Due to the incident of the dead rabbit, Vera and Minerva's psychological state had been affected. After the management personnel left, they took out a mop to wipe where the parcel was placed. After mopping four or five times, they still felt uncomfortable.
"Why do I feel that it's still reeking of the smell of blood in this room..."
Upon hearing this, Minerva frowned. She got up and went to open the windows. The night breeze blew into the room, dispelling the bloody smell left by the dead rabbit.
However, Vera still felt that this was not enough. She thought for a while and took out her perfume from her bag and sprayed it in every corner of the room.
Seeing that Vera had calmed down, Minerva said, "Go take a bath. Then, let's pack up and head out for a meal."
Vera was shocked, "At this hour? It's already late. Wouldn't it be a little dangerous?"
She still had a lingering fear.
Minerva considered for a moment and also felt that it was a little risky to go out. Hence, she said, "Forget it. Let's just cook something simple."
Therefore, the two went back to their respective rooms to wash up. After that, they went downstairs to cook something simple.
Beanie was ordered back to his room before he could even see what was in the parcel, thus he had no idea.
At that moment, he was hungry and ate the food cooked by Minerva happily.
However, among the three people at the dining table, he was the only one who had a good appetite.
Meanwhile, Minerva and Vera were sitting across from each other. They didn't even pick up their cutlery.
They just... couldn't bring themselves to eat.
After witnessing such a bloody scene, they really had no appetite at all.
Vera glanced at Minerva and blinked her eyes. "Are you not going to eat?"
Minerva looked up and stared at her.
"What about you?"
Vera smiled. "I don't have the appetite."
Minerva also smiled and didn't reply.
Beanie, who was beside them, raised his head from the food and stared at them curiously. "Mommy, Auntie Vera, what's wrong?"
Minerva touched the back of Beanie's head and gently stroked it. "Beanie, hurry up and eat. Then, you may watch TV for a while before taking a bath. You should go to sleep after that."
"But Mommy, aren't you two hungry?"
Minerva smiled and answered softly, "I'm not hungry now. You can eat first. We'll eat later when we are hungry."
"Okay." Beanie nodded and continued to eat.
This time, he ate quickly and then set down his fork. "Mommy, I'm full. I don't feel like watching TV this evening. I want to use your laptop, is that okay?"
"Of course, go ahead. Remember not to sleep too late."
"Good night, Mommy. Good night, Auntie Vera."
He climbed the stairs with his short legs under the two adult's watch and entered the room. Then, they looked away. Vera sighed, looked at the food in front of her and touched her stomach.
Growl...
"I'm so hungry but I can't bring myself to take a bite. What should I do?"
Minerva's stomach also started to rumble. Having not eaten for an entire day, she was indeed a little hungry.
