The Ultimate Cure: A New Husband Chapter 409
Hearing Luther's voice, Adriana looked up."I'm much better. What are you doing here?"Luther explained with a smile, "I was having dinner at the Este residence tonight. When I saw Cesco there, I figured you might be bored alone, so I came to keep you company.""It's fine. I'm watching a movie. You should head back and rest."Luther walked over to the bedside and glanced at her tablet screen from the side."I've got nothing to do at home anyway. What are you watching? Mind if I join you?""A Mitalian movie. I'm using it to study Mitalian.""Oh, I love this movie. I'll watch it with you."His gaze was open and sincere. The words Adriana had been about to refuse quietly died in her throat.She placed the tablet on the table. Luther pulled a chair over for her, and they sat side by side, watching and discussing the plot as the film played.They were so absorbed that neither of them noticed when Francesco arrived.Standing at the door, he watched the two of them sitting together

Adriana touched her stomach, which was already growling with hunger, and decided to head to the hospital cafeteria for a meal.She stood up and limped toward the door. Just as she pulled it open, she collided straight into Francesco."Didn't you go home?" she asked.Francesco frowned and looked down at her leg. "Where are you going?""To eat," Adriana pouted, her tone unconsciously carrying a hint of grievance. "I'm hungry."Only then did she notice the food container in his hand."You went to get food for me?""I ate at the restaurant and packed some for you," he replied flatly."Thank you."Adriana turned around and limped back to the table to sit down again.She didn't care where the food came from, as long as she wasn't left hungry.Francesco opened the food container and placed the dishes out one by one.After a glance, Adriana couldn't help but say, "Wow. These are all my favorites. You even remember what I like. Not completely heartless, I guess.""Just eat," France

"Get on," Francesco said.Adriana climbed onto his back, resting her chin lightly on his shoulder."Thank you, Francesco."His tone remained cold and detached. "Don't read too much into it. I would've done the same for anyone.""I know," Adriana said softly. "That's why I'm thanking you—for being a good person."Because Francesco was, at his core, a good man—even if he had been hypnotized into hating her, he still couldn't bring himself to truly do anything excessive to her."Don't celebrate too soon," Francesco said in a low, muffled voice. "That snake was highly venomous. You're not out of danger yet."He carried her back to the car and called Luther.Before long, Luther arrived with Bianca.The moment Bianca heard that Adriana had been bitten by a snake, tears immediately welled up in her eyes."Adriana… are you going to die?""Don't worry," Francesco replied lightly. "Troublemakers tend to live long lives."Francesco's words were sharp, but his movements were anything b

Adriana lifted her eyes to Francesco, somewhere between exasperated and amused.There was no way she could possibly finish so much. Without hesitation, she split the overflowing plate of barbecue in half and handed one portion to Luther.It was a perfectly ordinary gesture, but to Francesco, it carried a different meaning entirely—it became proof of her "generosity" toward everyone.In Heatherton City, she had eaten with Oliver. Here, she was sharing barbecue with Luther. It seemed she took good care of every man's appetite.Luther tasted a piece of pork belly and gave a thumbs-up."Not bad, Cesco. Didn't know you had this skill. But compared to Adriana's cooking, it's still a little lacking."Francesco smiled faintly, his meaning unclear."Is it the person who's lacking, or the taste?"Adriana caught the implication in his words. A faint discomfort rose in her chest, but with Luther and Bianca present, she said nothing."Sit down and eat. I'll grill instead."She took the to

With that, Francesco turned and left the living room.Suzie stomped her foot in fury and cursed under her breath through gritted teeth."What's so special about that bitch Adriana? Why does everyone revolve around her? Mitaly is my territory. I refuse to let her steal all the attention!"…The campsite Luther chose was a grassy field beside a crystal-clear river.As he set up the barbecue grill, he smiled and said, "Adriana, I wonder if I'll be lucky enough to try authentic barbecue from your hometown?""Leave it to me."Adriana checked the ingredients Luther had prepared. There was everything from meat to vegetables, even authentic barbecue seasoning.Watching her skillfully grill the food, Luther teased Francesco."You usually have no interest in activities like this. Did you only come here to freeload food and drinks?""I just don't feel comfortable leaving Bianca alone with you."Bianca asked honestly, "What's there to worry about? Luther's way better than you."At leas

Adriana and Bianca went downstairs and found Luther waiting there.Bianca asked, "Luther, what are you doing here?"Luther smiled warmly. "I came to visit your uncle. You all went to Heatherton City to have fun, so why didn't you bring me along?""Cesco decided to go at the last minute," Bianca explained. "Next time, we'll definitely take you.""It's a deal." Luther turned to Adriana. "The trip must've exhausted you, huh?"Unlike Francesco's cold, distant beauty, Luther was handsome in a bright, sunny way—easygoing and approachable."I'm alright. Thanks for asking.""My family's chocolate factory just developed a new flavor," Luther said as he picked up two gift boxes from the table and handed one to Bianca and the other to Adriana. "I brought some for you two to try. It's not available in the market yet.""Thank you, Luther! You're the best!"Bianca eagerly tore open the elegant packaging and took a huge bite of chocolate."So good! Adriana, try some too."Adriana tasted a

"I can keep investigating for you, if you'd like," Charlie offered.In truth, he could have followed the trail and uncovered whoever was behind it. But the matter might involve Adriana's privacy, so he chose not to pursue it further.Adriana thought for a moment. "Then I'll trouble you, Charlie. C

Francesco had actually recorded their conversation!Adriana's teeth itched with frustration. Truly, fate had a cruel sense of humor.Adriana: [What do you want from me?]The video he sent was clearly a threat.Francesco: [Come to the old place tonight for fencing, or this video will appear in yo

Francesco was supremely confident, moving without a shred of protective gear.Adriana tightened her grip on her sword, testing him with two tentative thrusts—both easily dodged by Francesco.His reflexes were lightning-fast, and soon he returned a strike of his own. Adriana couldn't evade it in ti
