Rohan soon came back with the milk after he introduced himself to the two men he had anonymously assigned to work there and feed the animals, as well as to make a bigger barn in the yard of the cottage. He compelled them both and took blood from one of them to mix with the milk. By the time he returned to the room, Roseline's hoarse cries filled every corner of it, and Belle, who looked worried, was rocking her in her arms.
They finally managed to make the baby take the milk, which she drank hungrily to the last drop. When Rohan withdrew the cup from the infant's mouth, Belle acted almost naturally, lifting Roseline to her shoulder and patting her back to burp her. It was something she shouldn't have known how to do without her memories, she shouldn't know anything about caring for a baby, but the action came to her instinctively, like a reflex buried deep inside her bones.
