Chapter 54 A Pair Of Enemies
Chapter 54 A Pair Of Enemies
In the next few days, in addition to bringing food to Eric, Kevin stayed at the old house and read books. Sometimes, he talked with Dillon. Of course, he would prepare more meals for Eric every time he cooked.
Jane had made a joke on her several times, "I almost lose my job as long as you are with me."
Every time when they were talking about business, Kevin would smile and say, "you may lose your job for a few days. You can go back to work after that."
Just like today, Lily was busy preparing lunch in the kitchen. Because of the scars on her neck had almost subsided, she planned to go back to school tomorrow, so lunch was more rich than before. But she still insisted on cooking them by herself.
Therefore, Sunny had to stand still and watch her busy.
When she was cooking the last dish, Joe appeared at the door of the kitchen.
"My Lord." Sunny said politely and then she added with a smile, "Miss Lily is a capable woman. She did all of this on her own. I didn't help anything." Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Joe smiled with relief. "She has the character like her mother. She doesn't like others to interfere in when she is cooking."
Turning the vegetables in the pan quickly, Lily said to Sunny, "Sunny, in order to make you recover as soon as possible, you'd better take all these dishes out, in case your hands are unfamiliar when you come to cook tomorrow."
Shaking her head, Sunny laughed and said, "Miss Lily, you are getting better at making fun of others."
"I'm good for you."
Hearing the conversation between the two people, Joe smiled but said nothing. Then he turned around and walked to the living room.
Soon, the last dish was ok. Lily took off her apron and put the dishes on the table. Five dishes and one soup were already on the table.
"Grandpa, dinner is ready." After saying that, she turned around and went into the kitchen to take out a bigger heat preservation box, and then she began to put food into it.
Seeing her picking up the dishes, Joe looked up at her and knew that she had even figured out what Eric didn't like to eat.
Lily didn't sit down to eat until the dished was ready.
"Lily, from tomorrow on, I'll ask Daniel to send you to and from school." Joe said while eating.
Lily looked at him and said, "No, Grandpa. You need Daniel. I can go to school on my own."
"I don't often go to the company. How about I find a driver for you?"
Lily shook her head, thought for a moment and said, "I will go to school by myself when you go to the company. If you don't go to the company, I will ask Daniel to drive me."
Hearing her words, Joe didn't insist. This was a good idea.
After lunch, Lily carried the lunch box and asked Daniel to send her to the hospital.
When she arrived at the hospital, she went straight to Eric's ward. When she arrived at the ward door, she habitually looked inside through the glass on the door. As soon as she looked inside, she met Eric's eyes.
"Come in. Sherry and Terence are there." His voice came out from inside.
Lily opened the door and walked in.
"I was wondering why boss didn't rat with us. Someone sends food to him." Seeing that Lily was carrying a thermal container in her hand, Terence couldn't help but make some complaints.
Lily felt embarrassed, however, Eric glared at him and said, "You'd better keep your mouth shut."
"Boss, you've gone too far. I came here to see you with kindness, but you said something like that. After all, you're my best friend."
"He never thought you are his friend." These words were not said by Eric. It was said by Sherry, who sat cross legged and was eating an apple. She looked at Terence with disdain. "If you call my cousin your brother, his status will be lowered."
"You..." Terence was so angry that he couldn't speak. "Humph, I don't want to argue with you because you are a woman."
"Huh, you don't have the capable of squabbling." Sherry said, "In terms of IQ, you're no match for me. And in terms of fighting, you're no match for me either. So, tell me, why you can be angry with me?"
"I swear I never stand with you, Sherry!" Terence went ballistic, standing up and looking at her angrily.
After she slowly took a bite of the last apple, she threw the core into the trash can with precision. "I don't intend to stand with you at the same time."
"Enough, you two!" "Get out of here if you keep quarreling." Eric interrupted them and frowned.
Hearing her words, Terence became dispirited immediately. After casting a displeased glance at Sherry, he sat down again.
Casting a glance at her cousin, Sherry chose to shut up obediently.
Seeing this scene, Lily felt it laughable. They were all of the same age, but in front of him, they were just like children.
Opening the medical table, Lily put the insulation box apart, then picked up chopsticks and started feeding Eric.
"Why are there so many dishes today?" Asked Eric.
Lily picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth. Seeing that he had finished eating, she explained, "I'll go back to school tomorrow. I may not be able to send you lunch on time in the following days, so I cooked more today."
Hearing that, there was a flash of disappointment in Eric's eyes, but he did not show it too obviously. "Can you send it to me in the evening and weekend?"
Lily shook her head unconsciously. "I'm all right now. I'll go to the company with grandpa on weekends. I'll try to send at night."
"Okay." Just like her daughter-in-law, Eric complained.
"Why are you upset?" Lily put the food in his mouth and asked.
Eric ate the food on his lips and said, "No, I just felt that no one fed me. I had to find a nurse to feed me. It was strange that I didn't know anyone to feed me."
"Ahem!" The moment he finished speaking, he heard a cough.
"Boss Kaaahhkkk, kaaahhkkk, kaaahhkkk.... " Terence coughed so hard that his face turned red. He didn't expect that Eric could be good at telling lies without thinking!
In contrast to his excitement, Sherry was much calmer. She gave a glance at Eric indifferently and turned her head aside, trying not to laugh out loud.
"Go to see a doctor if you have a cold. Don't spread virus here." Eric said impolitely.
"No No need." Terence shook his head and looked at Eric plaintively. 'How scheming boss is! He clearly knows why I cough, but he pretends to care about me and let me go to see a doctor.'
And what did he mean by saying that it was strange to find someone unknown to feed? His hands were good. He didn't need anyone to feed him. He was obviously cheat Lily!
Lily had already been used to the way Eric treated Terence. She fed him while asking, "Didn't the doctor say that he would give you a check-up this morning? How about it?"
"Not bad." A touch of slyness flashed across his eyes.
"I want to know more details." Lily was a little unhappy with his perfunctory attitude.
Seeing this, Eric had to tell the truth, "My ribs are recovering well, the bandage on my chest has been removed, and the injury on my leg may need to be taken care of for a while. The doctor said that I can go home to recuperate a week later."
"Ok." "Uh huh." Lily replied. She didn't realize what Eric meant and continued to feed him.
Eric thought that she would throw the chopsticks here and let him eat by himself. When he saw that she did not do this, a faint smile appeared on his lips.
Seeing that they two had dinner together, Terence felt goosebumps all over. He used to think that the boss had a crush on the woman. Now it seemed that it was not that simple. He just wanted marry Lily!
If it was not because of the age, he would have taken her back a long time ago.
Holding a stool, Terence walked to the table and sat down next to Sherry. In a low voice, Terence asked, "Why do I feel that Lily seems to be going to be your sister-in-law?"
"Oh, you finally realize that. You are so stupid." There was a dislike in her tone. When her cousin asked her for help last time, she could tell that he was not a fool until now. He almost followed her everyday?
Instead of getting angry because of her words, Terence said, "But they are so young, do you think their family will be against it and separate them?"
"You think too much."
"Well, think about it. They are both underage and students. Whether it is parents or teachers, they will certainly oppose it. If they don't agree at that time, it will be very painful to force them apart."
"You must have watched many plays, didn't you?" Sherry felt impatient, "No, they won't. They are not stupid." Don't you know that there is an underground relationship? After two years, they can be together openly? Why are you so stupid?"
The opponents on the other side were discussing in a low voice, while Eric had finished his dinner with the help of Lily.
"Have you two finished whispering?" The sudden voice of Eric frightened Terence into silence. On the contrary, Sherry indifferently turned her head to look at him, "Ok."
"Go back as soon as finished." There was always a buzz around his ears during the dinner, and it was unpleasant to hear. It was impossible to enjoy the peace that belonged to the two people at all.
"All right." Sherry stood up and said, "Then I'll go now. Eric, don't miss me too much."
"Tell aunt when you go back and tell her that I'm fine, so that she doesn't need to worry about me," said Eric, with his mouth twitched unconsciously.
"I promise to fulfill the task arranged by cousin." She made a salute mischievously and then went out of the ward.
Seeing this, Terence also stood up and said, "Boss, I'm leaving now. If you have anything, call me." Then he disappeared at the door.
"I think they are all very cute." Lily had packed the dinner table and lunch boxes.
"Ever since the day they first knew each other, Sherry has always been at the advantage in arguing," said Eric.
"That means they are free and real, unlike us, who are just fighting in life."
A bitter smile appeared on Eric's face when he heard what she said. It was true that they lived happily and comfortable, but no matter how he didn't want to get involved in the family affairs, he was dragged into this.
