Once they stepped out of the hospital, Lila’s phone started ringing.
Her mother’s voice cthrough the line. “Didn’t you say you were filing for divorce? What are you waiting for?
Alec is nothing but a burden to you. Are you really planning to take care of him for the rest of your life?”
Lila’s patience was wearing thin. “Please, Mom, I've had enough. He madetake care of his ill mother today.
It's infuriating.”
“What? Absolutely not! You need to leave him right away. After the divorce, you'll have no trouble finding
someone better. You're still young and pretty, after all.”
Lila ended the call in frustration and said to her son, “This day couldn’t get much worse. Let's just grab some
food and go home.”
Alec’s spirits were low as he and the bodyguard helped settle Joann into the VIP ward.
From her hospital bed, Joann managed to sound a bit stronger after her morning treatment. “Alec, I'm starving,”
she murmured, looking at her son. “All | had last night was sspaghetti, and | haven't eaten anything today. |
am so hungry. Could you getsomething to eat?”
The bodyguard shot Alec a look of open disdain, judging him for leaving his elderly mother hungry. “How could

these. Miss Harper brought them here.”
Flushed with embarrassment, Alec grumbled, “I'll let my daughter fire you soon!”
The bodyguard just chuckled, unbothered. “I'll be waiting.”
He carefully unpacked the food onto Joann’s bedside table, describing each dish with gentle patience.
“These are from Miss Harper. All your favorite dishes. It's been a while since you've had a meal like this, hasn't
it?”
Joann sighed internally at her son’s pathetic state right now, being bullied even by a bodyguard.
She then picked up her fork. “The dishes all look wonderful.”

Later, Brenna stepped into the room and saw Joann savoring her meal. “Grandma, how's the food?”
Joann beamed at Brenna, her smile bright. “It’s delicious! | haven't tasted food this good in ages. There's still
plenty. Cjoin me. | can’t finish it all alone.” Brenna placed the medicine aside and smiled. “Alright, let's eat
together.”
Alec lingered nearby, unable to hide his longing. He hadn't eaten food from a nice restaurant for a long time, as
nice restaurants were well out of his budget because of his meager income.
