Chapter 275 Grabbing Pizza
Ryan still couldn’t wrap his head around it. To think he had asked for Wynter’s help in finding Ms. Quinnell, only for her to be the person he had been looking for all along. Ryan couldn’t help cringing in
embarrassment at the recollection.
Wynter behaved as she usually did. When she saw Ryan, she said, ” Hey, Ryan.”
He choked and burst into a coughing fit, feeling awkward. His
reaction caused Wynter to raise a brow.
Regaining his composure, Ryan attempted to offer a courteous smile. However, it came off as more of a grimace. “Uh, would you mind if we talked privately?”
“I have a feeling I know what you’re going to tell me, Ryan, but can it wait?” A nonchalant laugh escaped Wynter as she explained, “I’d like to grab some pizza with the Quinnells’ distant relative first.”
Performing surgery was hard work, and Wynter was starving after she had worked off the medicated noodles earlier. She also needed some
time to think about her identity.
Ryan nearly pointed out that Dalton was not the Quinnell family’s distant relative, but he dared not do so in front of him.
More importantly, he wondered what Wynter had meant when she said she knew what he was going to tell her. Could it be that she had already guessed the truth?
Ryan’s eyes widened as he considered this. But in the absence of
proper confirmation, he simply told her, “Mr. Quinnell Senior is on his way here.”
“Got it,” Wynter answered with a smile. “Do you want to join us, Ryan? Your body can’t function without regular meals, you know.”
She didn’t behave differently than usual. Even if she did figure out that she was a daughter of the Quinnell family, she didn’t seem to let that get in the way of her friendship with Ryan.
Ryan was touched by her gesture. He understood she was being considerate of him. Patting his stomach, he chuckled and said, “No,
thanks. I’m not hungry. Go and have your pizza.”
“All right, then. I’ll get a slice for you,” she offered. A pause later, she added, “The guy who’s in surgery right now is resilient. The anesthesia
will wear off in a bit.
“When it does, keep him on a plain diet and nothing else. His body
might resist solid food after going so long without it.”
Ryan nodded, making a mental note of what she had just told him
Wynter was incredibly perceptive. She knew what he was about to sa
and what might be bugging him.
He understood she was doing all this to keep him from feeling
awkward.
He let out a breath. If the Quinnells, his employers, were still skeptical of Wynter’s identity, then he wouldn’t hesitate to take care of her as if
