Chapter 194 A Bowl of Warmth 

“Cameron.” 

Rosalie interrupted him, then turned to Leon. “Bring the leftover food from the kitchen. Let him eat something. This child looks half starved.” 

Reid was indeed young, only 15, yet quite thin and small for his age. 

Rosalie held out her hand. The boy hesitated for a moment before placing his hand in hers. She led him to the kitchen. 

The leftover oatmeal and dishes were reheated and set on the table. Reid sat stiffly, his hands on his knees, his eyes locked on the food. 

The smell was incredible. He swallowed hard. Rosalie placed the spoon in his hand and said gently, “Eat. It’s all for you.” 

With permission given, Reid could not hold back. He hugged the bowl and ate fast, almost without stopping. 

He finished all the dishes and a large pot of oatmeal. He even swallowed the chili peppers meant as side dishes. 

Rosalie noticed he barely chewed. He just swallowed everything whole. 

The fur clothing he wore was far too big, likely something someone else had discarded. It hung loosely on him. 

His wrist peeked out from the wide sleeve, so thin it looked like it could snap with one twist. Rosalie felt uneasy. 

There were plenty of resources near Sovereign City. Even without money, hunting should be enough to survive. 

How could someone be starved to skin and bones? Was he being … abused? 

Reid kept eating until he finished everything. It was the best meal he had had in a long time, and his stomach, empty for ages, was finally full again. 

He looked at Rosalie with guilt and said softly, “I’m sorry. I was too hungry. I’ve smelled food from 

your place for days. I couldn’t hold back. 

“I really didn’t mean any harm. I just wanted to borrow some food. 

“I can pay it back. I won’t eat for free.” 

He looked up and saw Rosalie’s tall beastmen, then glanced down at his own weak body. He bit his lip until it turned red. 

He was so useless. No wonder no one liked him. He was nothing but a burden. 

As his thoughts started to spiral, Rosalie took his hand and placed a piece of candied fruit into his palm.
