Chapter 2242: This Breakfast Was Affection

Mag saw Syndra, who was helped down the horse-drawn carriage by Vanessa and a palace maid and was shocked.

From what he remembered, this Queen had always been very elegant and demure. She would speak slowly and gently.

However, right now, she was ghastly pale and skinny. He could even see traces of white hair, as though she had aged more than 10 years all of a sudden.

Mag had already thought of the reason. Josh’s death must have brought her huge pain.

No matter what kind of a devil Josh was to the people, to Syndra, he was still her child that she carried in her womb for nine months and raised up.

Mag could not feel any bit of detestation for a mother like that. Instead, he suddenly wondered if that indifferent woman felt even a hint of sadness when he fell into the water and died.

Mag turned to the side to make way for them as he watched Vanessa and the palace maid help Syndra into the door and to a table nearby.

The heater was on in the restaurant, so the temperature was very comfortable.

Vanessa helped Syndra undo her muff and hung it on the back of the chair, so that Syndra could lean comfortably.

“What would you like?” Mag poured them some warm water and added a few drops of Spring of Life.

“Thank you for going through the trouble.” Syndra nodded at Mag. She held the crystal glass with her cold hands and felt the warmth from the water. After that, she put it to her mouth and took a sip.

The sweet Spring of Life moisturized her parched lips and when the light fragrant water slid down her throat, it was as though the arid earth had been moisturized by a spring, making her frown ease out.

The Spring of Life was not considered precious to the royalty but after slowly finishing the glass of water, the Spring of Life made her feel as though she could live again.

She felt hungry and felt how weak her body was. At the same time, she had a craving for food.

“Royal Mother, what would you like to eat?” Vanessa pushed the menu to Syndra while she also scanned through it. She saw several new dishes and could not help but swallow her saliva.

“You can order,” Syndra said with a smile.

Vanessa looked for a while and said, “I’ll order a serving of congee with pork and century egg for you first, and then two soup dumplings, and a bowl of soup. The soup dumpling is a new dish that I haven’t tried before too but it looks pretty good.”

“Alright.” Syndra nodded.

Mag looked at Vanessa, who closed the menu and asked with a smile, “How about you? What are you having?”

“Me?” Vanessa was shocked. She shook her head and said, “It’s not operation time yet. I can’t trouble you to make me food. I am already very grateful that you could cook for my mother.”

“Try the shaved noodles. It was released just two days ago, and I’ll bring two more soup dumplings.” Mag smiled and turned to walk towards the kitchen, without giving Vanessa the chance to reject him.

This lass was already drooling when she looked through the menu but still insisted that she was not going to eat.

“Mr. Mag is such a nice person,” Syndra said with a gentle smile as she looked at Mag’s back view. However, when she saw Mag pick up his cleaver, she was slightly stunned. She felt that his side profile was oddly familiar, yet she could not put her finger on it.

“Yes, Boss Mag is a super nice person. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t be able to eat right now.” Vanessa nodded. She propped her chin on her hand and watched Mag, who was in the kitchen. All she could see was the dough that kept changing in shape.

The dough was made beforehand last night but the dumplings and shaved noodles had to be made on the spot.

Luckily, there was already congee with pork and century egg prepared for the cleaners cooking in the pot so Mag could scoop a bowl out for Queen Syndra for her to have something.

The congee with pork and century egg that was just scooped up was still piping hot. Chopped green onions decorated the surface and the fragrance of the meat was already wafting over.

Syndra, who had not eaten for days, could not control her grumbling stomach when she smelled the meat. Her gaze was fixed on the porridge placed in front of her.

Bits of meat hid under the snowy white congee and pieces of translucent century egg decorated the dish. The fresh green spring onions made the food look brighter.

“It’s a little hot, be careful, Royal Mother.” Vanessa reminded Syndra softly as she placed a spoon in the bowl.

“Mm.” Syndra found it slightly funny. When Vanessa was young, she was the one who had to remind the little one. Now, it was the other way around. At the same time, she felt all warm and fuzzy inside.

Syndra scooped a spoonful of congee and blew it gently before putting it into her mouth.

The warm congee melted immediately in her mouth. It had a viscous texture but was very smooth. Similarly, the meat was also very soft and when she chewed on it gently, the fragrance of the meat exploded in her mouth. It was delicious.

After swallowing the food, she felt a ball of warmth travel down her throat and into her stomach. Her stomach, which was tortured for days, was warmed up and she felt good from top to toe.

The century egg was slightly springy and had a peculiar fragrance, giving this bowl of porridge a very distinct taste.

Her resistance toward food was completely gone with this mouthful of congee.

“Her Majesty is eating!” A palace maid covered her mouth in joy. The royal chefs had been racking their brains for the past few days to make all sorts of food for the Queen but she did not even take a single bite. No one would think that this simple bowl of congee could make the Queen eat.

“Indeed, Royal Mother knows how to appreciate Boss Mag’s food!” Vanessa was overjoyed as well. She was feeling very agitated before but thankfully it worked out. Otherwise, she would not know how to answer to her Royal Father.

Syndra took bite after bite and in no time at all, a bowl of congee with pork and century egg was down her stomach.

Syndra was stunned when she saw the empty bowl and just realized that she must have been devouring her food just now. She could not help but feel embarrassed.

Luckily, there was no one in the restaurant and Mag was also busy in the kitchen, so he probably did not see her just then.

“Is it good?” Vanessa asked with a smile as she helped Syndra wipe the corner of her mouth with a silk handkerchief.

“It’s the best congee I’ve had.” Syndra nodded with a smile.

After finishing the congee, Syndra felt as though she had regained most of her strength. She was also more energetic and she did not feel that down anymore. It felt as though there was something to look forward to in life.

If that rising sun gave her the courage to start anew, this bowl of congee made her feel the beauty of life.

It warmed her heart and the scrumptious taste brought her the sense of bliss she had not felt for a very long time.

“These are the soup dumplings. There is a simple introduction on the menu to eating it. The soup inside is very hot so be careful.” Mag brought out two bamboo steamers of soup dumplings. There were three in each steamer and they were each placed in front of Syndra and Vanessa.

“Thank you, Boss Mag!” Vanessa blinked at him with utmost gratitude.

Mag smiled and returned to the kitchen.

He was the one who killed Josh. However, he did not feel any guilt since it was an act accounting for all the past hatred and on top of that, he was helping the people get rid of evil.

This breakfast was affectionate. It was affection for Vanessa. It had nothing to do with Josh.
