**Chapter 404: When Will Remy Wake Up?**

Edric exhaled sharply, his eyes rolling in exasperation as he regarded Calum.

“Do you genuinely believe Emma would ever eat that takeout?”

Calum stood there momentarily speechless, the absurdity of the thought dawning on him. Edric had a valid point; the food from outside paled in comparison to the culinary masterpieces Emma crafted in her kitchen.

In the days that had passed, Calum had become utterly enchanted by the dishes that Emma had taught Edric and the others to prepare. Each meal was a revelation, and he found himself craving the flavors and warmth of home-cooked food. It was as if, after all these years, he was finally awakening to a life he never knew he was missing.

“What happened?”

Emma’s voice floated down from the staircase, and before Calum could respond, she appeared before him and Edric, radiating concern.

Kieran and Drake, having heard the commotion, dashed over, curiosity etched on their faces.

“Emma, did we wake you?”

Edric, upon seeing Emma, instinctively took a step back, his soot-covered hands raised defensively. He didn’t want to tarnish her pristine appearance with the remnants of their chaotic kitchen experiment.

Silas trailed behind, his eyes darting to the kitchen, which now resembled a disaster zone. “What on earth is going on? Why does it look like the kitchen exploded?”

Calum kept his gaze fixed on the floor, his heart racing with anxiety. He felt a knot of dread tightening in his stomach as he stammered, “It’s my fault. I wanted to learn cooking from Edric, but I messed up and… well, I blew up the kitchen.”

How could he have been so clumsy? He had only been here a few days, and already he had managed to wreak havoc.

Emma won’t hold this against me, will she?

The thought gnawed at him as he awaited her reaction, anxiety coiling tighter within him.

Emma’s lips curled into a slight frown as she assessed the situation, her brow furrowing with concern. “Are you two hurt?”

Both Edric and Calum shook their heads vigorously, their voices chiming in unison, “No.”

“Emma, you don’t need to worry. We got out quickly and didn’t get hurt.”

Edric’s gaze drifted back to the wreckage of the kitchen, his tone tinged with disappointment. “But now the kitchen is a complete mess, so we can’t even make breakfast.”

Emma’s heart lightened at the sight of them both unharmed. “As long as everyone is okay, that’s what matters most.”

She surveyed the chaos and smiled softly. “I can manage with some nutrient fluid for today. Once the kitchen is back in order, I’ll whip up something delicious again.”

Calum’s eyes widened in surprise. Emma wasn’t angry; she didn’t scold or blame him.

“Emma, I’ll get someone to fix the kitchen right away,” he blurted out, determination flooding his voice. He felt a surge of responsibility wash over him; after all, he was the one who had caused this mess.
