I chuckled to wipe my son's crying face as tears also lingered in my eyes. This moment is so important for the two of us, who were waiting for Eli to come back, or at least, heal.

Ironically, even as we ate in tears, the taste of the food we ate was a hundred times better than those that had been carefully prepared by the imperial chefs in the palace.

Along with it was a hope that from this point forward, Eli's consciousness would become better. There might be no assurance that her memories of us would come back, but the possibility that she would soon recognize us as her family is more than enough.

In the end, Little Han was full after having two servings of food, while I slowed my pace down to keep with Eli's phase.

As Kayden advised before, it is not good for Eli to eat a lot in one go, so I know not to force her to eat that much.

I waited until she dropped her utensils and moved from her original position.

"Done?" I asked softly, and of course Eli did not answer. She just looked at Little Han and I before staring blankly once more at an empty space.

"I'm leaving a glass of water here... take it if you are thirsty..." Taking the utensils, I filled another cup with water and delivered it to her once more.

"Now... I have to bring these back to the kitchen... Little Han, let's have Mommi rest ok?"

Finally achieving such a big progress, I bent down and looked at my son to talk to him sincerely.

"Owkay..." Little Han looked at Eli once more, he was extremely reluctant to leave his mother but still obediently nodded.

"Good boy..." I hugged him and gave him a soft peck on his forehead before saying,

"Don't worry, this time I'll let Baobao and Wisey look after Mommy for a while."

"Then after bringing these to the kitchen, we will call Uncle Kayden to take a look at Mommy. Is that ok?" I asked softly.

Little Han seemed to like my arrangement as he obediently nodded and answered, "Yesh, Daddi!"

After asking Wisey and Baobao a favor to look after Eli, I quickly brought Little Han to the kitchen then we immediately called Kayden to report what happened.

Hearing the news, Kayden was elated and was so excited to know the things we did.

Even so, Kayden did not employ these methods right away as he knew that this cannot be taken lightly as well.

"Thank you for your advice, I'll make sure that these will be taken into account greatly..." Kayden looked at us with gratefulness and appreciation.

"It's what we should do..." I looked at him and responded.

Looking at my best friend's tired face, I was hoping that he would ease up with the news for just a little bit.

He had a lot on his plate.

Because apart from looking after Eli, he still had to lead with the rehabilitation of Grandmaster Andi. This chapter was first shared on the B1nN0v3l platform.

Moveover. Uncle Cornelius and Aunt Yelena can only do so much for a limited time, as they too came from years and years of torture under the corrupted Pope. As such they still needed to fully recover from the long term trauma they suffered for decades.

Kayden let out a heavy sigh as he looked at his notes with worry and anxiousness, "I just hope this situation would not last that long..."

A separate menu for Little Han, and Eli, as we were still afraid that Eli's digestive system would react adversely.

As I was frying the honey-glazed chicken, I remembered that Eli was the one who taught me this recipe. In fact, there were still some flavors aside from the honey glaze.

Remembering those days, I took out another set of ingredients and fried more of the chicken wings. I prepared three other sauces, soy garlic, Korean barbeque, and garlic parmesan.

Perhaps Kayden would enjoy and relax a little with Eli's signature dish.

When I went back, I had a few servants assist me in taking the food as it was prepared for four people at the moment.

Little Han excitedly looked at the food cart and almost jumped out of Kayden's lap.

"Chimken! Chimken!" My Little Bun clapped his hands excitedly and as if it was already a rule, he went to the spot where he sat the day before and faced Eli.

"Mommi, the food today is nice!" He beamed while looking at Eli, who was also staring at him in a daze.

"Alright, settle down and I'll take out the food." Instructing Kayden with my gaze, he sat beside Little Han as well.

When all three of us were sitting in front of Eli, I already took out the tray of food and opened the lid.

For Eli, it was the menu suggested by Kayden.

Then I opened another and the fragrance of the fried chicken with the four different sauces filled the entire room.

"Wahh!!" Little Han bounced on the spot as he looked at the platter of chicken with different sauces.

"Oops, we shall say our graces before eating, my little nephew." Kayden chuckled, as he was immediately infected by Little Han's excitement.

"Oh..." Little Han realized his mistake and immediately clasped his hand.

With his cue Kayden and I also clasped our hands and closed our eyes in silence as Little Han prayed.

Little did we know that the moment we opened our eyes, we would see...

Eli was already in front of us staring intently at the platter of fried chicken that we were about to eat.

Too surprised to react to anything, we only managed to stare at her in a daze.

Seeing that we did not move or anything, she frowned and looked at us then back to the chicken platter in front.

Then finally, she pointed at the portion where the Korean barbeque glazed chicken was arranged while she mouthed the word,

"Mine!"
