It seemed unnecessary now.
Without saying a word, Lucinda placed a hand on Nathan’s back and patted him gently in an attempt to comfort him.
It took her several minutes to calm him down. She asked, “Are you feeling better?”
Even though he nodded at her confidently, it was obvious that he was only pretending. After all, in her eyes, he still looked weak.
“I feel much better with you around,” Nathan replied.
Lucinda raised an eyebrow. She had to admit, he was really good at acting. Ignoring what he said, she brought him to the bed and placed a pillow at the back of his head before tucking him in.

“The fiasco just took us too long. Since you haven’t taken your medicine yet, wait here while I go and get it.”
“Okay.”
It didn’t take long before she returned with a glass of warm water on one hand and a pill box on the other. She approached the bedside table and placed both down carefully before locking the door shut and sitting back on the edge of the bed.
A pout formed on Nathan’s lips as his eyes were fixed on the pill box.
“Can you feed me the medicine just like the way you did last night?”
Lucinda just looked back at him, her expression looking calm as she handed him the glass of water.
“What do you have to say about your performance tonight? Do you think that you are worth the reward?”
He lowered his eyes, looking dejected as he fell silent. Of course, he knew that he did not deserve it.
He felt like an idiot for assuming that she would feed him the medicine. He should have already counted his blessing if she didn’t beat him tonight Nathan closed his eyes and heaved out a sigh to calm himself down.
Afterwards, he silently took the cup from Lucinda. He shot her a challenging look and immediately popped a dozen pills into his mouth which immediately made him choke in the process.
Watching him start to cough violently, Lucinda immediately patted him on the back to help him breathe.
“You idiot! Just take two to three pills at a time so you won’t choke on it! How can you even stand the bitterness of the pills if you put them all at once inside your mouth?”
She then grabbed her bag and took out some candy which she bought specifically for him today.
After tearing the pack open, she pulled one out and placed the rest on the bedside table.
While stuffing the candy into his mouth, she mumbled, “Don’t do anything to harm your body any more. If the medicine is too bitter for you, eat some candy afterwards. Lighting up a cigarette to relieve stress won’t help at all. It would just end up harming your health. Stop doing it. Do you hear me?”
“Yeah, I do.”
Nathan’s voice was slightly muffled as he started to chew on the candy that was in his mouth.
It actually tasted nice. It wasn’t too sweet and he could taste a hint of milk flavor in it.
