Chapter 166: Wanted to Eat Meat!
She had been in coma since noon and had only just woken up. She had slept for seven to eight hours in total.
During these few hours, Franklin, Quinn and Mr. Hayes would come up every now and then to check on Lauren’s condition.
“You have no idea how worried Mr. Hayes was when he saw you.”
Lauren pursed her lips and said guiltily, “I’m sorry to make everyone worry.”
She had underestimated the difficultyi
of this mission and thought that it would be as easy as before.
It seemed that missions would only get more and more challenging.
“I will be more careful in the future!”
She had to put a lot of meat buns in the pocket dimension!
After two or three days, Lauren’s little face had indeed become a little sharper, and she looked weak.
“You should take a good rest now and take care of your body. Then, we won’t have to worry anymore. Lie down first and I’ll get Mr. Hayes to prepare some food for you.”
Lauren nodded obediently.
Everyone knew Lauren had woken up after Franklin went downstairs and told them. They all came up to see her.
The first one to come up was Mr. Hayes.
“Miss Lauren, you’re finally awake. I’ve already asked the kitchen to prepare some delicious food for you. What happened? Why did your body become so weak after you went to the church?”
Lauren reached out from under the blanket and held Mr. Hayes’ hand.
Mr. Hayes was the first person who brought her warmth in the Torres family. He was just like a grandfather to her.
“Mr. Hayes, I’m fine. It’s just that I had too much fun these past two days.”
Lauren stuck her tongue out at Mr. Hayes, trying to cover the real reason by acting coquettishly.
A maid even came up with a tablet.
“Miss Torres, you’ve missed a few episodes of the TV series over the past few days when you’re not around, so I brought a tablet up for you to catch up on the episodes.”
Soon, the bed was filled with people standing in front of Lauren.
Although Lauren was still feeling unwell, she felt warm inside.
There were so many people who missed her.
“Where’s my second brother? Why don’t I see him?”
Mr. Hayes was shocked when he heard Lauren call Quinn her second brother.
“Miss Torres, when did your relationship with Master Quinn become so good?”
Lauren did not know how to explain it.
“Well…he’s actually quite a nice person. I just played with him!”
Mr. Hayes smiled widely.
“That’s great!”
“Master Quinn received a call half an hour ago. He said that he was going back to the company to get a pendant or something.”
Lauren nodded, and her attention was immediately drawn to something else.
The kitchen staff worked rapidly. In less than fifteen minutes, they brought a few dishes to Lauren.
Lauren pursed her lips when she saw the dishes. It was not as lavish as what she had imagined.
“I want to eat meat!”
A bowl of plain white porridge was placed in front of her. There were also a few side dishes, with bits and pieces of meat mixed in them. It was a pitifully small amount of food.
Mr. Hayes looked at the aggrieved look on Lauren’s face and quickly comforted her.
“Miss Torres, your body is still very weak. You can only eat something light. Otherwise, you won’t be able to take it.”
Franklin chimed in, “That’s right. The doctor said that your stomach has not been digesting food properly for the past two days. So if you start having a lavish meal now, your stomach will not be able to take it. You can only start with some simple food and let your stomach readjust.”
Franklin relayed word for word what the doctor said to him to Lauren.
“Well, it’s good to have something to eat anyway.”
Lauren picked up a spoon and began to eat the porridge in big gulps.
Lauren had been hungry for too long. Surprisingly, she was even eating the porridge with relish.
She soon finished all the food.
“Are you full?”
Lauren nodded with a bright smile, then shook her head.
“Yes, I’m full, but I don’t feel like I’ve eaten anything.”
Lauren was right. She was a person who used to enjoy meat, but yet she did not eat any meat this time.
Although her stomach was full, her heart was empty.
“Tomorrow is Saturday, so I’m not going to work. If your body recovers tomorrow, I’ll take you out for a big meal.”
Hearing that there would be a big meal, Lauren’s eyes lit up and she quickly nodded her head.
After that, Lauren used her tablet to watch another episode of the TV series. Franklin then took the tablet away.
“The doctor said that you need to rest more and go to bed earlier.”
Lauren was also a little sleepy after eating her fill.
She obediently laid down and allowed Franklin to cover her with the blanket.
Perhaps it was because she had slept for too long in the afternoon, but Lauren was in a daze and could not fall asleep for a long time.
Just as she was tossing and turning, the door to her room was quietly opened again.
