Chapter 1653
Unaware of anyone outside, Harper lowered her head and asked the man lying on the hospital bed, "Silas, what do you want to eat? I'll make it for you when I go back."
Silas, who had just undergone a major surgery, looked pale and weak, but he still softly responded to Harper, "Let Camille go buy it, you don't have to keep running back and forth."
Harper had been tirelessly shuttling between the hospital and their living quarters for some time now. While wringing a towel dry, she quickly said, "You can't get used to the food here, so I'll cook for you."
Silas wanted to persuade her, but Harper interrupted him gently, saying, "It's just making a meal, it's not tiring at all."
Was making a meal not tiring? Kate felt exhausted just thinking about it. Did Harper never get tired because she had been doing it since she was little? Kate's face darkened at the thought. She needed to change this habit of always thinking from Harper's perspective!
Seeing Harper busy, Preston understood and didn't bother her. He waited until she finished pouring the water and came out before approaching her.
"Harper."
Seeing Preston appear here surprised Harper. After standing still for a moment, she quickly lowered her head and walked around him.
Not wanting to be ignored, Preston hurriedly caught up with her and stopped her. "My mom has talked to you privately. I already know."
Harper had mentioned it to Taya, so it wasn't surprising that Preston would find out too. But... when Harper glanced at Kate standing in the distance, why was his mother here too?
Confused, Harper saw Preston turn to the side and point at Kate. "I brought my mom here today specifically for her to apologize to you."
"Apologize?" Would Kate, a high-born lady from a wealthy pack, apologize to her?
Harper didn't believe it, but Preston explained, "My mom slandered you first, so naturally she has to apologize."
After explaining, he turned back and desperately gestured to Kate.
Reluctantly, Kate walked up to Harper, "I spoke too harshly before, Ms. Duke, you don't have to take it to heart."
Although Kate apologized, her tone and attitude still looked down on Harper. But it didn't matter to Harper, who replied, "It's okay."
Harper calmly dropped these words and wanted to go back to cooking.
