"This is the first time you've defended me. I'm over the moon," Jared leaned on the head of the bed and said.
Amber blinked as she lowered her eyelids. "You saved me, so I naturally should defend you, or I will be an ingrate."
"Just for this?" Jared looked at Amber.
Amber got nervous and her face flushed. "Then for what else?"
Jared didn't say anything but stared at her.
It was a while before he said, "I'm very satisfied now. Well, let's eat breakfast."
Jared pointed to box at the foot of the bed.
The caregiver bought them here early in the morning.
Amber turned her head. With a nod, she walked over and opened the box.
She divided the breakfast into two portions, one for Jared and the other for herself.
Amber ignored her breakfast. She picked up Jared's, sat down at the bedside, ready to feed him like last night.
To her surprise, Jared refused. He gently stopped the spoon. "After you."
"What's the difference?" Amber asked suspiciously.
Jared said, "I don't want you to starve."
Hearing this, Amber got mixed feelings in her eyes.
She gripped the spoon and said, "I'm okay, and I'm not very hungry. You're the patient, so I can eat after you."
"I'm a man. Lady first." Jared explained.
Amber tilted her head and looked at him in confusion.
What does eating breakfast have to do with gender?
Seeing the confusion in Amber's eyes, Jared smiled. "I mean, I'm a patient, but I'm also a man. As a man, I should eat after you."
Words failed Amber.
She was about to say something else when Jared cut her off, "After you!"
His tone was firm.
Amber opened her mouth, but she finally agreed. "Okay."
She put the spoon and the bowl and began to eat her breakfast.
However, Amber did not intend to finish it. After taking a little, she put the bowl down and held Jared's bowl again.
When Jared saw this, he raised his eyebrows. "What do you..."
Amber scooped up a spoonful of porridge and handed it to his lips, "We can take turns and eat together. What a good idea!"
Jared froze for a moment. He didn't expect her to come up with this.
For a moment, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "It's a good idea, but do you think it is troublesome?"
"If so, I wouldn't have come to take care of you. Well, open your mouth," Amber ordered with a smile.
Jared opened his mouth at once.
In this way, they spent nearly twenty minutes finishing breakfast.
Amber had never spent so much time on breakfast.
But somehow, she did not feel tired but a little sweet.
How strange!
It was just porridge.
Amber thought she must be crazy.
Thinking of this, Amber shook her head.
Seeing this, Jared asked with a tone of concern. "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?"
"No." Amber hurriedly stopped shaking her head and replied.
Jared was still worried. "Did you not sleep well last night?"
