We Will Collide Someday by Scarlett Sanchez novel Chapter 118

Chapter 118 Go to Kieran

The congee was well made, and the taste of the ingredients was maintained. Alexa liked its softness and stickiness.

Seeing that Alexa liked the congee, Kieran continued to serve her.

Alexa ate silently and inadvertently looked at his hand.

Kieran’s fingers were slender. Although they were much fairer than ordinary people, they were warm and strong enough to give her a sense of security.

“Dr. Powell, you don’t have to worry about me,” Alexa whispered. “Go do your job.”

“Are you full?” Kieran looked up.

The congee was all that Alexa had eaten this morning, but she did not feel hungry. After eating just a little more, she lost her appetite.

“I’m stuffed.” Alexa nodded and thanked Kieran. “Thank you, Dr. Powell.”

Kieran got up to take away the tableware and said gently.

“I was afraid that you wouldn’t like the hospital’s food, so I asked my chef to cook it. I’m afraid it doesn’t fit your preference.”

“No. Dr. Powell, it’s delicious.”

“Since you like it, I’ll ask them to cook some other food and then send it over.”

Kieran’s eyes were dark, but they were shining.

“How could I let you do that? I…”

“Don’t always worry about causing me trouble,” Kieran said as he tilted his head. “I never thought you are trouble.”

Alexa’s speech was stopped as if she had been hit hard by something.

Kieran calmly packed up the utensils and quietly left the ward.

Alexa looked at the needle on the back of her hand in a daze. The potion was injected into her body,

and she felt warm.

Alexa was absent-mindedly holding her phone and chatting about the design drafts with Kimora when she received a text message from a strange number.

“Alexa, I’m coming back from England. What gift do you want?”

Brenton was indeed coming back.

Alexa blinked and did not reply.

She was like a bug hiding in darkness at the end of the world, silently peeking at Brenton’s light.

But she and Brenton were impossible to be together.

Alexa had just put away her phone when Brenton sent another message.

“If you don’t reply to me, I’ll decide on the gift on my own.”

Not long ago, she promised Tania that she would no longer have any relationship with Brenton. But what was she doing now?

“No need.”

Alexa answered with two words and then blocked the number.

It was not long before noon. Bottles of liquid were yet to be injected, but the servants of the Powell family brought lunch over.

“Ms. Duran,” the woman leading the servants said kindly. “We will put the food on the table. Please take your time.”

Alexa was not used to such an address, but she did not say anything.

“Thank you,” Alexa said gently. “Say thank you to Dr. Powell on my behalf.”

“Mr. Powell is now treating patients,” the woman said proudly with a smile. “He will come over to eat with you after he is done.”

“No need to do that.” Alexa waved her hand. “He doesn’t need to stay with me.”

The woman did not say anything and bowed together with the servants behind her.

“Enjoy the meal.”

Alexa picked up the spoon nervously, but Terrence called her.

“Where are you?” the person on the phone said calmly. “Come back to eat.”

“I…”

“Where are you now?”

Terrence’s tone became gloomier as if this was an important question.

“I have things to do now.” After Alexa said this, she added, “But don’t worry, I will go to the hospital to take care of your mother as soon as possible.”
