Chapter 43 Do You Want To Die?

• Taking short steps, because her ankle still hurts, her nanny takes her to the armchair and with the help of a small table, she places a bowl full of fruit pieces on her forehead.
• "I can do it myself, Mercedes," Adelaide says, taking the fork from the old woman's hands. "You don't need to feed me. I will do it myself."
