Chapter 497

Anton patted my back and frowned, saying, “Your clothes are all sweaty. I brought you some food. You eat first, and I’ll go find a nurse to get you a clean hospital gown.”

He went out as soon as he finished speaking.

I stared blankly at the small table by the window, where there were two thermos boxes.

I walked over, opened the insulated lunch box, and a wave of delicious food aroma immediately hit my nose, stirring up the glutton in my stomach.

I quickly put the lid on and waited for Anton to come back.

Anton quickly came over, holding two sets of new hospital gowns in his hands.

He looked at me sitting by the window in a daze, and couldn’t help but pause: “Why haven’t you eaten? Is the food I made not tasty?”

I shook my head and said, “I wanted to wait for you to eat together.”

Anton smiled at me and said, “No need, I have already eaten. You go ahead.”

He gave me the new hospital gown and said, “Go change your clothes first before eating.”

I nodded and took the hospital gown, walking towards the bathroom.

I just had a nightmare, I almost don’t remember it anymore.

I vaguely remember dreaming about Winston, dreaming of him pleading with a mournful voice.

When I came out after changing my clothes, Anton was sitting by the window waiting for me.

He helped me open the insulated lunch box and smiled at me, saying, “I remember you used to love eating smoked spare ribs with honey when you were young. It’s been so many years, I bet your taste hasn’t changed.”

I walked past silently, the food in the insulated box still steaming hot; the smell of smoked spare ribs with honey was very fragrant.

Anton opened another thermos; inside was chicken soup. He poured a bowl for me with a small bowl, and then handed it to me.

I took a sip and felt much warmer all over, and the scare I had just experienced in the elevator had also dissipated a bit.

I looked up at Anton.

Anton suddenly tilted his head and smiled at me, saying, “What’s up? It seems like you have something to tell me.”

After a pause, he chuckled to himself, “Don’t worry, I’m not angry. Everyone has the right to like someone else, and I have no right to interfere with you.”

“If you like Reynaldo, then go ahead and like him. But when one day, you remember the time we spent together, and if you still say you like Reynaldo, then I will give up.”

I pursed my lips and said, “What I want to tell you is not about this.”

Anton furrowed his brows slightly, and after a moment, as if guessing something, he chuckled and said, “You want to talk to me about Winston, don’t you?”

I nodded and said, “Did you call the police, right?”

Anton suddenly chuckled, “It seems like you don’t want me to call the police. Why, feeling sorry for him?”

“No, it’s just…” I still shudder at the scene in the elevator just now.

I whispered, “I saw him when he was taken away by the police.”

Anton pursed his lips and remained silent.

I continued, “He was in a very bad condition, he even begged me, begged me to let you see him. The pleading look in his eyes when he begged me, I still can’t forget it.”

Anton averted his gaze and looked out the window, his tense profile revealing a hint of irritation.

He said, pulling his tie, “So, you want to be a persuader and convince me to go see him.”
