Ember, who once looked pale due to her illness, now had color returning to her cheeks.
Her vitality… was coming back. A quiet realization settled in Ivy's heart.
'These vegetables… are far more than just food.'
She walked past a mirror and paused. Her reflection stared back at her.
Her skin... was glowing. Clear. Smooth.
Every trace of imperfection had faded, replaced by a natural radiance that seemed to come from within.
Ivy touched her cheek lightly, feeling the warmth beneath her fingertips.
Even her lips had turned a deeper shade of red, soft and naturally vibrant, while the dark circles beneath her eyes had completely disappeared. Her reflection no longer carried even a trace of fatigue.
Ivy stared at herself for a moment, her fingers lightly brushing against her cheek.
'This… is unreal…'
A faint, almost reverent smile appeared on her lips.
"I should start worshipping these vegetables at this point," she muttered softly, half amused, half serious.
