Chapter 1896 When Hunger Takes Over

• Juliette recalled, “I was probably... around eight or nine years old...”
• Caxton asked, “You started cooking and buying groceries at the age of eight or nine?”
• “Indeed.” Juliette chuckled softly. “Children from poor families have to grow up quickly. To survive, the adaptability of humans is quite remarkable. In a situation where someone was deeply cherished, even a woman in her forties could be a pampered princess, unable to fend for herself in life. In a situation where no one is in charge, people are able to wash clothes, cook, and clean the room from a very young age. Furthermore, whenever they see discarded water bottles or cardboard boxes by the roadside, they can't resist picking them up to take home and save, intending to exchange them for money later.”
