[Ellie's P.O.V.]
I guessed that it was probably because she left her mate and was suffering from withdrawal symptoms. Obviously, that man had a great influence on her. I hated that man and I was more convinced that I couldn't be like her. I would rather die than suffer such torture.
The project had reached a certain stage and it was busier than usual. Edith was right, I was getting used to the torture due to my mate's disloyalty, and gradually I didn't need to rely on the medicine anymore. Even if my stomach hurt, I would try to endure it and no longer drink medicine.
Actually, because I had been suffering from a stomachache recently, Edith told me to rest for a few days, but I didn't want to do that. I wanted to help her finish her hotel as soon as possible because I was strong. I could help move the furniture and reduce the burden on the workers as much as possible.
