'No need, I'm not hungry, you can keep it for yourself."
He was curious about the girl, so he proactively said: "Last night, that noise must have scared you, right? I am the one who dares to steal things from the palace, aren't you afraid of me?"
'I'm not afraid of you, but last night was really scary, I couldn't sleep all night."
The girl curled up, close to the wall, trying to hold back her tears: "I've been locked up here for several days. Last night I heard you and that bad guy talking. I'm really afraid you'll be beaten to death."
If he was beaten to death, she would be lonely, no one could talk to her anymore.
The corners of Liam's lips curled up slightly: 'You're so young, why are you locked up here? What crime have you committed?"
'I don't know why they locked me up. A few days ago, my father and I went abroad to travel, slept in a hotel, and when we woke up we were locked here. I do not understand what they say."
Liam listened silently: 'So where is your father?"
'I don't know, since I've been locked up here, I've never seen him. A few days ago, I shouted outside the door every day but no one answered me, maybe he's not here."
Liam didn't say a word, he thought carefully for a moment.
This girl's situation sounds like transnational human trafficking.
Not hearing his reaction, the girl immediately panicked.
'Hey, are you still there? You didn't faint, did you?"
"Do not have." Liam lazily closed his eyes, his voice weakly said: "I'm very tired, I want to sleep for a while."
'No, you absolutely cannot sleep."
Near the wall, the girl frantically knocked on the wall for a long time, she tried to awaken his consciousness: "You are seriously injured, if you fall asleep, the wound loses too much blood, you may die. You will not wake up again."
Liam was teased by the prison girl next to him.
Since he was a child, he followed Shane to military training. Even if his health was that bad, he wouldn't die that easily.
But besides Shane and Bertha, this was the first stranger to care for him so much, and he felt warm inside.
"Are you sleeping? Or are you about to die?"
The sound of knocking on the wall rang out again.
"Do not have…"
The girl breathed a sigh of relief: 'If you are sleepy, I can talk to you, I can even tell you a story."
'Do you know how to tell horror stories?"
'Yeah… Isn't our current situation a horror story?"
Liam's eyelids trembled slightly, he glanced around the cell and smiled.
Yes, it's murky.
'I know how to tell jokes."
'It's cold enough in prison."
'Your joke might be colder than this place."
'…"
The more they talked, the more the two of them got along. They talked for more than half an hour.
It wasn't until the medical doctor Bruno called came to examine Liam that they ended their conversation.
Once again Bruno took Bertha back to the suburban apartment complex.
Shifting her scope of activity from the entire apartment building down to the living room.
Bertha did not complain, nor was she dissatisfied. She just asked him to give her two parenting books to kill time during these boring days.
When it comes to food, Bruno tries his best to accommodate her requests.

At noon, Bruno was called by the head Princess.
"Mom."
He stood a tea table away, standing seriously before the princess's eyes.
The head princess put down the cup of coffee in her hand, her expression was very serious: "The Bertha you brought here, is the baby in her womb yours?"
Bruno was stunned, his eyes stared at the ground, and then he answered: "Yes."
'You still want to protect her, tell me the truth."
The princess angrily threw the half-drinking cup of coffee to the ground, accidentally leaving a coffee stain on her hand.
There is a carpet under the tea table so it doesn't make any noise.
Bruno saw that, quickly walked around the tea table, squatted next to her feet, he used a wet towel to wipe her hands.
The head princess glanced at her son's filial and wise appearance, the anger in her body also dissipated a lot, and her tone also became deeper:
'Bruno, you're stupid. I have investigated, she has been engaged for a long time, last night looking at your face, I guess this baby is 80% her fiance's, is that true?"
Bruno bowed his head, but he did not respond.
The eldest princess was very upset. Any good impression she had had with Bertha before was gone.
'A lying woman like her is completely unworthy of you. What kind of amnesia spell did she use to make you determined to be with her?"
Bruno still bowed his head, his expression serious as he helped her wipe her fingers, he remained silent without saying a word.
The great princess knew in her heart that he was determined to get what he wanted, so she just sighed and said: "Either you marry another woman, or tell her to have an abortion."
'Mom, that's impossible!" Bruno was immediately excited: "If it weren't for her, I wouldn't marry any other woman in my whole life."
Mentioning the child in Bertha's womb, his eyes immediately avoided, his tone softened: "Abortion will damage her body. I want to let her have a baby. If after getting married, I really can't bear it anymore, I will send this child back to the child's father to raise."
The princess couldn't believe it: 'You want her to give birth to the baby? Do you want this humiliation to last for the rest of your life? When you see this child later, won't you feel distant? What value does a woman like her have, that you have to be so attached to her?"
These words were like needles piercing Bruno's sensitive heart that had been suppressed for many years.
He sneered, his eyes raised in wonder: 'Mom, am I not such a humiliating existence? Haven't you done the same thing before? So you are also 'her kind of woman" in what you said, right?"
"You... Impolite."
