Chapter 1078 Percy Was Acting More And More Abnormally
Nina was stunned when she saw that Percy had poured all the eggs into the pot. She stirred it with aladle, covered the pot, and turned around to prepare the toast.
The toast she prepared previously was only enough for her.
Percy crossed his hands in front of his chest. The sight of her preparing breakfast while wearing anapron brought an unprecedented surge of warmth to his heart.novelbin
Nina was preparing the salad and picked up her pace when she noticed his scorching gaze. Sheasked, "Is there any news on Bea?"
Although she woke up late, she knew that Percy had gotten up and left after answering a call. Sheheard him mention Bianca and Xavier Tanner.
"No." Percy shook his head, and his gaze shifted to the bowl full of washed cherries.
He stretched out his hand, picked two, and plopped them into his mouth. The cherries were big andsweet. They were delicious.
Nina wanted to say something but hesitated.
When Percy noticed her expression, he raised her eyebrows and asked," What's wrong?" "Those arefor Kari and Teri." Nina was a little puzzled as Percy did not usually enter the kitchen nor eat fruits. Hewas acting a little abnormally.
To be specific, Percy was acting more and more abnormally.
"Jason Doyle's daughters?" Although Percy was indifferent to these kinds of things, he had heard aboutthe twins due to Jason's tormenting ex-wife who had done a lot of absurd things.
"Yeah, Kari and Teri were clamoring for cherries yesterday.’ The water in the pot was boiling. Nina tookout two large plates and put them aside. She then picked up the ladle, lifted the lid, and scooped theeggs out.
"Are you still taking care of the kids?" Percy asked.
"Kari and Teri don't have to go to school for these two days, and the babysitter is occupied, so Sue hadto bring them to work." Nina was not sure why she was explaining so much to Percy, but she still toldhim everything.
'Didn’t she say that she isn't a fan of kids? Why is she still helping Sue take care of them, then?' Percythought to himself.
He asked, "I thought you don't like kids?’
Nina was not sure how to react.
She put the salad aside, chaotically toasted some more bread, and then put them on two separateplates.
Nina knew that Percy had a large appetite, so she deliberately put more slices of toast on his platebefore she topped the salad off with her special sauce.
The recipe was shared with her by Anna.
Nina's heart sank when she thought of how Anna was in the hospital waiting for surgery. Anna haddecided to undergo a liver transplant, but there was no suitable donor for her. Nina's were not a match,
so the only option was to wait for Sean to get out of prison before they could proceed with thetransplant. 1
Sean had about half a year left to serve in prison, but after considering Anna's condition, the courtreduced his sentence. Sean would be released in half a month.
When that time came, she was not sure whether she would be happy or sorrowful.
The breakfast prepared by Nina wafted with a tempting aroma that excited Percy. As he stared at theplates of breakfast on the kitchen island, all he could think of was when he could eat.
Nina took out a tray and wanted to put the plates on the tray before serving them.
Percy stepped forward and said, ‘Til do it.’
He picked up the two plates with both hands. Nina was worried that they were too hot to hold. She heldthe tray and suggested. "Let's place them here?" "No worries.” Percy walked out holding the plateswithout a bother in the world.
Nina placed the tray back, picked up some utensils, and headed out.
Percy was already sitting at the dining table. There were two steaming plates of eggs on toast on thetable. There were blooming lilies in the vase on the table. The fragrance of the flowers and the aromaof the food stimulated her senses.
Nina sat on the chair and handed him a set of utensils.
Percy took it and ate the toast.
Listening to the clinking noise of the utensils colliding with the plate, Nina was not sure how to feel. 'Isthere something wrong with me? Why does this make me feel wonderful?*
The other side.
The Island of Despair was tranquil. Bianca was lying on the bed, the silence making her feel extralonely.
She glanced at the wall, and there were already many markings on it.
Every day, she would make a mark on the wall. Fearing that she would lose herself if she stayed herefor too long, she started keeping a record of the days.
Everything was the same in the past few days. Her training was getting more intense while she wasbecoming more and more proficient.
Oddly enough, Abel had not made an appearance in the past few days.
Bianca rolled over and glanced at the clock. It was four o'clock in the morning, and she was havinginsomnia.
"Miss, are you awake?" Eler's voice came from behind her.
Bianca closed her eyes, not wanting to let Eler know that she was awake.
In the past month, she had never gotten a good night's sleep. Bianca would sleep for two or threehours at most before waking up from her dreams of Luke and the kids.
Bianca did not tell anyone about her pain and suffering. She knew that if she told someone about it,Shanks would find a way to help her.
However, she did not need help.
Bianca missed Luke and her kids, but she could not get out of her current situation, so she could onlydepend on her dreams to alleviate her lovesickness.
Although most of her dreams brought her pain, she was willing to endure it as those dreams helped herremember what Luke looked like.
Eler did not hear a reply from Bianca and thought that maybe she was overthinking. She then smiledand closed her eyes.
The next day.
Bianca and Eler went to the training ground together.
They then discovered that the trainer for the day was not a mercenary hired by Abel but Shanks.
"Mr. Shanks?" There was a hint of surprise in Eler's voice.
Shanks nodded and remained expressionless. Bianca glanced at Eler and thought that the blush onher cheeks was a little too obvious.
"Today, you’ll be attending my medical class." The tone of his voice was as cold as his expression.
Eler happily clasped her hands together and glanced at the instruments around them. These werecommonly seen instruments in Shanks' laboratory. She did not see Amur so she asked, "Mr. Shanks,where's my brother?" "He’s in another training program," Shanks replied.
"Oh, okay. Mr. Shanks, we're ready." Eler's blue eyes were shining as she looked at him admiringly.
Bianca understood what this look meant. She shook her head and looked down at the instruments infront of her.
'We’re doing a medical class today?’
She did not know that Abel had prepared such a course for her. 'Is he not afraid that I'll learn how topoison him after this?'
Bianca was deep in her thoughts when she heard Shanks say, "Today, I'll teach you the basics ofmedicine. You're not allowed to use any leftover materials. I'll be checking everything after class."
Bianca snapped out of her thoughts and looked at the materials in front of her.
She was not familiar with any of them. Shanks glanced at her, picked up the materials, and startedteaching, 1
