This was the first time Maya did not have an appetite for food even after looking at the food on the table.

She drank several mouthfuls of milk before declaring that she was full.

Then, she ran to Nicole and waited for her mother to wake again.

Meanwhile, John took ages to console Nina.

She had been sure of one thing—her biased father did not like her; he only liked Maya.
