Yvonne couldn't help but glare at him. Bennett met her gaze, his expression deep, but his eyes were filled with a warm light, practically overflowing with amusement.
Emma was furious. She slammed the container of soup she was carrying onto the table and stormed out of the room.
Silence fell over the room once more.
Bennett gestured toward the soup on the table. "I'm hungry."
Yvonne didn't say a word. She walked over, poured the soup from the thermos into a bowl, and brought it to him.
"Feed me," Bennett said, not reaching for the bowl. He leaned back against the headboard, looking like he fully expected to be waited on.
"Mr. Thompson, need I remind you that you weren't shot in the hand?" Yvonne replied, her beautiful, fox-like eyes fixed on him.
"Drinking soup might aggravate my wound," Bennett retorted nonsensically.
For a moment, Yvonne saw the Bennett of old—the man who was cool and reserved in front of others but could be playful and demanding with her.
Yvonne held the bowl in one hand and a spoon in the other. After stirring the soup a few times, she began to feed him.
Bennett had a good appetite and finished the entire bowl. Then he asked Yvonne to peel an apple for him.
Yvonne sat by the bed, her head slightly bowed as she carefully peeled the apple with a fruit knife.
Bennett watched her from his bed, occasionally reaching out to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear.
His fingertips brushed against her cheek, causing a faint blush to spread across her face. When she looked up, she saw him smiling at her, his eyes gentle.
His gaze made her feel flustered. She cut off a slice of the peeled apple and popped it directly into his mouth.
Bennett's lips curved into a smile. As he bit into the apple, the phone on the nightstand vibrated.
