She Became Rich After Divorce by Georgina Lane

Chapter 71: Nobody Likes to Suffer

Cheyenne handed Iker a cup of warm water and his medicine.

“Okay, take your medicine quickly. Once you’re done, I need to go back!” The black capsule pill looked extremely bitter and had an even more unpleasant smell.
