The test continued.
Enduring the burning sensation in his chest, Nathan trembled as he picked up the glass on the right and proposed a toast to Hilliard.
“Thanks for taking care of me wholeheartedly and curing my eyes!”
This time, he examined the liquor in the glass, hesitating before taking a sip.
The previous glass had been spicy. What taste awaited him in this one?
Noticing his hesitation, Hilliard smirked at him.
Among the three brothers, only Cyrus had so far fully accepted Nathan.
He quietly reminded him, “It might taste weird, but it’s good for your health.”
After all, Nathan was about to marry their sister. They couldn’t really harm him. The three glasses of liquor were actually meant for health benefits, with a touch of “spice” added.
With this in mind, Nathan drank it up again.
It tasted bitter! Extremely bitter!

It tasted a hundred times more bitter than the medicine Hilliard had given him previously.
Not only was it bitter, but it also had a puckering quality.
Immediately he swallowed it, his stomach clenched, and the urge to vomit surged within him.
To keep Lucinda from feeling troubled, Nathan swallowed the bitter liquor. His face turned pale, and his jaw clenched tight.
Lucinda’s heart skipped a beat.
“Forget it. Don’t drink anymore.”
However, this time Cyrus stepped in.
“No chance. There’s only one glass left. If he doesn’t finish it, all the suffering from the first two glasses would be in vain.”
Lucinda locked eyes with him and quietly released her grip on Nathan’s arm.
After some time, Nathan grabbed the final glass and grinned at Cyrus.
“Cyrus, you took care of me, but sorry I had to hit you that time.
As a token of apology, I’ll down this glass!”
Cyrus nodded, wearing a smile that screamed, “I’m the bigger person here, no hard feelings, buddy.”
