Atlas and I exchanged a glance, both of us chiming in unison, "Enough." Seeing the synchrony between us, Arnold pointed atangrily. "You're just heartless." I laughed and collapsed into Atlas's embrace. At that moment, I felt incredibly happy. It was no wonder I couldn't control the urge to vomit when I smelled blood at Navi's base.
Just thinking about it made my stomach churn, and it felt like that bloody odor was assaultingagain.

Atlas immediately tensed up, swiftly jumping out of bed to carryto the bathroom, where I retched.
He gently patted my back as he watchedwith concern. There was hardly anything left to throw up. My stomach was already empty.
With tears and snot streaming down my face, I collapsed exhausted in Atlas's arms, gasping for air. It wasn't until fresh air flooded my lungs that I felt better.
He gently placedback on the bed while Arnold hovered nearby, incessantly asking, "How did this happen, Atlas? Look how pale she is. Is being pregnant this tough? I..." "Shut up," Atlas snapped, silencing Arnold immediately.
I caught my breath and said to Atlas, "What about my food? I'm hungry." That was when Arnold remembered he was still holding a thermos.

As soon as I heard it was porridge from Green Cottage, I pointed at it and told Atlas, "I want the soup." Atlas glanced at Arnold and ordered, "Bring it here." Arnold happily handed it over, muttering, "I knew you'd like it, so I calculated the tand rushed to bring it over. I'm quite..." "Why are you so chatty?" I teased Arnold. "Hana might avoid you altogether with that mouth of yours. If you want to talk, tell us about Denton's situation. Maybe I'lbe more interested in that."

Atlas quickly rubbed my back. "Let's not talk about it. Just eat your food." I stopped laughing and looked at him, asking, "Aren't you eating?" "I already ate. Just focus on eating, okay?" "You said talk too much, but if no one responds to me, should I just not talk at all? You two older ones rushed off withoutand now you're lecturing me?" Arnoldwas not done yet.

"How could I ever get tired of you? Tell me, how's Denton doing?" I gulped down the soup, which was savory and delicious. Atlas then brought over the dishes he had prepared for me.
I ate heartily, wolfing down the food. I was really hungry, and I wanted to see my dad as soon as possible.
