Vivian didn't know how to answer, and could only smile awkwardly.
She had already rejected Holden's feelings early on and believed he had long forgotten about her. It's just that with this sudden chance encounter, Vivian didn't know where to put him.
Knowing Vivian's mind, Holden is also more proactive and tries not to make her feel awkward.
Holden chatted with Vivian while bringing up the congee, "The doctor said you just recovered from a serious illness, you should eat something light, so I bought some congee outside, you can just eat some first."
If this porridge is still specially cooked by Holden, the burden in Vivian's heart is even heavier. But if this was just something he bought at a small store in the neighborhood, she wouldn't feel too weird in her heart.
"I'm so sorry for bothering you to bring me to the hospital and bothering you to buy my food."
Vivian smiled shyly, she didn't know how to repay Holden, they obviously just had a comical blind date and he could treat her like that.
"Aren't we friends?" Holden smiled gently, "It's right for friends to help each other out, especially when it's out in the open."
Vivian did not answer, just smiled and nodded.
She was embarrassed to say that after that separation, she didn't even think they would have the chance to meet again.
Holden once again brought the congee to Vivian, he said gently, "It's better to eat it while it's hot, it's not good for your stomach if it gets cold."
Vivian nodded and took the bowl from Holden and slowly ate it one bite at a time.
"You are also coming over on a business trip, will accompanying me in the hospital delay you? I can do it alone, you don't have to worry, there is nothing serious wrong now, I can do it alone.
Vivian is really embarrassed to bother others so much, but she also knows that people are well-intentioned, and it is not good to say anything.
Holden did not answer directly, but checked Vivian's suspension before saying, "Things have been handled almost, and although you did not return my message before, but what I said is true."
Holden looked at Vivian with a serious face, he continued, "Although now in the hospital room, it is a bit inappropriate to say that, but I want to tell you that I am serious about what I said. I didn't go to you because there was something going on in the company before, but now that things have been taken care of, I hope I can let you slowly get to know me and slowly believe what I'm saying."
Vivian awkwardly stopped drinking the porridge, she did not know how to politely refuse better. Holden is good people, she did not want to delay others.
The reason is that she knows that Hanley is a thorn in her heart, and even if she pulls it out, there will be traces of it. Holden deserves better, and she doesn't want to hold up someone else's life.
Vivian thought for a while, she finally thought of how to speak, Holden but interrupted her.
"Vivian, I can call you that, right?"
Vivian nodded, "Naturally!"
