Chapter 231 I’ll Feed You
Hera didn’t hesitate to voice her thoughts. She noticed that the three men had thoughtfully selected the food in front of her: Dave brought the dessert Athena had always raved about, which typically had long queues. Leo’s fruits were plump and sweet, clearly chosen with care. Zhane’s medicinal cuisine, when eaten together, harmonized perfectly and proved effective.
She couldn’t even stop her mouth from eating as she smiled happily and sweetly at the men who were gathered around her bed. Athena has already found a comfortable position on the couch leaving the others to their business while cutting herself from them and minding her own business.
Hera made sure that all three men who had gone out of their way to buy her food would eat as well. She offered each of them food and kept placing more in their lunch boxes. They mostly watched her enjoy the meal as if they felt satisfied just by seeing her eat, but this only made her feel embarrassed.
The more she felt shy and embarrassed around them, the more amused the three men became, smiling broadly. Leo, in particular, gave her the most food while only eating fruits himself. His right hand was hooked up to an IV drip, which had become a little loose from his movements while buying the fruits. His left hand was bruised, likely from multiple failed attempts by the nurse to insert the needle correctly.
But the truth is, since Leo was still practically affected by the drug, he was still feeling a little more uncomfortable in his body but when another female was touching him, instead of feeling lustful like he had felt around Hera just moments ago, he was feeling repulsive and his skin was feeling like insects were crawling in his skin. This disgusting sensation made it unbearable for him to endure the nurse’s touch, causing him to recoil multiple times. As a result, the nurse had to puncture him several times, and it eventually became impossible to use his left hand. They had to switch to his right hand, where a male doctor administered the needle
Only then did Leo stop moving about, becoming a bit more restrained. Perhaps, on a subconscious level, he didn’t want other women touching him and was subconsciously rejecting it. Especially now, under the influence of the drug, he might have been afraid of doing something wrong that could harm his good relationship with Hera.
As Leo ate, the IV drip needle attached to his hand had become loose. Zhane noticed this as well as the unsightly state of Leo’s left hand, and he couldn’t help but frown. He wondered if Leo intended to appear pitiable in front of Hera, but it seemed to be working. Hera, seeing Leo eat only fruits, couldn’t help but notice his hands and a deep frown settled on her face.
She wanted to be angry with him for neglecting his own health. This must be why his subordinate had looked at her that way earlier—because Leo was prioritizing her well-being over his own. Hera’s anger flared, and her aura changed. Leo and the others around her immediately noticed her annoyance.
