(( CLAIRE )))

"She want you to feed her." ..

"No," I recoiled.

I'm so irked by her mouth!

"Okay, I'll feed you," Zhio said despite my answer.

"Hey I said no."

Zhio stood up and filled my plate with foods of his choosing.

"You shouldn't ditch meals. All you ate today was a bowl of soup."

"Nah, she's so choosy…"

I was surprised when he lifted the spoon to my face. The smell of the dish made me want to throw up.

"Open your mouth Claire…"

I was about to vomit again but successfully I held it in. Zhio placed the spoon down and sighed exasperatedly. His eyes looked questioningly as to why I was refusing food.

"Zhio…you could eat now."

"No. I'm not going to eat before you do."

"I'll eat later," I just told him.

"Alright. I'll eat later too."

"Zhio," another bout of vomit rose up to my throat so I left the kitchen for the bathroom.

He instantly followed and rubbed my back as I vomited.

"You're vomiting the only food you ate," he shook his head.

I don't want him to see me puking. Wasn't he disgusted?

(ZHIO)

She headed back to the room after that latest disgorge. I'm not happy at how unwell she must be feeling.

"I want to sleep," she mumbled.

"Sleep without anything in your stomach?"

"Zhio…"

"Please eat then I'll let you sleep."

She refused.

"Want some French fries?"

"No. I want to sleep."

Oh God! I didn't know what I'd do about her.

She closed her eyes exhaustedly so I yielded to her little wish. Although it was difficult for me emotionally, I knew it was harder for her.

I sat beside my study table after she dozed off to sleep.

There were flowers on it.

Upon seeing those flowers, I reminisced what Simon told me about mother.

Mom was a lover of nature and animals so she erected a greenhouse by the backyard. But apparently, it was also the same place where our ancestors murdered each other.

I didn't know if there were some otherworldly intervention but after that greenhouse was built, Mom's pregnancy became ectopic.

And when I was born, she passed away as if a sacrifice for the disturbance of the spirits.

Father initially wanted to destroy that greenhouse but he changed his mind.
