Bryan Hawkins didn't insist, so he first poured a small bowl of soup, blew on it to cool it, and only after he was sure it wasn't too hot, brought it to Carolline Ruiz's mouth, "Go ahead and drink."
Carolline Ruiz gulped it down; the chicken soup was rich without being greasy, and absolutely delicious.
She found that swallowing still hurt her neck, so after finishing the small bowl, Carolline Ruiz said she didn't want any more.
Bryan Hawkins understood and set the bowl aside, continuing to stay with them.
"By the way, Carolline Ruiz, do you have your phone? Call Mia Parker. I was supposed to go to the TV station with her today, but obviously, I can't now." Ben Parker, having remembered something, said to Carolline Ruiz.
"My phone?" Carolline Ruiz thought for a moment, not knowing where her phone was, so Bryan Hawkins handed her his.
