After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 901

Maria sat on the side, watching him with a faint smile.

Sidney couldn’t reveal his true feelings just yet.

He hesitated before saying, "I've already eaten."

Ruth’s expression became more complicated upon hearing this. "But there's so much food. It’d be such a waste to throw it away."

Maria chuckled and said, "Ma'am, it's my fault for not considering your health. It really would be a waste to throw the food away, so I'll just take it home with me."

Ruth gave a helpless smile. "Sidney worries too much about me. I'm already this old; what’s wrong with eating something good? Frankly, how many more days do I even have left to enjoy it?"

Sidney immediately frowned. "Mom, don’t say that."

"Alright, alright, I know," Ruth quickly responded, noticing he was about to get upset.

Sidney placed the light dishes on the small table and watched his mother eat.

Maria watched him with interest, her gaze circling around Sidney as if she was amused by something.

"Ma'am, it’s getting late. I’ll head home for now. I’ll come visit you again soon," Maria said after Ruth finished eating.

Ruth nodded, then turned to Sidney. "Sidney, see Miss Maria out."

"Alright." Sidney picked up the trash bag, silently following Maria out of the hospital room.

He threw the bag into the trash can, not sparing Maria a glance, and turned to head back to the room.

"Sidney," Maria called after him.
