Marcus asked somewhat sheepishly, "Did you make this meal?"
Sunny nodded, "Yeah, I made it. What’s up? Is there something wrong with it?"
"No!" Marcus, afraid Sunny might misunderstand, sat up excitedly and said repeatedly, "It’s amazing! I’ve never had such delicious food! Every bite is a delight."
Sunny didn’t expect her cooking to be praised, especially with such high accolades.
She modestly replied, "Thank you, it’s just a simple meal."
Marcus was moved and sincerely asked, "Could I ask you for a favor?"
"Sure, go ahead, I’ll help as much as I can."
Marcus said, "The fast food near the hospital is really bad. Could you make a bit more food each day? I’ll have a courier pick it up from you, and I’ll pay for everything, including the groceries. Please!"
Sunny didn’t expect anyone to make such a request, and she hesitated for a moment.
Although Marcus was severely injured and couldn’t clearly see facial expressions, his gaze was exceptionally sincere, without any mixed emotions or ill intentions, which made him seem trustworthy.
Sunny thought Marcus was someone Nina Sinclair knows, so he probably wasn’t a bad person.
"Okay." Sunny agreed.
Marcus nodded quickly in thanks, full of gratitude, "Can I add you as a contact?"
The two exchanged contact information, and it felt like they were acquainted.
After agreeing, Sunny didn’t linger much longer and promptly stood up to leave.
Sunny soon returned to her apartment.
Since she was delayed a bit, the food was already prepared, and everyone was waiting for her.
"Sunny, why are you only getting back now? If you hadn’t come back soon, we were planning to go look for you."

Everyone quickly sat down to eat.
Although it was just a simple meal, they all ate happily, until late at night when Nina Sinclair and Julian Lancaster finally got up to leave.
After returning home, Nina looked up at Julian and asked, "Do you want to shower first, or should I go first?"
Julian’s deep eyes suddenly dimmed.
He couldn’t help but picture some intimate and fiery scenes; Nina’s allure was simply too strong, making her words feel like an invitation.
"You go first; I’ll come in a bit," Julian said lightly.
"Oh, I’m going then."
Nina, not noticing the fleeting darkness in his eyes, went back to her room to grab clothes.
Watching Nina’s figure disappear from view, Julian’s lips curled into a smile.
Nina entered the bathroom.
Just as she was about to lock the door, a tall silhouette forced its way in. She looked up and saw Julian’s handsome face, puzzled, she asked, "What’s up? Do you need anything?"
At this moment, Nina had not yet realized the situation wasn’t safe; she thought Julian had something to discuss.
The man reached back and closed the door.
Upon hearing the bathroom door lock, Nina suddenly clicked into realization.
Unsettled, she asked, "What do you want to do? Didn’t you say I should shower first? Why are you closing the door?"
