Kapitel 158: Rival

When Leah said she was thirsty, Wendy removed the lid from the jug of water that she had brought with her earlier and handed it to her.

After the kids had drunk a mouthful each, Wendy found herself also feeling thirsty and drank a mouthful too from the jug.

Michael walked towards them, wiping the perspiration from his face with his hand.
