Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 90

As expected, as soon as she laid down, Kenneth pushed the door open. He took a glance at her as he walked towards the bedside. Then, he unfolded the folding table of the hospital bed and placed the lunch box on top on it.

The steaming aroma of the dishes filled the room.

Rachel quietly watched his slow and devoted movements, which made her think of the previous time when he accompanied her in the hospital. They hadn’t divorced, and he took care of her like this too. However, there was still a slight difference between these two times.

“Why are you in a daze? Aren’t you hungry?” Kenneth handed her the chopsticks, and his gentle voice interrupted her thoughts.

“Oh, thank you.” Rachel took the chopsticks and her gaze was fixed on the dishes placed in front of her. It was a meal containing meat, vegetables and a serving of soup.

She looked around the dishes and bit her lower lip, yet she raised her head and asked, “Have you eaten?”

“You eat first. I’ll go downstairs and eat later.” Kenneth smiled and he stretched out his hand to brush the hair that was on her cheek to the back of her ear.

Rachel’s ear turned red. She lowered her head to eat and said coldly, “It’s too much. I can’t finish it on my own. There are extra chopsticks here, let’s eat together.”

“...Okay.”

“...”

Rachel thought he would refuse. She didn’t expect that he would agree so easily. She immediately choked on the food, and her face turned blue. Once again, she felt as though she had been schemed by him.

Actually, she didn't have any appetite. The purpose of asking him to get food earlier was just to drive him away.

Rachel wasn’t feeling well. She even felt like vomiting when she looked at the meat, but she didn’t want to shoot herself in the foot, so she endured her urge to vomit.

Kenneth sat by the bedside and ate with her. He was eating steadily, without making any sound.

Rachel knew that he was the quietest whenever he ate. He didn’t like to talk while eating.

The two of them sat really close and since it was too quiet, they could hear each other’s breath. Kenneth’s body fragrance and the aroma of the dishes filled her nose, which made Rachel’s heart pound. She felt as if they had returned to the life before their divorce.

Seeing that she lowered her head and only ate rice, Kenneth took a piece of meat and put it in her bowl. He muttered, “Eat some meat.”

Rachel stared at the meat for a few seconds, but she still mixed it with a mouthful of rice and stuffed it into her mouth. Her mouth was too full that she suddenly choked on the food.

“Cough, cough...”

Kenneth immediately put down his chopsticks. He stretched out his hand and patted her back as he frowned, asking, “Choking on the food that you eat, are you still a child?”

“Drink this soup.”

Rachel’s face flushed. She managed to swallow the food down her throat and coughed twice. Then, she quickly took a large sip of the soup in his hand.

She swallowed the food in her mouth, and her eyes widened suddenly, “What soup is this?”

“Bone soup.”

“...”

Rachel felt sick with a surge in her stomach. She suddenly pushed him away and rushed out.

“...”

Kenneth felt his nerves tightening, and his charming face seemed a little anxious. He quickly chased after her with his long legs.
