When Christina arrived back at Scenic Garden Manor she was just in time to see the family doctor driving away.

She quickened her pace and strode upstairs. At once, she scented the bitter smell of traditional medicine wafting out from the study.

At that moment, Sebastian was holding a bowl of traditional medicine and urging carnestly. “Mr. Hadley, the doctor has said that it’s best to consume the medicine while it’s hot.”

Coughing softly, Nathaniel inexorably frowned as he eyed the bowl of inky-black medicine. “Take it away.”

“Mr. Hadley…”

Sebastian wanted to persuade the man further, but a frosty glare had him tactfully swallow all the words on the tip of his tongue.

“Mrs. Hadley, quick, talk some sense into Mr. Hadley. He keeps coughing, yet he refuses to take the medicine,” he whispered.

Biting her lower lip, Christina glowered at the man’s stony face. Hah! It’s clear as day that he’s under the weather, but he’s as stubborn as a mule!

Like a crafty squirrel, she leaned close to him with wide eyes and asked, “You’re really not drinking it?”

“No,” Nathaniel answered resolutely.
