Under the guidance of Jardins, the girl arrived at the dining table and voraciously consumed all the leftover food.
It was apparent that she must have been hungry for quite some time.
Her face finally brightened up after filling her stomach.
"Little girl, where do you live? Why are you outside alone so late?" Jardins inquired, to which the girl chose not to respond.
Seeing her reluctance, Jardins didn't press the matter further.
The girl remained mostly silent. Jardins sensed she might have some unspeakable troubles and didn't ask any more questions. After she had eaten, Jardins led her to take a bath and arranged a room for her to rest.
The next morning, Jardins had no intention of letting the girl stay permanently. She led her to the door and handed her some pocket money.
"You should head back home, little girl. Your family must be extremely worried about you being gone for so long."
