Chapter 12: Never Forget the Taste
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
At Troon Restaurant.
A man sat quietly in a chair, elegantly picked up a napkin and spread it over his legs.
He was properly dressed in suit and wore an expensive and luxurious watch on his hand. It was no exaggeration to say that he could trade that watch for a luxury villa.
The man's name was Aidan, and he was a well-known entrepreneur in the city, often appearing on television and in magazines.
He had several businesses under his name, and they were worth tens of billions. He had mansions, villas, custom-made sports cars, private planes, and yachts. There were countless of them.
Many socialites and female celebrities had taken the initiative to pursue him and tried to become his girlfriend.
Normally, Aidan should have already reached the peak of his life, and he should be living an extremely carefree life.
But now, his eyes were filled with despair.
Aidan had a very serious anorexia, and this condition had lasted for a very long time.
At first, he only ate fewer meals. As time passed, his appetite became smaller and smaller, and he became more and more disgusted with eating. Finally, he just had to bite down on his food in agony.
Because of his anorexia, he began to lose weight.
He was clearly a successful entrepreneur with a lot of power and wealth.
But now, his eyes were lifeless, and he was skinny. He was so skinny that it was as if a strong wind would blow him down.
The reason why Aidan had anorexia was because he had accidentally drunk a glass of red wine a month ago.
That kind of red wine gave him a feeling that no other wine could compare to.
He could taste the strong fragrance on his tongue after drinking it. If he swallowed it into his stomach, there would be a sweet residue.
His entire body seemed to soar in the air.
From then on, Aidan fell madly in love with the taste of that red wine and became more and more obsessed with it.
But when Aidan wanted to buy that red wine again, he found that the method of making that red wine had been lost for many years. No one knew how to make it.
This also caused the quantity of that red wine to be extremely rare. No money could buy it.
Even if he paid a sky-high price of ten thousand dollars to buy this red wine from all over the world, no one would sell it.
His longing for this particular red wine continued to grow stronger.
This also made him feel like he was eating a candle when he ate any food. His heart was extremely nauseous.
Many doctors had treated Aidan, but there was no effect.
His illness was very easy to treat. All he needed to do was drink that red wine again.
But it was very hard to find that red wine again. There was no production of this wine in the world. He couldn't drink it anymore.
In despair, he came to Troon Restaurant.
Because only the owner of Troon Restaurant Louis, personally made the food, he still had some desire to eat it.
In other restaurants, even if it was food made by a Michelin chef, he would think it was garbage.
Just then, the sound of high heels came from the restaurant door.
It was Louis who had returned.
Aidan often came to the restaurant to eat, Louis was his daughter after all.
Looking at her father who was getting weaker and weaker, she couldn't help but sigh.
Aidan was even thinner than before, and she didn't know how many days he could last.
"Same set meal as before, thank you." Aidan smiled politely.
Louis nodded and turned to enter the kitchen.
Not long after, a well-prepared steak was pushed in front of Aidan.
Aidan's expression immediately changed.
Previously, he could still eat a few mouthfuls of Louis's steak.
But now that he saw the steak, he no longer had any appetite.
His illness became even more serious.
This time, there was no food in the world that he could take a bite.
Without food to sustain himself, he could only rely on medicine to forcibly provide energy. This also meant that his life was about to come to an end.
After a long silence, Aidan stood up and took out the money and placed them on the table. "Keep the change."
The current him was not some rich man, not an entrepreneur, but just an ordinary person.
In the face of death, any wealth and power seemed particularly useless.
Louis looked at the untouched steak and fell into silence.
She also guessed in her heart that Aidan's anorexia was getting worse.
"Why is it so hard to find that wine?" Aidan pushed the door open and sighed helplessly.
"Wine?" Louis only knew that Eden had anorexia, but she didn't know that it was because of the wine.
She thought of the strange drink made by Jon.
Perhaps, that drink could help Eden?
"I have a juice here that taste similar to red wine. Do you want to try it? Louis stopped Aidan.
Aidan stopped in his tracks and turned his head to look at the drink bottle in Louis's hand.
The packaging was very ordinary, like that kind of low-quality red wine.
Ever since he became obsessed with that kind of red wine, he had bought all the red wines in the world that could be bought.
However, no kind of red wine could compare with the taste of that particular red wine.
All kinds of red wine were insignificant in front of that wine, like trash.
He didn't even like ordinary red wine anymore, but now Louis wanted him to taste the juice?
Wasn't that a joke?
Regarding the juice in Louis's hand, Aidan didn't have any hope in his heart.
"Forget it." Aidan waved his hand and left without looking back.
Louis did not try to persuade him. She took out a goblet and prepared to taste it herself.
This juice was only given to her by Jon. The one that she made was still less tasty than Jon's, and she needed to learn to make it.
She needed to take a sip and remember the taste.
However, when she lifted the bottle cap, Aidan suddenly stopped in his tracks.
The fragrance of this drink was very strong. After Louis opened it, the entire hall was filled with the fragrance, and everyone could smell it.
For a wine fan like Aidan, he could smell the fragrance of the wine clearly!
"This familiar fragrance..."
Aidan's eyes were fixed on the drink in Louis's hand, and he gulped.
The wine that he had been searching for all this time was in front of him!
"Sorry, please give me this glass of red wine, oh no, the juice." Aidan hurriedly took the goblet in Louis's hand and drank it.
His eyes were wide open, and his face was full of shock.
The collision of red wine and taste buds, that familiar feeling appeared again!
It was sweet and delicious, with wonderful aftertaste.
It was that kind of wine! It was the kind of wine that he had drunk before!
It was the wine that he had been searching so hard for!
Gulp, gulp, gulp...
Normal people drank wine carefully, while Aidan drank the drink in large mouthfuls.
This feeling was like a person who was about to die of thirst in the desert, then he saw a clear spring in front of him!
Everyone was dumbfounded. This was the first time they had seen Aidan lose his manner like this.
He was alive. Aidan felt that he was alive.
His numb and stiff tongue also regained its senses.
As the drink entered his throat, Aidan felt that he was no longer a walking corpse. He regained his life.
The next second, he felt hungry.
Looking at Louis's steak again, Aidan rushed over and gobbled it down like a wolf or a tiger.
The so-called gentlemanly manner and the so-called image of a successful person were gone.
He was like a person who had been hungry for three days and three nights. He felt delicious when he saw all the food.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
They couldn't believe that Aidan's anorexia had recovered?!
