Before I could react, Ferris sat back down on the sofa and looked at me: “I’m not feeling well. You stay and take care of me.”

If I take care of you, will you be willing to let my friend go?”

erris made a “mm” sound, his voice hoarse and maic.

Alright.” I agreed.

erris leaned back on the sofa, his stomach aching dully. He hadn’t eaten anything since going abroadst night until now.

Aurora, you haven’t forgotten how to cook, have you? I’m hungry.”

[‘ll order takeout for you.” I took out my phone.

If I cook, it will take at least an hour or two,” I exined.

Ferris was now lying on the living room sofa, eyes slightly closed, listening bto /bthe busy sounds from the kitchen.

Everything seemed to return to the beginning.

His body felt terrible, but his mood had improved considerably.

After resting for a while, he opened his phone.

The head of the legal department summarized all the online public opinion for him.

Ferris looked through the discussions about Ashley one by one, his expression calm.

He sent a message to the person in charge: “Release herb./bb” /b

Then he closed his phone.

I didn’t know that Ferris had already ordered ra’s release as I personally made his favorite dishes. I brought the dishes to the table one by one and prepared the cold medicine.

“Dinner’s ready.”

Ferris came to the dining room. Looking at the delicious and well–presented dishes on the table, he suddenly said: “You used to cook for me often and would help me pick out fish bones.”

I didn’t expect him to remember these things. Sitting across from him, I said calmly: “Now I think only people who are good to me are worth loving.”

“The person you mean who’s good to you–is that Adrian?” Ferris gripped his knife and fork tightly. “We were married for three years, and I still can’tpare to a childhood ymate of yours?”
