Chapter 63: Lost battle

"What have I done? How did I frustrate your efforts? If it's about the food, I really am not hungry anymore." Ellie informed him, then moved to her bed and plopped herself down.

"Would you rather die of starvation?" Enrique asked, and Ellie blinked multiple times.

"Is this you confessing that you want to poison me?" She asked back, directing her shocked, questioning gaze to him.
