Chapter 4 - The hungry lioness

Minutes later, the bodyguard that Theo had instructed to get the food and sketching materials returned to the ward. Theo was satisfied with the delivery service he ordered from because of how efficient they were in service delivery.

Theo took the bag containing the items and went into the patient's room. The creaking sound of the door drew vivi's attention to it. When she saw Theo stepping in with bags with food brand logos on it. She beamed a lovely smile at Theo.

She had been wondering how long it will take for the food to arrive as her stomach had been grumbling unrepentantly.

She was very satisfied, it didn't take long. Theo was glad to see Vivi's beaming smile, he knew she must be starving combined with the fact she was a foodie.

Well it would be funny to accuse her of being a foodie as he was also guilty of the same crime. He and Vivi used to have eating competitions whenever they were free for fun and Vivi had never won him.

" Here are the items you requested for Mi lady" Theo joked as he was handing over the bags to Vivi.

Vivi who was a hungry lioness, snatched the bags from Theo's hands and started bringing out the items on her bed.

The speed at which she snatched the bag from Theo would leave anyone present puzzled at the fact if she was actually sick. ' She doesn't seem weak' Theo thought to himself as he watched his little sister exploring the bags like a newly discovered treasure.

" I did not get any spicy food as it won't be good for your health." Theo commented. Vivi's ears looked like it dropped, and her eyes looked teary. She never liked the thought of eating mild food as it doesn't excite he taste buds making it taste bland to her tongue. Why would her beloved brother get her mild food when he was aware of her preferences.

Theo could recognize Vivi's disappointed look because he had seen it many times," don't give me that look, you haven't had anything in your stomach for over a day and been replying on drips to sustain you. Don't you know that if you have spicy food it would hurt your stomach." he reminded Vivi's of her present condition.

Vivi frowned further at Theo's reminder, because he was right, but this seems like torture. She kept staring at the food in front of her like it was some kind of poison.

Theo saw all the complex emotions fleeting across Vivi's face, then continued " can you just start eating, I know you are smart enough to know you need food, and it isn't poison because it isn't spicy."

He took a spoon to scoop some soup? " See it is warm, I am sure you enjoy it or do you want me to feed you."

Vivi snatched the spoon from Theo, spilling the contents on him, then glared at him.

" I can feed myself, I am not a child." She said as she scooped some soup to put her mouth. The aroma of the soup wafted through her nose, and it wasn't bad but spelled wealthy and nutritious. She opened her mouth and took in the first spoon. Her eyes flew wide open at savory taste of the soup in her mouth. It tasted as delicious as the aroma, she slowly swallowed it to savor the taste better. It has a creamy and rich texture combined with its warm temperature and when she swallowed, it glided from her mouth through esophagus to her stomach, spreading it warmth.

' It isn't bad at all, so Theo was right, he wasn't trying to trick me.' She thought

After savoring the first taste of the soup, she started eating viciously eating the soup with other food items. They blended perfectly, having different tastes, aromas and textures. Theo made sure he selected very nutritious food that would be beneficial for her health.

Viviana didn't really mind her manners much as she starving and Theo was the only one in the room.

After finishing her meal, she felt drained rather than energized as she over ate. She saw her bulging stomach as a result of her large appetite and couldn't help but smile as she rubbed it.

Theo was pleased that Vivid's still had a very healthy appetite.

" Ok, since you are done eating, let me get dad immediately to come inside." Theo informed Vivi as he stood up from her bed where he was sitting.

" Wait, daddy is here, I thought you said he was busy with some calls." Vivi questions because she was confused.

" Yeah he was busy with calls earlier as I said, but he is done now. He came back minutes ago with David. I did want to inform you because I know you wouldn't have enjoyed your meal if you knew. The moment you heard he was here, you wouldn't care to eat a thing until all your questions had been answered." 

Viviana chuckled because he was right again, what he described was undoubtedly how she would have reacted. At times, she wonders whether Theo has some mind reading abilities because he always guesses her thoughts accurately, and it gives her goose bumps at times. Why can her elder brother easily predict get so weak.

Theo opened the room door and called out to get his father's attention, "Dad". Lorenzo, who was actually talking to his assistant, David, attention, was immediately drawn to Theo's voice because he wasn't really paying attention to the reports David was giving him because his was anxiously waiting for Vivi to finish eating before he talked to her. He had to answer all the questions on his curious children's minds to satisfy their curiosity.

" Handle the rest of the details and email the remaining reports to me. I would go through them later and give you further instructions."Lorenzo instructed his Assistant, who he left to go to Vivi's room. He was sure that Theo called out for because Vivi was done eating.

When he walked up to Theo. He in Informed Lorenzo " she is already done eating and waiting for you."Lorenzo humped to acknowledge Theo. Then entered the room with him.
