Hua Jin was but an ordinary man. He was no saint and felt that death was meaningless. He was also afraid of death. He was even more afraid… of such an inhumane death.
Whenever he closed his eyes, the image of Romanka's tragic death haunted him. Just the thought of that miserable scene made him nauseous, as if countless things were churning in his stomach. He swallowed whatever it was that had surged to his throat. He had not eaten much to begin with. If he threw up, his body would not be able to last long.
Natalia finally couldn't take it anymore. She suddenly said, "Don't give me any more of your food, okay?"
Alice and Hua Jin looked at her in surprise.
Natalia said, "I know you've always wanted to protect me. Besides, although you didn't say it aloud and tried to hide it, I knew that you secretly gave me your food. Actually, it's not necessary. I don't need so much food. You'll collapse if you keep eating so little."
