Chapter 1577: There’s Definitely Something Fishy

“Alright, you wait here, I’ll go buy it.” Seeing him look so aggrieved with tears in his eyes, Scarlett Yates couldn’t help but chuckle.

“No way.” Knox Simmons continued to firmly grasp her wrist, refusing to let go. “You stay here, I’ll have someone go and buy it for us.”

After speaking, he quickly pushed the red button by the bed, seemingly worried Scarlett might refuse.

Soon, a nurse came over.

Knox Simmons issued his order as if it was the most natural thing in the world: “Go buy some porridge now.”

The nurse paused, first staring at Knox Simmons’ hand holding Scarlett’s wrist, feeling somewhat surprised. Then, she turned to look at Scarlett.

She thought Scarlett looked familiar but couldn’t immediately recall why.

Judging by their interaction, she guessed Scarlett might be one of Knox Simmons’ female companions.

“Young Master Knox, do you have a preference for where the porridge comes from?” This nurse was a specialist caregiver, responsible for Knox Simmons’ around-the-clock care.

Before Knox Simmons could respond, Scarlett cheerfully said, “I think the porridge from the hospital cafeteria is pretty good.”

In front of her, Knox Simmons acted unbelievably obedient. As soon as Scarlett spoke, he nodded and said, “Yes, let’s get it from the cafeteria then.”

The young nurse couldn’t help but glance at Scarlett again.

While looking, her expression suddenly changed, and her eyes showed a deeper meaning.

She finally remembered why this woman looked familiar; wasn’t she the intern nurse who once became a popular topic at Saint Mercy?

Scarlett had previously worked at Saint Mercy, although not for long, she gained attention after being assigned as the personal caregiver for the Saxon Family’s second young master soon after starting her internship.

The young nurse hadn’t interacted with her, but she recognized her.

Rumor had it that Scarlett was already married to Matthew Saxon, and was now the Young Madam of the Saxon Family.

Just an hour ago, this Young Master Knox wouldn’t even utter a word, let alone eat.

Even the director’s sincere efforts to persuade him were in vain.

Now, with the arrival of the Saxon Family’s Young Madam, he seemed to have come back to life—no longer looking lifeless, his eyes were full of spirit, his complexion improved, he was willing to talk, and even agreed to eat.

Hmm…

The Saxon Family’s Young Madam was practically more effective than a miracle cure.

Yet the nurse felt there was something subtly off.

Even the esteemed director couldn’t do anything with this “sweetie” of a brother, so why did the Simmons Family’s young master obey the Saxon Family’s Young Madam so readily?

Moreover, between these two, one was already married, and yet they behaved so intimately.

There must be something fishy, definitely something fishy.

But she wouldn’t dare voice her doubts unless she was tired of working at Saint Mercy and wanted to be fired.

“Hold on a moment.”

Just when the nurse was about to reach the door, Knox Simmons called out to her again.

“Young Master Knox?”

“Make it two servings of porridge.”

The young nurse was very efficient, returning with porridge in about ten minutes.

Scarlett requested a mushroom chicken porridge, while Knox Simmons opted for a simple vegetable porridge.

After placing the porridge on the bedside table, the young nurse left.

Scarlett first helped Knox Simmons sit up properly before opening his vegetable porridge.

Knox Simmons truly had no appetite.

The spicy sauce he had yesterday had left him in a miserable state.

Even now, he felt his stomach burning as if it was on fire, his throat was dry and irritated, and no amount of water seemed to quench the dryness and itchiness.
