After consuming the fruit, Victor coughed.

The girl stood up and handed him the water.

"I simply collected some water from the river.Filtration has been done with small stones.It’s clean.Drink it."

Victor stopped momentarily as he inspected the water as if suspecting it was poisoned.

The girl didn’t seem to grasp Victor’s thinking.She persuaded Victor to drink the water.

"Quick.There is no need to be worried.For the past few days, I’ve been drinking the water.My bowel movements are normal."

"Thanks,"

Victor mumbled as he took the water.

"We’re in the same boat.We both got lost in the forest.Humans have a built-in tendency to give a hand to each other."

She nonchalantly waved her hand.

The sun was blazing.

"Then again, we can’t stay here for long.There has to be a way out."

Rather than drinking it, Victor quietly set the water down.

He was extremely thirsty, and he had been injured.

However, he was skeptical of the person in front of him despite the fact that his body needed water very badly at that moment.

"Hey! What’s your name?"

The girl shifted her attention to Victor.

For a fleeting moment, she caught a glimpse of the water jug.She could tell he hadn’t drunk the water.

Pretending not to see it, she shifted her attention elsewhere.

"Vic."

"Van?" she asked since she didn’t heart it clearly"

Observing her, Victor paused before nodding in agreement.

"What about you, then? What is your name?"

"My name? Shelia Davis."

Shelia’s two deep dimples were clearly visible as she smiled.
