Rehmanniae soup, seafood fried rice, and his favorite red braised pork ribs, boiled bok choy—each dish was a feast for the eyes, stimulating the appetite.
Joseph Thompson sat quietly eating these meals in the restaurant, his mind preoccupied with Jaylene Ziel, and thinking about going back to the hospital early, he ate a little faster than usual.
After dinner, considering Jinna Evans might have caught a slight cold from the rain today, he kindly cleaned up the plates and spoons, then even took them to the kitchen area to wash.
Once he had done all of this, he inexplicably felt a little feverish. He thought it was because he had just eaten and had soup, and didn't pay it much mind. He naturally took off his coat.
Joseph Thompson noticed Jinna Evans was still not out of the bathroom after taking a shower. He lifted his wrist to check his watch—it had been half an hour.
