Chapter: 1174

"Well, this definitely could be eaten. Here you go."

"And what about you?" Victor turned to look down at the meat Shelia was holding out in her hand and didn't make a move to take it.

"I'LL roast some more for myself later." Seeing that Victor wasn't going to take the meat, Shelia smiled as if she had just realized something.

"Don't worry about it. This meat isn't poisonous. You can rest assured and eat it with ease."

Victor was on high alert right then, watching Shelia with vigilant and cold eyes.

Even though Shelia happened to be an easy-going person, this didn't mean that she was reckless. She had thought that Victor had gotten lost. But after she saw his injuries, she knew she was wrong and he was on guard against her.

“I'm not very hungry. You go ahead and eat." Victor turned to look away and placed the meat aside.

“I'll roast the rest for you."

Seeing that he wanted to help, Shelia nodded and said, "Okay, it's perfectly fine if you don't eat."

She took a bite out of the meat. After chewing for some time, she furrowed her brows and stuck out her tongue.

"It's really hard to chew. It was not cooked fully yet. The meat I gave you just now must be the same. Why didn't you tell me? You even finished it."

Seeing that Shelia spit the meat out, Victor didn't say a word and only continued to roast the meat.

Putting her meat aside, Shelia turned around and spotted Victor's smiling face.

“Why are you smiling? Van, you did this deliberately, didn't you?"

‘What? Am I smiling?' Victor never even realized that he was smiling.

He lifted his hand and gently touched the corner of his lips.

“ALlow me to roast the meat for you. You have gone a long way. Go and get some rest."

"I'm not tired at all. I'lL just sit right here." With her hands propped under her chin, Shelia proceeded to sit down next to Victor.

Seeing Victor roasting the meat so skillfully, she blinked her eyes and said, “Van, you're good at cooking meat, aren't you? Did you learn this skill all by yourself?"

"Yes. I learned how to survive in the wilderness. Victor spoke in a deep voice.

"Survive in the wildness?" This was the very first time that Shelia had ever heard of such a thing.

“Why did you go out of your way to learn that?"

Imitating what Shelia did earlier, Victor also crushed some fruits and poured the juice over the meat. Also, he used a knife to slice the meat. When he heard what Shelia asked, his eyes darkened visibly.

After a while, he said, "I have no idea."

In fact, Victor knew the reason why.
