Semua Bab She Wows the World Post-divorce: Bab 201 - Bab 210

On their way downstairs, Bryce held her while walking carefully. He was afraid of her falling down.Holly felt like he was making a mountain out of a molehill. However, she couldn't convince him to stop.It was Bryce's first time being a father, after all. This was new to him.Perhaps his eagerness would subside after a few days.They went into the dining room.Leitia had prepared a spread.Pumpkin soup, steamed vegetables, dumplings, a cake, some milk, and some fruits sat on plates and dishes on the table.Leitia wiped her hands on her apron, welcoming them.She was holding a spoon. With a smile, she said, "These are all prepared according to the menu that Mr. Gabelman provided. You can make a list of things you'd like to eat and give it to me."Holly looked at the food on the table and smiled. "This is good. They're all my favorite foods."Leitia beamed.Holly sat down.Bryce took a spoonful of the soup and brought it to her lips.Holly frowned. "You don't have to do thi

A week later, as golden sunlight streamed in through the windows of the Habel residence, Trevor sat in his spacious, elegant dining room, eating breakfast with Edna.Trevor was a local. His breakfasts were typically on the savory side.He loved having meat-filled gyozas and oxtail soup. Paired with some chili sauce and garlic oil, it was enough to make anyone's mouth water.He ate two gyozas one after another. Then, he stabbed another one in the middle and began eating it.As he ate, he suddenly felt that the gyozas felt oilier than usual.The soup tasted greasier the more he drank it, too.He asked, "Are these from our regular shop? Why is it so greasy?""It's the same shop." Edna passed him a cup of hot tea. "I've told you so many times that we're old now. We can't be eating greasy stuff all the time, but you never listen. Here, have some tea."Trevor held it up to his lips and took a sip.It tasted sour and sweet. It was a pretty nice drink.He asked curiously, "What tea i

Trevor was in a deep sleep when Bryce called.Edna was still awake. She lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.Then, she heard the vibrations from Trevor's phone. A thrill went through her veins.Trevor's phone was charging in the living room. She hurriedly put on her clothes and got out of bed.She held up the phone and saw Bryce's name on the screen.It felt like she'd picked up a hot coal with her bare hands. She dropped the phone.The phone landed on the floor with a thud. It didn't break and kept on vibrating.Edna bent over hurriedly and picked it up. It didn't feel right to hang up.She could turn off the phone, but she felt guilty about doing it.After a long pause, she reluctantly decided to pick it up.Bryce said lightly, "What happened to Holly today at work, Trevor?"Edna was silent. She quickly came up with something to say. "Oh, it's you, Bryce. Trevor is asleep. Is something the matter? Why are you calling in the middle of the night?" she sa

"Alright. I promise," Bryce said, fixing his dark eyes on Holly.He said firmly but gently, "You have to be strong. Hang in there."There was a great deal of heartache behind those simple words.Holly was digging her nails into the table. She gritted her teeth, nodding.Although she looked so weak and fragile, she had a determined expression on her face. That made Bryce's heart ache even more.He stared at her very intently. At that moment, it seemed like he was placing all of his hopes on her.After that, he opened the door and walked out.He was afraid he wouldn't be able to leave if he stayed.Once outside, he took off his sterile scrubs and called Tobin. "When will the results come out?"Tobin looked at his watch, then at the police hard at work. "We have to wait for the shop assistants to arrive. Their fingerprints and footprints will all be examined. "Mrs. Gabelman's mug has been taken to the lab for testing. The quickest we can get it is probably tomorrow morning.""

Meanwhile, in the hospital, Holly was no longer in critical condition. After sunrise, she lay in her hospital bed.Tocolytics were fed into her system with an IV drip. Because of the drugs at work, Holly's heartbeat was faster than normal. She couldn't quite catch her breath.She didn't want Bryce to worry. She bore with the pain, lying down with a calm expression on her face.She had to stay in the hospital for a few days like that to protect her baby. She would only be discharged after her condition was stabilized.But at least, she was no longer in grave danger.Both of them were relieved. Bryce, especially.With the baby safe, Holly would stay with him.Holly grew hungry. She craved mashed potatoes.Bryce got someone to buy it for her at once.Once the mashed potatoes were delivered, he tasted them to ensure they weren't poisoned. Then, he took the spoon so that he could feed her."I can do it myself." Holly sat up, reaching out for the bowl.She was never brought up spo
