Chapter 348

There was also that person.

Waiting for her all along.

"Jane, he's here to see you again."

Louise opened the door and walked in, sitting by Jane's bed, "He just came in, thought you hadn't eaten lunch, and ran out to buy it for you."

Jane curled up a slight smile.

"It's a bother for him to keep coming to see me, and you too, Darcy, for always taking care of me..."

"What are you talking about."

Louise smiled brightly, helping her tidy up the few strands of hair scattered on her forehead, "We're good friends~"

"Cousin, we're here to see you!"

The pretty young girl's little face poked out from the door frame, smiling to reveal a few neat, small white teeth~

Matilda looked like she was already high school age, having grown into a graceful young woman, dressed coolly, with quite a bit of Jessica's style.

She lifted the sumptuous meal in her hand, her steps light, and walked to the bedside in a few steps, sensibly setting up the lunch for Jane, "Brother didn't think there was anything good to eat nearby, so this is what he cooked and brought over himself; Jessica and Cindy and the others helped too~"

"Thank you all.

Actually, there's no need for so much trouble..."

Jane was a bit dumbfounded.

She didn't have high requirements for food.

However, this also made her feel a very warm glow—family, love, friendship...

When feelings reached their peak.

Jane picked up a piece of crab roe that Matilda liked and stuffed it into her mouth, asking softly, "Have you been obedient at Li's house, not causing your brother any trouble?"

"Mmm..."

Matilda's cheeks flushed inexplicably, and she said vaguely with her stuffed mouth, "No... I'm very obedient to Brother... whatever he says, I follow obediently..."

Jane smiled with relief, "That's good~"

Click.

Footsteps sounded at the door again.

The person who came was that man.

Ye Li placed a celestial model he was holding on Jane's bedside table, "Brought this for you, do you like it?"

"Actually..."

Jane stretched out her finger to turn the model, her face filled with uncontrollable happiness, "... I wanted a Powerpuff Girls doll more~"

"I'll bring you one next time."

Ye Li readily agreed, snatching the chopsticks from Matilda's hand, "Stop eating, leave some for your cousin; you're learning to be bad from Jessica."

"Mmm..."

Matilda said aggrievedly, "Jane let me eat it; she said she couldn't eat this much..."

"Is that so?"

Ye Li shamelessly took the chopsticks and started eating himself, "Then leave it to me."

Matilda: "Eh?"

"Pfft~"

Louise watched with great amusement, the aroma of the meal making her unable to resist picking up a pair of chopsticks to try and snag a bit~

Ye Li lightly pinched the soft flesh on her chin, teasing, "Take it easy; if you don't control your figure, 'slightly chubby' will become 'really chubby'."

Louise: "Mmm mmm mmm..."

"Hey, you guys..."

Jane saw her lunch being snatched and wasn't angry at all; instead, her eyes became crystalline...

【If only it could be like this forever...】

Days like this passed for quite a while...

On a sunny morning.

"I've handed all the data to Dr. Selvig; you guys can continue researching that project..."

Jane lay on the hospital bed, turned her head, and held Louise's hand, speaking slowly.

"Darcy, I know you like Li too..."

Zing—!

A white light suddenly swallowed the world...

"Mmm..."

The female scholar slowly opened her eyes.

What met her eyes was the black roof of a car...

And her good friend with big, blinking eyes...

"Jane, you're awake."

Louise asked with concern, "Do you feel any discomfort anywhere in your body?"

"Darcy..."

Jane said in a daze, "Thank you..."

"Hmm?"

Louise was confused by her sincere thanks, "Thank you for what?"

"Thank you for taking care of me..."

"Did I?"

Louise thought for a moment, thinking Jane was talking about her current care, and waved her hand, "What's this, we're good friends~"

·· ·Seeking flowers·· ······

"What did you say?"

Jane was slightly stunned, "Can you say that again?"

"We're good friends, aren't we?

Are you really okay?"

Louise said, her finger gently poking her friend's smooth forehead, looking thoughtful: "Hmm... I feel like something isn't quite right here..."

"It's nothing..."

The beauty's cyan eyes shone brightly, moving her good friend's finger away and saying softly, "... Just had a dream, it felt very real... what's wrong with me now?"

"Phew~ it's good that you're okay."

Louise explained to her, "Li said you suddenly fainted, maybe it was the effect of passing through the wormhole; we're driving to the hospital for a check-up now, didn't expect you to wake up as soon as we moved you into the car..."

"Go to the hospital?"

"I... I don't want to go to the hospital for a check-up..."

Jane subconsciously resisted, lowering her head to look for something, "Darcy, where are my research materials?"

"Here."

A hand wrapped in a casual sleeve helped pass the materials placed on the front seat to her———

"Thanks."

Jane raised her head, about to take them.

Just.

When she saw the person in the front seat clearly, her movements froze, and she stammered out a word...

"Li..."

"Hehe~"

The culprit smiled warmly, put the materials in her hand, and persuaded, "It's better to go to the hospital for a check-up; that way you can be at ease, right?"

Jane: "Mmm..." ===== CHAPTER 350 =====
