'I have brought food for you, mom.' Cynthia showed Adelia the animal flesh that she wrapped in a banana leaf.
A warm sensation embraced Adelia's heart. She knew that Cynthia was prohibited from visiting her yet she always found her way to come here. 'Didn't I tell you not to come? What if your father finds out? He'll punish you for sure!' she exclaimed in her mind.
Cynthia smiled innocently at her. 'Don't worry, mom. I will not get caught. Trust me.' She winked her eyes on her to ease her mother's worry.
Adelia sighed in defeat at her daughter's affirmation. She was just as hard-headed as she was before.
Cynthia handed the food in a wrap carefully so as not to touch the bars.
Adelia's eyes feasted after she opened the leaf. Since when did she last eat a flesh of an animal? She couldn't remember it. For the years she had been living here, she was barely eating. There are days that she wouldn't eat because the alpha said so.
So, when Cynthia learned about her situation, she didn't hesitate to come here secretly every night to send her mother some food.
