Chapter 654 - Breakfast In The Room (1/2)

Lauriel understood what's in London's heart. He lost the woman he loved because she died during childbirth. More than his own sadness, he knew how much his son Alaric had lived in self-hatred for almost a hundred years because he considered his birth caused his mother's death.

He didn't want anyone to experience what he and his children experienced. That's why he wholeheartedly helped London and his child.

As a medicine expert who had a hundreds of years experience and knew various miraculous plants, Lauriel had kept a lot of knowledge about the best ways to cure human ailments. Even Caspar, a modern doctor, highly respected Lauriel's knowledge and never felt that he was more capable.

Lauriel earnestly nodded. ”I need a few hours to prepare the medicine.”

”I can accompany you to look for medicinal ingredients anywhere, so hurry...” London pleaded, his voice filled with hope.

”No need. Just stay with her inside and make sure she feels calmer. A positive attitude has a huge impact on recovery. I can find all the ingredients I need by myself,” Lauriel answered.

”I'm coming with you, Uncle Lauriel” Rune hurriedly got up from the sofa and took his jacket. ”I'd like to learn about new medicines.”

”Okay.” Lauriel gave a signal to Rune and the young man immediately followed him.

”We'll be gone for a while. You guys should eat breakfast first so no one will get sick from exhaustion...” Lauriel ordered.

He then walked out with Rune. They chatted a bit about L's diagnosis and how Lauriel thought of the best treatment for her.

London only drank coffee before re-entering L's treatment room. His parents let him take care of L and his daughter while they had breakfast with Terry, Aldebar, and Jan. Inside, Finland felt proud because her son grew up to be a good and responsible man. She hoped L could see London's sincerity and his dedication so far and wanted to change her mind.

Even though L was engaged to Danny Swan, they can still break off the engagement. Even married people can get divorced, can't they? What more if they're only engaged. It would be better if Lily grew up with complete parents, she thought.

Finland let London do what he thought was best regarding L and his daughter. At the dining table, the Schneider family only enjoyed breakfast in silence. There wasn't much to talk about as long as L and Lily's condition hadn't improved.

When London entered L's room, he saw a new nurse coming and bringing breakfast to L. Even though L received nutrition through the infusion, she still felt hungry and asked to be brought food.

”Let me do it,” London hurriedly took the tray from the nurse's hand and placed it carefully on the bedside table. He then sat on the edge of the bed and squeezed L.'s hand. The girl's closed eyes then opened slowly.

”Hmmm...” she muttered in an unclear voice when she saw London was back beside her.

”The nurse has brought food. Let me feed you...” London offered. He asked the nurse to help him and the nurse immediately pressed the button to adjust L's bed so that she could sit.

L's lips opened slightly as if to say something, but said nothing in the end.

She only nodded and didn't protest when London took a spoonful of congee and raised the spoon in front of her lips. She obediently opened her mouth and ate whatever London gave her.

The first bite was eaten very slowly. London patiently fed her the congee and L accepted it without saying anything. Likewise for the third spoon and so on.

”Thank you...” London said quietly, rubbing a little congee stain on the edge of L's lips after she finished eating it.

L raised her eyebrows in surprise. ”Why are you thanking me? I should be the one saying that...”

London shook his head. ”I'm thankful you're not bothersome. Taking care of you is really easy and fun...”

He smiled then put aside the bowl and peeled an apple.

”You...” L seemed stunned to hear London say his words so lightly. She felt that she had troubled everyone because of her illness ever since she was a child. That was why she was determined to be independent so she could take care of herself as soon as possible.
