Chapter 1045
“Sienna, do you still recognize me? It’s Mira, your idol p>
But Sienna only had eyes for the bread. It was as if she couldn’t even hear a word Mira was saying.
“Sienna, do you remember Celine Ward p>
Mira tried communicating with her again, but she still got no reaction. Sienna’s eyes remained glued to the food.
Left with no other option, Mira reached out to hand her the bread.
But before she could even extend her arm fully, Sienna snatched it away and aggressively shoved it into her mouth.
A split second later—*smack*—the bread was ripped out of her hands by another
woman.
The older woman grabbed the bread and desperately stuffed it into her own mouth, while Sienna scrambled to snatch it back. “My bread! My bread! That’s my bread p>
Helpless, Mira told Natalie to bring in a few more pieces so they could hand one to each person.
Natalie stepped out, and Mira turned back to Daisy. “Logically, they’re out of that hellhole now and have enough to eat. Why are they still fighting over food p>
“Habit. It’s the survival instinct they developed in there.
Every time there’s food, no matter how much you bring, they will fight for it. Even if they’re completely full and can’t take another bite, they’ll still fight for it p>
“If they’re already full, how can they even force it down p>
Mira asked, genuinely baffled.
“Whatever they can’t finish, they hide p>
Daisy pointed at the older woman chewing frantically on the bread. “I heard she’s actually that girl’s mother p>
Sienna’s mother?
Mira was stunned. “She loves her daughter so much. Why would she steal her food p>
Mrs. Stanford was a high-society lady who had willingly ventured into this literal hellscape alone just to find her daughter.
Prompted by Daisy’s words, Mira examined the woman more closely. “Was she sent to the brothels too? Does she not even recognize her own daughter anymore p>
“No, starvation isn’t just used in the brothels. A lot of the labor camps use the exact same punishment.
Her mind is completely broken now. It’s perfectly normal that she doesn’t recognize her daughter p>
This time, Natalie returned with eight pieces of bread. Before she could even distribute them, the women descended into a feeding frenzy.
Fortunately, Sienna managed to grab a piece. Not only did she grab one, but she forcefully ripped→→ another piece night out of her mother’s Hands. Give it here! That’s for stealing mine earlier p>
After that, Mira and Natalie quietly left the room. She had other things to take care of
that afternoon and couldn’t afford to waste too much time.
There was nothing Mira could do fix a situation like this. The only option was to wait until they
returned home and slowly undergo
intensive psychiatri
“Mira, if you guys hadn’t saved me when you did, would I have ended up like that too p>
Natalie asked as they walked down the hall, shuddering at the thought.
Before Mira could answer, she continued, “I would have. I absolutely would have. If
they all ended up like that, what makes me any different?
Mira, thank you. Thank you to everyone who came for us!
When I get back, I’m going to study hard and stop wasting my youth. I want to
actually contribute to society from now on p>
“Looks like our Natalie has finally grown up p>
Mira smiled, reaching out to gently pat her hair.
“Wesley didn’t come over this time p>
Mira asked softly, observing Natalie’s expression.
“My brother said that when everything first went down, they didn’t tell him. By the
time my brother came out here, Wesley still didn’t know.
He found out later and wanted to fly out, but my dad stopped him.
My dad told him that I had already been saved and there was no point in having too many people come out p>
It seemed Natalie’s relationship with Wesley Scott was still going strong.
Natalie added, “Honestly, I think the
real reason my dad stopped
was because he didn’t wan
to see me looking like such
complete wreck
