The two of them had dinner in the room.
The meal was delivered by Willie Ash, who Hutchinson had asked to do the favor.
Willie hadn’t seen Flossie Wright for three months. When they met in the morning, Flossie was not fully awake, and now finally seeing her alive and well, Willie was unusually enthusiastic, lingering for a few minutes before Hutchinson, with a sullen face, gave him a cold stare that scared him off alive.
Flossie pretended not to notice anything, minding her own business as she ate.
Her left arm was injured, but her right hand was fine, which avoided the awkward scene of Hutchinson feeding her again, and she ate this meal very quickly.
Hutchinson was not in a hurry, because with his right hand injured, he ate slowly.
Flossie, having finished eating, immediately put down her chopsticks and stared at Hutchinson.
It wasn’t a flirty stare, but a very blatant and straightforward "hint."
Helplessly, Hutchinson had to put down his bowl and chopsticks.
"Let her come over after she finishes eating."
Facing Flossie’s gaze, Hutchinson spoke with almost helplessness.

He, a living person in front of Flossie, wasn’t even given a proper look, yet a person who used to share a dormitory with her kept her worried in mind...
And she never gets tired of looking?!
Flossie nodded.
Soon she withdrew her gaze.
It wasn’t that she didn’t care about Hutchinson, but she was more curious about the relationship between Belinda Nichols and Ice.
Initially, when she saw Ice, she thought he looked familiar, and during subsequent interactions, she realized it wasn’t that she had seen Ice but that she was familiar with Belinda.
Turns out, Ice and Belinda also had some resemblance.
Especially that icy personality, it was downright identical.
The picky eating habit...
Goes without saying.
Coincidence that even surprised Flossie herself.
So, taking this opportunity, Flossie really wanted to get Belinda over to verify it.
"When will you be back?" Noticing Flossie’s absent-mindedness, Hutchinson asked beside her.
"Earliest tomorrow." Flossie said casually.
"Earliest?" Hutchinson was a bit displeased.
"Mm." Flossie nodded, explaining to Hutchinson, "There’s something I need to handle."
"What’s the matter?" Hutchinson narrowed his eyes, ready to get to the bottom.
In fact, he didn’t really want to know specifically what Flossie was going to do. What he wanted to know more was how Flossie had been living these three months or what things she had experienced, whether she had encountered danger or anything else.
He wanted to understand her.
Three months, her survival in West Hare, that in itself was a dangerous thing.
Unlike him, whose life was monotonous to the point of being dull.
Thinking about it, just as Flossie was about to speak, she saw a figure flashing at the door, immediately stood up from the chair, then raised an eyebrow at Hutchinson, "I’ll tell you when I get back."
Saying that, she walked straight to the door.
Hutchinson lifted his eyes and indeed caught sight of Belinda standing at the door.
His face couldn’t help but darken.
Soon after, he stood up as well.
Although he promised Flossie not to follow, it didn’t mean that Hutchinson wouldn’t do something else.
For example, see them off out the door.
For example, instruct Belinda to pay attention to Flossie’s safety.
After three months, seeing Flossie again, Belinda was calmer than expected, with a faint expression, understood Flossie’s intentions after hearing them out, nodded, and then made no further comment, only simply acknowledged Hutchinson’s words.
