At that moment, Abigail pondered about Analise.
Once upon a time, Analise also relied on labor to support herself and send her to the best art school… How could one not say that the ordinary's attitudes toward life were not admirable?
The two returned to Alice's house, and Sean caught a whiff of the familiar scent of herbal medicine, feeling a bit queasy.
She noticed his expression and knew he did not want to drink the medicine. "Starting tonight, you have to properly take these. It's not enough to just eat some nourishing food. Your body needs a lot of nutrients and medicine to nourish and heal. Even though the winter here is barely cold, it's still a challenge for you," she explained to Sean while busy at the stove.
She hunched and busied herself, and Abigail immediately thought of Analise's figure. Suddenly, she felt a longing for her grandmother. She wanted to call Analise but was afraid Sean's situation would be discovered, affecting Analise's health.
"Alice, let me help you." She approached her and rolled up her sleeves.
"Do you know how to gut a fish?" Alice asked her.
Abigail felt a bit embarrassed as she was not skilled at it.
"I do," Sean immediately spoke up.
Alice raised her chin and directed his gaze to the fish hanging on the side with a straw rope. "Go to the river and gut it. Do you know which organs to keep?"
He scratched his head while Abigail took out her phone and started searching.
"The fish bladder and intestines can be kept. Discard the rest. Make sure to clean the fish intestines." Alice did not put on airs and directly told them.
As such, he took the knife and prepared to gut the fish.
"You go with him. Keep an eye on him so that he doesn't have any accidents and fall into the river," Alice told Abigail.
"Okay, got it!" She quickly followed her man.
The two of them left the house together. After dinner, they walked on the cobblestones. At first, it was exciting, but after about ten minutes, they found it boring. After half an hour, both of them were rather discouraged.
They walked back and forth like this, and anyone would feel annoyed after walking for more than ten minutes. Unfortunately, Sir Colleen was watching them...
After 30 minutes of walking, both of them were exhausted. Abigail soon realized that though everything sounded simple, doing it was extremely agonizing. She could sit and draw design sketches for ten hours straight without feeling the agony she experienced when trying to walk, which she found extremely uncomfortable.
Her feet were also in pain, and by the end, they would go numb…
After taking a ten-minute break, she started learning yoga.
