Gary sat silently in the dining area, staring at Lena as she sweetly cooked herself away. He was very happy at this very moment.
There had been countless times where he witnessed her cooking for Andy and how many times he wished she was cooking for him. Now, his wish was finally coming true.
She said that she can handle herself about her kidnapping, but he will make sure the people who kidnapped her are gone. No one is allowed to harm Lena at all.
"I should be sick more often." Gary thought to himself.
Gary"s apartment is not as small because he bought two apartments and combined them. The other room was where all his geek stuff were.
Lena was cooking a simple rice porridge for Gary. There was not much he had but this should be good enough for him since he was sick. He should not be eating greasy take out foods when he is sick.
During her college years, she took countless cla.s.ses on dancing, cooking, music, and sewing. She wanted to be the perfect wife for Andy. Thinking back now, she was a very narrow-minded child chasing after love.
There was a knock on the door. Lena went and open it. It was Kye. Lena told Kye to go back to the car with Noah. She will be done soon.
Lena finished up her porridge and dish it to Gary. She plopped it down onto the table.
"Eat that. There are a few more in the pot. Then take your medicine."
"Are you leaving?"
"I only came here to check on you. I have to get home before my parents have another heart attack."
Gary took a bite and smiled. "It"s very good."
"You get well, and then we can go shopping with Hazel."
"Ehehehehe… I look forward to it." Gary sarcastically laughed.
Lena knew that the two don"t get along well together.
Before Lena even got out of the car when she reached home, her dad was already out and opened the door. Lena quickly got out to be hugged by her dad. Lena missed him too.
He must have had it rough not seeing her the past day, especially after knowing that she was kidnapped.
Lena hugged her father. "Sorry."
"Don"t be. Daddy is sorry for not being able to protect you."
Lena felt so happy to be loved. She was glad to come back home.
"Come on in. Your mother and Aunt Mary cooked all your favorite."
Lena smiled and they both went inside the mansion. The smell of the food was strong. As they both arrive, the dining table was full of seafood.
There were lobsters, fish and lots of shrimps. Lena could never ask for more from such loving parents. Lena sat her father down first while she helped her mom and Aunt Mary bring the rest of the food to the table.
They all sat down and Lena was quick to dive in. Although she had been eating well at the hospital, nothing is better than home cooked meals from her mom and Aunt Mary.
"You should slow down. No one is going to steal the food away from you." Shen Milli said as she was looking at her daughter.
"MHm… they are really good. Thank you!"
"So… I heard CEO Li came and visit you at the hospital?" Her mother suddenly asked her.
Lena coughed a few times, gulping down some water. She patted herself in the heart. "You hear wrong, Madam Li came to visit me. CEO Li was just there to accompany her."
"Madam Li"s did want to deliver a gift to you."
"That"s right. She was really happy about the opening ceremony." Lena smiled.
"Are you going back to work tomorrow already? If it is still too early, you can rest for a few more days." Shen Mao spoke.
"No need. Time is money."
"Aiya… You are starting to sound like your father. Working too much and forgetting about your health and family." Shen Milli commented.
"Of course! I am my father"s baby!" Lena laughed.
They all enjoyed a nice family dinner.
