A Matter of Wife and Love by Mila

Chapter 289 Something Is off About Jodie

Ellen was squatting by the river, a bird’s nest before her.

The nest had two newly hatched chicks.

The mother of the chicks was nowhere to be found. The chicks had their eyes closed as they opened their beaks, chirping the whole time.

Ellen felt somewhat helpless though she was doing her best to feed them the worms she had captured.

However, the chicks were too young, so they could not swallow the worms.

That being said, she still kept going at it, not feeling the least bit tired.

“Tsk!”

At some point, Amelie came over and expressed herself while standing behind Ellen. She gazed at Ellen like she was watching a movie.

Meanwhile, Ellen refused to look at Amelie. She simply curled up and continued behaving as she had earlier.

Amelie approached Ellen and picked up the worms in front of her using two tiny sticks before stuffing them down the chicks’ necks.

The chicks could finally eat the worms, so they chirped contentedly.

Ellen stopped what she was doing since she was transfixed by Amelie’s actions.

Her dumbfounded eyes radiated a lifeless glow.

One could tell at a glance that she was off her rocker.

“What is Elyse planning to do? Why did she send you over?” Amelie inevitably sighed.

Only Elyse was capable of sending someone who was not of sound mind to the program.

Is she out of her mind? Amelie mused.

On the other hand, Ellen was unresponsive. As she looked at Amelie, her gaze slowly morphed into one of shock, as if she had seen a ghost.

It was primarily fear.

She curled into herself even more.

Amelie reached out and grabbed Ellen’s shoulder to gently tug at her, successfully getting her close.

“Why did you want to save these two chicks?” she asked.

Ellen shifted her gaze and her eyelashes fluttered. After some time, she finally mumbled, “They’re pitiful.”
