truth, he felt proud to see the man his son had grown to become. It was apparent that Ethan had become tougher, stronger than before, and his tone was just as imposing as Patrick back when he was younger.
