Seeing Sophia Hamilton close her eyes, Evander Lancaster also stood up, quietly walked to the bedside, turned on the wall lamp, then quietly walked to the door, turned off the overhead incandescent light, and sat back down in front of the hospital bed, his hands crossed on his lap, watching the woman on the bed whose breathing had become steady.
Sensing that Sophia Hamilton had fallen asleep, he got up again, walked out of the room, and took out his phone to dial a number.
"Hyde Park Hotel? Please prepare a pot of black-bone chicken soup..."
In the hospital room, Sophia Hamilton opened her eyes, heard the voice from outside the door, and her hand tightened slightly on the pillow.
At nine in the evening, a hotel employee delivered the food Evander Lancaster ordered to the hospital.
A pot of black-bone chicken soup, with sea cucumber added, a portion of crab yolk scrambled eggs, a vegetarian dish, and two servings of rice.
