Liam turned around to give the nurse a pleading look. “Please let me off.”

“I’m not leaving until you take your medication.” The nurse didn’t relent.

Frustration bubbled within him. He wasn’t deliberately making the nurse’s life harder. Taking medication was just pure torture for him.

Anthony, who was watching from the sidelines, contemplated for a moment before taking the medicine from the nurse. “Give it to me.”

“What…” She was taken aback.

“Trust me,” he assured.

Liam didn’t know what tricks Anthony had up his sleeves when he took the medicine and approached Liam. “Old Mr. Hamilton, the medicine, however bitter, is good for you. I’ll give you candy if you finish your medication. It wouldn’t taste so bitter this way.”

Oh, what a silver tongue at his age.

Liam gave him a wary look. “Really?”

“Absolutely.” Anthony nodded.

Liam couldn’t possibly be persuaded to take his medicine by a child. It would be embarrassing if anyone found out.

He took the medicine from Anthony and tipped it into his mouth before quickly washing it down with water after a moment’s deliberation.

He looked exactly like Benjamin, who was wincing and hiding in a corner.

They both had a hard time taking medicine.

While Liam was grimacing at the medicine’s bitterness, Anthony produced a piece of candy and slipped it into his mouth.

Indeed, it wasn’t so bitter after eating the candy, and the lines on Liam’s face smoothed out.

The nurse exhaled a relieved sigh after accomplishing her task of making sure he took his medicine.
