Chapter 19- My money for meat is gone

With trembling hands, Eva brought out her money pouch. The salesperson sighed impatiently at her slow actions. Unaware of her heartache.

She counted the coins slowly, her fingers shaking as she placed them into his hand. When he tried to pull them away, she gripped them tightly, unwilling to let go.

"Hmph!" he scoffed, yanking the coins from her grasp.

Julian and Ethan exchanged glances and said nothing, giving her space to mourn her loss.

Eva averted her eyes, unable to watch her precious coins disappear into the man's drawer. 'Woo hoo༼⁠;⁠´⁠༎ຶ⁠ ⁠۝ ⁠༎ຶ⁠༽' she cried inwardly. 'My money for meat is gone.'

Her gaze was filled with sadness and loss as they went downstairs. Eva walked in a daze, passing by Selina, who was frozen in terror and shock when she saw Eva alive.

"It's not that bad, you can still-'" Julian's following words were stuck in his throat by her vacant stare on him.
