Chapter 118 - Not hungry (2/2)

However, Gary was a sweet man. His life was always gentle and his life was more peaceful. Lena does not know how Gary will go through the trauma, but she knows that she will be with him. Lena hoped that Gary would not be as bad as Kris.

Lena held Gary's hand and squeezed it a bit. ”We'll be stronger together.”

Lena spent the rest of the day mostly alone. She would see everyone again when they had lunch, but Kris was not there. Again, at dinner, he was also no there. They set his plate for him, but he never showed up.

”Kris is in the reading room.” Tye spoke. He noticed that Lena kept looking at the empty seat the entire time they were having dinner.

”Has he eaten yet?” Lena asked.

”I don't know. I brought him lunch but last time I checked, they were still untouched. Don't worry though, he's always like this. I mean… that he doesn't eat much anyways. Either it works or something else.”

Since Lena was lazy today, she stayed and cleaned up the table. James helped her with the dishes. She opened the fridge and see that it was fully stocked. Tye made sure the fridge was extra stocked because he was feeding a whole pack of hungry teenage boys. Lena was one of them, she ate like one.

Lena took out a piece of pork and some vegetables.

”Are you still hungry?” James asked.

”No. But I am going to make something for Kris. You can rest, I'll be fine.”

James finished washing the dishes and went first. He can go take a shower. He knows that Lena knows how to cook. Lena carefully cooked pork with vegetables, and make a stir fry for Kris. She scooped the rice onto the plate and dishes a portion of the food to the plate. She put it on a tray and went to the reading room.

She knocked on the door but there was no response. She opened it slowly with one hand, the other holding the tray. Lena noticed that Kris had was hitting a punching bag. Why is there a punching bag in the reading room? Lena walked in.

”I am not hungry.” Kris continued to punch the bag without taking his eyes off it.

Lena placed the tray on the table and sat down. ”You sure?” She opened the plate and Kris could see the juicy pork and smell the strong flavor of it. Tye brought in some fried vegetables and fish for him during lunch but he did not want to eat that.

Lena looked at the plate. She only took a bite before to taste it, but looking at it now, it looked so good. She just had dinner, but more would not hurt. She grabbed the spoon and scoop up some rice and a juicy piece of pork. She bent down to take a bit.

Kris quickly walked over and grabbed her hand. ”What are you doing?”

Lena looked at her hands that Kris grabbed. ”Eating. You said you were not hungry.”

”I am hungry now.” He guided her hand to turn the spoon toward him and ate it.
