Chapter 54
Grandpa Dave immediately understood the whole situation, but he did not really mind either way. “No matter the reason, fate has brought you together as neighbors.” ”That’s right! It’s fate!” Alex nodded vigorously, expressing that Grandpa Dave was right, and he agreed with Grandpa Dave wholeheartedly. Claudia was even more straightforward. She stood in front of Sean and wrapped her arms around his arm as she showed a sincere expression. “Uncle Handsome, you don’t have to be so formal. We really like you.” “I’m done cooking. Go wash your hands. Lunch is ready.” At the same time, Molly walked out of the kitchen, asking the triplets to wash their hands before they ate. They responded unanimously, “Sure.” They then went to the washroom diligently to wash their hands. Sean and Grandpa Dave sat at the table as well, followed by Tony, who sat next to Sean. Tony could not help but swallow as he looked at the various dishes that filled the table. Molly then served two bowls of herbal soup that she carefully prepared for both her patients.
The soup was brewed with revitalizing and nourishing herbs that tasted slightly bitter. “You’ve started your treatment, so you can take this herb more often to help build your body back up. Try it. It might taste a little bad, but good medicine tastes bitter. I’ve already tried my best to cancel out the bitterness,” Molly explained as she looked at Sean. Sean took the bowl of soup with his slender fingers. He grabbed the edge of the bowl and took a sip out of it. His eyes glimmered as he said, “Not bad.”
He had already prepared to gulp down the bitterness of the soup. But after taking a sip, he realized that it did not taste as bad as he expected. The herbs were carefully brewed, so the soup tasted light and refreshing with a slight tinge of a bitter aftertaste.
“It’s best if you can get used to the taste. I’ll give you the recipe after we’re done eating. You can get Mr. Tony to prepare it for you once a day,” Molly responded faintly. The same goes for Grandpa Dave, whose soup was also to replenish his health. “Grandpa, I added fewer herbs in your soup. It contains mostly tonics, so it’ll probably taste better. Try it. I couldn’t take care of you because I wasn’t around you last time, but I can now! I will take good care of you now that we’re living together.” Molly had a bright grin on her face as she spoke gently. Needless to say, she was genuine. Grandpa Dave chuckled, “For now. You’ll probably grow tired of me after some time.”
