Herne looked at the commotion in confusion. He had no idea what was going on. However, he could still sense that the Pitt siblings didn't go along well with Demi and her team.
He realized he had been careless in his decision to join the variety show. He should have done a little research on the guests' relationships before coming to the show.
Caitlin approached Ana and said with a friendly smile, "Ms. Ana, I can't finish a whole fish by myself. Let's share."
Ana pressed her lips together, her eyes began to become a little red.
"I don't want to eat it." Ana shook her head.
Meanwhile, Alex and Thomas felt both embarrassed and angry. They were angry that Demi and her team had embarrassed them right in public. On top of that, they were really hungry.
"Alex, you can have the rest of my fish." Herne gave half of his fish to Alex. "Those who have a smaller appetite could also share a bit with them."
"You can have mine." Listening to Herne, Sam gave his half of the fish to Thomas.
Both Alex and Thomas hesitated for a while but eventually took their fish. They were starving as they had been walking for the whole day. To make matters worse, it started to rain in the evening. They were cold and hungry, in need of food to replenish their energy.
The rest of the people had soup to drink instead. Wendy was not stingy with them as she added instant noodles and eggs into the soup for them to eat.
Alex took a few bites of the fish and gave the rest to Ana.
"I don't want to eat it." With red eyes, Ana turned away stubbornly.
"I feel bad for Annie…"
"Some people really have no shame!"
"Demi caught the fish by herself. She can give the fish to whoever she wants."
"She can try catching it herself if she has the skills! Why is she crying for no reason? We're not in a film studio. Who is she putting on a show for?"
"Don't be stubborn. You're going to have stomach pains later if you don't eat," Alex said with a frown.
Shortly after, he then continued to persuade her with a soft voice.
Ana hesitated for a long time before finally turning her head back and taking the fish. She was starting to have stomach pains.
When she took her first bite, a large teardrop fell onto the back of her fair hand. She felt humiliated.
After that, Thomas also gave his fish to Alex to eat. They shamelessly squeezed forward and borrowed someone's spoon and fork to eat the noodles and drink the soup.
15 minutes later, Herne and his team finally felt their body and stomach warm up again. They couldn't help but give a soothing sigh.
Just then, a staff member asked, "Everyone's full now, right?"
"Barely," Herne replied with a smile.
