Chapter 643
James seemed to stare at his phone constantly. He quickly texted Melody back.
[He does have a lot on his plate today. He still has a dozen
documents to read. Conservatively speaking, it will take another two to three hours to finish what he is doing.]
After reading the message, Melody replied: [I see. I’ll send some ravioli over later.]
[Thank you, Miss Fox!]
James’ words were filled with joy.
James dared not to interrupt because he felt Ken would scold him badly if he made the slightest noise.
However, he felt Melody would not be treated like that for some reason.
James thought about it and felt a little jealous.
‘Why is it Melody has only known Ken for less than half a year, but her status is already higher than mine? It is annoying…’ thought James.
However, James’s jealousy vanished at the thought that Melody would save Ken from starvation.
The backyard of Herbathrive.
The things at Herbathrive were almost done. They were all squeezed into the small kitchen in the backyard.
Because there wasn’t enough space, everyone split up some stuffing and ravioli skins and moved to the courtyard to wrap ravioli.
Of course, most men were not born with the talent. The ravioli they made were oddly shaped.
Melody looked at the row of ravioli that looked like cinnamon rolls and shook her head helplessly. “Don’t wrap them up. Nana and David, go and boil the water. Let’s cook some to eat first.”
“Alright!”
Nana and David did not dare to have any objections. They quickly set up a pot and started a fire. Soon, smoke rose from the backyard.
Nana smelled the smoke in the air and felt a sense of security that she had never felt before.
‘Maybe this is why Mom was so determined to stay here, thought Nana.
At first, Nana still felt a trace of inexplicable reluctance when she decided to stay. But she did not want to go back now.
It was good to continue living like this.
She felt happy.
Nana looked up and met David’s gaze.
The next second when their eyes met, Nana and David blushed and looked away. Their hearts raced as they continued to do what they were doing.
Melody saw the scene. She smiled and walked into the kitchen.
Compared to the ravioli made by people in the courtyard, those that Talia made were all beautiful. The ravioli had the same size and looked like a replica, completely reaching the sales level.
Melody said, “Momma Talia, don’t boil the ravioli you made. Give me two servings after you’re done wrapping them. I’ll send them to my friend later. Put the rest in the fridge. When the patients leave tomorrow, send one serving to each person. Just pack six ravioli for each serving. It’s auspicious.”
Talia quickly nodded and packed two servings for Melody.
Of course, there were more than 30 ravioli for each serving.
Melody thought for a moment and asked Talia to add two more servings.
Coincidentally, the water that had been burned with firewood in the courtyard was boiling.
Melody was not in a hurry to cook her two servings. Instead, she asked everyone to put the ravioli that everyone had wrapped into the pot according to the portion they ate.
There were more than 30 people in the Herbathrive.
Fortunately, the pot was big enough. After the ravioli was cooked, everyone received a bowl.
Nana was the first to start eating.
She glanced at the ravioli made by David in her bowl. It was not flattering.
However, the fresh and tender juice immediately melted in her mouth when she took a bite. The fragrance assaulted her nose. It had no flavor of herbs and was tastier than any ravioli she had ever tasted.
“It’s so delicious…” She couldn’t wait to have her second bite as she exhaled hot air.
David smiled. “Have you never eaten ravioli before?”
Nana glared at him and urged, “If you don’t believe me, eat one yourself.”
David didn’t think that ravioli could be that delicious.
However, his eyes immediately lit up after eating a ravioli.
“This is… too fresh and delicious! I have to eat a few more bowls after this!”
The others laughed and said David was a smart person. Then, none of them weren’t impressed after they started eating the ravioli.
It was the ravioli that they usually ate. However, it was unknown if it was because they were hungry or something else, all of them had an appetite and said to want to eat ten bowls.
Just then, Talia came out of the small kitchen. The group of people immediately praised Talia’s culinary skills.
Talia scratched her neck in embarrassment and said, “You’ve misunderstood. The ravioli is delicious because of the fillings and ingredients. I made these two according to the formula Miss gave me.”
Because the herbs were added to prevent colds, Melody had taken the time to write the ingredient list two hours ago to avoid the smell of medicine from becoming too strong after the ravioli was cooked.
The group of people widened their eyes in surprise.
“Miss Fox, so your culinary skills are that good?”
Melody never praised her medical skills but was confident in her culinary skills.
“My culinary skills are slightly better than my medical skills.”
Someone immediately exclaimed, “Oh, my god. How delicious is your cooking!”
“Miss Fox, I’m not asking you to cook for us. I was just wondering, is there any chance we might get to eat some of your cooking?”
“Alright, stop talking nonsense. I’ll cook for you when the clinic is empty one day.”
Another cheer went up.
Melody shook her head helplessly. She cooked the four servings of ravioli she asked Talia for in the pot. Then, she drizzled the ingredients and placed them in four thermos boxes.
David asked gossipily, “Miss Fox, who are you sending them to? A man or a woman?”
Melody glared at him with feigned anger. “You gossip! I’ll send them to Mr. Herbert and Mrs. Herbert. Do you want to go with me?”
David quickly waved his hand. He had a natural fear of Colin, who was his boss.
“Let’s wait for Mr. Herbert and Mrs. Herbert to come back. I’ll see them again so that I don’t cause trouble for them.”
Melody glared at him again in amusement and took a bowl of ravioli to the room where she used to rest.
The room was now used for Seventeen to recuperate inside.
Melody had originally planned to arrange for Seventeen to stay in a
ward in Herbathrive, but many people were coming and going at the door, so she arranged for him to stay there.
When Seventeen saw her enter, he hurriedly wanted to sit up.
Melody quickly let him lie down and placed the ravioli on the bedside table. “You don’t have to care about your status during this period. Just focus on recuperating as soon as possible.”
Seventeen nodded in fear and gratitude.
“Thank you, Miss Fox.”
“No need to say thanks. Eat. The ravioli can increase your immunity. It’s great for your recovery. I’m going out later. As usual, call the number I gave you if there’s anything. David will come in to help you.”
“Yes!”
Melody nodded and left with ten thermos boxes.
Just as she was about to leave, a man with a murderous aura emerged from the shadows.
Melody immediately straightened her back in alarm.
Her sharp intuition told her that the person was not an ordinary person. Moreover, he should be quite skilled.
