Chapter 243

In the kitchen, Mrs. Hall was sorting, washing, and chopping vegetables while Michelle focused on stir-frying. Zeta Prime let out a weird little snicker. "Miss Michelle, your skills in the kitchen are right up there with our fairy girl. But really, you should let Zeta Prime take over this tough job." Michelle smiled softly, "Thanks, Zeta Prime, but I've got it." Zeta Prime ignored her and snatched the spatula from her hand. "Let me do it." The two started tugging at the spatula. Then came a sudden yelp. Zeta Prime froze. A ladle of hot shredded pork in garlic sauce had splashed right onto Michelle's chest. Tears welled up in Michelle's eyes instantly. Zeta lifted his mechanical hand, trying to flick off the food, but Michelle shrieked, "What are you doing?!" Right then, Jason rushed in. "What happened?" Michelle clutched her stained shirt, nose a little red. "It wasn't Zeta Prime's fault." Seeing her trying to hold in the pain made Jason's chest tighten. He turned to Zeta with a frown.
