Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 113

“Not well.” I shook my head whilst pulling a morose expression.

Christopher panicked. He touched my forehead and examined the wounds on my arm. “Does it hurt? I’ll get the doctor.”

“Don’t leave!” I hurriedly called after him as I rubbed my belly pitifully. “I’m so hungry. I’m craving a big slab of meat.”

Christopher stood frozen for a couple of seconds before bursting into laughter. “Little scamp! You gave me quite the fright,” he said as he felt my forehead to ascertain that I was feeling better.

As he spoke, he took out a lunchbox from the counter and offered it to me as if he was bearing gifts to royalty. A delicious scent of chicken soup met my nose as I opened it. “Eat up! Good thing I had prepared this in advance.”

Christopher did not hand me a spoon. Instead, he tried to feed me. I had taken merely a sip before raising my hand to stop him. “It is my left arm that is hurt, not my right. I can feed myself.”

“I would like to feed you!” He did not relinquish the spoon, but brought another spoonful of soup to my lips, looking rather serious. I decided to cooperate by opening wide and letting him feed me. I woke up starving because I had the champagne on an empty stomach during the party.

The container of delicious soup was soon emptied one spoonful at a time. Glancing out of the window, I deduced that it was the middle of the night; everybody would have been asleep. The fact that Christopher was watching over me at this time at night showed just how much he was worried about me.

It was very reassuring to gaze upon him as soon as I woke up.

Christopher held me tightly. “Do not harm yourself ever again, do you understand?” he chastised, suddenly stern.

I understood that he spoke in this manner out of concern for me. Nodding obediently, I replied. “I will only eat and drink what you give me, that way I would never be drugged again.”

“I did not protect you well enough,” Christopher lamented with a sigh. “No matter what it is, contact me at once whenever you need help.”
