Gabriel gazed at her calmly with a faint smile on his lips. "You look like such a devoted wife."
But Serenity glared at him in return. "You mean I didn't look like one before?"
"It's more like it now," said Gabriel seriously.
If it wasn't for the fact that he was a patient, Serenity would have pounced on and bit him.
When Mrs. Winstead came back with water, she saw that the two of them were still chatting and laughing, so she was relieved.
Serenity opened the thermos flask and poured a bowl of congee with century egg and pine nuts. She fed him some and waited for him to eat before feeding herself.
Mrs. Winstead didn't stay long before she left with the two thermos bottles she had brought earlier. Before she left, she even asked Serenity what they wanted to eat for lunch.
Since Gabriel's high fever had yet to subside, he could not eat oily food. Hence, she told Mrs. Winstead to do as she saw fit, as long as the food was light.
