She looked at Shane, smiling very gently. 'This little thing is nothing to be angry about. Shane, do you think so?"
Shane nodded honestly.
Bertha withdrew her gaze, she looked towards the cigarettes on the coffee table. 'But later, don't keep cigarettes, it's not a good thing. Liam, all the cigarettes in the drawer, sell them to someone cheap."
"Cheap?"
Liam's eyes widened, they were all imported high-quality cigarettes, very expensive.
This is his blood, his heart, if he sells at a low price, it will be a loss. His heart is bleeding.
Shane glanced at him. 'You listen to Bertha, tonight, you bring all these cigarettes, I don't want to see these anymore."
Liam's face looked miserable.
'Yes, sir."
Liam was handling cigarettes in the living room when Bertha stood up and took Shane's hand. 'Come on, let's go upstairs."
It was a very calm tone, but Shane's heart was still pounding.
It took a lot of explaining but... did he still have to go back to his room and get beaten?
His mood was complicated, so he let Bertha drag him back to the master bedroom.
"Sit."
Shane obediently sat down, his heart was extremely nervous.
He wasn't sure if Bertha was angry after all right now, but he knew that he hated being beaten.
If he hadn't been afraid of Bertha's anger, he would have wanted to throw the ruler in the drawer and the washboard in the closet into the river a long time ago.
While Shane was thinking, he saw Bertha walking to the nightstand. She placed her hand on the first drawer on the chest of drawers, preparing to open it.
He knew very well what was in there.
Without waiting for Bertha to completely open the drawer, he squeezed his heart, frowned harshly, and spoke weakly. 'Bertha, I'm... upset...."
Bertha ran over almost immediately to check on him. 'Is your heart upset? Do you have chest pain again? Why is this happening? After taking the medicine for a week, your disease will not easily recur."
His breathing was weak, his eyelashes drooped, his handsome face was white and pale, his whole body was weak, he lost all his strength and leaned on her arms.
Bertha was very worried. 'You can't stand it like this. I'll go get specially prepared medicine to control your recurring angina."
"Do not need."
She was about to stand up when someone grabbed her wrist.
He was very gentle, without the slightest feeling of weakness or trembling from pain before.
As if realizing that he had overreacted, Shane weakly let go, he put his head in her arms and spoke softly. 'I mean, having you hold me like this, I feel much better…"
Bertha stopped talking.
She bowed her head, retracted her cold eyes, she silently stared at Shane's head, she understood in her heart.
Today, not only did he deceive her and hide it from her, but now he is also acting.
Originally, she ignored him. She took the swelling-reducing ointment from the drawer and rubbed his knee with her own hands.
She calmly patted his back, carefully soothing him.
After a few minutes of coaxing, she spoke. 'Are you still upset?"
The weakness on Shane's face did not decrease, but he deliberately appeared strong and nodded.
'I'm okay with you here."
Bertha secretly admired his pitiful pretense and helped him lie down on the bed. She helped him put a pillow under his head and covered him with a blanket.
'You're half an hour late. You haven't taken your medicine yet at night. Wait for me a moment, I will go get some medicine for you."
"Okay."
In less than two minutes, Bertha placed the warm water and medicine box on the bedside table. First, she closed the door, locked it, and then sat down on the bed.
Shane looked at the medicine with pain in his eyes. 'Tonight, can you feed me medicine?"
Bertha's expression was calm, she gave him the glass of water and asked. 'What do you think your performance was like tonight? Do you deserve a reward?"
He immediately lowered his eyes sadly, he knew that he was wrong.
If tonight, he was lucky enough not to be beaten, he would have thanked Bertha, he would not have dared to ask Bertha for a reward.
After recovering the unwilling look in his eyes, he took the glass of water that Bertha gave him, in a huff, he put a dozen pills in his mouth and drank it at once, but because he drank water so fast that he choked, he coughed.
Bertha quickly helped him rub his back, scolding him in a low voice. 'Idiot, you should drink slowly. If you drink all the medicine at once, don't you feel a bitter taste in your mouth?"
She took out a packet of toffee from her pocket that she had specially bought for him that day.
After tearing open the packet of scissors, she took out one pill and placed the rest on the nightstand next to the bed.
White fingers gently opened the candy paper and stuffed it into Shane's mouth. 'In the future, you must not harm your body like this anymore. If you feel the medicine is bitter, just eat a piece of candy. If you want to use cigarettes to get relief, it's impractical and will hurt your body. You can't think like that anymore, okay?"
"I know."
Shane held toffee in his mouth, his voice a bit unclear.
He carefully enjoyed the taste of sugar, it was very sweet, had the aroma of milk, and it made him feel sweet.
In particular, this candy was personally bought by Bertha, she put it in his mouth, and his whole heart was feeling sweet.
While eating the candy, he opened his arms towards Bertha, wanting to be hugged by her.
