Chapter 705: More importantly, Ethan's affection for Brenna was clear, and Elsa hadn't seen him this happy in years.

Torn, Elsa didn't know whether she should stop Brenna and kick her out.

The hospital room was spacious and furnished with modern comforts-a bed table, sofa, coffee table, and a private lounge area for family.

Minna stood looking at Ethan, clutching the meal she had brought, anticipating Elsa's outburst to drive Brenna away.

But Elsa didn't do that.

"Minna, chere. I haven't eaten lunch. Let's share what you've got." Elsa's heart had softened, unwilling to shatter her son's rare moment of joy.

Minna, stunned, felt a pang of disappointment. She looked at Elsa, surprised. “Elsa...” Elsa caught her meaning but brushed it aside. “Con, I'm starving." Reluctantly, Minna walked over, swallowing her frustrations, and set the takeout containers on the coffee table, her eyes brimming with unshed tears.

Elsa noticed but looked away, feigning ignorance. She then opened the containers.

"The sdishes?" Elsa muttered, silently noting Minna's lack of foresight. Why would she buy the sdishes as Brenna? This way, Ethan would inevitably prefer the food Brenna had brought over her own.

Had the dishes been different, Elsa might have persuaded Ethan to try them.

With a quiet exhale, Elsa resolved to mentor Minna on how to foster a stronger connection with Ethan later. The restaurant's food was undeniably delicious, and even Elsa savored a generous portion.

Meanwhile, Brenna and Ethan continued sharing their meal, lost in their own world, heedless of those around them.

"Enjoying it?" Brenna asked, her smile bright. "My new assistant has a real talent for spotting great places. She recommended this restaurant to me. I'm thinking of increasing her pay." Ethan, in a casual tone, inquired, "How much is her salary now?" "Six thousand a month, no bonuses," Brenna replied.

Ethan let out a soft laugh. "That's modest. I pay Neville thirty grand a month, plus bonuses. That's close to a million annually."

"I run a small studio. It's nothing compared to your big company, Of course, my employees salaries are NO lower," Brenna said, though she agreed with him. A capable assistant deserved better pay than that. Elsa and Minna sat across the table, watching Ethan, a grown man, ask Brenna to feed him. It was unbearable. Their expressions shifted, emotions tangled.

To be frank, Elsa couldn't believe what she was seeing. She remembered as clearly as if it were ΟΠΙ yesterday when Ethan had mastered using a knife and fork at the age of two. From that day on, he had never let her feed him again. Watching Brenna spoon-feed him through the entire meal felt like Brenna had taken something that used to be hers.

Minna, meanwhile, was reeling for a different reason. She was convinced Ethan her chances of of ever being with the had just dropped to zero. Unable to stay any longer, she dropped her fork with a sharp clink. “Elsa, I have something to do. I'll leave now."
