Myrna went home and checked the refrigerator first. There were still a lot of vegetables left from the purchase yesterday, so she arranged a beef brisket stewed with potatoes, spare ribs , and… a salad .
She washed and cut vegetables very skillfully, which surprised Baldwin who couldn’t cook at all.
“Nowadays, most people order takeout or eat out. There are fewer and fewer girls like you who cook for themselves.”
Myrna smiled faintly: “Everyone has a different lifestyle. I am just used to cooking for myself.”
Baldwin watched her busy back and looked around.
The house is not big, but it is very clean and the layout is very thoughtful.
There was a small bookshelf in the living room, which was filled with books. He took a look and found that they were all professional books. One of them looked a little out of place because it was a book on physics.
He felt that it was somewhat impolite to stare at a girl’s room like that, so he didn’t dare to look at it any longer.
Soon, several dishes were served on the table, paired with hot rice, the aroma went straight into my nostrils.
Baldwin tasted a piece of the ribs and his eyes widened in shock: “It’s delicious! You are really good at cooking.”
He was used to eating greasy takeout, but the food Myrna cooked was simply amazing… no, divine.
Myrna was amused by his exaggerated expression: “Eat more if you like it.”
Baldwin nodded: “Thank you so much for the meal today.” He thought of something, and his eyelashes trembled shyly, “You are such a good cook, and you are such a good person. You must be very happy to have you as your boyfriend…”
Before Myrna could say anything, there was a series of banging sounds on the door.
She frowned and put down her chopsticks: “You eat first, I’ll go see what’s going on.”
After opening the door, Vita grabbed her and walked out without saying a word.
Myrna looked confused.
“Come with me to the hospital. My brother is sick and in the hospital. He needs you.”
Myrna didn’t move, and lowered her eyelids: “We have broken up. His affairs have nothing to do with me.”
Vita couldn’t believe these words came out of Myrna’s mouth.
“My brother has a perforated stomach, and you’re still angry? Don’t you have a heart?!”
“Don’t you love him? Is this your love? You knew that he just casually said that he wanted to break up, but you took it seriously and even got angry and blamed my brother for not coaxing you.”
“In the past six years, how has my brother treated you badly? You live in a villa, wear famous brands, have the choice of gold and silver jewelry, and can use your black card whenever you want…”
Vita counted them and felt envious. She didn’t even have a black card…
“I was speaking up for you before. I just asked you to go to the hospital to see him. Are you so unhappy about it?”
Myrna looked indifferent and said calmly, “Yes, I don’t like it. You can leave now.”
“Okay,” Vita laughed in anger, “Remember what you said today. You’d better stay tough and don’t cry and beg my brother to get back together!”
After saying that, she kicked the door hard and left without looking back.
Listening to Vita ‘s footsteps as she left, Myrna ‘s fingers gripping the door handle turned pale.
“Um… are you okay?”
Baldwin spoke somewhat awkwardly. He couldn’t hear clearly in the room, but he vaguely knew that two girls were arguing.
Myrna closed the door and turned back to smile at him: “It’s okay, I’ll help you get another bowl of rice.”
Baldwin glanced at her expression, which was calm and normal. “Okay.”
But in the second half, the atmosphere was clearly a bit subtle.
Although the meal was delicious, Baldwin felt uncomfortable while eating it.
After finally finishing his meal, he quickly said goodbye and left.
The house suddenly became quiet. Myrna was cleaning up the dishes, but Vita’s words were echoing in her mind .
Gastric perforation…
Because of my distraction, my hand slipped and the bowl broke.
She subconsciously tried to pick it up with her hand, but accidentally touched the fragments. She hissed and tears fell uncontrollably on the back of her hand.
Six years, not six days, nor six months. Certain habits have long been engraved in her bones. The moment she heard that Ansel was hospitalized, she almost instinctively worried and wanted to go to the hospital.
Fortunately, reason stopped this instinct.
Myrna thought that she would slowly get used to not worrying and not shedding tears for him.
She and Ansel went from being in love brilliantly to being tired of each other until they finally separated. She didn’t know when the cracks started to appear.
Maybe it was the first time he broke a promise, or maybe it was the first time he lied… Looking back now, I can only remember some vague fragments.
Six years can be epic or insignificant.
??
Vita angrily rushed downstairs in her high heels. As she was walking too fast, she tripped over the garbage in the hallway. She was so angry that she yelled, “What kind of a place do you live in? It’s so shabby and smelly. It’s really infuriating!”
Suddenly, the phone rang.
“Brother, why are you calling me? Didn’t the doctor tell you to have a good rest?”
She was furious, and thinking that Ansel was a patient, her tone softened, but still a little stiff.
In the hospital, Ansel just woke up and heard that Vita had gone out.
“… said he was going to find Myrna and ask her to come to the hospital to see you.” Gavin shrugged and spread his hands.
It means: I can’t stop it, I can’t stop it at all.
Ansel’s eyes flickered slightly, and he waited for another forty minutes. During this time, he drank water because he was thirsty, sat up, turned over, and secretly glanced at the door countless times. Finally, he couldn’t help it and dialed Vita ‘s number.
“Where are you?”
Vita replied vaguely: “Outside.”
“How long will it take?”
Vita was unable to bring Myrna along, and she didn?? t want to go back to the hospital and bother her brother, so??
“You’re not going over, are you? I’ll go home and get the chicken soup your mom made for you, and then–”
” Myrna is not with you?” The person on the other end noticed that her tone was wrong and spoke immediately.
Well!
Vita : “No.”
Ansel held the phone, his mouth tightened: “Who told you to go find her? What does my hospitalization have to do with her? Don’t you understand what breaking up means?! Mind your own business!”
“Yes, yes, I am meddling in other people’s business! So I am the only one who is disliked and annoying, while you two are so aloof and don’t care about each other!” Vita was also angry. Did he think she was a softie who was easy to bully?
“… What’s the meaning?”
Vita sneered: ” Myrna said that your problem has nothing to do with her. Whether you are sick or dead, it can’t be blamed on her, so she is not willing to go to the hospital to see you! Are you satisfied now?”
“Hello? Bro? Bro?!”
There was suddenly no sound from the other end.
She took down the phone and saw that the call had already been hung up.
In the ward, Faithe looked at Ansel’s cold and sinister eyes, then glanced at the cell phone that was smashed into pieces on the ground.
Well, another one is scrapped!
Faithe subconsciously held the phone in her pocket tightly. She had just compensated her with it and couldn’t borrow it again.
