Blizzard, First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 297

Edmund obediently took a single, small bite.

At first, he felt nothing and thought he could handle it, but before he could take a second bite, the heat hit him.

He quickly gulped down a large mouthful of soy milk.

It managed to quell the burning sensation, though his tongue still felt a bit numb and sore.

"This one is the real deal," Isabel said. "If you're not opposed to spicy food, you can start with something milder."

Mrs. Ashford quickly poured him more milk, smiling. "Children are always curious. Someone like your grandmother sees that bright red color and knows to stay far away."

After finishing the milk, Edmund felt he could speak again. He said to Mrs. Ashford, "Grandma, you're not well, so you shouldn't eat it. When I develop a supplement that's right for your condition, I'll help you get your strength back. Then you'll be able to eat whatever you want."

After losing her child, Mrs. Ashford had lost her appetite, and over time, her digestion had weakened.

It was only recently, with Isabel and all her friends bringing life back into the house, that she had started eating a little more.

But if she ate even a little too much, she would get a stomachache.

Lately, she had been taking the pills Isabel had given her.

They looked like simple digestive aids but were actually a complex medicinal formula.

But her body had been frail for so long that she couldn't recover overnight.

That was why she didn't dare try even a single bite of something so stimulating.

"Thank you, my dear grandson. I will be waiting."

Edmund then turned to Isabel. "If Mommy can eat it, I want to be able to eat it too. So I'll start with something milder. I know I can do it."

Evelyn let out a dramatic sigh, leaning on Amanda's shoulder. "Where do I have to pray to get a son like that?"

Amanda laughed. "A minute ago, you were talking about having a daughter and getting Isabel to help you. You've changed your mind already? That was a quick turnaround."

Evelyn feigned wiping a tear of envy from the corner of her mouth as she stuffed a large slice of beef into her mouth. "I was just talking. I see something good that someone else has, and I want it too."
