Chapter 166 Be Obedient

Chapter 166 Be Obedient

He held her shoulders, forcefully let her sit up, picked up the bowl, scooped a spoonful of porridge, and put it to her mouth.

Lilian tightly pursed her lips, refusing to open her mouth.

"Be obedient. Open your mouth."

She angrily turned her head aside.

He suddenly called her name and gloomily said, "It seems the porridge is not to your liking."

Lilian was stunned to hear this.

And he soon continued, "There seems no need to keep the chef's hands."

Lilian abruptly turned her head back and stared at him in disbelief.

Meeting his cold eyes, she did not think he was joking. She intently stared at him. If it were in the past, she would have thought he was scaring her. But after what had happened to Courtney, she no longer dared to doubt his words.

He asked one last time, "Will you eat it?"

Lilian kept silent for two seconds with her head down. Then, she raised her head, leaned over, and took the spoon in her mouth.

Francis's expression returned to normal. He smiled and slowly fed her.

After she quietly finished the porridge bite by bite, he laid her down and allowed her to sleep.

She turned her back to him and kept her eyes open, unable to fall asleep. She stared out the window. There were dense water drops on the glass. It was drizzle, and the sky was gray. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

The lights in the bedroom were on. Although it was daytime, she could see the reflection on the window.

When she saw him sitting next to her and looking down at her, she closed her eyes and stopped looking. After a while, he walked out. She didn't open her eyes until she heard the door close.

In the next few days, Francis visited her every morning, noon, and evening, supervising her eating and taking medicine. After she almost recovered, he came less frequently.

Francis went to the company as usual and bumped into Johnson outside the elevator.

Johnson smiled, "Francis, have you found your pet?"

Francis put his hands in his pockets, glanced sideways at him, and said with a fake smile, "When did you become interested in my pet?"

He implied something, but Johnson pretended not to understand and said, "I'm not interested. I'm just worried about you. You work hard every day. Seeing you waste energy on a pet, I'm afraid your body can't bear it."

Francis laughed, "Really? Thank you."

"Don't mention it. That's what I should do."

Francis said, "You should also pay more attention to your health. You must be busy with those investment projects now, right?"

Johnson was stunned. After the smile froze on his lips for two seconds, he replied, "No, I'm not very busy."

"That's good. Since you're watching, I won't ask about those projects."

Johnson nodded, "Thank you for your trust."

Francis smiled in response and stopped talking.

When entering the elevator and going upstairs, they both remained silent.

When Francis entered the office, Harriet knocked on the door, came in, and said, "Mr. Landau, Lilian hasn't come to work for half a month. It's Nelson who brought her here. But when I asked him about it, he said he did not know. It's weird."

Francis picked up a file on the table and said without raising his head, "Help her apply for a leave."

Harriet paused and nodded, "OK! How long?"

"A month."

"So long? I'm afraid it is not in compliance with our company regulations. Moreover, she is new. Others will complain."
