And her slender bandaged arm was uncovered.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How could it be like this?&#8221; Worry crossed Kylee&#8217;s face, &#8220;Does it still hurt?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Grandma, it doesn&#8217;t hurt anymore. It&#8217;s okay!&#8221; In embarrassment, Audrey pulled down her sleeve.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Bryson is the one to blame. He didn&#8217;t tell me until he came back home at night.&#8221; Kylee pulled Audrey into the room, then turned around to spit at Bryson, &#8220;Close the door.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Silent, Bryson closed the door before walking in.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey took out two pairs of slippers.<\/p>\n<p>And one of them was obviously men&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>Knowing Bryson might come to her apartment again, she bought a pair of men&#8217;s slippers while shopping earlier today. But she didn&#8217;t expect him to come so soon.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing the brand-new slippers, Bryson curled up his lips.<\/p>\n<p>Kylee was still chattering to Audrey, &#8220;You should take care of yourself. Don&#8217;t hurt yourself again. Since your arm is injured, don&#8217;t get it wet. Don&#8217;t take a bath. Nor can you take heavy things. Otherwise, the wound might open.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey was touched to feel Kylee&#8217;s concern.<\/p>\n<p>She smiled at Kylee.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Grandma, I see.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kylee wanted to say something more, but she frowned as she sniffed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What is it?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Thinking of the instant noodles, Audrey looked behind as Kylee followed her gaze.<\/p>\n<p>Kylee&#8217;s look instantly changed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Instant noodles! How can you eat such junk food?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey felt somewhat guilty. She hurried to explain, &#8220;Well, because of my arm, I can&#8217;t cook. So, I&#8230;.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Audrey, go home and we can cook for you. Instant noodles are harmful to health.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey was awkward, &#8220;Grandma, I only eat once in a while. It doesn&#8217;t matter.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It does!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kylee took the noodles and headed to the kitchen. Without hesitation, she dumped it into the trash can.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey bit back her words.<\/p>\n<p>She could only watch the trash can and felt sorry.<\/p>\n<p>That was her dinner!<\/p>\n<p>Kylee turned to Audrey.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Elliana, do you have any noodles?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes, I have some in the second drawer of the cabinet. Grandma, why are you asking this?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You can&#8217;t eat instant noodles. I&#8217;ll cook real noodles for you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There were eggs in the corner of the kitchen and some vegetables beside them. It was enough to cook noodles with eggs and vegetables.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey was so flattered to hear Kylee was about to cook for her that she hurried into the kitchen,<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Grandma, I can cook the noodles myself. You go rest.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kylee gently pushed her aside.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re injured now. Wait outside. I&#8217;ll soon finish it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey was lost for words.<\/p>\n<p>Neither of them could convince the other. Audrey had no choice but give up.<\/p>\n<p>She walked out and her face darkened as she saw the man sitting on the sofa at leisure.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mr. Bryson, why did you tell Grandma I&#8217;m injured?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Grandma found the bloodstain on my shirt. She thought I was injured. I told her it wasn&#8217;t me. But she questioned so closely that it just slipped out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey was speechless.<\/p>\n<p>Her own grandmother had cooked for her as well, and they tasted the same.<\/p>\n<p>A lump came into her throat.<\/p>\n<p>Sensitive, Kylee looked at Audrey with concern.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Elliana, what&#8217;s wrong? Is it too hot? Or does it taste bad?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey looked up with a smile.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No, Grandma. It&#8217;s delicious,&#8221; Audrey stated, &#8220;it&#8217;s just that Grandma hasn&#8217;t cooked for me for a long time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As she spoke, she gently wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Kylee&#8217;s eyes turned red as she stroked Audrey&#8217;s face.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Good girl, grandma is always willing to cook for you. Tell me anytime you want to eat, okay?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Alright.&#8221; Audrey grinned.<\/p>\n<p>Kylee gazed at her with affection, &#8220;Alright, don&#8217;t be sad. Eat now. The noodles will get cold.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Okay.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bryson, who was sitting opposite Audrey, had seen through her.<\/p>\n<p>According to the information he collected, Audrey&#8217;s grandmother had passed away, and Audrey was exactly the one whom her grandmother loved the most.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey must have thought of her grandmother.<\/p>\n<p>Her grandmother died from an accident that happened to Audrey when she was little.  And the Munn family kept the accident a secret. Later, without her grandmother&#8217;s protection, Audrey was sent abroad alone.<\/p>\n<p>Toby Munn must be really ruthless. Or how could he put his own daughter in such a situation?<\/p>\n<p>In those years abroad, no one could imagine how hard it was for Audrey to survive and make it to where she was now.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing her sorrowful look, Bryson squinted.<\/p>\n<p>From now on, he promised, he would not let anyone hurt her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3356","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3356","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3356"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
