A Familiar Taste

Needless to say, it would be the best if the person who wanted to kill Felix was not Jayden. If Jayden was really the mastermind, Silvia was willing to accept the punishment with him. "If someone has to pay for it, it should be Jayden, and not you. You shouldn't interfere in our matters." Felix's heart ached and his breathing was starting to get a little heavy. Silvia, who used to only protect him, was now standing against him. She was protecting another man with her own life. Felix thought that it was ridiculous. Silvia said, "Felix!" Felix waved his hand and said, "Silvia, I'm feeling a little tired now. I need to rest. You should go home." Silvia was worried. "Felix, how's your body?" Felix smiled and said, "I'm fine." He looked pale, so how could he be fine? However, in order not to make her worry, he still refused to tell her anything. This was how her Felix was! "Go home, Silvia." "Felix, can I come visit you often?" "You don't have to do that... I have Alina to take care of me." "But Felix, how did Alina end up with you?" Speaking of Alina, Silvia remembered that Felix and Alina were only acquaintances. So why would he be with Alina now? Felix said, "She saved my life. If it weren't for her, I might have died. She's my life savior." It turned out that Alina had saved Felix. Silvia suddenly thought that Alina was not as annoying anymore. Silvia was thankful that she had saved Felix.  "Felix..." "Silvia, go home. Just pretend that you didn't hear anything today and live the life you want. Don't think too much about it, okay?" Felix escorted Silvia to the door. "And don't tell anyone that you've seen me." "Why..." Silvia wanted to ask why, but she suddenly recalled what Alina had told her. Alina told her that she must not tell Jayden that Felix was still alive. Even if she could not prove that Jayden was the one behind Felix's abduction, she must not tell anyone about it until she had found the real culprit. She had to ensure Felix's safety. "Silvia, do you still not believe that Jayden is not the person who wanted to kill Felix? If you don't believe me, then go ask Jayden what he did behind your back." Just as Silvia was about to open the door and leave, Alina came out of her room and said those things to her. "Felix, you should go get some rest, I'll head back home first. I'll come visit you some other day again." Silvia ignored Alina, but she heard everything Alina had said to her. That's right, she must not only listen to one side of the story. She should go to Jayden and clarify the situation. She wanted to know if Jayden was involved in Felix's incident. Felix clenched his fists tightly as he watched Silvia leave. He thought that Silvia would definitely return to his side once she heard that Jayden was the one responsible for his injuries. However, it seemed that this was just another wishful thinking. At this moment, Felix was almost certain that Silvia would never return to his side anymore. "Silvia, oh, Silvia!" He had loved her for so many years. From the time when she was still a baby, he was already by her side, taking care of her. He watched her grow up little by little and watched her following him around all day. He treasured her and even thought of marrying her after her graduation. But now, everything was ruined. Her heart no longer belonged to him. "Everything seems to be different from what we've expected." Alina murmured. As soon as she commented, Felix gave her a piercing gaze. "It's none of your business!" After shouting at Alina, Felix went back to his room. Alina was left alone, quietly swallowing the bitterness that only she could feel. ...... At West Side. The medical team that Kevin Kyle hired had already arrived. Together with Carson York, they studied Jayden's current condition and finally came to a conclusion. They could reduce the fever and get his condition under control for the time being, but it would all depend on Jayden himself whether he could fully recover from the illness. The gunshot wound did not only leave a physical wound on Jayden's body, but also a mental shackle. As long as it was not shattered, Jayden would never be able to recover from it. Several internationally-renowned doctors were gathered here. However, because of Jayden's resistance to the treatment, all they could do at present was to bring down his fever and wait for him to wake up. Other than that, they did not know what else could be done. Kevin and the doctors were having a discussion in the study while Karen Daly accompanied Jayden, who had just woken up. "Jayden, have some oatmeal first to fill your stomach." It was not just a plain oatmeal. It was a fruit oatmeal that Karen had personally cooked for Jayden. It was more tasty and nutritious than any other plain oatmeal but not too sweet for someone who had just woken up from a coma. Jayden took over the bowl of oatmeal and ate a spoonful. The taste was delicious and familiar. It had been a while since he last tasted it. He said, "Mom, this oatmeal is still as delicious as how I remembered it." When he was sick and had no appetite, his mother would cook this for him. Even if he had no appetite, he could still finish two full bowls of it. After so many years, he once again tasted the oatmeal that his mother had cooked for him. The love and care that his family had given him had warmed his heart. It seemed that this oatmeal did not only warm his stomach, but also his heart. Karen said with a smile, "If you like it, I can cook for you every day. No, I mean, you can just tell me what you want to eat, I'll cook all of them for you." "Mom, sorry for troubling you and Dad last night." In fact, it did feel quite good to have his parents by his side to take care of him when he was sick. Even though Jayden was already an adult and a well-known figure whom many people respected, he was still a child when he was with his parents. At this moment, he wanted to relax for a day and just be his parents' child. He did not want to think about anything else for the time being. "Jayden, how can you say that? You're sick, it's our job as parents to take care of you. How can you say that you're troubling us?" Karen reached out her hand to feel Jayden's forehead. "Your fever has finally subsided." Jayden's high fever would not subside the night before. Karen was so worried that she stayed by Jayden's side all night and did not get any sleep. She was worried that some other complications would flare up if his fever continued. Fortunately, the doctor that Kevin had hired arrived earlier than they had expected. After some discussion, they gave Jayden some medicine and got rid of the fever. Jayden smiled and said, "Thank you, Mom." Karen said, "Don't mention it. Well, you'd better eat it when it's still warm. I'll go get you more if this is not enough for you."
