Gara and Madha attention shifted at the sound coming from outside the house.
It was Wina. She had returned from the field. Her eyes widened slightly upon seeing Madha.
Quickly, Gara stepped in with an explanation. He said that the white squirrel had been found injured not far from the house, and that Madha had just happened to help bring it in.
Yes… he lied again.
Fortunately, Madha didn't say a word. He just nodded along with Gara's story.
Wina stood beside the small creature and gently examined it.
"She's pregnant," she murmured, lightly pressing the squirrel's slightly swollen belly.
Curious, Gara walked closer to see for himself. Sure enough, the squirrel's belly was slightly bigger than normal. At first, he thought she was just fat or had recently eaten.
