Chapter 31 Jonathan’s Improved Appetite.
Feeling mischievous. Angela’s face warmed up. However, she refrained from blushing and maintained a serious expression as she said, Jonathan, I was just admiring your hands. They’re quite attractive, much better than the barren ground outside your place and the interior decor.”
To assure him of her sincerity, Angela acted genuinely.
He glanced down at his hands, turning his wrists and appearing somewhat puzzled, “Attractive?”
Angela noticed that in this life, Jonathan, who was typically seen as distant and unresponsive, often labeled as a shrewd and emotionless businessman by others, turned out to be somewhat gullible.
She nodded earnestly, her bright eyes displaying her utmost sincerity. “Jonathan, don’t doubt yourself. Your hands are the most appealing I’ve ever seen.”
And so is your entire being, she whispered in her heart.
In their next conversation, she refrained from saying the next line. Although it was genuine, she felt it might come off as a bit too flattering.
Jonathan was born into a prominent family and was favored by fortune. Despite having some chronic illnesses, countless people throughout his life have always showered him with flattery and admiration. He wouldn’t miss one more.
Angela vividly recalled the day they first met when he told her not to go out of her way to please him.
He likely didn’t appreciate such words.
So, after she finished speaking, she remained silent, behaved honestly this time, and avoided eye contact.
Jonathan also fell silent.
However, for some reason, she felt that the atmosphere around him at this moment was much gentler than before.
In their previous life, every time she tried to please him with a few words, she was frightened away by hist icy reception. Hence, she dared not say much.
Soon, Sebastian returned. He placed the sky–blue ceramic bowl neatly, and Angela kindly helped him open the lunchbox.
Once it was opened, a rich aroma wafted out with billowing white steam. Sebastian, who was standing nearby, couldn’t resist taking a deep breath.

When he lowered his head to look, the creamy fish soup was adorned with bright red wolfberries and a sprinkle of fresh green spring onions. It was truly tempting.
Sebastian had lived for most of his life, and his desire for food was no longer strong. Yet, at this moment, he couldn’t resist swallowing a mouthful of saliva.
He thought that when she mentioned medicated meals, it would be something like boiling a pot of traditional medicine. Surprisingly, this looked better than those made in upscale restaurants, and upon

closer inspection, it had no hint of medicinal scent.
Fortunately, Sebastian had strong self–control. He quickly suppressed his hunger and served a small bowi for Jonathan, saying, “Mr. Lawson.”
Although he didn’t stay by Jonathan’s side regularly, he knew that due to his health, he often lacked appetite and generally ate sparingly.
Jonathan took the bowl and tasted a spoonful, and a refreshing, aromatic flavor instantly danced on his taste buds. Any signs of gloom on his face disappeared as well.
Soon, he emptied the small bowl of soup, and when he looked up, he noticed Sebastian and Angela watching him intently, which made him pause for a moment.
Angela wore an expression as if asking, “How is it?”
Sebastian seemed surprised. He wondered why Jonathan had such a hearty appetite today.
“How’s the food, Jonathan?” Angela asked, unsure of his taste preferences. She had forgotten to inquire before arriving and felt a bit uneasy. Hence, she looked at him with anticipation.
“It’s alright,” Jonathan replied, glancing at her. A slight ease appeared on his face. Then, he looked at Sebastian and added, “Sebastian, you should also have some later.
Although his expression was subdued, she could sense it went beyond mere politeness, However, she wasn’t feeling hungry at the moment, so she was about to decline the offer, signaling that she would eat at school. Unexpectedly, Sebastian responded almost instantly.
“Absolutely, Mr. Lawson.”
Angela had to hold back her words because… Sebastian looked like he was very hungry.
Sebastian didn’t bring Angela to Jonathan’s room for dinner. Instead, he took her to the living room. Just as they had finished eating, he suddenly remembered something and said cheerfully, “Oh, by the way, Carrie made dessert yesterday and put it in the fridge. Would you like some?”
Upon hearing this, Angela’s eyes lit up. It wasn’t just the dessert itself, but the mention of the refrigerator.
A refrigerator! If only she had one too. She could store ingredients and wouldn’t have to rush out to buy them early in the morning. Especially on mornings when she had classes, she wouldn’t have enough time to prepare simple medicinal meals.
Angela eagerly nodded and followed Sebastian to the kitchen. Her attention was immediately drawn to the double–door refrigerator.
Surprisingly, they already had double–door refrigerators. The Kins Family was still using a single–door
Conc.
Inside the fridge, there were only a few quick meals and a cake. These items didn’t take up much space, so there was plenty of room inside.
Sebastian took out the cake and said, “Carrie made this yesterday. She occasionally prepares food for Mr. Lawson when she comes over to clean. However, he has a poor appetite and rarely eats them.”

“Jonathan hasn’t been sleeping well for a long time, and his mood isn’t great, which naturally affects his appetite. With the gradual adjustment of medicinal diets, his appetite will improve in the future,” she reassured him.
In the past, Jonathan’s recovery had been a struggle, possibly due to the pill that had become a chronic poison.
With her around, nobody would dare harm him!
Remembering how Jonathan had eagerly consumed three bowls of soup, Sebastian’s eyes sparkled with joy. “Angela, thank you. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t know what to do… Before this, Master Jonathan had consulted renowned doctors both domestically and abroad. Yet, no matter the medicines, they had no effect, and things only got worse… Now, he manages to get several hours of sleep at night.”
As he continued speaking, a certain memory seemed to cross Sebastian’s mind, and his gaze became profound.
After a moment of contemplation, Angela understood that Sebastian must have already confirmed ant issue with the medicine Jonathan had taken before. With their financial means, a thorough investigation would undoubtedly reveal the truth.
Yet, she couldn’t help but wonder why he sought Charlotte’s assistance. Despite her commendable medical skills, she operated a modest private clinic. Nowadays, many people overlook such private clinics. Even if they heard that the doctors there were skilled, they would still prefer to go to a larger hospital.
Most people only turn to such clinics if they can’t find medical help elsewhere or resort to unconventional treatments. Grandma mostly treats local residents, and given Jonathan’s wealth and influence, why didn’t he seek out renowned doctors? Angela pondered.
“Sebastian, don’t worry. I’ll put all my effort into curing Jonathan!” She clenched her fist and made at confident gesture in the air.
Seeing her determined gaze, Sebastian couldn’t help but feel moved. In the past, many people claimed to care about the young master’s health, but he wasn’t foolish. He could distinguish genuine concern from
mere words.
Within the extensive Sanders Family, there was no one who cared for Master Jonathan more than an outsider.
