This strange scene was what Ariana saw when she came back from washing the fruits.
Holden sat far away and stretched out his hand to feed Mitchel.
Meanwhile, Mitchel sat on the bed, chewing the mashed potato as if he had lost his soul.
The scene was very weird. And judging from Mitchel’s expression, Ariana could tell he wasn’t enjoying his meal. Was the mashed potato of Mercy Hospital really that unpalatable? And when had these two men become so close to each other?
Ariana saw that Mitchel and Holden both looked awkward. So, she put down the fruits and walked over. “How about I feed him?”

“No, it’s okay,” Holden immediately replied. Then, he looked at Mitchel with a threatening smile and said, “He Likes being fed by me.”
Ariana looked at him in confusion.
Mitchel, on the other hand, was rendered speechless.
Ariana didn’t believe Holden. It seemed impossible for Mitchel to want to be fed by Holden.
She looked at Mitchel in confusion, hoping to get an explanation.
Mitchel was silent for a while. When he opened his mouth to say something, a mouthful of food was stuffed into his mouth. Then, Holden whispered through clenched teeth, “Nod if you like it.”
Mitchel could only nod.
Ariana looked at them strangely and said, “Fine!”
Then, she sat down on the sofa nearby. After a while, Holden finally finished feeding Mitchel.
After feeding Mitchel, Holden asked the nurse to put away the rest of the food. Ariana sat on the edge of the bed and handed an apple to Mitchel. The latter took it and chatted with Ariana while eating.
Ariana told Mitchel what they had found out these past few days. “We found out that Zayden was the person behind this. He came for me and Holden. We didn’t expect you to be implicated.”
Mitchel shook his head and said, “It’s okay. It’s not your fault. I chose to chase after you myself.”
Despite Mitchel’s words, Ariana still felt very guilty. She continued, “Now we plan to wait until Zayden took the bait. Then, we will deal with him.”
Mitchel nodded. Then, he and Ariana talked about Melon, caring about Melon’s and Ariana’s health.
Holden sat on the sofa nearby and dealt with two work messages. When he saw Mitchel and Ariana chatting happily, he became increasingly unhappy. So, he put away his phone and walked to them. “Do you want to play games?” he asked.
Mitchel remained silent, but Ariana’s eyes lit up at the mention of a game. “Yes, please!” she chirped. “But we’re stuck in a hospital room. What kind of game can we even play?”
“UNO,” Holden declared, standing up and rummaging through a nearby drawer. “Loser gets a note on their face, one at a time.”
“Sure, no problem,” Ariana replied confidently, but then expressed her confusion. “But there are no cards here.”
“There are.” Holden grinned and retrieved the cards from a drawer, placing them in front of Mitchel and Ariana.
