Chapter 40 - Lonely (1/2)

Lena spent a long time in the shower. She just let the warm water spray over her body as she just stared emotionless into space. She then started washing herself, making sure to scrub her body a few more time than normal.

She felt refreshed and smelled nice when she got out. She needed to remind herself not to wear too many dresses in the future.

When she got out, she was greeted by a nurse who was delivering food for her.

”These are the food that Young Master Zhao specifically ordered for you.”

Lena looked at the food. They were expensive and nutritious food. ”Thank you.”

The nurse left and Lena ate her food. She savored every taste to compared it to the moment she thought she might have her last meal.

Ming Zhao had been very good to her lately. She will need to find him a thank you gift even though this was a favor. Lena was always very good at gifting Andy, but what would Ming Zhao like? He was nerdier than Andy.

'Aha… I should try asking Gary. Those two are into the same things right?'

She tried calling Gary a few times but there was still no answer. This is the first time that Gary had gone so silent on her. Lena shook her head. He is probably into another gaming spree of his, forgetting about eating and other people.

Instead, she called her mother.

”Hello?” Shen Milli answered the phone.

”Mom.”

”Lena, are you okay? Did something happen?”

”I am fine.”

”Are you lonely? I can come to stay with you for the night.”

”No. I don't need you to babysit me.” Lena chuckled.

”You are never too old to not need me to babysit you.”
