All Chapters of Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO: Chapter 2411 - Chapter 2420

“What’s wrong?”Maria turned to look at Mary, not quite understanding what she meant.As far as she could tell, she had not done anything unusual. She had only come to cook a simple meal. There should not be any problem with that.“Miss Mills, you can leave all of this to me.”Mary sounded anxious.“If you start doing these things yourself, it makes me feel useless. Then what role do I even have in this household?”Maria burst out laughing.“You don’t need to worry about that. I’m only cooking once in a while. Just keep doing the work you’re responsible for.”“I have a… well, a friend who’s sick, so I’m cooking for him. He likes the food I make.”Mary finally understood.“Oh, I see. I thought you didn’t need me anymore.”Mary patted her chest in relief.She had been worried that if Maria started cooking herself, she might decide to dismiss her entirely.And if she lost this job, what kind of work could she find at her age?To be honest, working for Maria was quite comfortable.At the v

Philip assumed it was just a doctor or nurse coming in for their routine night check.That was exactly why he disliked staying in the hospital.He felt like he had no privacy at all.Every time he was hospitalized, it felt as though he had become completely transparent.Philip frowned instinctively.He felt he should speak to the doctors and nurses here and ask them not to come in for checks in the middle of the night.Besides, his condition had already stabilized. Why did they need to check on him again and again?It was too disruptive to his sleep.Just as Philip turned over, planning to ignore the doctors and nurses, he suddenly sensed that something was off.Because the person who had entered was moving quietly.Although the sounds were faint, it was clear that someone was moving around in the room.Before Philip could speak, his nose caught a familiar smell.“Why does that smell so familiar?”Philip murmured instinctively.Maria felt a surge of excitement.“Philip, are you awake?”

Maria’s face lit up with a bright smile.She was pleased that Philip could still recognize the dishes she had cooked.Back when she had worked in the Carter household, she had often cooked for him.At that time, Philip had been the one who praised her cooking the most.Those words of praise had helped her, a woman from the countryside, regain some confidence.In the beginning, she had never been so bold.She had not even dared to approach Philip.But after he encouraged her again and again, Maria began to realize she was not as worthless as she had once believed, at the very least, she could cook well.Because of that encouragement, she slowly discovered that she did have something to offer.If Philip knew she had interpreted things that way, he would probably be furious.Back then, he had simply thought Maria was attractive, and her cooking really was excellent, she just lacked confidence.That was why he had often commented on her dishes.After all, he genuinely enjoyed the food she

She reached out to pat Philip’s back while pouring him a glass of warm water and setting it beside him.Philip had not eaten much that evening, and after several days in the hospital his appetite had been poor.Now that he was eating Maria’s cooking again, his appetite had returned in full force.After finishing the meal, Philip rubbed his stomach in satisfaction.In the end, he even offered Maria a brief comment.“Your cooking hasn’t declined at all.”“That’s wonderful, Philip!”Maria was thrilled. “Hearing you say that means a lot. I’ll cook for you again next time.”Philip did not know what to say, but he had the faint feeling that he had somehow fallen into her trap.Originally, he had not planned to eat a single bite.But now that he had started, bringing the matter to a clean end no longer seemed so simple.“We’ll see,” Philip replied vaguely.He had no intention of making any promises to Maria.The future was far too uncertain.“Alright, then I’ll bring you another meal tomorrow

Aurora had already guessed as much.But this was not something she could decide on her own.After all, Philip was Lucas’ grandfather and their elder.It was not something the younger generation could casually discuss.Lucas and Aurora pushed open the ward door and walked in.The moment they stepped inside, they saw Maria standing behind Philip, gently massaging his back.The two of them were chatting and laughing, the scene strangely harmonious.At the sight of it, Lucas was furious.“What exactly are the two of you doing?”The sudden shout startled both Maria and Philip on the hospital bed.When Philip saw Lucas and Aurora, he felt a flicker of unease.“What are you two doing here?”The moment he said that, Philip realized something was off.His earlier uneasiness quickly turned into blunt irritation.“Didn’t I tell you not to come tonight? You two never listen to a word I say.”Philip glared at Lucas, his tone sharp. “Lucas, is this how I raised you? Since when did you stop respectin
