Chương 125: Chapter 125: Persuade Avery

After a while, they send for Anthony Peters in the hopes that he can persuade Avery. This is the first time that anyone in the household has taken Avery's threats seriously. Anthony rushes to her room and tries every possible method to persuade her to eat.

"All the people are waiting for you," he says, trying to make her feel guilty, "The food is getting colder by the minute, and they're all hungry."

"I have said that I don't want to eat," Avery says, "Why do I have to have dinner if I don't want to?"

"Please eat something. You haven't eaten anything all day," Anthony continues, knocking on the door as he speaks, "What if your refusal to eat makes you ill? Avery, please eat something."

"I haven't lived at home for several years," she said dryly, "And you all managed to enjoy your dinner just fine without me."

"Avery, don't put me in such a difficult situation," Anthony complains, "If you get ill, I don't know how I'll explain it to Mr. Howel."
