Chapter 25
Regardless of Bryson's presence, Kylee directly rolled up Audrey's loose sleeve. And her slender bandaged arm was uncovered.
"How could it be like this?" Worry crossed Kylee's face, "Does it still hurt?"
"Grandma, it doesn't hurt anymore. It's okay!" In embarrassment, Audrey pulled down her sleeve.
"Bryson is the one to blame. He didn't tell me until he came back home at night." Kylee pulled Audrey into the room, then turned around to spit at Bryson, "Close the door."
Silent, Bryson closed the door before walking in.
Audrey took out two pairs of slippers.
And one of them was obviously men's.
Knowing Bryson might come to her apartment again, she bought a pair of men's slippers while shopping earlier today. But she didn't expect him to come so soon.
Seeing the brand-new slippers, Bryson curled up his lips.
Kylee was still chattering to Audrey, "You should take care of yourself. Don't hurt yourself again. Since your arm is injured, don't get it wet. Don't take a bath. Nor can you take heavy things. Otherwise, the wound might open."
Audrey was touched to feel Kylee's concern.
She smiled at Kylee.
"Grandma, I see."
Kylee wanted to say something more, but she frowned as she sniffed.
"What is it?"
Thinking of the instant noodles, Audrey looked behind as Kylee followed her gaze.
Kylee's look instantly changed.
"Instant noodles! How can you eat such junk food?"
Audrey felt somewhat guilty. She hurried to explain, "Well, because of my arm, I can't cook. So, I...."
"Audrey, go home and we can cook for you. Instant noodles are harmful to health."
Audrey was awkward, "Grandma, I only eat once in a while. It doesn't matter."
"It does!"
Kylee took the noodles and headed to the kitchen. Without hesitation, she dumped it into the trash can.
Audrey bit back her words.
She could only watch the trash can and felt sorry.
That was her dinner!
Kylee turned to Audrey.
"Elliana, do you have any noodles?"
"Yes, I have some in the second drawer of the cabinet. Grandma, why are you asking this?"
"You can't eat instant noodles. I'll cook real noodles for you."
There were eggs in the corner of the kitchen and some vegetables beside them. It was enough to cook noodles with eggs and vegetables.
Audrey was so flattered to hear Kylee was about to cook for her that she hurried into the kitchen,
"Grandma, I can cook the noodles myself. You go rest."
Kylee gently pushed her aside. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
"You're injured now. Wait outside. I'll soon finish it."
Audrey was lost for words.
Neither of them could convince the other. Audrey had no choice but give up.
She walked out and her face darkened as she saw the man sitting on the sofa at leisure.
"Mr. Bryson, why did you tell Grandma I'm injured?"
"Grandma found the bloodstain on my shirt. She thought I was injured. I told her it wasn't me. But she questioned so closely that it just slipped out."
Audrey was speechless.
"Then can't you just say it's just a minor injury and that I'm fine?"
Bryson replied, "I said it, but she is still worried."
Audrey was lost for words.
She still wanted to say something but Bryson's phone rang. So, she could only swallow her words.
When he finished the call, Kylee had also finished cooking. She came out with the bowl of noodles and placed it on the dining table.
Then, she placed the chopsticks on the bowl.
"Elliana, come for dinner."
"Oh, okay."
Bryson looked at the noodles.
"Grandma hasn't cooked noodles for me for a long time."
He was obviously jealous.
Audrey was embarrassed and withdrew her hand.
"Then this bowl of noodles is for you."
"There's some in the pot. Serve it yourself if you want. This bowl belongs to your sister." Kylee warned Bryson in a deep voice.
"I'll serve him." Audrey got up and was about to go to the kitchen.
But Kylee pulled her back, "Do not bother yourself. Can't he serve himself? He won't have it if he doesn't serve himself."
Audrey bit her words back.
Anyway, Bryson was Kylee's biological grandson, but she was actually much nicer to her, which made her embarrassed.
In the end, Bryson went to fill two bowls with noodles. And the three of them sat around the table to have dinner.
Audrey picked up the chopsticks and took a bite.
It was just home cooking.
But it seemed familiar to her.
Her own grandmother had cooked for her as well, and they tasted the same.
A lump came into her throat.
Sensitive, Kylee looked at Audrey with concern.
"Elliana, what's wrong? Is it too hot? Or does it taste bad?"
Audrey looked up with a smile.
"No, Grandma. It's delicious," Audrey stated, "it's just that Grandma hasn't cooked for me for a long time."
As she spoke, she gently wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes.
Kylee's eyes turned red as she stroked Audrey's face.
"Good girl, grandma is always willing to cook for you. Tell me anytime you want to eat, okay?"
"Alright." Audrey grinned.
Kylee gazed at her with affection, "Alright, don't be sad. Eat now. The noodles will get cold."
"Okay."
Bryson, who was sitting opposite Audrey, had seen through her.
According to the information he collected, Audrey's grandmother had passed away, and Audrey was exactly the one whom her grandmother loved the most.
Audrey must have thought of her grandmother.
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's protection, Audrey was sent abroad alone.
Toby Munn must be really ruthless. Or how could he put his own daughter in such a situation?
In those years abroad, no one could imagine how hard it was for Audrey to survive and make it to where she was now.
Seeing her sorrowful look, Bryson squinted.
From now on, he promised, he would not let anyone hurt her.
