Chapter 44 He Is Just My Brother (Part One)
The hunter's wife put the food on the table and said in an envious tone.
"Mr. Bill treats his wife so well. You are so lucky."
There was a hint of displeasure in Euralia's eyes.
"He is my brother." She refuted at once. She was very unhappy that they were regarded as a couple. After all, she couldn't accept that kind of relationship.
The woman replied with an awkward smile.
"I thought you were... I'm sorry for misunderstanding."
"That's okay." Although Bill minded it, he could only laugh it off. The relationship between him and Euralia had just returned to the way it used to be, and he didn't want it to be ruined. Now the most important thing was to stay with her.
The hunter's wife brought in the food and then went out.
Having not eaten anything for a day and a night, Euralia temporarily forgot the embarrassment by seeing the food. Nothing was more important than eating now. So she picked up the chopsticks and ate the food with relish.
Although the foods back home were delicacies of every kind, they still couldn't compare with these from the nature.
"Bill, have you eaten?" Asked Euralia.
Bill shook his head subconsciously. He was still thinking about what she had just said, and he did not come to himself for a while.
"Here you are." She picked up a piece of meat and put it to his mouth.
Bill opened his mouth and saw that she looked much better. Finally, he let out a sigh of relief. Sometimes, he also thought that it was not bad to be her brother and take care of her all his life.
As long as she didn't get married!
"Taste these wild vegetables again. They are so delicious." She picked up some more and fed him.
He took another bite. It was really delicious.
They ate a lot and enjoyed sharing food.
In the afternoon, as Euralia's fever had been brought down, she begged again and again, and finally, Bill allowed her to go out. He worried that she would have a relapse of her illness if she went out to have a walk.
However, he still could not bear to let her down after she asked for his permission in the end, so he had to go out with her.
The forest at night looked dark and scary, but in the daytime, it was full of birds' singing and fragrance of flowers. Living in the bustling city, they enjoyed the beauty of the nature.
Of course, they came out not only for fun, but also for food. They lived in the hunter's house and ate what they got back for hard work. Now that she got better, they would find some food in person.
"Bill, this is what we ate just now." Under the tree, Euralia found a lot of wild vegetables.
Bill walked over and they picked a lot. The basket they brought out was soon full.
She was as happy as a bird. She had been so happy since she came out that she kept humming a tune.
He couldn't stop smiling when he saw her happy face.
"Bill, we have got enough vegetables, but we still need some meat." She suddenly thought of the roasted fish that she had with him in the forest that night. She couldn't help swallowing.
Feeling her thought, Bill led her to a pond not far from the hunter's house.
The pond was usually used for them to wash vegetables and clothes for daily use. The water was not stained at all and they could see the fish swimming freely in it.
Bill stepped into the water and started to catch them. Euralia felt it was fun to get involved, but he refused to let her get down there. She just had a fever and couldn't touch water in order to prevent it from happening again.
Therefore, she could only look at the blue sky and her brother who was catching fish in the water.
At this moment, she felt life was quite and happy. She was no longer afraid of facing this forest.
"Yes, we did."
As a matter of fact, Bill found that this kind of life was very interesting. He had inserted a huge fish into his stick.
At the sight of this big fish, Euralia ran over happily, thinking that it must taste very delicious, especially the roasted fish made by her brother.
In the end, they got back with a fruitful harvest.
The hunter's family hadn't come back yet. They decided to cook together and wait for them to have lunch when they came back. They were grateful for the family's care in the past few days.
But there was a problem. They hadn't cooked yet.
They looked at each other when they arrived in the kitchen.
"Bill, how to cook?" Euralia was already in the kitchen, filling the pot with rice. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
Although Bill didn't cook personally, he knew how to cook.
"Let me teach you." He walked to the tank and scooped up a spoonful of water to the pot.
Then he rubbed the rice with his hands. Seeing this, she also began to rub the rice with him.
"Oh, that's how you cook rice." Euralia's little hands stirred in the pot and collided with his hand from time to time.
"Well, you can't touch the water for too long." He grabbed her little hands and was worried that she might catch a cold.
"Bill, I'm not made of water. I'm made of cement. My body is indestructible." As soon as she recovered, she began to play with each other, even forgetting how weak she was.
"Naughty girl again!" Bill smiled and put her hands down.
"Okay. I'm hungry, too. I will stay aside and watch you cooking. Is that okay?" She pouted.
He began to prepare the roasted fish and other dishes. Although it was the first time he cooked, he worked hard, and the dishes were not bad.
When the delicious dishes were out of the kitchen, Euralia put them on the table. They looked exactly like a couple and cooperated with each other very well.
