Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 282

It would seem discourteous on my part if I continued to insist on seeing Christopher, so I finally nodded in assent. After all, this is Christopher’s big brother, I couldn’t pester him like I did Christopher. I also realized that Darius was the first in-law I had met since Christopher and I got married.

I did not expect to meet one of Christopher’s family members again as an in-law in this kind of situation.

“Would you like to eat something?” Darius asked, concern in his tone.

At the mention of food, I realized I was starving, after all. I had only had scrapes to eat on the deserted island. It was nothing short of a miracle that I had survived. Now that I was nice and warm, I felt like I could stuff all my favorite food into my stomach in one go.

However, I was informed that my body was too fragile to withstand any greasy food, so I was given some chicken soup instead. Moreover, Darius reminded me to have it slowly and in small bites so as not to over-burden my digestive system. I almost burst into tears when I held the warm soup in my hands. At that moment, I was so thankful just to be alive.

When someone tried to feed me the soup, it suddenly occurred to me that my surroundings were still pitch dark. “Why don’t you guys switch on the lights in the room? How are you able to see the soup clearly?”

The room fell into an awkward silence following my question. After a long pause, I sensed that Darius was standing next to me as I could almost feel his warm breath on my face. Feeling embarrassed, I asked, “Is there a blackout?”

“Er… Yes. Why don’t you get started with the soup? I’ve already sent someone to get some candles. Go easy with the hot soup,” Darius spoke with an uneasy tone as though he was trying hard to suppress something.

As I slowly sipped the soup, I had never felt happier in my life. Once I finished everything, Darius summoned a few doctors to check on me. He asked me to close my eyes, and I did as I was told. Then, a doctor gently pried open my eyes to evaluate their condition.

After a while, the group of doctors left my room. They stopped at the door to discuss matters among themselves. I tried but failed to get any of their attention regarding my condition. Not long after that, Darius came back to the room and fetched me a glass of water.

As I sipped on the water, I heard some children making noises from outside my room, followed by an adult’s voice, “Slow down, or you’re going to fall on the slippery floor.”
