After a while, several dishes were served on the table.
The girl went to the kitchen to wash her hands and salivated as she looked at the chicken thighs in front of her. “Are these… for me?”
Severin smiled and said, “Of course! You’re hungry, right? Hurry up and eat! They’re all for you!”
The little girl immediately started to wolf the food down. While eating, she took out a small plastic bag and placed a chicken thigh in it.
Severin was somewhat stunned when he saw that. “Why are you putting that into a plastic bag? If you want to keep them for later, I’ll give you some extra money so you come back and buy more.”
The little girl smiled and said, “My big brother hasn’t eaten yet, so I wanted to bring some back for him…”
Severin felt heart-wrenched as he asked, “Where are your parents?”
The girl said, “My parents died when I was still a small girl. It’s just me and my brother now. We rely on each other because our life depends on it. My brother isn’t feeling well today, so he can’t come out and beg for food. I want to bring back some food for him.”
Severin could only smile helplessly when he heard that. He said to the restaurant owner, “Ma’am, could you prepare some food to go, please?”
“Of course, sir! That’s very kind of you!” The owner went off to prepare the food.
After a while, Severin walked out of the restaurant with the girl, who was carrying all the takeout.
“Can you tell me your name?” Severin asked the girl with a smile.
“My name is Gilly, and my brother’s name is Gerald!” the girl said with a smile.
She soon led Severin to a bridge. There, a young man who was in his late teens was lying down under the shelter of the bridge.
The other party was still coughing non-stop. When he saw that Gilly had come back, he stopped coughing immediately, as if he was afraid that his sister might notice his worsening condition.
“Gerald! Gerald! I brought you some food! This kind man here bought lots of delicious food for us.” Gilly immediately ran over with the food.
“T-t-thank you!” Gerald was clearly in bad shape. He looked weak when he spoke, and his face was a little pale too.
Severin looked at him and asked, “You’re not sick, are you? It looks as if you got yourself beaten up.” Gerald glanced at Gilly before nodding. “Yeah. I was beaten up by a few guys when I went to beg for food yesterday. I didn’t tell Gilly the truth, so I just lied to her and said that I’m sick.” novelbin
“We have to do something, then! You need to see a doctor!” Gilly was shocked by the revelation. She placed everything aside and immediately said to Gerald who was lying on a piece of cardboard.
Gerald smiled wryly. “Don’t be silly, Gilly. Where are we going to get the money to see a doctor? Don’t worry. I’ll be fine in a couple of days.”
