Should I be seriously ill to get the same attention you lavish on Lucian and the sweet children in the chronic disease ward you mentioned, Liz?
— Gabriel
===========================
Unperturbed, Gabriel began to savor his meal, the flavors no doubt exquisite. Liz hesitated for a moment but eventually decided to join him.
After all, her hunger had grown too demanding to be ignored, and for the moment, she chose to set aside her reservations and savor the culinary delights prepared by the maids.
The two of them dined in peaceful silence, the only sounds being the occasional clinking of cutlery against plates.
Liz was so engrossed in her meal that she hardly noticed Gabriel, who occasionally cast glances in her direction from across the table.
As Liz savored her dessert, Gabriel cleared his throat and began to inquire.
"So... I'd like to ask you some things concerning the 'friend' you brought with you."
