Free Web NovelChapter 236: Chapter 236: The Young Girl’s Safety Is a Heavenly Blessing
A flicker of pleasant surprise crossed Jasper Shaw’s face, but it vanished just as quickly.
They walked to the main dining hall together, where the manager immediately hurried out with a menu, his face a mask of deliberate flattery.
Jasper Shaw took the menu. To Chloe Sinclair’s surprise, he didn’t let her order this time. Instead, he ordered a few dishes himself before handing it back to the manager.
But once all the dishes arrived, a flicker of confusion crossed Chloe’s face.
There weren’t many dishes, but they all shared a common trait: they were meant to be blood-enriching.
Chloe held her chopsticks, unsure of where to begin.
Seeing her hesitation, Jasper Shaw wordlessly placed a piece of duck blood into Chloe’s bowl. "Eat this." ƒreewebɳovel.com
Chloe looked at the duck blood in her bowl, saying nothing.
A rare hint of guilt appeared on Jasper Shaw’s face. He quickly served himself a piece of duck blood as well. "Eat up and get your strength back. You look like you’ve lost weight recently."
After speaking, he took a bite himself.
After a long moment, he spoke slowly, "It’s not bad. Try some?"
Watching Jasper Shaw’s furrowed brow, a smile crept into Chloe’s eyes.
She knew very well that Jasper Shaw disliked eating this kind of food.
Mr. Shaw was wonderful in every way, except for being a picky eater.
Especially duck blood. In his last life, Jasper Shaw wouldn’t have touched it.
Chloe hesitated for a moment but didn’t refuse. She ate the duck blood in her bowl and then served Jasper Shaw another piece.
Raising an eyebrow, she looked at Jasper Shaw’s face and said, "In that case, Mr. Shaw should have some more."
Jasper Shaw’s expression changed in an instant. He glanced at Chloe, then down at the duck blood in his bowl, his good mood immediately souring.
He glanced over at Chloe, who had her head down and was eating, then secretly nudged the piece of duck blood to the bottom of his bowl, burying it.
Chloe saw it all.
She had never seen Jasper Shaw act like this. A hint of amusement flashed in her eyes, but she didn’t call Mr. Shaw out on his little act.
"I heard there was an accident at the lab some time ago?"
Halfway through the meal, Jasper Shaw suddenly spoke.
Chloe wasn’t surprised by this.
She already had her answer prepared. "Yes, it was a minor accident. It’s been resolved."
However, Jasper Shaw didn’t seem satisfied with this answer. He couldn’t help but say, "I know you were hospitalized."
Chloe paused. Looking at the dishes in front of her, she finally realized what was off.
Jasper Shaw had ordered this entire table of food just for her.
He hadn’t even shown her the menu, afraid she’d be picky.
When they were eating, Jasper Shaw had assumed Chloe disliked this food as much as he did, so he took the first bite himself to lead the way.
Connecting the dots, Chloe felt a mix of complicated emotions.
Seeing Chloe remain silent for so long, however, Jasper Shaw assumed she didn’t want to talk about it. His heart sank, and he wondered if he had upset her.
Just as he was about to apologize, she suddenly broke into a smile. She didn’t say anything specific, but the light in her eyes seemed to see right through everything.
"There really was a small accident with the experiment. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctors only discharged me after they said I was okay."
Jasper Shaw believed her on this point without a doubt.
After all, among the doctors who had examined her was Adrian Dalton.
He was therefore perfectly clear on Chloe’s medical condition.
And that was precisely how he knew just how dangerous the experiment Chloe had been involved in truly was.
Adrian Dalton had privately told him that for Chloe to survive, completely unscathed, was nothing short of a world miracle. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Worldwide, in cases of exposure to radioactive materials, there are almost no survivors.
The fact that she was safe was a blessing from heaven.
