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.
When he turned around dejectedly with the bowl of medicine in hand, he saw Christina heading. toward him. At once, his eyes lit up as though he had seen a ray of hope.
“Mrs. Hadley, quick, talk some sense into Mr. Hadley. He keeps coughing, yet he refuses to take the medicine,” he whispered.
Having said that, he handed the bowl in his hand to her and left the study.
Christina walked over with the bowl of medicine. In a flash, the smell pervaded the air.
A frown marred Nathaniel’s countenance, and he appeared exceedingly averse to that medicinal smell. “Take it away.”
He had always loathed such an odor, finding it bitter and foul. Thus, he had rather take modern
medicine.
Christina was worried that the medicine in her hand would go cold, causing its efficacy to be reduced. significantly. Hurrying over, she coaxed gently, “You’re not feeling well, but you’ll be fine after drinking the medicine. Putting up with it isn’t good for your body.”
Nathaniel lifted his gaze arrogantly, his eyes brimming with disdain. “I’m not sick. I don’t need to drink. this… Ahem, ahem…”
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.
Christina narrowed her eyes mysteriously. “If so, I’ll pour it down the drain. Are you sure?”
