Chapter 130

Oliver didn't look at Peter or ask if he was hungry. Instead, Oliver went to the end of the bed and opened the presents that Brad and Jennifer had brought. There was some bread from a nice bakery in there. He took it out and opened it, passing a piece to Peter. "Here you go, Dad. You can eat with your left hand." Since the needle was in his right arm, Peter had to use his left arm to hold utensils, which was definitely inconvenient. It was much easier for him to eat bread. Oliver wanted to keep Peter company, but he was worried that Peter would feel uncomfortable, so he took a piece of bread and ate it as well. The room was silent except for the sound of their quiet chewing. Oliver and Peter had been on bad terms for more than a decade. They had never experienced such a calm moment together before. Peter suddenly coughed, and Oliver immediately poured him a glass of water. Neither of them exchanged a single word in the meantime. Peter enjoyed the calmness between him and Oliver.
