Chapter 97
Owen’s body suddenly stiffened. He quickly turned around. At the door of the ward, a tall man was looking at him with his arms crossed and his eyes full of banter. “Cough, cough…” Owen gave a light cough. “I suddenly remembered. There are still patients waiting for me over there. I, I, I, I am busy!” After that, regardless of Beau’s expression, Owen got up and strode away from Beau. “Alas…” Eliza raised her hand, but before she could say a word, Owen had disappeared completely in her sight. “What, you can’t bear to part with him?” Seeing Eliza’s expression, Beau raised his hand indifferently and closed the room door. After a “bang”, there were only Eliza and Beau left in the closed room. He gracefully paced to her and sat down on a chair at the side. He gently opened the lunch box for her and then handed her a spoon. Eliza took the spoon and said, “Thank you.” After that, she lowered her head and ate the porridge carefully. “I know Owen’s words were all nonsense. I won’t take it seriously.” Beau’s voice was low with a hint of amusement. “He wasn’t completely lying.” Eliza was stunned as she looked at him. His deep and bottomless eyes were smiling faintly. “Why are you looking at me like that?” Eliza’s face turned red. She quickly lowered her head and continued eating her porrdige. Beau narrowed his eyes.

He could feel that she was very restrained.
“Eliza.”
She silently agreed and continued to seriously eat the porridge. “Did Jory come?” She nodded silently. “Your fiancée is here too.” “Fiancée?” Beau frowned slightly. After a long while, he remembered that she was talking about Lucija. He raised his hand and grabbed her bowl. “I’ll feed you.” Seeing him put the spoon to her mouth, Eliza felt a little uneasy. “I can do it myself.” “It’s not like I’ve never fed you before.” He shook his head helplessly and pushed the spoon forward a little. She glanced at him, then slowly lowered her head and ate the spoonful of porridge. One spoon after another. Beau’s deep and low voice sounded softly, “She was never my fiancee.” “But …” 2 “My second brother brought her back.” “My second brother used to be a soldier. An accident happened during the last task before he retired. His old squad leader blocked a grenade for him and died.” “After the death of the old squad leader, his wife in the countryside couldn’t stand the blow and committed suicide. She left her an underage daughter. Therefore, second brother brought this girl who became an orphan back to the Valentine family and raised her as a sister.” Eliza paused. “Is this girl Lucija?” “That’s right.” Beau nodded and continued feeding her congee. “When she first came to the Valentine family, I was eighteen and she was fifteen.” Beau’s movements and voice were gentle. “At that time, my second brother joked that he wanted her to marry me when she grows up, so there were rumors that she was my fiancee.” Eliza’s arms silently gripped the bed sheets at her side. “Only a rumor?” “What do you think?” Beau looked at her, his black eyes deep and bottomless. “If I really have feelings for her, do you think you still have a chance?” Eliza paused.
