Hansel endured the lecture for a few seconds before hanging up abruptly. Then, he switched his phone to flight mode. Finally, he had some peace and quiet.
Once he got home, he felt less agitated and let out a long breath. As he was about to go upstairs, he changed his mind and found himself turning toward the kitchen.
He noticed the kitchen utensils were spotless and neatly arranged in rows in the kitchen. Memories of Miranda bustling in and out of the
kitchen resurfaced in his mind.
Making cream of vegetable soup took a lot of time. She had to prepare, clean, and soak the ingredients the night before. The ingredients would’ve softened by the next morning. Then, she’d cook them.
Hansel used to think it was too much trouble and had told her not to
bother making it. However, there would always be a steaming bowl of soothing soup waiting for him on the table when he returned home from work the next day.
Eventually, he’d stopped protesting. He’d taken it for granted, enjoying the delicious food and care she showered on him.
While Hansel was lost in thought, he heard the front door open suddenly. “Mr. Johnson?”
Evelyn had sent Martha over.
She’d been at a loss regarding her stubborn son after he’d run out of the hospital. She’d been worried that he might have an accident at home, so she’d instructed Martha to go over and look after him.
Hansel instructed Martha before heading upstairs, “Martha, make me some pumpkin soup.”

Martha was left speechless. Pumpkin soup again? When would Miranda return? Making her cream of vegetable soup–which Hansel kept referring to as pumpkin soup–was such a tiring chore…
Despite her complaints, she put on an apron and started making soup in the kitchen. Once the soup was ready, she took it upstairs. But she found that Hansel was already fast asleep in bed.
His face still looked pale. His brow was furrowed tightly, even in his sleep. Martha gently placed the soup down, tidied up the kitchen, and left the house quietly.
