Billionaire's Reborn Baby novel Chapter 489

Eliot didn't say anything but took a deep breath.

It was no more than a week since he became conscious again, realized that his leg might have sequelae, and saw the news of Maury's death on TV during rehabilitation. However, those fragments seemed to take roots in his mind and lingered on.

He could picture Emily kneeling there and people in black coming and going with chrysanthemums in their hands.

Eliot felt extremely guilty for not being there with her when she was faced with this situation. If he hadn't got injured, he was supposed to deal with everything for her.

However, all he could do was lie on the hospital bed because of his fucking legs! He cursed his legs. On the other hand, he prayed for his legs to enable him to stand up again.

He felt like a failure. After leaving the Britt family, he was like a stray dog living on Emily's charity and Sydnee's care. Even the doctors who came to treat him were sent by Emily.

Moreover, he had cost her such a large amount of medical fares, that he felt ashamed for himself.

Sydnee came at night. She was a little busy during the day, so she could only come after dinner and brought some food to the hospital for Eliot and Lynn.

Eliot was reading a book while the nurse was massaging his legs. And Lynn was putting her SIM card into the new phone that Harold had delivered to her.

"Your new phone?" Sydnee placed the food on the table and walked over, "Give me your number."

Lynn handed her phone over, "I don't know yet. It's a new SIM card. Call yourself with my phone so that we can know."

Sydnee dialed her own number and then dialed Eliot's.

Lynn asked, "Whose number is this?"

Sydnee didn't even raise her head, "Eliot's."

Eliot looked over here on hearing this.

Lynn was a little surprised, "Did you memorize his number?"

"Yeah, his number is quite easy to remember." Sydnee smiled and said, "So is your new number. I can memorize it by tomorrow."

"The number I dialed is power off." Lynn turned around and looked at Eliot, "Eliot, did you shut your phone off?"

Eliot reached under his pillow and took out his broken phone, "It's broken."

Sydnee walked over and said, "I can take it to get repaired."

Eliot refused, "Don't bother." But Sydnee had already reached out to take the phone, so they inevitably touched each other's hand.

Eliot looked at her while Sydnee took away his phone and began to look into it without showing any sign of embarrassment or uneasiness at all.

"Here's your dinner, you can eat now." Sydnee put his phone into her pocket, then opened the lunch box on the table, unfolded the dining table, placed the food on it, and poured out a bowl of soup for Eliot.

Eliot can't move easily, so he couldn't sit up to eat. He needed someone to feed him.

Usually, Lynn would do that. They were relatives, so there was nothing embarrassing about it. Sydnee would normally leave after delivering food. But today, she stayed.

When Sydnee saw that Lynn was about to feed Eliot, she thought for a moment and said, "You can go and have your dinner. I'll feed him."

Eliot raised his eyebrows slightly but didn't turn down her proposal.

Lynn handed the bowl to Sydnee, and took another bowl to eat, sitting on another hospital bed

Because it was not convenient for Eliot to go to the toilet, so his diet was mainly fluid which was either porridge or vegetables. He could eat meat only in small pieces. And he could not eat spicy food, seafood, or too oily food. As a result, he had lost a lot of weight since he was hospitalized over a month ago.

Today, Sydnee took him congee with minced pork and preserved egg which was not very salty. In the congee, diced meat and mushrooms were sliced very thin. The porridge was cooked so carefully that the rice melted with the preserved eggs, providing a glutinous taste.

Eliot's left arm was fractured. Although he had recovered a lot, the doctor suggested that he'd better stay in bed to recuperate. And he couldn't overuse his uninjured right arm. For example, he could not raise his right hand to reach for places that were too high, because he had a wound on the back of his neck. If he raised his hand above, the wound would hurt.

Sydnee fed him the porridge slowly. It had been taken out for a while, so it was not very hot. She habitually blew before feeding him every spoonful of porridge. Eliot lowered his eyes and opened his mouth to eat.
