600 Struggles of a Longing Man (7)

I chuckled to wipe my son's crying face as tears also lingered in my eyes. This moment is so important for the two of us, who were waiting for Eli to come back, or at least, heal. 

Ironically, even as we ate in tears, the taste of the food we ate was a hundred times better than those that had been carefully prepared by the imperial chefs in the palace. 

Along with it was a hope that from this point forward, Eli's consciousness would become better. There might be no assurance that her memories of us would come back, but the possibility that she would soon recognize us as her family is more than enough.

In the end, Little Han was full after having two servings of food, while I slowed my pace down to keep with Eli's phase. 

As Kayden advised before, it is not good for Eli to eat a lot in one go, so I know not to force her to eat that much. 

I waited until she dropped her utensils and moved from her original position.
