A Second Life, A New Power novel Chapter 99

"Mrs. Yale, there is still a lot of food, so please have more. Otherwise, we won't be able to finish them," Thomas tried to persuade Wendy because he knew what was on Ana's mind.

Meanwhile, Ana was speechless, thinking those people didn't respect her at all. After all, she remembered how much of Demi's food Wendy had eaten the night before.

Ana did her best to prepare a lot of delicious food for her team, so she figured they could've at least tried to finish most of it to respect her.

Wendy wasn't trying to humiliate Ana on purpose. Instead, Wendy had always led a healthy life, and she wouldn't eat raw food most of the time. She would prefer a nice bowl of hot soup to food like that.

At that moment, Wendy was worried she would also have a stomachache from suddenly eating too much raw food. So, she only planned on eating a little to avoid being hungry before trying to make a fire.

"Well, let's eat then," Ana said as she tried to get everyone to eat again.

However, to her surprise, Sally put down her utensils too. "I'm going to have to stop as well." Sally always had a small appetite. At first, she found the raw seafood delicious. But after a few more bites, her stomach started to churn.

With that, Ana couldn't maintain the smile on her face anymore.

"If I had known it would come to this, I would've asked Demi to teach me how to make a fire previously," Nigel lamented. Upon hearing that, Ana's expression fell completely, and she lowered her gaze while shoving her mouth with food.

Thomas worriedly looked at her and said, "Ana, maybe we should keep some of the ingredients aside. Once we have a fire, we can cook them right away."

He wanted to comfort his sister, but when she heard him mention a fire, she immediately thought of Demi. So, she started raging. "Are you regretting not joining Demi's team now? After all, she knows how to make a fire!"

Hearing that, Thomas was stunned speechless, wondering what was going on. He didn't understand how his words would even let Ana think of Demi at all.

Wendy glanced at Ana and instantly knew the latter was upset because of how everyone else put down their utensils that quickly. However, Ana didn't dare to get mad at them, so she had no choice but to vent to Thomas instead.

After she was done letting off steam, she immediately realized that she had stepped out of line. After all, there were cameras pointing at them.

"I'm sorry, Thomas. I got a little upset when I heard you talking about a fire. It seems like Demi's the only one who knows how to start a fire among us. If only I'm as capable as her…" Ana explained with a stiff smile.
