Chapter: 1435
�Haha, Seraphina, you�re overthinking. They�re just dumplings. How could they possibly replace you?�
Despite comforting her, Stefan couldn�t help but think. �Are these dumplings really from unknown sources?�
Still doubtful, Stefan intentionally headed to the hospital food court during dinner.
�I�d like some seafood dumplings,� he said to the staff through the window.
The staff was immediately confused upon hearing his order.
�Do you guys not have seafood dumplings?� Stefan asked again, emphasizing his words this time.
�No.� The staff glared at him as if he were a fool, pointing to the menu. �Everything�s on the menu. Order anything you want.�
Scanning through the piece of laminated paper, Stefan realized that it was, in fact, filled with foreign cuisine. There wasn�t a single dish originating from Aeos, let alone seafood dumplings.
�So that nurse was lying?�
Stefan returned to the main hospital building and found the nurse who delivered those dumplings to him every day.
�I think we need to talk.�
The nurse�s expression stiffened anxiously. �Mr. Hunt, what� what would you like to talk about?�
�You know why I�m here.�
�I don�t know. I don�t know anything at all.� The nurse shook her head, pretending to not understand. She knew exactly what Stefan wanted to talk about; he clearly wanted to know who had been giving him those dumplings.
However, she had promised Joan that she would take this secret to the grave. She took a divine vow, and � she couldn�t possibly tell him the truth.
�C�mon, be straight with me. Where did those dumplings come from? I�ll give you a handsome reward.� Stefan placed his hands in his pockets, speaking nonchalantly as if negotiating a deal.
�No way!� The nurse shook her head. �I swore to God that I won�t tell you.�
�It�s fine! Just donate some money to Him. I�m sure He�ll forgive you.�
�Oh! What blasphemy! Please stop asking! I can�t tell you.� The nurse quickly ran off after saying a prayer.
She then found Renee, who was smoking underneath the stairwell. The nurse panicked as she said,
�Hey, I finally found you! I�m so sorry, but I can�t help you anymore!�
�What�s wrong?� Renee calmly breathes out a beautiful swirl of smoke.
�Mr. Hunt and Miss Murphy are starting to feel suspicious about your dumplings, especially Miss Murphy! She thinks I made them for Mr. Hunt to seduce him! So you have to either tell them the truth or stop sending him those dumplings,� the nurse sincerely advised.
�Alright then, let�s stop.� Renee accepted this nonchalantly. Since Seraphina was out of danger, the man shouldn�t be so anxious that he wouldn�t eat or sleep. Hence, the dumplings weren�t required in his current situation anymore.
�By the way, Joan� Do you know them? What�s your relationship with them? Don�t tell me you have a crush on Mr. Hunt?� The nurse couldn�t help but pry. JrNovels.com
