Her Seven Little Bodyguards novel Chapter 125

They had plenty of time alone with each other today, and the distance between them could be closed.

Vania took his hand and sat at the dining table. Then, she opened the lunch box. “Come on, try and see if you like it. If you don’t, I’ll have them change it to something else.”

Vania had asked for some light food like porridge and vegetables. Some desserts were included as well.

She didn’t dare feed him anything heavy like meat in case his stomach couldn’t take it.

When Jude caught the tantalizing scent of food, his stomach began growling again.

Once again, he lowered his head in embarrassment.

It was true that he hadn’t eaten anything in days. He dared not even imagine food that smelled so good, so how could he possibly not like them?

The best dinner he ever had was some bread the neighbors had sneaked in for him.

Even until today, he couldn’t forget that delicious taste.

When he starved, he would dream of a time when he would be able to eat another piece of bread like that.

The food he ate before was all old or rotten, having been left outside for many days. Every time he ate food like that, he would get a stomach ache that lasted for days.

Once, it was so serious that he completely blacked out and couldn’t even get up. Fortunately, the neighbors heard his cries for help and found him in time to rescue him.

Otherwise, he didn’t know where would be right now.

His sorrow and pain were visible in Vania’s eyes, and she felt her heart ache for him.

She placed some cutlery in front of him. “Let’s have dinner. You can eat all of this, but remember to eat slowly in case you choke.”

Jude licked his lips, but he did not dare to take the cutlery.

Vania couldn’t help but feel bad for him. How many beatings had he taken to the point where he had to be extra careful even when eating?

Vania sat beside him and scooped some food into his bowl. “Come, I’ll feed you.”

Jude was startled by the kind gesture, and he declined Vania’s offer with his actions.
