Lilia peeked through the bushes with eyes full of fear. After confirming that the men were still busy arguing, she started moving.
Lilia took off her backpack and opened it slowly, being careful not to make the slightest sound. Then she took out a chocolate bar and her drinking bottle. Lilia guessed that the child must be starving after running fast since earlier. She unwrapped the chocolate and broke it into small pieces before feeding it into the boy's mouth.
But the boy didn't accept it right away. He closed his mouth tightly, as if he couldn't trust the food someone else was giving him.
Lilia took turns staring at the child and the chocolate in her hand. She frowned as she racked her brains, trying to find a way to get the boy to eat the chocolate. Finally, Lilia broke the piece of chocolate in half, then she ate the piece in front of the child.
