“Take care of his everyday needs?”
Halston narrowed his eyes slightly, pondering the meaning of that comment.
Right then, Flossie pushed the door open and came in with a steaming hot bowl of yam and pork ribs congee. She said warmly, ” Xavier, get up. I brought you supper. Yam and pork ribs congee will help your wounds heal. I’ll feed you.”
Flossie only realized that Halston and Christopher were both in the ward after she walked in. She felt embarrassed.
“You… Why are you guys here?”
Halston glanced at the congee and snorted. “Isn’t it normal for us to be here? But you… You brought him a bowl of congee in the middle of the night. How very considerate of you!”
Flossie thought Halston must be looking to argue with her again. She just rolled her eyes, walked around him, and didn’t bother to talk to him at all.
She sat down on the edge of the bed, scooped the congee with a spoon, blew on the spoonful of congee carefully, and extended it to Xavier’s mouth. “What are you waiting for? Open your mouth. The nurse said you can consume some liquid food now that the anesthetic has passed.”

Xavier wanted to open his mouth.
Because he was actually really hungry.
However, when his eyes came into contact with Halston’s death stare, he dared not even breathe, let alone open his mouth.
“What’s the matter? I said I’ll take care of your daily needs, and you agreed to listen to me.”
Flossie looked like an old mother educating her rebellious son. She said with a stern expression, “Open your mouth. You must finish this bowl of congee no matter what.”
“You…”
Xavier’s mouth was half open. He was in quite the dilemma.
Both Flossie and Halston were people he did not dare to offend. He was caught in the middle!
But the congee looked so delicious. He was so hungry. Flossie’s attitude was so sincere. Xavier finally decided to open his mouth and eat the congee.
Halston said coldly, “You have a broken leg, not a broken hand. Why can’t you eat it yourself?”
Flossie was very upset when she heard this and retorted, “Are you cold-blooded? And you call yourself his brother? He recently escaped the jaws of death with a broken leg. What’s wrong if I feed him?”
Halston remained silent for a moment, then said disdainfully, “In that case, let me feed him.”
He took the congee from Flossie, stiffly scooped a spoonful, and brought it to Xavier’s mouth. “Eat this!”
“Cough!”
Xavier was flabbergasted. He was obviously unwilling. “I don’t think this is necessary.”
“So she can feed you, but I can’t?”
Halston said coldly, “I’ve thought about it. As your bro, I should also do something for you. From now on, I’ll take care of your daily needs.”
“No, you don’t have to! Really!”
Xavier gulped hard and quickly said, “The hospital has professional staff that can take care of me. You guys are busy. You really don’t have to do this.”
“I’m serious. You saved her, so I must do something for you to repay you. You’re not allowed to refuse!”
Halston’s attitude was firm. He urged, “Open your mouth and eat the congee!”
Xavier had no choice but to give in.
Before he had finished the first spoonful, Halston was already feeding him another. In the end, Xavier was so full that he felt like his stomach was gonna burst.
Oh god, what sin had he committed to deserve this? He saved someone’s life and even broke his leg doing so, but he now had to be a tool in those two’s argument. He felt like the most miserable man in the world!
When Flossie saw that he had finished the congee, she immediately brought out an apple, peeled it with a knife, and handed it to him. ” Having some fruit after dinner is good for digestion.”
Halston urged again, “Eat the fruit.”
Xavier:
Xavier’s internal monologue: I don’t want to eat anything anymore. I just want to go home and escape this bloody place.
After eating the apple, Flossie handed him a small cake. To no one’s surprise, Halston made sure he finished it again.
“Your face is a bit dirty. Let me help you…”
Before Flossie had even finished speaking, Halston already grabbed a towel and started to “help” Xavier wash his face.
In short, Halston would not give Flossie any chance to repay Xavier. He intercepted them all.
Poor Xavier. He did not even dare to move. He let Halston wash his face and wipe his body. It felt worse than death.
Christopher watched the increasingly bizarre scene and joked, ” Bro, you’re so lucky. This is probably the first time Halston takes care of someone like this. Enjoy it!”
Xavier smiled bitterly. His expression screamed: Help me! Help me!
Flossie was finally done. She walked out of the ward, and Halston followed after her.
“Halston, if you’re unhappy with something, come at me. Stop bothering Xavier.”
When Flossie saw that no one was around, she confronted Halston.
She was upset because Halston was clearly doing all that to get back at her and Xavier.
“How am I bothering him?”
Halston’s attitude was as arrogant as ever. “Like you said, he’s my bro, so I took good care of him. How was I bothering him?”
“Didn’t you see how reluctant he was?”
Flossie could not help mocking, “You weren’t feeding him, you were stuffing him. You weren’t washing his face, you were scrubbing his face off. Is this really how you’re going to take care of him?”
“I disagree. I think I took really good care of him. I think Xavier is very satisfied. He didn’t complain once.”
“Complain?”
Flossie was speechless, “As if he would dare!”
“Why are you so concerned about Xavier? Are you really gonna give yourself to him?”
Halston asked tentatively.
“What?”
