From that day on, Linda started bringing fishballs for Chloe every morning. For Chloe, it wasn't really about whether they tasted good or not. In fact, she wasn't even particularly fond of fish. She just wanted Linda to feel comfortable accepting her help without any guilt. But, ironically, it turned into a huge burden for Chloe.
