Chapter 1414
Vermont put on a fake smile. “You’re too thoughtful. It’s dangerous for a girl like you to come out so late at night.”
Felicity replied, “Don’t worry, Stella dropped me off here. She went to send Keegan supper, too. She’ll pick me up after she’s done.”
Vermont was speechless. He gritted his teeth while continuing to fake his smile. “She’s really helpful.”
Felicity said, “Stella treated me really well. She purposely consulted a doctor before helping me make this soup.” She paused briefly before continuing, “She said that it significantly affects Keegan. You’ve been having it for a week now. Do you feel anything?
“I’ve been wanting to ask you about it, but you’d run off every time you finish it, and I don’t get a chance to do that at all. Stella said that something should be happening after a week of drinking it. Otherwise, she suggests we go to the hospital for a comprehensive checkup.”
Vermont said inwardly, ‘You’ll see it happening with your naked eye if I didn’t run off.’
“I’m talking to you.” Felicity nudged him.
Vermont had no choice but to lie, “It kind of works, I guess. I’d feel warmer after drinking it.”
“Is that all? Nothing else?”
Vermont shook his head. “Nope.”
Felicity furrowed her brows, looking very concerned.
Vermont added, “Alternative medicine varies from person to person anyway. What works for others might not work for me.”
He intended to tell Felicity that the soup was not working and that she should stop making it for him.
However, she took it the wrong way as she nodded and said, “That makes sense. I’ll get the doctor’s number from Stella later and take you there for a more accurate diagnosis.”
Vermont was at a loss for words.
Felicity was not done yet. She added, “This soup is working since you said you feel warm after drinking it. Let’s not waste it. I’ll pour it out for you.”
Vermont did not say anything. He looked at the soup being offered to him. However, he had no choice but to go along with it.
