Chapter 556: Chapter 556: The Soup for Her?
No wonder July Quinn was so angry last time.
Should he apologize then?
Kyle Keaton was tangled up in another round of indecision.
In short, it was a sleepless night for him.
*
On the same night, at The Hawthorne Villa.
Victor Hawthorne was sending July Quinn articles about the dangers of staying up late, right on schedule.
[Do you know the harm of staying up late? Chronic late nights can lead to sudden death!]
[How to determine if you’re at risk of sudden death? People who often stay up late must check this to protect your liver and ensure your safety!]
[The rate of sudden death keeps rising, led by staying up late, along with four other bad habits. I advise you to change early.]
But after sending them, Victor felt that July Quinn wouldn’t read the articles. Otherwise, why hadn’t she replied to his messages yet?
Just then, Mrs. Wood brought him a bowl of chicken soup.
"Young master, I made this chicken soup with ginseng. It’s good for nourishing and protecting the liver, and boosting immunity in autumn."
"Just put it on the table, I’ll drink it right away."
"Okay, remember to drink it while it’s hot."
Mrs. Wood turned to leave, but Victor suddenly stopped her.
"Mrs. Wood, did you just say this chicken soup is good for the liver?"
"Yes, why?"
"Can you make a pot for me tomorrow morning too? I want to take it to school and have it at noon."
"No problem. I’ll prepare the ingredients now."
Thus, the next morning, Victor Hawthorne could be seen entering the campus, holding a basketball in one hand and carrying a flask of ginseng chicken soup in the other.
"Boss, what’s that?"
The younger guys were curious about the flask Victor was carrying.
"Ginseng chicken soup."
"Ginseng chicken soup? Is it for lunch?"
"Boss, let me have a taste later."
Young people love to join in the fun, and they all crowded around Victor.
But Victor waved them off: "Go on, go on, it’s for someone else."
This chicken soup was nourishing and perfect for someone who stayed up late playing video games.
So, he brought it for July Quinn. Since she helped him win the gold medal in the e-sports competition, he didn’t want her dying young.
However, Victor didn’t specify who the soup was for, so the younger guys assumed they understood.
Wasn’t Victor always pursuing Joy Quinn?
So naturally, the chicken soup was assumed to be for Joy Quinn.
And so, the lads began to tease again.
"Oh, so it’s for Joy Quinn?"
"Then we can’t drink it, it must be saved for Joy."
Even though Victor explained: "It’s not for her."
"When Boss Hawthorne says it’s not, then it’s not!"
"We’re just envious that Joy gets gifts again."
Victor: "..."
Explaining was pointless.
So, he decided not to bother explaining anymore.
Anyway, once he delivered it, the truth would come out, right?
"Come on, let’s go to the basketball court."
Their classes wouldn’t start until after 10:30, so there was still some time before they had to be there.
July Quinn was always sleepy during the day, so naturally, she wouldn’t arrive at school so early.
Victor decided to play some basketball first, then go to the classroom to give the chicken soup to July.
With that, Victor carried the chicken soup and the basketball, heading to the basketball court.
But he didn’t know that quite a few busybodies had witnessed the scene earlier.
The rumor about him making chicken soup personally for Joy Quinn was spreading like wildfire across the campus.
Soon enough, it reached Joy Quinn.
"Joy, Joy, you’ve got chicken soup to drink."
Joy Quinn was in the classroom, transcribing Meridia vocabulary words, as the Esteria Meridia Language Competition was about to begin in a few days.
