After a moment, she peeled the apple, removed the core, and cut it into small pieces, then picked one up with a fork and brought it to his mouth.
"I've already said I don't want to eat."
"The doctor said you need to try to eat something to recover your digestive functions quickly." Sally Dalton moved the fork closer, "Be good, have some fruit."
"I said I don't want to eat!"
Nathan Leafcastle raised his hand to block hers, catching Sally off guard, and with a clang, it fell to the floor.
"I... I'm sorry." He was startled, quickly apologizing, "I... I just..."
He just wanted to drive her away, but seeing her startled expression, he couldn't bear it.
Sally Dalton bent down to pick up the fork and walked into the restroom to clean it.
Moments later, she returned, sat back down, and once again brought a piece of apple to his mouth.
"Sally..."
Sally Dalton said nothing, just moved the fork closer to his mouth again.
