Chapter 753 Can’t You Feed Her?
The next day, Jenny woke up, and when Evan saw her awake, he approached her and said, “The doctor said you can drink some chicken soup today.”
He then brought the chicken soup over and prepared to feed her with a spoon, saying,
“Come, have some. It’s not hot anymore.”
“I’ll do it myself,” Jenny responded. Although he had always been kind to her, she felt a little uneasy and uncomfortable. Perhaps it was because they hadn’t seen each other in so many years that Jenny wasn’t used to it.
“Can you move it?” Evan asked, referring to the wound on Jenny’s shoulder, which was still bandaged. She probably shouldn’t move it.
Embarrassed, Jenny replied, “I still have my other hand.”
Her right shoulder was injured, which rendered her right hand useless, but her left hand was fine, so she had no issue eating. Since she was so insistent, Evan didn’t say more. With a nod, he put the chicken soup on the table in front of her, and she used her left hand to eat.
Halfway through her meal, Gilbert knocked on the door and walked in.
“Gilbert!” Jenny was happy to see him. After he went abroad, they were apart for the longest time ever.
Gilbert nodded at her. He was displeased when he noticed Jenny eating the chicken soup with her left hand. Turning to Evan, he asked, “Can’t you feed Jenny? Must you make her use her left hand?”
He thought Evan would care for Jenny meticulously and was unhappy with his performance. Before Evan could explain, Gilbert picked up the spoon and began feeding Jenny.
Jenny smiled apologetically at Evan but didn’t refuse Gilbert’s assistance, leaving Evan feeling helpless.
“Jenny, aren’t you biased?” Evan grumbled to himself.
After she had finished the chicken soup, Jenny felt much better. She asked Gilbert,
’Did you fight those mercenaries yesterday?’
“No, they probably saw us coming and left quietly,” Gilbert replied. He had decided not to chase after them as Jenny’s safety was more important.
Jenny wasn’t surprised to hear that. “Those mercenaries were hired by the Glasses.”
“I heard everything from Mr. Walter. You took too much of a risk this time. I’m going to send some people to protect you, and you’re not allowed to refuse,” Gilbert said, knowing Jenny’s character and how she always relied on herself. She never took those who meant her harm seriously. However, there were always powerful people in the world, and nobody could defend themselves all the time, which was what happened to Jenny this time.
Jenny accepted his help as she had suffered the consequences. She understood why Gilbert was concerned about her.
“The Glasses spent a lot of money hiring mercenaries from abroad. I’m concerned that they have other motives. You should ask my father to be careful,” Jenny said, fearing that their next target was Graham.
Gilbert nodded and then said, “Rest well and tend to your injuries. Mr."
