Lina wanted to keep their relationship a secret, so Lena hid it from everyone. Lina also craved Lena's homemade
chicken soup, so the latter practiced making it daily until she perfected the recipe. Once she mastered it, she
eagerly sent some to Lina.
The moment Lena walked into the office, Lina, who had seemed disinterested just moments before, suddenly lit up.
She hurried over to Lena, resembling a cheerful sparrow.
"It's this taste!"
Lina could not wait as she opened the container. If Lena had not stopped her, she might have lifted the container
and drunk the soup directly.
Lena smiled and carefully served her a bowl, placing it on the table. "Take it slowly. It's still a bit hot."
"Okay!" Lina licked her lips.

severe, almost reaching the point of throwing up whatever she ate. The Hamertons and Thompsons' chefs tried
their best to cook various international delicacies, but none of them could tempt her.
She would eat and then vomit and then eat again after vomiting.
While most pregnant women gained weight, she had lost several pounds, with her cheeks sunken and looking
worse.
Zuko was anxious. It was then he had a sudden idea. He thought about the "failed experiment" that Lena had
brought the other day and begged her to make another batch.
Unexpectedly, Lena succeeded this time.
In a situation where Lina could not tolerate any food, the chicken soup successfully stimulated her taste buds and
became the only thing she wanted to eat during this period.
Lena was delighted and felt a sense of mission in being needed by her sister.
"Lenny, I'm really sorry for always troubling you."
"What are you saying?" Lena smiled and used a tissue to wipe the soup off the corner of her mouth. "If you like it, I
can make it for you daily."
"How could that be?!" Lina looked at her. "Tell the chefs at home how to make it, and they can make it for me."
Lena shook her head with a smile. It was different. Without putting in the effort, how could the same flavor be
achieved?
Lina finished a large bowl of soup and even ate several pieces of chicken. After filling her stomach, they sat on the
sofa. Because of the discomfort from her pregnancy, Lina leaned against Lena's shoulder.
Outside the door, two figures stood motionless.
Zuko had come to deliver Lina's meal, while Chris had followed him to look for Lena. It was unintentional that they

The two men were left astonished as they exchanged glances upon seeing Lina leaning against Lena's shoulder,
chatting and laughing, while Lena gazed at her affectionately.
Zuko asked, "Did we see something we shouldn't have?"
Chris scowled and remained silent.
Zuko said, "I don't think she needs to eat the meal I brought."
Chris still did not say anything.
"Hey, what are they doing?" Zuko squinted. "Taking selfies?"
Not long after, he received a photo from Lina. It was the selfie they had just taken. In the picture, she and Lena had
their heads close together.
Lina even told him excitedly: [I've finished the soup Lena brought me!]
Zuko was at a loss for words.
Chris then took the phone and found the camera function, aiming the front camera at himself and Zuko.
"Chris, what are you doing?"
Chris calmly glanced at him and said, "We'll take one too!"
