Chapter 372

There was a bowl of ginger soup on the cabinet beside.

The ginger soup was simmered thickly, emitting a pungent, nose-stinging aroma.

She had been soaked by the rain for so long that there wasn’t a single dry spot on her body; the wet clothes had clung to her for so long that the cold had seeped into her very core.

Ginger soup could ward off the cold.

She was still unconscious, and Matthew Saxon carefully propped her up, putting a soft cushion behind her, gently supporting the back of her head with one hand while scooping a spoonful of ginger soup with the other, blowing on it before bringing it to her lips.

He had never served any woman like this before.

Whether it was helping her sit up or feeding her ginger soup, both actions seemed awkward and even a bit clumsy.

The second young master of the Saxon Family, who lived a pampered life, was always the one being served by others; when did he ever have the chance to serve anyone himself?

Not to mention, he had always been accustomed to arrogance and wildness, given his noble status, making friends mostly within elite circles; the number of people who could truly catch his eye and occupy his heart barely amounted to two or three.

If his Fox and Hound Allies were to see this scene, they would probably be dumbfounded, absolutely astonished.

The ginger soup fed to her mouth was quickly spat out by Scarlett Yates.

The ginger juice spilled onto the freshly changed clothes.

Matthew Saxon frowned, and after wiping at her lips a few times, he attempted to feed her a few more spoonfuls.

Scarlett’s mouth seemed to move unconsciously, seemingly swallowing the soup, but in the blink of an eye, it was again spat out.

Matthew became a bit grim-faced.

The doctor had just said that she was not in any life-threatening danger and was only in deep unconsciousness due to excessive blood loss.

But now, she couldn’t even swallow water, a condition that wasn’t promising at all.

His eyebrows knitted tighter and tighter, muttering in a low voice whether she could hear or not, “Scarlett, since your will to survive is so strong, just obediently drink this bowl of ginger soup p>

“Usually, you can argue and defy me as much as you want, but this time, you have to listen to me p>

“I know you are very reluctant to give me that jade pendant, but if you obediently drink this soup, once you recover, I will return the pendant to you p>

He had always carried that Double Fish Jade Pendant, originally a complete piece, which Roy Saxon had split into two halves as engagement tokens.

The jade pendant was an heirloom, reportedly able to turn danger into safety and ensure peace when worn.

Matthew, of course, didn’t believe in such things; he had just gotten used to wearing it from a young age, so he continued to carry it.

At this moment, he took out the pendant and hung the still warm piece around Scarlett’s neck.

Back then, he had despised sharing the same item with her, hence forcibly taking her piece of the pendant.

At that time, who would have thought that this woman, whom he once disregarded, would now tug at his heartstrings like this?

Perhaps his earlier words had an effect, because when he tried again to feed the ginger soup to Scarlett, she didn’t spit it out.

After finishing feeding the entire bowl of rich ginger soup, her complexion improved significantly, no longer appearing as lifeless as before.

Holding her icy, devoid of warmth hand, Matthew quietly commanded, “Scarlett Yates, you must wake up quickly. If you continue to sleep like this, I will take back all those promises just now, and that golden abacus too, I’ll take it back with me p>
