Chapter 109: Soft And Juicy
Sosora could smell the delicious scent of cooking long before they arrived at Nick’s place. It stirred her hunger for the first time since she woke up. She finally felt like eating.
At the same time, it roused her frustration again. She could smell the food, and she knew in her head where Nick’s place was. Her body was also fully functional. She wanted to rush forward and see what Nick was cooking.
It smelled differently from anything he had made before.
But because the two marbles in her head had been scratched a little, she had to walk at half the speed of a snail. She had to lift her feet and put them down gently. Straight up and straight down.
She also had to pay attention to what Malak was saying and doing since he was guiding her away from the trees that she was about to walk straight into every fifth laborious step she took.
A trip that wouldn’t have even taken her twenty minutes before she went blind now took her several hours.
The delicious smell only made it that much worse.
The only things that helped distract her were the loud sounds of both her and Malak’s hearts beating like wild horses racing across a vast field and the smell of paper, wood, stone, and sweat from Malak.
She almost couldn’t believe she hadn’t thought or noticed how good he smelled before.
