Rachel frowned at Victor, uncertain of what he was trying to do.
Are you going to have lunch here? she asked.
Its Lunch time, isnt it? If you dont want to eat here, we can go to a restaurant, Victor said, staring into her eyes.
Clearly, there was nothing Rachel could do to refuse his offer.
After a brief pause, she replied, Lets just eat here.

Miss Bennet, Ill go see if theres anything I can do to help with the food. Having said that, she left the room.
Once more, the room fell into silence.

Rachel was stunned for a moment.

If youre bored staying in the room, we can go to the deck and watch the fireworks display in the evening, Victor replied after a brief silence.

Upon hearing that, Rachel paused. She glanced at the remaining food on her plate before continuing to eat.
As Victor stared her emotionless face, he felt distressed.
He recalled that the last time he asked her to finish her food, she argued with him. But now, she was being so obedient.

Victor was taken by surprise at first, but he quickly gathered his composure, stood up, and followed her. Nervously, he commanded Ivan,
Call the doctor. Now!
No, wait! Rachel reached out her hand to stop him.
