Meg was also a little surprised when he saw Vanessa and the palace maids helping Sindera out of the carriage.
In his memory, the queen had always been dignified and elegant. She spoke softly and slowly, and she was gentle and kind.
However, she now looked pale and skinny, and there were still some silver strands in her hair. It was as if she had aged more than ten years in an instant.
Meg had already thought of the reason. It seemed that Josh's death had brought her great sorrow.
No matter what kind of demon he was in the eyes of the world, in her heart, he was still the child that she had given birth to and raised painstakingly.
Meg couldn't develop any feelings of disgust toward such a mother. Instead, he thought about how he had fallen into the water and died. He wondered if that cold woman would be sad too.
Meg stepped aside and watched as Vanessa and the palace maids helped Vanessa into the room and sat down.
The heater was on in the dining room, and the temperature was very comfortable.
Vanessa helped Sindera untie the fox fur coat and draped it over the chair so that she could lean comfortably against the back of the chair.
"What do you want to eat?" Meg poured two cups of warm water for the mother and daughter, and added two drops of Life Water.
"Thank you." Sindera nodded slightly at Meg. She held the crystal cup with her cold hands, and felt the warmth. She picked up the cup and took a sip of the water.
The sweet Life Water touched her chapped lips and nourished her gently. The faint fragrance slid down her throat, and it was as if the dry earth had suddenly been nourished by a spring. She couldn't help but relax her eyebrows.
Life Water wasn't considered a precious item in the royal family, but after slowly drinking a cup of water, Sindera felt that she was alive again.
She felt the hunger, the weakness of her body, and the desire for food.
"Mother, what would you like to eat?" Vanessa pushed the menu in front of Sindera. She also scanned the menu, and couldn't help but swallow when she saw the new dishes.
"Give me some," Syndra said with a smile.
Vanessa looked at it for a while and said, "Then I'll order you a congee with pork and century egg, two soup dumplings, and a cup of soy milk. The soup dumplings are a new product. I haven't eaten them before, but they look good."
"Alright." Syndra nodded.
Meg looked at Vanessa closing the menu and couldn't help but smile. "What about you? What are you eating? "
"Me?" Vanessa was surprised. She shook her head and said, "It's not business hours now. I can't trouble Mr. Mak to cook for me. It's already very good of you to cook for my mother."
"Let's try the shaved noodles. It's a new dish that was released the day before yesterday. Also, give me two soup dumplings." Meg turned around and walked into the kitchen with a smile, not giving Vanessa a chance to refuse.
This girl's eyes were green with envy when she looked at the menu, but she still resisted the urge to eat.
"This Mr. Meg is really a good person." Syndra looked at Meg's back and smiled gently. However, when she saw him pick up the kitchen knife, she was slightly stunned. She seemed to feel that his side profile was a little familiar, but she couldn't remember who he looked like.
"Yes, Mr. Mak is a super good person. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be able to eat now." Vanessa nodded and looked at Meg in the kitchen with her chin in her hand. Her eyes were filled with the dough that was constantly changing forms in his hands.
The dough was distributed in advance last night, but the soup dumplings and shaved noodles had to be made on the spot.
Fortunately, the congee with pork and century egg for the cleaners was cooking in the pot, and it was just right. He scooped a bowl for Queen Syndra and brought it out to let her fill her stomach first.
The congee with pork and century egg that had just come out of the pot was steaming hot. There were a few green onions scattered on the surface, and the fragrance of the meat was already wafting over.
Syndra, who hadn't eaten for a few days, smelled the fragrance of the meat, and her stomach was already growling uncontrollably. Her eyes were fixed on the congee in front of her.
Bits of lean meat were hidden in the snow-white congee, and there were pieces of century egg that had an amber-like texture. The green onions made the congee even brighter.
"It's a little hot. Mother, be careful." Vanessa took the spoon and put it in the bowl as she softly reminded her.
"Okay." Syndra found it a little funny. When she was young, she always reminded the little one to be careful of the heat. Now, it was the other way around, and she felt warm in her heart.
She scooped up a spoonful of congee with the spoon, blew on it gently, and put it into her mouth.
The warm congee melted in her mouth. It was sticky, but the texture was exceptionally smooth. The shredded meat was also soft. When she bit into it gently, the fragrance of the meat wantonly wantonly in her mouth. It was fresh and delicious.
After swallowing it, she felt a warm current slide down her throat into her stomach slowly. Her stomach that had been tortured by hunger for many days warmed up, and she felt comfortable all over.
The century egg was slightly springy and had a special fragrance, giving this bowl of congee a deeper taste.
Her original resistance to food was completely defeated in this mouthful of congee.
"The Queen is eating!" The palace maid at the side covered her mouth in surprise. One had to know that the palace chefs had been racking their brains to make all kinds of food for the Queen these past few days, but she didn't even eat a single bite. She didn't expect that she would eat a simple bowl of congee now.
"Mother really knows how to eat the food made by Mr. Mak!" Vanessa was also overjoyed and excited. Fortunately, she wasn't desperate. Otherwise, she wouldn't know how to explain it to her father.
Syndra ate one mouthful after another, and in a short while, the entire bowl of congee with pork and century egg was gone.
She was stunned when she saw the bottom of the bowl of congee. Only then did she realize that she had been wolfing down the food just now, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, there was no one else in the dining hall. Meg was also busy in the kitchen, and probably didn't see it.
"Is it good?" Vanessa asked with a smile as she wiped the corner of her mouth with a silk handkerchief.
"It's the most delicious congee I've ever eaten." Syndra nodded with a smile.
After this bowl of congee, Syndra felt that she had recovered a lot of her strength, and her spirit became more active. The haze in her heart was swept away, and she seemed to feel that life had become more hopeful.
If the rising sun in the morning gave her the courage to start afresh, then this bowl of congee made her feel the beauty of life again.
The warmth warmed her heart, and the delicious taste brought her a long-lost happiness.
"This is soup dumplings. There's a simple introduction on the menu. The soup inside is very hot, so be careful when you eat it." Meg came out with two baskets of soup dumplings. There were three in each basket, and he placed them in front of Syndra and Vanessa.
"Thank you, Mr. Mak!" Vanessa blinked at him gratefully.
Meg just smiled and turned to go back into the kitchen.
He was the one who killed Josh, but with the addition of new and old grudges, and with the addition of getting rid of evil for the people, Meg didn't feel guilty at all.
This breakfast was for Vanessa, and it had nothing to do with Josh.
