The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 639

Carlson was amazed to see the delectable spread at the dinner table. "Are these all prepared by our son?" Carlson asked in amazement. Anthony had never made any food at home before. Carlson couldn't believe his son had become such a wonderful cook.

"Of course he made all of these," Laura said with a smile as she arranged a plate for Carlson. Carlson took his seat at the dining table and looked forward to the breakfast eagerly.

"Good morning, dad," Anthony greeted Carlson. As soon as he saw his father coming to the dining table, he took the plates from Laura and asked her to take a seat. He cooked the food and wanted to serve his parents in his own hands. He put bowls and chopsticks in front of his parents and said,"The breakfast is ready. Let's have it now!"

Carlson felt pleased. He had a large bowl of porridge and many fried dumplings. It was a common breakfast, but he felt it extremely yummy. It had been ages since they had sat together for a meal with their son.

"How does it taste, Dad?" Anthony asked Carlson. Anthony was a little nervous because he cooked for his parents for the first time. Both his parents were engrossed in their respective bowls.

Carlson nodded his head and said,"Very good."

Then he took some soybean milk and said,"I'm full now. And it's time to go to work. Anthony, come with me."

"Okay." Anthony nodded and rose from his seat. He then turned to his mother and said,"Mom, I'll be back soon."

As they walked towards the gate of their house, Carlson said to Anthony,"Now that you have learnt your mother's disease, I hope you can show her some more concern. Don't irritate her again, okay?"

"Don't worry, dad. I won't do that," Anthony spoke in an apologetic manner. Then he promised,"What happened yesterday was just an accident because I didn't know mom's condition at that time. I promise I won't annoy her any more. You can go to work without any worries. I am here to take care of her."

"Your mom is going to have lunch with Jasmine today. You'd better go with her to make sure she does not fall ill." Carlson shared some words of advice with Anthony. Anthony had been away from them for the last three years. And now that he was back, his parents left no stone unturned to bond with him.

Anthony nodded dutifully and said,"Okay dad, I will." Carlson gave a smile to Anthony and patted his back before getting on to the car.

After seeing Carlson off, Anthony went back to the house. Laura was still at the dining table relishing her breakfast. She smiled as she saw Anthony coming back and said to Anthony,"You have grown up to be a real man. I am really happy to have you back with us."

Anthony smiled at Laura lovingly and said,"Mom, I will make breakfast for you every day as long as I'm home."

"Good boy," Laura said with a contented smile on her face. Having Anthony back after so many years was perhaps the most blissful thing that had happened to them lately. As Anthony started to pour a glass of milk to her, she asked,"Did your father ask you not to annoy me just now?"

Anthony looked up at Laura in a completely astonished look as he was not expecting her to bring up the topic at this moment. Immediately, Anthony apologized to Laura,"I'm sorry mom. It was all my fault. I shouldn't have made you angry."

Anthony lowered his eyes feeling guilty to have agitated Laura. He felt extremely regretful once he thought about what happened yesterday.

"Don't worry. I'm fine. It was just because of my hypertension." Laura smiled lovingly at her son and added,"You don't have to blame yourself for that."

Laura could see the guilty look on her son's face. She didn't want him to worry about her. She tried to relieve him as she said,"It's just a common disease and will be controlled easily. As a doctor, I think you should know it isn't a big deal."

Anthony had the same worry-mixed-with-guilt look on his face. His face remained tensed even after Laura tried to assure him about her medical condition. Then he spoke with a frown on his face,"I was a doctor and I know hypertension seems to be safe usually. But it could be fatal when the patient falls ill. Anyway, you should get regular check up done in the hospital."

"I know it. Your father can take care of me. Don't worry," Laura said with a smile.
