These foods were all her favorite!
For a moment, Kate had mixed emotions in her heart. She just felt overwhelmed and touched by Wisdom's gesture.
This man!
She sat down with a smile and then began to eat.
The food was surprisingly delicious.
She felt that she probably had gone crazy.
Now that she was trapped here, she was still considered a hostage, right?
But why did she feel so happy and warm?
Kate couldn't help glancing in the direction of the bathroom. Then, she smiled again and ate quietly.
Wisdom took a cold shower to calm himself down.
When he walked out of the bathroom, Kate had almost finished eating.
She couldn't help but feel a little out of control when she saw Wisdom's hair, which had not yet dried and was dripping with water.
"I've eaten a little. Hurry up and join me or the food will get cold soon."
She quickly changed the topic.
"Okay."
Wisdom remained largely unresponsive. He had no idea how appealing he currently was. He rushed to the table and took a bite while staring at Kate. She had saved him a huge portion of food.
Wisdom would never eat the leftover food from others in the past. However, he felt unbothered this time. He sat down comfortably and took a bite with his chopsticks.
Kate intended to declare that the chopsticks were hers, but before she could say that, Wisdom had already used them. Seeing this, her cheeks were flushed.
Kate was so excited after lunch. She tried to calm herself down by looking elsewhere. Then, she couldn't help but pull Wisdom's sleeve when she discovered Megan had been kidnapped.
Wisdom glanced at her and said lightly, "They wouldn't dare to do anything to Megan."
He said these words casually, but Kate was slightly troubled by it.
"Do you care about her very much?"
"Who?"
Wisdom was a little distracted.
Kate pouted, and she was obviously trying to convey what she felt.
Wisdom said casually, "I guess so."
What kind of answer was that?
She wanted to ask a lot of questions about it, but it wasn't the right time. Although Wisdom thought that there was no monitoring devices in place, they remained vigilant since they were in unfamiliar territory.
She immediately kept quiet and didn't say anything else.
Wisdom gathered the utensils after he finished eating. He gave Kate a sidelong glance and continued, "Go have some rest. Denzel's condition is still unstable and one of us ought to be there to assist."
To be honest, everyone would be exhausted after such a major procedure. Kate was truly touched when Wisdom urged her to take a break first.
"I can still hang on, so why don't you sleep for a while? Their main target is you. Anyway, I will go check up on the child in case there's something wrong. I'm just afraid those people will make things difficult for you later."
"It's fine. Go to sleep. I'll keep an eye on them. I believe they won't mess around, and you'll be able to sleep more soundly."
So that was what he meant?
Kate looked at Wisdom and wanted to say something, but she really couldn't hold on anymore. Soon, she went to her bed and lay down.
She was exhausted and fell asleep nearly immediately after lying on the bed.
Meanwhile, there was a trace of heartache in Wisdom's eyes upon seeing her.
The situation in the manor was temporarily calm after Denzel's operation, and no one dared to act rashly. Wisdom, on the other hand, knew what would happen soon.
Although he wasn't worried as he was well-prepared, there were still some concerns he had.
