Like a helpless child, Blair stared at the bowl apprehensively and pouted her Lips. Unfortunately, she would have to drink the medicinal

Liquid even though she didn't want to.

She reluctantly dragged herself in and out of the bathroom to wash her hands before she picked up the bowl and blew on it to cool it down a bit.

Wesley went back to the kitchen to clean up and hopefully get rid of the smell, but when he came back to the study, he found Blair reading a book next to the bowl which was still full.

He shook his head as he picked up the bowl, stood in front of her and snatched her book away.

"Drink it now. The colder it gets, the bitterer it will taste."

“Really?” Blair couldn't believe her ears. She was waiting for it to cool down so she could chug the whole thing in one go.

“Of course! I would never lie to you," said Wesley with an air of urgency. Fortunately, the liquid was not that cold yet.

Blair picked up the bowl with two hands and took a sip. Her face contorted almost as soon as her taste buds registered the bitterness.

It was the first time she had taken Chinese medicines and she prayed for it to be the last.

“Water...I want water..."

Wesley, however, didn't move.

“If you drink a mouthful of water after every sip, you won't be able to finish this bowl. Just drink it already. I'll go get some snacks for you." He turned around and left the study.

Blair sighed helplessly and watched him leave. She now realized how important it was to be in good health-at least then she wouldn't have to deal with this torture.

When Wesley came back, Blair was still staring at the bowl. He showed her a bag of plum candies and said, “You can only have these after you finish that bowl."

Wesley knew Blair wouldn't Like drinking the Chinese medicines, and he was thoughtful enough to buy her some plum candies at the supermarket.

Having no choice, Blair took a deep breath, raised the bowl to her lips and drank as much as she could.

After what felt Like an eternity, she only managed to drink two-thirds of it.

“Wesley, can you use Less water next time when you decoct the medicines?" she complained.

Wesley tried his best to hold back his laughter.

“To tell you the truth, I ladled less Liquid this time. Tomorrow, you'll need to drink one third more than this."he explained.

“What?" Blair was shocked at his words.

She ate a plum candy to ease the bitterness in her mouth.

After that, she drank the remaining Liquid in the bowl.

"Great!" Wesley praised her and planted a kiss on her lips.
