Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run

Chapter 873

Was he seriously hoping she'd wake up just to grill fish for him?

Clara had picked a ton of wild berries yesterday-enough that she didn't have to go out again today. So, with all those leftovers, she just grilled up more than a dozen fish for him.

But she felt awful. The moment the fish were done, she shoved them into his hands and crashed right back to sleep.

He grabbed five fish in one hand, six in the other, and started chowing down like it was nothing.

Right before Clara passed out, her last thought was, Wow, this guy can really eat.

She, on the other hand, had zero appetite. Ever since she'd seen those human remains in the underground factory, the thought of eating meat made her stomach turn. She figured it'd be a long time before she could stomach it again.

She could feel heat spreading through her whole body, like she was burning up from the inside out. Her skin felt so dry, it was like all the water in her had evaporated.

If she really died here, it would be such a waste.

When she woke up again that afternoon, her mouth tasted bitter, like someone had shoved something in there while she was out.

She opened her eyes and saw the experiment subject sitting right next to her, trying to force some mashed-up herbal concoction into her mouth.

It was raw, straight-up herbal juice-so bitter her stomach lurched.
