Chapter 244: Relieved

"Ha..."

Maria woke up unusually late today.

Her mental state right now was very poor.

But there was no way around it; having seen such a cruel scene last night and learned of the many inhumane things those drug dealers had done, she would see that scene whenever she closed her eyes.

This kept her up very late, only falling asleep when her energy could barely hold out.

Yet even though she did eventually fall asleep, she did not sleep very well.

She looked at little Nagi and Miss I Cheng sleeping in a quilt beside her.

Although some frowning was still visible on little Nagi's face, having Miss I Cheng nearby had reduced little Nagi's fear somewhat.

As expected, Mr. Amamiya was right; yesterday's events were too much for many people.

"Gurgle~~~"

Her stomach suddenly made a faint sound.

Maria held her stomach, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

She had vomited everything she ate for lunch and breakfast last night, and on top of that, she could not eat anything last night due to nausea.

Now, after getting up, she felt her stomach was truly aching with hunger.

She touched her stomach, then carefully got out from under the quilt.

Putting on a wind-blocking yukata, she quietly left the room.

Stepping out of the room, she headed straight for the kitchen.

However, the path to the kitchen required passing through the main hall, where she saw Mr. Amamiya sitting there early in the morning.

And the table in the main hall was covered with food.

Maria took a careful look; it was the food that had not been eaten last night.

Mr. Amamiya, who was having breakfast, also saw Maria.

"Gurgle~~~"

Just then, Maria's stomach made a protesting sound once again.

This made Maria cover her stomach with a slightly flushed face.

"You vomited everything clean yesterday, haven't had dinner yet; it's normal to be hungry."

"Miss Maria, come eat first."

"Although it is leftovers from yesterday, given your current situation, you have no choice."

Indeed.
