When Serena awoke, she found herself in a clean and neat room.
The furniture in the room was very simple but also very elegant. The walls were decorated with sketches.
The light gray curtains were gently moved by the wind, a calm and cool wind.
Where was she?
Serena sat up slowly, felt pain in her arm, lowered her head to find that there was gauze wrapped there.
"Did you wake up?"
She heard a gentle voice approaching. Serena looked up.
Leonardo walked in under her surprised gaze, holding a cup of hot water, approached and handed it to her.
"First drink a glass of water to hydrate your throat."
Serena stared at him blankly for a moment before reaching out to take the cup. She was indeed very thirsty and her lips were dry. After taking the cup, she drank a little hastily while humming.
Leonardo looked at her and could not help but say, "Drink slowly. Don't choke."
She made a few movements and then stopped, feeling Leonardo's breath.
He really was a kind person!
Serena then drank more slowly. When she finished she put the cup down and Leonardo brought his hand closer to wipe her lips.
He rubbed her lips and she was stunned.
What was he doing? Did he unexpectedly touch the corner of her mouth?
When she realized what was happening, Serena drew back, avoiding contact with the man.
Leonardo's expression was extremely natural, and he did not realize Serena's reaction. He took the cup from her hand and said, "Get up, I will cook for you."
"Food?
Talking about food, Serena's stomach began to growl.
She blushed, and quickly reached out a hand to cover her stomach.
Leonardo smiled again, "Get up."
There was no mockery in his eyes, and he looked at her quietly. Serena's heartbeat slowed, nodded and followed.
After getting up, Serena realized that her robe had been replaced.
Unconsciously she grabbed the ends of her clothes.
"Don't worry. My maid helped you change."
Said Leonardo, Serena's face blushed.
She said nothing and he could glimpse his thoughts. Serena followed him to the table embarrassedly.
There were several dishes on the table. They were soups and were all delicious.
Serena had not eaten for a long time. When she sat down at the table she could not helo but swallowing.
"Eat, make yourself at home." Leonardo smiled slightly, picked up a bowl of rice and gave her a spoonful of rice.
"Thank you big brother." Serena thanked him, then sat down and began to eat; she was really hungry.
Since the day before she had not eaten all day, she ate without stopping.
Even when she was little, she did not eat or drink for three days, she was survived!
What could have happened if she had not eaten for a day? Serena kept the rice in her mouth, thinking in her heart that she had to hold on.
She had overcome the nightmare of her childhood.
"Sorry...Big brother, I also don't...I don't think so.... "She sobbed, put down the bowl in her hand and turned her back to him.
She was really uncomfortable.
That experience was the darkest day of her life.
At that time she stayed with the police for three days.
When all the lost children were picked up by the parents who rushed in, she was left alone for three whole days before her mother came to pick her up. When she saw her, she scolded her for being disobedient and asked her why she was running around, then slapped her in front of all the police officers.
Serena wanted to cry at that moment, but unconsciously restrained herself.
She stared at her mother with wide eyes.
Why? Did her mother not love her? Didn't she care about her? Why? Other mothers loved their children very much, but she...Why couldn't she be like the others?
A coat was draped over Serena's body, wrapping her ambiguously.
"It is uncomfortable?"Leonardo suddenly sat down next to her. With a handkerchief in his hand, he bent down slightly to wipe the tears from her face,"It's okay to cry. After crying, the meal will taste even better. Eat, otherwise...it's not your fault if you're hungry."
Serena's hands trembled slightly. She looked up at Leonardo, and her eyelashes trembled slightly, "Thank you."
Leonardo smiled slightly, "Don't compliment. Will you feel better after crying?"
"Yes." Serena nodded
"Then eat a bowl of soup first." Leonardo filled it again with soup, and Serena could only reach out and take it.
"When I went to the hospital yesterday, I saw Cristian Ferrari's car in the parking lot. Are you with him?"
Hearing this, Serena paused.
"Cristian has a double face. He is always sincere about many things, but to tell you the truth, Cristian is really good for you."
