Jerome sald, “It’s not your fault. Go ask the kitchen staff to remake the soup. Charge the cost to my bill.
The waiter left gratefully. Mikayla suppressed the concern that she almost blurted out and said to Jerome, “Rinse your hand with cold water.”
Although she controlled it well, he still caught the concern in her eyes.
He stared at her. “Help me.”
She didn’t refuse. There was a small sink across the corridor, so they walked over. Mikayla turned
on the faucet.
Worried that the water pressure might be too strong, Mikayla cupped some water and slowly poured it on Jerome’s reddish hand.

After saying that, he turned off the faucet and said coldly, “Let’s go.”

She smiled politely. “Nice to meet you. I apologize for what happened just now. I ordered those dishes out of fun.”
Baldwin smiled. “It doesn’t matter. The food you ordered is good. They were green and healthy, ideal for people my age.”
