He wanted to visit you, but | didn't want you to catch his fever, so | told him to stay at hand rest," Ruby explained as she opened the lunchbox. “I prepared your favorite mushroom soup today. Letpour it into a bowl for you." "| ate too much for breakfast, so | can't really stomach the soup right now," Gary said.
Disappointment filled Ruby's face as she closed the lid. Seeing that she was disappointed, he immediately said, "Letdrink just a bit, then!" Ruby's heart began to race, and color filled her cheeks. Her fingers on the lid trembled.
The nanny tried to take the lunchbox to pour Paul a bowl as well.
"NO! Ruby shoved the nanny's hand away." This is Dad's lunchbox. It's not for Paul. How is Dad supposed to drink if you give it to Paul? | brought exactly one bowl and one spoon!"

Ruby poured him a small bowl of soup and said, "Dad, letfeed you! That way, you won't get any on your hand." “I'm not so old that | can't move!" said Gary sarcastically. "But if my sweet daughter wants to feed me, of course, | won't refuse it.
