Chapter 355: Odin’s doing
"Why are you so quiet since yesterday?" Norman asked his daughter as they sat at the breakfast table. He couldn’t help but notice that Venus hadn’t even touched her food, something that puzzled him and Rhea alike.
"Is something bothering you, dear?" Rhea asked, her voice laced with concern.
Venus shook her head, forcing a small smile. "No, it’s nothing like that," she replied. "I just don’t have much of an appetite today."
Norman frowned, his worry deepening as he looked at her. "No appetite? That’s not like you, Venus. Maybe I should call the physician to have you checked. You’re already so thin; you can’t afford to skip meals," he said, his eyes searching hers for any sign of what might be wrong.
Venus sighed softly, trying to ease her father’s concern. "Father, there’s no need for that," she reassured him. "You’re forgetting that I ate a lot last night. That’s why I’m still full this morning," she added, hoping the explanation would put his mind at ease.
"Then, you won’t have your breakfast?" Norman asked, his concern evident in his tone.
"No, I’ll eat later," Venus replied softly before excusing herself from the table.
Both Norman and Rhea watched as she walked away, the silence between them heavy with unspoken worry. Finally, Norman turned to Rhea, his voice filled with unease. "Something is definitely wrong with her."
Rhea nodded slowly. "Ever since she came back from the market yesterday, she’s seemed... different, almost as if she’s lost in her thoughts."
