Chapter 37

The next day, Phoebe made oatmeal and omelets for her group. Sienna, however, accidentally overslept and didn’t make breakfast. They decided to go to the helper’s place to eat.

Jamar had an IV drip last night, and today he was no longer throwing up or having diarrhea. But he looked weak and pale. So, Reece suggested that he rest in the yard.

Jamar propped himself up to see them off. Then he spotted Phoebe’s group enjoying their oatmeal and omelets, looking satisfied. He had no appetite at first, but the aroma of the oatmeal and omelets made him suddenly hungry. Phoebe didn’t even glance his way, let alone invite him to join. That stung even more. He suddenly remembered that while they were off having breakfast with villagers, he was left to fend for himself.

He felt a wave of disappointment wash over him, and he looked a bit lost, tugging at his fans’ heartstrings. Phoebe glanced at Jamar and silently cursed him for being so pathetic.

Sienna was used to being spoiled by her family and brothers, always taking without giving. She didn’t even think about how Jamar would be left hungry while they went out. But Jamar’s disappointment was none of Phoebe’s concern; she wasn’t going to worry about him now.

Reece noticed Jamar’s expression and asked, “Hey, Jamar, didn’t your precious sister make you breakfast?” He added for effect, “You were up all night sick and got an IV, and she didn’t even make you some oatmeal! Didn’t she even keep you company while you were getting the drip?”

This guy is getting more annoying by the minute: Jamar shot him a glare. “I just don’t have an appetite.”

Reece continued pointedly, “No appetite or not, you should still have some oatmeal to warm your stomach. For your sister’s sake, you got sick, but she just left you hanging. Such deep sibling love, huh?”

Phoebe must have had her fair share of trouble from Sienna while living in the Jenkins family. She had been criticized by Jamar’s family before, and now Reece was deliberately exposing Sienna’s sweet-sister image to see how it held up, and whether Jamar’s fans would find it awkward.

Jamar’s expression stiffened. Hearing Reece say that made Jamar wonder why Sienna hadn’t made him food. Does she really forget? Or does she just not care about me as a brother? In the past, when he had stomach issues, Phoebe would come all the way from the city just to make him food.

“No, I can’t keep comparing,” Jamar shot Reece a glare. “I said I don’t have an appetite.” Then he quickly left the yard and headed back to his room, worried Reece would hurt him even more.

Jamar’s fans were feeling increasingly frustrated with Sienna because of Reece’s comments, especially seeing Jamar’s pale and haggard appearance. [Marr looks terrible. How could Sienna not make him any food? He got an IV last night, and she didn’t even stay with him. Marr got sick because he wanted to eat her cooking. How can she do this?]

I’m so disappointed in Sienna. It’s always Marr giving, but she never seems to care much for him. [Yeah, Marr spoils her so much, and this is how she repays him? So selfish.]

Meanwhile, Sienna and her group went to help a family pack vegetables. While there, they asked if they could buy breakfast, and the family cooked them some spaghetti for free.

As Erika ate the steaming, decent-tasting spaghetti, she felt like crying.

Chapter 37

In the past, she would’ve turned her nose up at such food, but now she was just grateful for a normal meal. She was scared of Sienna. She suddenly had an idea and looked at Sienna in front of the camera. “We’re out here, and I wonder what Junar is eating in the yard. Should we ask the family to make him some spaghetti and send it to him?”

Hearing this, Sienna finally realized she had forgotten to prepare breakfast for her brother. With servants at home, she had been exhausted yesterday and overslept this morning. She was too focused on how to perform well while working and overlooked her brother.

She cursed Erika in her mind for being so talkative. But on the surface, she acted like she knew what she was talking about. Jamar usually doesn’t eat breakfast after being sick like that. He’ll just throw it up again. No need to send him spaghetti. If he eats and throws up, he’ll feel worse. I’ll ask them to make him some oatmeal at noon and send it over.

Of course, that was just an excuse to cover up her forgetfulness. Otherwise, they might get scolded by Jamar’s fans watching the live stream.

Erika wasn’t convinced but didn’t press the issue. “Alright then.”

In the yard, Phoebe and her group were set to help a villager extract…

After finishing breakfast and cleaning up, they prepared to head out. As Phoebe was leaving, she suggested to the director, “With Jamar’s condition, he really needs something in his stomach. You should have someone make him some oatmeal.” She wasn’t genuinely concerned for Jamar; she just wanted to contrast herself with Sienna.

Knowing Sienna’s personality, if someone brought up breakfast, she’d definitely make excuses, claiming Jamar wouldn’t keep food down. Then Phoebe would expose her lies.

The director, not wanting any trouble with Jamar, agreed, “Sure.” He arranged for an assistant to make oatmeal. Once it was ready, the assistant brought it to Jamar’s room.

Feeling both nauseous and hungry, he gratefully accepted the oatmeal. He didn’t throw up again. When he heard the assistant mention that Phoebe had suggested they make oatmeal, he felt a mix of emotions. So, even when he was feeling terrible, he still craved someone’s care. Hope blossomed in him. Phoebe still thinks of me as her brother when she asked the crew to make oatmeal for me?

After finishing the oatmeal, Jamar took his medicine and drifted off to sleep feeling better without any more nausea. This made the viewers watching the live stream think even less of Sienna. She had clearly forgotten to make oatmeal for Jamar and didn’t seem to care about his health. To cover herself, she even turned down Erika’s offer to send spaghetti, despite Jamar pampering her so much.

Look at Jamar, he was clearly hungry. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have eaten two bowls of oatmeal. And after eating, he didn’t have any bad reactions. Instead, the oatmeal helped him take his medicine.

Jamar’s fans began to lose their affection for Sienna, feeling increasingly irritated by her actions. Her concern for Jamar was even less than Phoebe’s, who often clashed with Jamar. With this comparison, Jamar felt that the hurt he experienced was even greater. Not only did his fans express their disappointment with Sienna… (The final sentence is incomplete and uncorrectable without further context).
