Chapter 558: Chapter 558 The Surprise from Olivia Jenkins
Daniel Marshall’s heart ached for Olivia Jenkins, his handsome brows furrowing, “Honey, I’ll have Valerie Howard take you back to the villa by Pearl Lake. You should rest for a few days. I’ll be fine staying at the hospital with Grandpa alone.”
Olivia lifted her eyes, meeting Daniel’s gaze with a tender look. “I’m not leaving, I want to stay at the hospital with you. Don’t worry, honey, Grandpa won’t leave us in suspense for long, he will wake up. He definitely won’t let those people with ill intentions win, he will get better.”
The corners of Daniel’s lips twitched into a slight smile, his handsome face bathed in a sense of happiness. He then leaned in to kiss Olivia.
“Honey, wait for me. I’ll prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner quickly. The hospital’s canteen has allowed me to use it. I’ll bring over the meal once it’s ready,” said Olivia.
A sweet smile curved on Olivia’s face. Daniel seemed to catch her infectious grin as his smile deepened.
After giving Daniel a heartwarming kiss, Olivia left the ICU.
It was Chinese New Year’s Eve. The hospital seemed especially quiet, the corridors unusually tranquil.
…
With the New Year’s Eve dinner prepared, Olivia picked up a basket and made her way back to the ICU.
In the waiting area, only Daniel was there. Olivia took out the insulated containers one by one, opening each.
“Honey, I made fish soup. After you eat it, you’ll have surplus every year. Of course, dumplings are a must for New Year’s Eve. I made dumplings with three kinds of fillings. Try them and see what the fillings are. This is stewed lamb with white radish, it’s really sweet. Also, I stir-fried some Choy Sum. I didn’t prepare much rice, so eat more dumplings. This is vinegar. I added a bit of minced garlic.”
Daniel picked up his chopsticks, his heart swelling with happiness. “Thank you, honey!”
“Hurry and eat. After eating, we can see the snowscape from the window. This way of spending the New Year is not too bad. Hopefully, we won’t have to do it like this again. Once in a lifetime is enough. But this one time, we’re spending it together, an unexpectedly romantic experience.”
Daniel laughed at Olivia’s optimism, tenderly stroking her head.
Olivia’s face still held her sweet smile. Not only did she offer Daniel dumplings, but she also served him a bowl of fish soup, and picked out lamb for him.
Daniel tasted the dumpling Olivia had made, nodding repeatedly. “It’s filled with minced pork and mushrooms. Honey, the dumplings you made are delicious.”
“Honey, eat more!”
As Olivia sipped the fish soup, she watched Daniel eat the dumplings.
Seeing Daniel finish the dumpling she had marked, yet not discovering the lucky coin, Olivia stared at him wide-eyed.
“Honey, have you finished the dumplings? Didn’t you feel something hard? Didn’t you feel something you couldn’t chew?”
Daniel shook his head, his handsome face appearing somewhat bewildered.
Oblivious, Olivia blinked in disbelief.
In the blink of an eye, Olivia carefully searched for the dumpling she had marked.
After confirming she had given it to Daniel, he should have found the lucky coin, but he showed no reaction.
Could he have swallowed the lucky coin?
Exchanging a glance with Daniel, Olivia asked again, “Honey, are you really sure you didn’t bite into something?”
Daniel continued to shake his head seriously, picking up another dumpling to eat.
Olivia hurriedly said, “I put a lucky coin in the dumplings. On New Year’s Eve, whoever finds the lucky coin will be fortunate and have all their wishes fulfilled. I can’t believe you swallowed the lucky coin!”
Daniel was all smiles but inscrutable, looking at Olivia tenderly and affectionately.
Suddenly, Daniel pulled out the lucky coin he’d been holding in his mouth, “Honey, you’re so good to me! I can’t live without you!”
