Chapter 41 Did I Misunderstand?

• The sky has darkened this evening, obscuring the stars and the moon from view. A man emerged from the house, appearing somewhat guilty.
• "Jasmine, are you hungry? There is some bread remaining in the kitchen. Let us partake in it," said the individual, who was identified as Jimmy. He seemed deeply saddened by Jasmine's presence. Naturally, Jimmy did not dare to openly provide her with food, so he discreetly retrieved the bread and presented it to her.
• Jasmine nodded, taking the bread and consuming it eagerly. It reminded her of her childhood, when Jimmy would always bring her bread to alleviate her hunger whenever she was punished by Susan. This act made her feel loved, and it lessened the pain of kneeling.
