"Are you hungry?" Julian Lancaster asked.
Nina Sinclair, reminded by him, reached out to touch her stomach, realizing that her outburst had indeed consumed a lot of her energy. She was really hungry.
Julian Lancaster saw this and said, "I’ll go buy you some food."
After saying this, he turned and left.
Shortly afterward, Julian Lancaster returned with several bags of dinner.
He opened the containers and placed them in front of Nina Sinclair. Seeing Nina’s right hand hanging awkwardly by her neck, he asked, "Do you need me to feed you?"
Nina, though a bit embarrassed, knew her hand wasn’t functioning well at the moment, and her left hand’s usability wasn’t high either. She probably couldn’t manage the chopsticks, so she had to trouble him for help.
She nodded awkwardly, "Mm, thank you."
Julian Lancaster opened the disposable chopsticks, picked up food for Nina, and fed it into her mouth.
With food in her mouth, Nina suddenly felt her eyes tingle.
She remembered Byron Sinclair again.
Byron loved her dearly when she was young. Whenever she was picky and refused to eat, he would softly coax her, even tenderly feeding her himself.
But all of that changed when that woman appeared.
Now all of Byron’s love must be given to the woman and her child, right?
Nina swallowed the bitterness in her heart along with the food.
A spoonful of rice made its way to her mouth, pulling her back to reality. She turned her head to glance at Julian Lancaster, his handsome face close, patient and tender.
Julian’s features were strikingly attractive, deep and sculpted with a tall nose. Although his lips, tinged with red, were pressed in a stern line with a hint of aloofness, he seemed very handsome.
This moment of concentration and seriousness was particularly endearing to her.
The man feeding her was Julian!
A warmth surged through Nina’s heart, causing her heart to race furiously. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NovᴇlFirᴇ(.)nᴇt
Her depressing mood instantly improved.
Actually, Julian was quite a good person.
She opened her mouth, eating the food he offered and pushed Byron Sinclair to the back of her mind.
Without further words, one assisted while the other enjoyed, just like an ordinary couple, creating a scene oddly warm.
After feeding Nina Sinclair, Julian Lancaster packed up and left.
Outside the ward, Julian took out his phone and dialed Felix Ford’s number. It connected quickly, and Felix’s voice rang out, "President Lancaster."
"Release James Aldridge."
"What?" Felix’s voice was surprised. He didn’t understand why Julian would suddenly let James go, given how upset he was earlier, nearly kicking James to death.
Without waiting for Felix to speak, Julian continued, "Also, send someone to follow him, monitor his every move, and report back at any time."
Upon hearing this, Felix instantly understood. Julian must have a plan; he replied, "Understood, I got it."
At this moment, confined and battered, James Aldridge felt he was extremely unlucky!
Though he had already erased all surveillance after tampering with Nina Sinclair’s equipment, he didn’t realize he was still caught. Whoever managed this must be exceptionally capable.
A stranger came with Felix to interrogate him earlier, dominating with an intimidating aura, much like a grim deity, delivering a severe beating.
James held his face, feeling immense regret.
Not only did he fail to win over Sierra Sinclair, he ended up paying a huge price; it truly wasn’t worth it.
He still didn’t know what consequences awaited him.
While James was caught up in his thoughts, the door opened and Felix strode in. James immediately rushed forward, pleading, "Assistant Ford, I really know my mistake. Please let me go."
Felix glanced at him coldly, "You truly know you’ve erred?"
"Yes, yes!" James was initially testing him with his request but now, hearing Felix’s tone, it seemed he had a chance to be freed?
He pleaded even more desperately.
He said all the kind words he could, lowering his stance to the ground.
After a while, Felix appeared moved, saying, "Alright, since you’ve acknowledged your mistake, I’ll release you now."
Thus, James was freed. Even now, he couldn’t quite believe he hadn’t been penalized at all.
Recalling his recent misfortune, James snorted softly.
He was now going to find Sierra Sinclair to settle the score!
