Chapter 380 He Doesn't Expect Hearst to Be Shameless
After returning from the research institute, Anaya planned to leave Hearst
alone for a while and let him reflect on himself.
As a result, the next day, she went back to the research institute.
When she received Samuel's call, she was chatting with Carlee.
On the phone, Samuel's voice was full of panic. "Anaya, Hearst had a problem after taking Cristian's medicine. He couldn't leave bed today."
After listening to his words, Anaya stood up from the chair. "Where is he now?"
"The research Institute."
"Okay. I'll be right there."
After hanging up, Anaya grabbed her coat and put it on, ready to go out.
Carlee said worriedly, "Anaya, what happened?"
"Something happened to Jared. I'll go over and take a look. I'll leave Dad to you."
After saying that, Anaya went straight to the research institute.
After entering, she happened to meet Giana and Samuel who came down.
Anaya strode to the front of the two people and said with anxiety, "Ms. Dudley, where is Jared?"
Giana opened her mouth but hesitated to speak.
Finally, she looked away and did not look into Anaya's eyes. "He's in the room he was in yesterday."
After getting the answer, Anaya thanked Giana and then went upstairs.
It was not until Anaya disappeared that Giana whispered, "Mr. Jennings, Mr. Helms lied to Ms. Dutt. Will it make the conflict worse?"
Giana always felt that Hearst would shoot himself in the foot.
Samuel made light of it. "Hearst just pretended to be sick, and you just have to cooperate with him until he recovers. If you don't get discovered, there will be no problem.
"When he 'recovers', Anaya and he will be reconciled."
"What if Ms. Dutt finds out?"
Samuel fell silent.

If Anaya found out the truth, Hearst might be killed, right?
Hearst was still in the room he was in yesterday, but compared to yesterday, he looked even weaker.
If not for the fact that his chest proved that he was still breathing, Anaya would even think that he was a dead body.
She walked towards the bed. Perhaps she was afraid of disturbing Hearst, but her footsteps were light.
"Jared?"
She called.
The person on the bed opened his eyes. His handsome facial features and skin were so pale that they were almost transparent. It was as if he would disappear at any time. He was weak and morbid.
When Hearst saw Anaya, he frowned and said in a weak voice, "Did Samuel tell you about my condition again?"
"Are you going to hide it from me?"
Anaya was angry, but when she saw that Hearst was not feeling well, her
tone softened. She did not seem to be complaining, but more like blaming Hearst.
She sat down by the bed. "Did you become like this after taking Cristian's antidote?"
Hearst replied calmly, "Yes."
The worry and uneasiness that Anaya accumulated on her way here
reached their peak at this moment.
She tried her best to restrain herself, but she still felt like crying. "Then, can you be cured?"
"Yes. Giana said that I will have no strength today. It is a normal symptom because the antidote took effect. I will be fine after a few days when the
effect is gone."
Hearing this, Anaya felt relieved.
Hearst coughed a few times and said weakly, "Can you get me a glass of
water?"
Anaya nodded and got up for the water.
Hearst continued to ask, "Can you help me sit up? I don't have the strength
to do so."
Anaya did not doubt him. She held his shoulders and waist, helped him up, and made him lean against the bedhead.
After drinking water, Hearst looked down and looked at the water with
ripples in the glass. He said, "I am sorry about what happened before. Are
you still angry?"
Anaya wanted to say yes, but she could not bear to see his haggard
appearance.
"I'm not."
Her tone was a little stilted. Hearst knew that she was still mad.
It seemed that if he wanted her to forgive him, he had to work harder.
Hearst coughed a few more times and said, "Can you stay with me for the
next few days? I want to eat the food you cook."
Anaya hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Leonard had Carlee with him. She just had to go over once a day.
As for work, Adams had been taking care of it. She only had to handle some matters that would need her authority.
In the afternoon, Anaya went home to pack up some daily necessities, explained the situation to Carlee, and then went back to the research
institute.
After dealing with work, Anaya cooked in the evening and brought the
dishes back to the room.
She set a table on the bed, put all the food on it, and brought a cup of water
for Hearst. Everything she did was considerate.
She handed him a spoon. "You can start eating."
Hearst nodded and reached out to take the spoon she handed over.
After that, he stretched out his shaking hand to pick up the food.
The steaming smashed potato fell on the table.
Hearst was stunned, then smiled bitterly as he tried to get himself another
portion.
His expressions and actions vividly showed his toughness.
As expected, the second portion of the smashed potato also fell to the

Anaya was worried that he might not be able to eat if this happened again
and again, so she said, "Give me the spoon. I will feed you."
A smile flashed across his face and soon faded.
There was no expression on Hearst's face as if he was trying hard to hide
his unwillingness and fragility.
"Sorry, I can't put my fingers together to exert strength."
"It's okay. You will recover soon. Calm down and don't be sad."
Anaya sat down by the bed, picked up the bowl, and fed Hearst little by
little.
When Samuel came in, he saw Hearst acting like a prince while enjoying the careful service from Anaya.
He didn't expect Hearst to be so shameless!
He even asked someone to feed him, which did not match his identity as a
president.
Hearing the noise, Hearst raised his eyes and looked at the door.
The gentleness in his eyes instantly disappeared and he looked at Samuel
coldly. "What's the matter?"
These words made Samuel feel Hearst's dissatisfaction because he
disturbed them.
"The chef said that Anaya only brought one set of utensils here. I came to ask if she needed another set. But from the looks of it, it's unnecessary." Anaya turned her head and asked politely, "Do you want to join us? I made a
lot of dishes tonight."
Samuel was delighted.
The food Anaya cooked was much more delicious than the food in the
canteen of the research institute. If there was a chance to enjoy it, he would certainly not miss it.
However, the next moment, after meeting Hearst's gaze, Samuel changed
what he wanted to say. "No need, my colleague and I will be eating in the canteen. The chefs here are good. I like the food they make."
Sensing the change in Samuel's attitude, Anaya turned around and looked at Hearst strangely.
