He Clings to Me Every Night

Chapter 721: Chapter 721: Dreaming of Son Again

As dawn broke, Ella Charles woke in a daze.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The moment she awoke, her eyes fell on Larry Wood.

It was so strange. Ella felt as though she’d had a dream like the one from the previous night. The dream about her son once again.

Her son was so gentle in her dreams, his voice soft and soothing, as if he was comforting her, caring for her…

However, when she woke up, her son was nowhere to be seen. Moreover, she didn’t even know what her son looked like.

Perhaps, he resembled Michael Marshall quite a lot.

If Ella missed her son, the only thing she could rely on was the fragmented memories of Michael Marshall to piece together the semblance of her son. To guess what he might look like.

Perhaps, her son would be tall and handsome like Michael Marshall, capturing the hearts of many women, just like Michael did back then.

Nevertheless, Ella wished only for her son to be happy and content, to be deeply loved and cared for by a wonderful woman…

“Ella, you’re awake. Are you feeling okay? Would you like some water?”

Suddenly, Larry’s voice pulled Ella from her memories and daydreaming. Reflexively, Ella froze for a moment.

“Thank you, Larry. I’d like some water.”

“Does your surgical wound still hurt?”

After drinking some water, Ella said: “It still hurts, but I can bear with it. You had a rough night, thank you.”

“The food at the hospital isn’t that great. Lady Wood made some porridge and brought it over. You should have some in a bit. Oh, and also made some wonton noodles for you.”

Ella hadn’t had wontons for many years. The mention of wontons made her think back to her life in Serene City.

If she hadn’t gone to Serene City to work, she wouldn’t have met Michael Marshall, wouldn’t have fallen in love with him, and wouldn’t have experienced that heartbreak…

But fate had its own plans. She was originally headed for Cross City, but she boarded the wrong train and ended up in Serene City.

Furthermore, she ran into Michael Marshall right when she stepped out of the train station.

Unexpectedly, they ended up together, even had a son. But life did not turn out as she’d hoped. All she was left with was a lifetime of pain and heartbreak.

Thinking of wontons, Ella felt an inexplicable sense of sorrow and heartache. Accompanied by a familiar pang of nostalgia, it left a bitter taste.

Seeing Ella fall silent and unresponsive, Larry asked softly: “Ella, do you not like wonton noodles? If not, I can ask Mr. Wood to buy some steamed buns.”

Immediately, Ella shook her head, “No, I do like them. It’s just that I feel I’m causing you trouble. By the way, how come I never heard about Mr. Wood making wontons before?”

As she finished her sentence, Ella cautiously observed Larry.

Larry broke into a soft smile, seemingly unfazed: “Mr. Wood learned to cook when he was a chef in a hotel kitchen for a while. His skill is not bad, but the taste is average. Hence, he is a bit shy to show off his cooking skills. I hope you won’t mind.”

A faint smile found its way onto Ella’s face as well, “I won’t mind, I’m sure it’s delicious. I appreciate your kindness and I truly feel warmed by it.”

After helping Ella rinse her mouth, Larry gave her the wonton noodles.

Ever since leaving Serene City, Ella hadn’t had wontons. As she ate them now, her thoughts and feelings were in turmoil.

An unexplainable wave of sorrow washed over her, and tears welled up in her eyes.

At this moment, she missed her son terribly.

When Daniel was around one and had a fever, he didn’t want to eat. She would usually cook wontons for him.

The little guy really liked her wontons, as well as the chives dumplings she made.

There were many old shops selling wontons in Serene City; they were easy to come by. When she left the Marshall family, she only took with her the recipe for the chives dumplings.
