Chapter 125 I’ve Found You

They had plenty of time alone with each other today, and the distance between them could be closed.

Vania took his hand and sat at the dining table. Then, she opened the lunch box. “Come on, try and see if you like it. If you don’t, I’ll have them change it to something else.”

Vania had asked for some light food like porridge and vegetables. Some desserts were included as well.

She didn’t dare feed him anything heavy like meat in case his stomach couldn’t take it.

When Jude caught the tantalizing scent of food, his stomach began growling again.

Once again, he lowered his head in embarrassment.

It was true that he hadn’t eaten anything in days. He dared not even imagine food that smelled so good, so how could he possibly not like them?

The best dinner he ever had was some bread the neighbors had sneaked in for him.

Even until today, he couldn’t forget that delicious taste.

When he starved, he would dream of a time when he would be able to eat another piece of bread like that.

The food he ate before was all old or rotten, having been left outside for many days. Every time he ate food like that, he would get a stomach ache that lasted for days.

Once, it was so serious that he completely blacked out and couldn’t even get up. Fortunately, the neighbors heard his cries for help and found him in time to rescue him.

Otherwise, he didn’t know where would be right now.

His sorrow and pain were visible in Vania’s eyes, and she felt her heart ache for him.

She placed some cutlery in front of him. “Let’s have dinner. You can eat all of this, but remember to eat slowly in case you choke.”

Jude licked his lips, but he did not dare to take the cutlery.

Vania couldn’t help but feel bad for him. How many beatings had he taken to the point where he had to be extra careful even when eating?

Vania sat beside him and scooped some food into his bowl. “Come, I’ll feed you.”

Jude was startled by the kind gesture, and he declined Vania’s offer with his actions.

Still, Vania didn’t back down.

In the end, Jude couldn’t win against her, so he took the cutlery himself.

Still, as he looked at the delicacies and clean cutlery, he felt a little scared to dig in.

“You can eat everything here. I’ll accompany you.”

With that, Vania grabbed her own cutlery and took a bite, showing Jude an example.

When he saw Vania’s actions, Jude finally took a hesitating bite out of the food Vania placed in his bowl.

When he put it in his mouth, he almost forgot how to chew.

How could such delicious food exist?

He forcefully rubbed his red eyes with his arm, hoping he could rub away the tears before they fell.

Vania felt her throat tighten, and she turned around to suppress the sorrow in her chest. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

She then placed more food in his bowl and explained the menu to him.

Jude ate in small bites at first, but as time progressed, he started caring less and began scarfing down the food. This was probably due to his hunger.

Vania kept rubbing his back. “Slow down, and don’t let it get stuck in your throat. No one is snatching it from you.”

Jude ate with the speed of a tornado, and he soon licked everything clean.

Vania could only feel pain in her heart, for he had been starving for too many days.

Fortunately, the food she prepared was easily digestible, or he would suffer again.

After finishing his meal, Jude noticed that Vania hadn’t eaten much. He curled himself into a ball again as if he had committed a mistake.

Vania patted him lightly. “Don’t blame yourself. I’ve eaten a lot too. Also, now that I’ve found you, I’m filled with so much happiness that I don’t feel hungry at all.”
