Chapter 399: I'll sleep well tonight

[Skyline Plaza: Zoren]

"Tada~!" Penny spread her arms excitedly while Zoren, seated on the couch, gazed at the coffee table. "Welcome to your new set of medicines!"

Zoren's eyes scanned the table full of bottles. "That looks like ten times more than what I'm currently taking," he pointed out, looking up at Penny's beaming face. "But sure."

Though the thought of overdosing crossed his mind, Zoren didn't care. Even if it were literal poison, he would take it if she gave it to him.

"These aren't just medicines, alright?" Penny placed a hand on her hip. "They're vitamins."

"Vitamins?"

"Yes." She nodded. "Your problem isn't your body-well, that comes second."

"Okay."

Penny squinted at Zoren, wondering why he wasn't asking more questions, like any normal person would when suddenly handed loads of pills.

"Which one should I take first?" he asked, curious.

"Renren, aren't you going to ask me what each bottle is for?"

"I've been taking medicine all my life," he explained flatly. "I just take it and see what works."

Penny opened her mouth to respond, then closed it again.

"If I take the medicines given to me by people I barely trust, I will definitely take anything you give me," he added with a reassuring smile. "So, which one should I take tonight?"

"Well..." she massaged her nape and cleared her throat before squatting down to organize the bottles. "This batch is for the morning, these are for lunch, and these are for the evening."
