Chapter 60 A New Beginning
Lily thought. A hundred <i>and </i><i>forty </i><i>thousand </i><i>dors </i><i>per </i><i>person</i><i>… </i>
John was really generous.
He must have gone to great <i>lengths </i>to ensure <i>Elsa </i>wouldn’t <i>be </i><i>held </i><i>responsible</i><i>. </i>
“Mr. Wayne, you can go back now. I’ve finished the discharge procedures and I’m heading back as well.”
Lily had to go to the Luke family’s ce soon and didn’t want to waste any more time.
However, Wayne didn’t leave immediately.
He awkwardly scratched his short hair and said, “Ms. Ginger, the reason Mr. John didn’te to see you in the hospital because he didn’t know you were also in the ident.
Mr. John really cares about you. I’ll tell Mr. John you’re here–right now, and he’ll definitelye to see you immediately.”
As Wayne spoke, he reached for his phone to call John.
Lily stopped him.
Earlier<i>, </i>Ivan had <i>sent </i><i>me </i><i>a </i><i>photo </i><i>of </i><i>mine </i><i>and </i><i>James’s </i><i>wedding </i><i>certificate</i><i>. </i>
James and I <i>are </i><i>now </i><i>legally </i><i>a married </i><i>couple</i><i>. </i>
I don’t want to <i>continue </i><i>entangling </i><i>myself </i>with <i>John</i>.
“There’s no need to tell John about my hospitalization. I meant it when I said I wanted to break up with him. I’m willing to ept thepensation he’s offering on Elsa’s behalf. I don’t have any evidence that Elsa deliberately caused this rear–end collision, so I can’t sue her. But I’ll only ept thepensation and I don’t want to be disturbed by him anymore.”
“This…”
Wayne adjusted his sses again.
However, seeing Lily’s distant and resolute attitude, he didn’t press the issue further.
Thinking about today being Mr. John’s birthday, after a long silence, he still couldn’t help but say, “Ms. Ginger, today is Mr. John’s birthday. He must be looking forward to you celebrating his birthday. Why don’t you give Mr. John a call and personally…”
“Mr. Wayne.”
Lily coolly interrupted Wayne’s words, “People need to move on. I don’t have a particr fondness for celebrating my ex–boyfriend’s birthday. Moreover, with Elsa around, I’m sure she’d be more than happy to celebrate his birthday for him. Mr. Wayne, you can go now.”
Wayne’s lips moved.

He wanted to say that John wouldn’t agree to the breakup.

Moreover, <i>Mr. </i><i>John </i>was <i>always </i><i>particrly </i><i>delighted </i><i>when </i><i>he </i><i>received </i><i>birthday </i>gifts <i>from </i><i>Ms. </i>Ginger every <i>year</i><i>, </i>
Although <i>Mr. </i><i>John </i><i>had </i><i>a </i>cold<i>, </i><i>aloof </i><i>demeanor</i><i>, </i><i>he </i><i>would </i><i>actually </i><i>smile </i><i>foolishly </i><i>at </i><i>the </i>gifts from <i>Ms. </i><i>Ginger</i>.
However, seeing Lily’s determination to cut ties with John and that she had effectively asked him to leave, he decided it wasn’t appropriate to say some things and left first.
After spending a night in the hospital room, there really wasn’t much to pack up.
After Wayne left, Lily folded the quilt on the bed and grabbed her phone to leave.
John, the soup you cooked is so delicious. I want to have it again tomorrow morning.”
Lily didn’t expect that as soon as she walked out of the hospital room, she would hear Elsa’s coquettish voice.
The door to the neighboring hospital room was wide open.
She instinctively looked into the room following the sound.
John was holding a bowl of soup in his hand, gently and patiently feeding Elsa, “Okay, I’ll cook it for you again tomorrow morning. Besides soup, what else would you like to eat tomorrow morning?”
Elsa yfully hugged his arm. At this moment, her usual coldness was gone, and she seemed like a spoiled little girl.
She puffed out her cheeks and ordered, “I also want to eat John’s Sautéed Green Beans, braised pork, braised pork…
She listed more than ten dishes in a row.
After listing them, she stuck her tongue out yfully, “John, did I order too much? Cooking is very troublesome. If you think it’s too much trouble, you don’t have to cook for me.”
Lily heard him say in a gentle voice, “It’s not troublesome.”
It was then that she realized he actually knew how to cook!
<i>During </i><i>the </i><i>four </i><i>years </i><i>I </i><i>had </i><i>been </i>with <i>him</i><i>, </i><i>it </i><i>had </i><i>always </i><i>been </i><i>me </i>who <i>cooked</i>.
<i>Even </i><i>when </i>I was <i>injured </i><i>or </i><i>feeling </i><i>very </i><i>unwell</i>, <i>worried </i><i>that </i><i>he </i><i>wouldn’t </i><i>eat </i><i>well</i><i>, </i>I <i>would </i><i>still </i><i>get </i><i>up </i><i>and </i>cook <i>him </i><i>a </i><i>full </i><i>table </i><i>of </i><i>delicious </i><i>dishes</i>.
<i>During </i>those <i>four </i><i>years</i>, <i>my </i><i>care </i><i>for </i><i>him </i><i>could </i><i>be </i><i>described </i><i>as </i><i>meticulous</i>.
<i>And </i><i>he </i>took <i>it </i><i>for </i><i>granted</i>, <i>never </i><i>once </i>cooking <i>for </i><i>me</i>.
<i>Once</i>, <i>when </i><i>I </i><i>was </i>browsing <i>through </i><i>short </i>videos, <i>I </i>saw <i>a </i><i>blogger </i><i>say </i><i>that </i><i>good </i>cooking <i>skills </i><i>are </i><i>one </i><i>of </i><i>the </i><i>best </i><i>skills </i><i>a </i>
man <i>can </i><i>have</i>.
<i>I </i><i>showed </i><i>him </i><i>that </i>video and <i>jokingly </i><i>asked </i><i>him</i>, <i>“</i><i>When </i><i>are </i><i>you </i><i>going </i><i>to </i>cook <i>for </i><i>me</i>?”

He said these bloggers were just trying to attract attention and were very boring. <i>He </i>imed he couldn’t cook
I <b>had </b>always thought that he really couldn’t cook.
I didn’t expect that when cooking for Elsa, he would be so proficient.
In this digital age, what kind of cooking tutorials aren’t avable?
<i>If </i>he had <b>wanted </b>to, how could he not have been able to cook a full table of delicious dishes for me?
She finally understood.
<i>It </i>wasn’t that <i>he </i>couldn’t cook, it was just that he didn’t want to cook for me.
“I also want to eat a strawberry cake made by John’s own hands.”
Inside the hospital room, Elsa’s voice continued, “Can you make me a strawberry cake tomorrow as well?”
“Sure
John gently scooped up a spoonful of soup and brought it to her lips, “Be a good girl and have a few more sips.”
“That’s great! Tomorrow I’ll not only get to eat braised pork made by John’s own hands, but also a strawberry cake made by John. I’m going to be so happy! John, I’ll reward you!”
After swallowing that spoonful of soup, Elsa suddenly got up and nted a kiss on the corner of his lips.
“Stop messing around.”
“But I want to! John is so great, I just want to kiss the best John in the world!”
