Chapter: 1273

While Lila was hesitating whether she should go inside or not, Carson suddenly appeared and took the porridge from her.

“It's okay. Let me do it Instead."

"Oh, okay. Thank you, Mr. Scott."

Carson slightly chuckled and said, “It's not a big deal. But I actually have to ask you for help."

Lila didn't know much about Carson's personality. Therefore, when she saw his bright smile, she thought Carson was very approachable, and he wasn't one of those typical arrogant rich men.

“What is it, Mr. Scott?"

"Well, I know you heard Rachel saying that she would only give me half an hour. By that time, I should have taken Victor away already."

Lila nodded but was still confused at what his main point was.

"Lila, Victor is still recovering, and it's still early in the morning. Someone who's as weak as him needs more rest. I bet that he can't walk properly yet. So, thirty minutes is too short! Besides, if

Victor is still sleeping, it will be too troublesome to wake him up and force him to leave just like that." Carson sighed.

"Victor hasn't acquired enough rest to fully recover. If something happens on the way back to the hospital, it will be bad."

After hearing this, Lila realized that Carson's points were reasonable. So, she nodded and agreed.

"Then, what exactly do you need my help with?"

"Lila, did Rachel say what time she will come back today?"

"Hmm...Not really. But she did say that I don't need to cook Lunch for her."

"I see. For now, I'll let Victor have the porridge you made." Carson clapped his hands tightly.

“Lila, I know you have a good heart. Let my poor friend have more time to rest. Please don't tell Rachel about this!"

Lila didn't think it was a good idea. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but Carson smiled and thanked her sincerely.

She was too stunned to speak.

When Carson entered the room with a bowl of porridge in his hands, the man in the bed was still sleeping. He could see that the man's face was pale even from a distance.

He closed the door gently and walked silently to avoid causing any disturbance to the patient.

As soon as he put the porridge on the bedside table, he raised his head and saw that Victor was staring at him.

Carson raised his eyebrows.

“When did you wake up?"

"When she woke up." Victor had a fever that night, and the wounds on his body were burning. He felt dizzy throughout the night but he had to bear with that. He was awake when Rachel came into the room the previous night and fell fallen asleep not long after.
