The Heart of the Bionic Man

6

I ate very little for lunch and dinner because I had no appetite. My taste was unaffected by the fever. It was just because the food wasn't particularly tasty.

I was a picky eater.

The snacks that Brian had bought were tasty, but eating too many biscuits made my throat dry. I didn't know if it was my illusion and I felt much better at night.

My intuition told me that something was wrong.

Brian told me I had a fever, but I hadn't taken my temperature to confirm it. A high fever would cause dizziness and weakness, but these symptoms might not be caused by a fever.

If my guess was right, the issue was... Food?

I lay on the bed before falling asleep and began to think.

It was said that in ancient times, people would accuse a child who lost his parents of being a jinx to blame for his parents' death.
