Chapter 61 Contents of the Pill

Little Fish, feeling the sting of pain, turned its head with its jaws wide open, ready to strike. But when it saw Charmaine, its demeanor completely changed. With a flick of its tail, it scurried away to a corner behind Emyr, opening its mouth to pant nervously.

Emyr’s eyelid twitched at the sight. He turned his gaze to Charmaine, who stood there awkwardly. “Is this how you usually take care of my pet?”

Charmaine scratched her cheek, feigning innocence. “It was an accident! Maybe it just doesn’t like me?”

Emyr scoffed. “Doesn’t like you? That’s putting it lightly.”

Charmaine thought for a moment and revised her statement. “Alright, maybe it really hates me?”

Emyr didn’t hold back. “Judging by its reaction, I’d say it hates you with a passion.”

Emyr responded with a cold chuckle. “Heh.”
