Chapter 251
Unbothered by Chelsea's reaction, Hugh continued persuading her, "Chelsea, for Lucy's sake, can you please come out and eat just a little bit?" Chelsea closed her eyes, reluctantly put her phone down, and got out of bed like a robot.
After she opened the door, Hugh's face lit up as he finally got to see his girlfriend who had not left the room for days. However, he could tell from her gaunt face and bloodshot eyes that she had not had proper rest in a long time.
Sighing, he carefully supported her to the dining table. "Chelsea, sit down first. Let me heat up the food."
Chelsea obediently sat down without saying anything.
Hugh's gaze dimmed. He knew that this was a psychological issue, so she needed time to heal. All he could do now was take care of Chelsea's health.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
He put on the apron and reheated the food that had gone cold, but because of his lack of experience, he accidentally burned his hand on the bowl.
He quickly ran his hand under cold water for a moment and ignored it. Ten minutes later, the food was heated up, so he carefully brought it out. "Chelsea, I heated up the food, so eat it while it's hot."
Chelsea blankly picked up the cutlery and ate.
Only after Chelsea finished her meal did Hugh feel relieved. Now, it was time to let her rest.
He helped her stand up and said, "Chelsea, you should get some sleep. Your eyes are all red." Chelsea did not respond at first, but when Hugh helped her up, she noticed his reddened hand. With a hoarse voice, Chelsea asked, “What happened to your hand?”
Hugh's gaze became shifty as he tucked his hand behind him. He did not want Chelsea to worry about him. "It's nothing, Chelsea. You should go to sleep first. It's just a little burn. I'll go put some ointment on it."
Listening to his words, Chelsea felt
the urge to cry. After crying at Lucy's funeral she thought that she had run out of tears, but her vision was blurred once again. A sour feeling welled up in her.
This time, she was not crying because of grief but because she was touched by the feeling of being cared for.
Hugh was almost scared to death by Chelsea's sudden tears. He clumsily wiped her tears away and stuttered, "Chelsea, why are you crying again? Did do something wrong? Please don't be mad."
His slow-witted remarks made Chelsea laugh. It was the first time she smiled in days.
"You idiot!" Chelsea laughed while scolding him.
Then, she pulled Hugh to the living room, where she skillfully retrieved the first aid kit and applied medicine to his burn while Hugh just stared at her blankly.
'Does this mean Chelsea is okay now?' Hugh wondered.
He cautiously asked, "Are you not sad anymore?"
Chelsea rolled her eyes impatiently. "I've cried enough these past few days. Lulu isn't coming back anymore. If I keep crying like this, I might as well go to heaven and keep her company."
"I won't allow that."
Hugh quickly pulled Chelsea into his arms.
