Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 1045

"Sienna, do you still recognize me? It's Mira, your idol."

But Sienna only had eyes for the bread. It was as if she couldn't even hear a word Mira was saying.

"Sienna, do you remember Celine Ward?"

Mira tried communicating with her again, but she still got no reaction. Sienna's eyes remained glued to the food.

Left with no other option, Mira reached out to hand her the bread.

But before she could even extend her arm fully, Sienna snatched it away and aggressively shoved it into her mouth.

A split second later—*smack*—the bread was ripped out of her hands by another woman.

The older woman grabbed the bread and desperately stuffed it into her own mouth, while Sienna scrambled to snatch it back. "My bread! My bread! That's my bread..."

Helpless, Mira told Natalie to bring in a few more pieces so they could hand one to each person.

Natalie stepped out, and Mira turned back to Daisy. "Logically, they're out of that hellhole now and have enough to eat. Why are they still fighting over food?"

"Habit. It's the survival instinct they developed in there.

Every time there's food, no matter how much you bring, they will fight for it. Even if they're completely full and can't take another bite, they'll still fight for it."

"If they're already full, how can they even force it down?"

Mira asked, genuinely baffled.

"Whatever they can't finish, they hide."

Daisy pointed at the older woman chewing frantically on the bread. "I heard she's actually that girl's mother."

Sienna's mother?

Mira was stunned. "She loves her daughter so much. Why would she steal her food?"

Mrs. Stanford was a high-society lady who had willingly ventured into this literal hellscape alone just to find her daughter.

Prompted by Daisy's words, Mira examined the woman more closely. "Was she sent to the brothels too? Does she not even recognize her own daughter anymore?"
