Rhea had been sleeping for a whole day and before Knox brought her here, she did not eat anything, therefore, it was out of her control when her stomach growled.
Despite her fear and embarrassment, she had to admit it. "I am hungry," Rhea said timidly.
"What?" Knox was in disbelief. This was so absurd. The two of them were in the middle of an intense discussion, but she declared that she wanted to eat. It was so out of the blue.
"My tummy hurts. I am hungry," Rhea said. She was crying again, but this time she cried because she realized how hungry she was. "I am thirsty…" Crying had drained her energy and made her throat hurt too.
Knox blinked his eyes. This was ridiculous. Was a child around her age so ignorant?
"What do you usually eat?" Knox asked with a frown.
"The food that mommy usually cooks."
"Aside from that."
