Chapter 17 - 16 - Spoiling My Stomach
'Is placing her in a life-or-death situation enough?'
'I'll have to think about that later.'
Grrrmble~
The sound of her stomach growling echoed, demanding to be fed. If this were his past self, his body wouldn't have begged for food. After all, back then, he had been starving so often since being kicked out of the house.
Lev picked up an apple lying on the small table next to his bed.
He was reminded of unpleasant memories from the past. There were times when he had to scavenge for food from the trash, steal and get beaten as a lesson, or beg on his knees, kissing the ground, just to get something to eat.
What made it even more painful was when he caught a fever and had to shiver alone in a filthy alley. No one cared; every person was too busy shopping at the market or simply going about their day.
'Until she came to me...'
In short, he had been used to going hungry for days back then.
In contrast to the past, nowadays, it hadn't even been 24 hours, and his stomach was already begging for food.
When he saw the sun setting through the window, he finally understood his body's reaction. '... It's probably normal since I've been unconscious from morning until evening.'
