Chapter 1408

“Oh, hi.” Sonia smiled at him and put her bowl down. “Yeah, I have a bit of an appetite now. Was craving some seafood aglio olio, so I asked Mary to make me some. Seafood’s on the menu, right?”

“Seafood is a rich source of protein, so yes, it’s on the menu.” He nodded. “You didn’t have to stop. I was just going to check on you. If you still couldn’t eat, I would’ve administered some nutrient infusion, but I guess that’s not needed now.”

“I see. Sorry, I worried you.” Sonia was a little sheepish.

Tim waved his hand. “I’m on night shift today. Just here to check on you. It’s good to see you feeling well.”

I’m feeling better in more ways than one. She smiled. “I have so many people who love me feeling worried about me. If I can’t get over this hurdle, I’d be letting them down.”

“What about Toby?” Tim asked. “He’s still outside.”

“I know. He can sit around for a while. A little punishment for keeping this a secret from me. I’ll call him once I’m done.” Sonia popped another bite of aglio olio into her mouth.
