Chapter 1013

After he had left, Maja wanted to pull the IV needle from her hand and head into the bathroom to brush her teeth, and her mouth tasted like metallic blood.

But just then, Maria came in, a hint of rebuke in her voice as she carried a bowl of freshly made soup.

“Ms. Pennyfeather, how could you knowingly neglect your stomach condition and not eat for two days? The doctor warned me that you need to take care of yourself. You must not forget to eat three meals a day, nor neglect it just because of work!”

Maja took the warm water Maria handed her to rinse her mouth, then looked at the delicious food on the small table, but she had no appetite.

Hearing her nagging now, she felt a sour pain in her heart and full of grievances she didn’t know who to share with.
