Chapter 1528
Edwin stifled a grunt and quickly stood up, sucking in cool air discreetly.
The porridge, fresh out of the oven, had been delivered here at top speed.
Immediately, his chest was scalded red.
Joanne didn't expect Edwin to get burned. A trace of concern flashed in her eyes before she spoke in a hard voice. "As I said, I don't want to eat. Tail isn't your daughter, so you don't have to worry about her. But I do. If you are hungry, you can go ahead and eat."
The veins popped on Edwin's forehead. "I didn't know she was so weak."
Joanne was speechless.
"That's not the excuse you can lock a three-year-old child up in a dark room. Would you do that to your daughter?"
Edwin's eyes were filled with deep frustration. He had done that in a fit of pique.
His eyes stared at Joanne unblinkingly.
"What can I do to make you satisfied?"
Joanne said with a poker face, "You can't, not until Tail wakes up."
"You know that's not what I meant." He was trying to get her to accept his kindness.
Knowing full well that Joanne wouldn't listen to him, Edwin silently picked up the overturned bowl and left the ward despondently.
A dozen seconds later, a maid came in gingerly to clean up the mess.
But the aroma of porridge lingered.
Edwin couldn't stand the sticky feeling in his shirt.
He asked for a separate high-class ward and took a shower inside. Just as he wrapped himself in a bath towel, he heard the doorbell ring.
It was the doctor who had hurried over upon learning about Edwin's injury.
