My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

However, she was of age, and she had been living a comfortable life for many years. She was bound to suffer from backaches having stayed in the courtyard, bent over like this for a long time. I saw her clutching her waist as she limped towards the bamboo chair in the courtyard. Her knitted brows are an indication of how much pain she was in.

I cleaned up the remaining weeds in the yard and washed my hands. Then, I gave her some medication that could relieve the pain.

She frowned, refusing to accept it.

I pursed my lips. "It's not poison. It's a painkiller."

After that, I put the medication in her hand, entered the house, poured her glass of warm water, and handed it to her.

She was dumbfounded. The pain had probably become unbearable as she instantly took the glass of water over and swallowed the medication.

I put the rest of the medication aside and said softly, "The medication doesn't cause many side effects. If the pain is unbearable, you can take one or two to relieve the pain."

She looked at me with pursed lips. Her eyes fell on the yard, and she said, "You sound nasally. If you've got a cold, don't come here and spread it to me.
