Time passed quickly. The Yuanzhou shop only had two hours for dinner, and they didn't have to wait at the door after getting their orders.
Therefore, Rachel took the three of them to walk around Taoxi Road, and they even saw Meaty Plenty crawling on Broth's body.
Sharon was very happy, and she even played with Broth in high spirits.
Broth was a smart dog, so it cooperated with Sharon's teasing. It even got a few cans of dog food and cat food.
There was now a pet supply store on Taoxi Road, and Magnon bought the canned dog food and cat food himself.
After the group of people came back, they waited for another half an hour before it was their turn to eat in the restaurant.
Rachel was working, so she didn't sit down. She only entered the restaurant to help the three of them order their food.
Since Sharon was in a wheelchair, when the four of them entered the restaurant, the customers at the table quietly gave up their seats for them.
"I only need three seats. I don't have to wait in line," Rachel said quickly.
Hearing that, a young man returned to the table with a bowl in his hand.
"Thank you." Both Magnon and Dr. Herbert politely thanked him in broken Chinese.
Sharon also smiled and nodded at those who gave up their seats to express her gratitude.
"It's really small here," Magnon said.
Dr. Herbert nodded and said, "It's indeed a little unexpected."
"There's only Mr. Yuan Zhou in the restaurant, so it's a little small," Rachel explained with a smile.
"The menu is on the table and behind. You can order and pay before you eat," Zhou Jia said.
"Okay, I understand," Rachel nodded and translated her words for the three of them.
The three of them didn't have any objections, and they picked up the menu one after another.
Both Magnon and Dr. Herbert were conservative, and ordered only the familiar Wellington and Danish roast pork. Both of them were quick with their orders.
Sharon didn't know what to do with the menu. After they finished ordering, she asked, "Do I need to avoid food? The dishes on the menu look good."
Sharon sounded relaxed, but she was actually a little worried. After all, she really had no appetite at the moment.
Fortunately, although the shop was small, there was no smell of smoke, and there was no smell of food. She always felt that the smell of food was a little greasy, and she had no appetite after smelling it.
But as soon as she entered the shop, she realized that there was no smell at all. There was only her most comfortable, tasteless, or rather, familiar smell lingering at the tip of her nose.
This made her feel comfortable, but she couldn't find anything she wanted to eat after looking at the thick menu. She didn't want her good friend and husband to worry, so she asked.
"Oh, don't worry, Sharon. You can eat whatever you want," Dr. Herbert said casually.
"Yes, Sharon. Do you need my advice?" Magnon asked thoughtfully.
"That would be the best." Sharon nodded.
"How about this corn cooked rice? I heard that the porridge cooked by the Chinese is very soft and fragrant. I think you'll like it. "Magnon pointed at a plain porridge.
"Okay, I'll take this. After all, I've always liked corn chowder." Sharon nodded.
"Actually, this is corn porridge, not corn chowder. It's a kind of food that's cooked with rice and corn," Rachel explained as concisely as she could.
"That's fine. I think I can accept it," Sharon turned to Rachel and said.
"Okay, I'll place the order for the three of you." Rachel nodded and called Zhou Jia over to place the order.
After the order was placed, Rachel walked out of the shop and waited outside.
Of course, without exception, the three of them paid in US dollars.
The three of them didn't care about the price. They were just looking forward to Sharon eating more.
Herbert, on the other hand, was thinking about the magic of the food here. Could it really make a pancreatic cancer patient eat something that had lost his appetite?
Yuan Zhou didn't let the three of them wait. Soon, their dishes were served one after another. However, Herbert and Magnon weren't interested in the food in front of them at all. They just stared at Sharon, waiting for her to eat.
Sharon ordered a bowl of plain corn porridge. The plain corn porridge was served in a small white porcelain bowl.
The bowl was so small that even a girl could hold it in one hand. Sharon placed her bony hand on the bowl's surface. She could feel the warmth from the bowl and a faint fragrance of grains wafted into her nose.
Sharon was familiar with the smell of corn. The smell of corn was different from others. It smelled like the smell of corn that had just been plucked from the stalk and the leaves were peeled off.
The fragrance was light and comforting. The porridge in the bowl was thick, and a layer of rice oil floated on top. The rice grains glowed with a beautiful luster under the soft lights of the shop, and the golden corn grains were embellished within.
"It smells good and looks good," Sharon said as she picked up the spoon.
"Try it and see if it's the taste you like," Magnon said calmly while holding back the excitement in his heart.
"Yes, Sharon, give it a try. It does look pretty good," Dr. Herbert said.
"Okay." Sharon nodded. She scooped half a spoonful of porridge and slowly put it into her mouth.
As the spoon got closer to her mouth, the aroma of rice and corn got thicker, but it wasn't uncomfortable at all. Instead, it made Sharon salivate and had the urge to eat, which she hadn't felt for a long time.
Sharon moved a little faster. She directly put half a spoonful of porridge into her mouth.
As soon as the porridge entered her mouth, the fragrance of rice filled her mouth. The porridge was soft and smooth. The fragrance of rice rushed down her throat and into her stomach, leaving her feeling warm.
It was a very comfortable feeling. Sharon couldn't help but chew. As she chewed, she bit through the tender corn grains. The corn grains exploded instantly, and the sweet fragrance of corn filled the air.
The aroma of the corn mixed with the fragrance of the porridge instantly alleviated Sharon's bitter taste buds, and a sweet sensation spread across the tip of her tongue.
"Hmm, not bad." Sharon was surprised. She scooped another spoonful of porridge and put it into her mouth.
Magnon and Herbert looked at each other. Both of their eyes were filled with surprise. Magnon couldn't help but pinch the corner of the table.
Dr. Herbert watched as Sharon slowly fed herself spoonfuls of porridge. He muttered softly, "This is a medical miracle."
Yes, it wasn't a miracle. Sharon was suffering from pancreatic cancer. She couldn't eat due to the pain, but she could still eat in the shop.
Although being able to eat couldn't cure cancer, it could at least reduce the pain and allow her body to absorb some nutrients. She didn't have to rely on transfusions to maintain her life.
