Chapter 1146: Chapter 1138: Everything Will Be Alright 4

Tiana Thorne understood what he meant, sat next to him, and Linden Hawthorne’s gaze never left her. Watching her tear open another package, she took out a bottle, inserted the straw, and handed it to his lips: "Drink this."

Linden Hawthorne paused for a moment but did not refuse, opening his mouth to bite the straw.

"What is this?" He tasted the sweetness.

Tiana Thorne said, "It’s for replenishing blood. You look so pale, I can’t let you suffer."

Hearing this, a smile tugged at the corners of Linden Hawthorne’s lips, and a warm feeling flowed through his heart.

"You didn’t go to the office because your body couldn’t take it, right?" Tiana Thorne thought he wouldn’t take a break easily, so it must be because he’s not feeling well.

At this point, Linden Hawthorne saw no need to hide anything and said lightly, "I’m a bit tired, anemic, and now it’s flaring up again."

All of this was because of things Linden Hawthorne had done for her, a misstep that he dared not tell her, so sometimes Tiana Thorne had to guess: "You, you don’t tell me anything, and I can’t be mad at you. I really have no way around you."

She couldn’t get mad because she didn’t have the right.

Linden Hawthorne reached out to stroke the top of her head: "You don’t need to worry about me. I know my limits."

"How can I not worry, you’re not an outsider, and you don’t even answer your phone." Tiana Thorne said.

She was a bit anxious.

She worries about the people she cares about, a feeling stemming from a primal fear of loss.

It’s not that she lacks confidence, but she cares too much.

With those words, Linden Hawthorne felt everything he did was worth it. His smile widened, the corners of his eyes narrowing with a deeper happiness, appearing healing and sunny, even his gentle face was like a smooth piece of pure jade: "Just hearing you say that is enough. I was sleeping earlier and didn’t see the call. Knowing you’re fine overseas is enough for me, and I worry about being disturbed by others."

It seemed he was afraid of being disturbed by others.

Tiana Thorne understood: "You haven’t eaten, have you? I’ll make you something."

"You don’t have to go to the trouble."

"It’s no trouble, you have to eat, it’s good for your health."

Tiana Thorne wished a day could pass as ten days. She wanted to nurse Linden Hawthorne back to health.

Back to how it used to be.

Tiana Thorne’s learning ability was quick; following the cookbook wasn’t hard to pick up.

Stewing old hen, stir-frying small eels.

This long and complicated process was easier done with a cookbook.

Tiana Thorne washed the hen clean, its insides already removed. She placed the chicken on the cutting board, picked up a knife, and with a decisive motion, chopped it into pieces.

At this moment, she thought it would have been easier to have it chopped at the market; she wondered why she hadn’t thought of it before.

After chopping, she blanched it in hot water, took it out, and set it aside.

She put oil in the pot. Once the oil was heated, she added the chicken pieces.

As the oil splattered high, Tiana Thorne quickly stepped back, afraid it would splash on her face.

She wasn’t used to cooking, so she appeared somewhat awkward.

Linden Hawthorne stood at the kitchen door, watching her busy from left to right. After she finished, she placed the chicken in a clay pot to simmer on low heat.

Despite the clumsiness, Linden Hawthorne felt full of happiness.

He thought, just because Tiana Thorne was so earnest, even if it tasted terrible, he would eat it all.

The stir-fried small eels presented an even greater challenge because the eels were still alive, jumping around in the pot, which startled her.

If it weren’t for the claims about its importance for replenishing blood, she wouldn’t have bothered with such a terrifying thing.

In her panic, oil splattered onto her arm.

"Are you okay?" Linden Hawthorne saw her retracting her arm, nervously approaching to hold it.
