"You have a cold, so you can't eat meat. Your recovery will be slow if you do," Ernest reminded Leah.
"I just want to eat meat." Leah muttered.
Ernest shook his head and laughed at Leah.
Leah gazed at Ernest with a yearning look in her eyes, and they flicked over to her lips. She looked into his eyes, and she was determined to have Ernest.
She was sure that she was going to devour him one of these days.
She would not hold back.
Then, Ernest went to get the knife and the chopping board.
Leah was very surprised when she saw Ernest cut the raw meat into delicate cubes before feeding it to the turtles. "How did you know turtles could eat raw meat?"
"Turtles are omnivores. You can feed them cooked eggs, nuts and shrimp."
"I gave them crayfish and dam shrimp to eat. I can't even afford to eat dam shrimp, but I feed it to them," Leah sighed sadly.
"What do you mean you can't afford it?" Ernest felt rather distressed. Why did she say that?
