Chapter 50: Chapter 50
Barbara stood up and sat beside Leo. She glanced at the table and saw there were over ten different sized dishes, and most of them were rather spicy,
which were not suitable for patients who had had a severe fever.After knowing all of the dishes,
Barbara's gaze was fixated on the bowl of porridge on the table.
Even if Barbara didn't know what the functions of these medicine food were,
she knew that Colla Corii Asini could increase a woman's blood circulation and nourish her yin.
The auntie couldn't possibly let Leo, who had a high fever, drink this.
Leo usually only ate light meals. Those meals were all made by this auntie,
how could she cook such a dish when he was sick?Barbara looked around and then looked at Leo with doubt
, "Are you sure that these dishes were prepared by the Aunt Cecilia for you?"
"No." Leo looked at Barbara, his gaze deep and gentle. I made the Aunt Cecilia specially prepare these for you.
"Barbara was surprised, "These are prepared for me?"Leo nodded.
With just a simple sentence, Barbara's haze in her heart was swept away.
So it wasn't just her that would worry about him, he would also care about her.
"Thank you!" Barbara looked at Leo and smiled, then start eating.Due to the matter with Leo,
Barbara was too worried to eat breakfast, and now that lunch had been delayed till now,
she was really hungry, so her manner of eating was not graceful.
Leo looked at her with profound gaze. After a long while, he opened his mouth and asked.
"Did you suffer some sort of grievance today?"Barbara was not a person who would easily shed tears.
The scene of her crying just now left Leo an extremely deep impression and his intuition told him that she must have suffered some sort of grievance.
Barbara paused for a moment, raised her head and glared at him, and said with her nasal voice,
"Yes, I have been wronged.""Tell me about it. If anyone dares to bully you, I'll help you vent your anger. " Leo sounded it like a joke,
but he paid attention to every single change in Barbara's expression."The one who made me feel wronged was you." Barbara really wanted to say this,
but after thinking about it, she decided not to. She could not let Leo slap himself yet.
"Ding—dong ~ ~ ~"Someone pushed the door and entered the room, placing a document in front of Leo, which interrupted their conversation, "Chairman Leo,
this document requires your signature."Todd brought the document in front of him and flipped through the pages for him, then talk to Leo in Chinese.
Barbara did not quite understand what Todd was talking about.
She had roughly heard some key words that were about buying something.As the two conversed, Leo finished reading the documents.
He took the pen Todd handed to him and quickly signed his Chinese name —— Qin. Todd kept the documents and exited the room.
Leo casually glanced at the contents of the box on the table.Leo had a very deep memory of this thermal insulating box.
It was exactly the same box that Barbara had used to prepare the seaweed dumplings for him last time. "What's that?"
He looked at the thermal insulating box on the tea table and asked gently.
Barbara followed his gaze and looked over. When she saw it was the thermal insulating box that she had brought, she stammered,
"N—nothing.""Hmm?" Leo raised his eyebrows and looked at Barbara quietly.Barbara was flustered by his gaze, and could only speak honestly,
"It was the vegetable porridge that I brought you. I was worried that you would not be used to it,
so I didn't take it out to give it to you."Leo coughed lightly, and said with a very serious look,
"Barbara, you are not me, how do you know that I would not like it? You didn't even ask me, and didn't even give me a chance to choose.
How could you easily make a decision for me? "At that time, he made the decision to marry Barbara, and he would try to accept everything of her,
no matter whether it was good or bad.But the feeling Barbara gave him recently was that she didn't believe him at all!
Barbara lowered her head and whispered like a child who had done something wrong,
"Em, in the future, I will definitely not make the decision for you without asking for your opinion."Seeing Barbara lower her head like a frustrated wife,
Leo felt it was kind of funny. "I'm just hungry, go and get it and then I can eat."
"Yes." Barbara brought the thermal insulation box over and said while holding the porridge,
"This is mustard orchid porridge, it might be a little bitter, so you should be fine, right?""I'm not picky with food."
Actually Leo was an extreme picky eater, but it was just that he could eat anything Barbara cooked,
no matter what food.Just like last time, he ate the onion even though he knew he was allergic to it and eventually had a drip—feeding.
Ever since he got married, he's been trying very hard to be a good husband."Is it delicious?" Barbara looked at him and asked with a smile."Not bad."
This time Leo generously praised her and took another big bite.
Watching Leo eat the porridge that she cooked on her own, and seeding him so enjoying the porridge, a tinge of sweetness surfaced in Barbara's heart,
as if they were getting a little closer.Leo would normally not say anything nice to her,
but when knowing that her hands and feet were cold, he would prepare gloves and a warm water bag for her, and would take actual actions to take care of her.
Recently she had slept very well every night and had never been woken up by the cold in her limbs like before.Just as Leo was drinking the porridge,
Hebe and a doctor knocked on the door and entered. The doctor was the one that Barbara had met earlier in the morning,
the one who had given him the injection.The doctor swept across Barbara and his gaze landed on the bowl of porridge Leo was eating,
"Young Master, your fever has yet subsided and it may cause other problems at any time, so please don't eat food that is not made by us for now.
It would be bad if the bacteria infected your body."Hearing the doctor's words,
Barbara felt very uncomfortable. The doctor was clearly trying to say that the food she had cooked were not clean.
Yes, she admitted that she had not known Leo for as long time as them.
They had followed Leo for long and had a deep relationship with Leo,
but after all, she was Leo's wife!Just as Barbara was feeling extremely depressed,
her body was suddenly embraced by Leo. His low and heavy voice sounded in her ears, "Assistant Swift and Doctor Van,
let me introduce my wife, Barbara, to you."My wife, Barbara!It was just three simple words, but it instantly stabbed right into Barbara's heart,
causing her heart to soften in an instant as she looked at Leo quietly and gently.
Yes, from the day they got married, Barbara was no longer Miss Barbara —— she was Mrs. Young.
Leo looked at Barbara again, his gaze softening, "Barbara, assistant Swift and Doctor Van are the people who have been working by my side for a long time.
On the surface, it seems that we are employer and employees, but in reality,
they are all friends to me, just like members of my family."Leo's words were pleasant to hear, but he once again emphasized the true relationship among them.
