Shane had just woken up with a start. He wasn't conscious yet, but his mouth was muttering Bertha's name repeatedly.
Venn was a bit emotional, he loved Bertha.
'Shane, it's time to take your medicine," Venn spoke softly, he picked up the glass of water.
Shane is three years older than Venn, but he has a good relationship with Venn's sister, and Shane will later be his brother-in-law. Now that Venn called Shane's name, this was the maximum limit he could accept.
Shane struggled to sit up but found that his hands and feet were tied, and his cold face turned fierce.
'Let me go, I want to see Bertha." His tone was full of stubbornness mixed with aggression.
Venn sighed. 'I said, she's not here, can you obediently take the medicine? Don't move. The second brother tied you up very tightly, the more you struggled, the more it hurt."
Shane originally did not listen to Venn's words.
Shane's black eyes were full of anger, he was frantically rolling his nerves, his fists were clenched, the blue veins in his biceps were bulging, and his wrists and ankles were quickly showing red marks.
Venn stared at Shane's crazy actions, and he silently touched his forehead. 'Are you a crazy dog? Why do you torture others like that? If you continue to cause trouble, my patience will be exhausted. I will tell my second brother to come here to force you to take medicine, do you believe it?"
'You call Bertha, put it on speaker, I want to hear what she has to say."
Venn looked at his watch. At this time, she was still on the plane, so he couldn't call her.
'If I can't meet Bertha, even if I die, I won't take the medicine."
Shane screamed, his wrists were bleeding, and the ropes were also stained with blood.
Venn saw the blood on his wrist, he was depressed and took a deep breath.
Venn could not tie Shane up day after day, when Bertha returned, she saw Shane's injuries...
He lost, he patted his head a few times to control his anger.
'Shane. Bertha is on the plane right now, how can I call her? Furthermore, you tortured yourself and got hurt, if she knew, she would be heartbroken. Can you be a little obedient?"
'Why was Bertha on the plane? Where did she go?
'You want to know that?" Venn came up with an idea. 'As long as you don't move anymore, I'll untie the rope for you, and then I'll tell you where she went, how about that?"
The aggressive man on the hospital bed fell silent almost instantly, the intense undulations on his chest clearly showing his crazy actions just now.
Venn breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, only things related to Bertha could control him.
'Don't move, absolutely don't move. I'll untie the rope for you. If you continue to cause trouble, or you want to fight with me, you will never know where Bertha is."
With this threat, Shane is indeed more obedient.
When silent, his empty black eyes lowered slightly, hidden under long, curved eyelashes, his handsome face was pale and sickly.
Venn undid the rope for him, then he went to get rubbing alcohol to disinfect his wound.
The alcohol poured into his wound, the pain pierced his heart, combined with Shane not being able to see, the pain in his body magnified many times.
But he just furrowed his eyebrows and didn't scream. If his fingers weren't shaking, Venn would have thought that the virus had paralyzed his sensory nerves.
'Does it hurt? If you are in pain, it proves that you are alive, you are a patient, can't you have some self-awareness of a patient?"
Venn lowered his voice, scolding him while helping him with a bandage.
Shane's face was expressionless, he didn't refute, just asked. 'Where did Bertha go?"
'She went abroad."
Venn spoke briefly.
"Go abroad?" Shane sat up, leaning against the headboard. 'Why did she go abroad? What does she want to do?"
'Do you still want to know?" Venn smirked.
Shane nodded, he gradually regained his reason, and his face restored its usual cold expression.
Venn continues to seduce Shane. 'If you want to know the situation, then obediently take the medicine. If you can be obedient all day today, I will tell you."
He brought the pills and put them in Shane's left hand, he put the glass of water in his right hand.
"Don't spill the water."
Shane popped the pills into his mouth and drank water.
His mouth was filled with a bitter taste that made his face turn white. He tried to suppress his nausea.
But Venn still noticed his expression was not right, he frowned. 'Is the medicine very bitter?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Venn immediately understood.
It was done by the second brother.
The second brother is quiet and has a strange and arrogant personality, people often call him a strange doctor, and angering him is no easier than the eldest brother. He can always make others suffer but they cannot say it.
Venn remembered Bertha's instructions before leaving. He took out a milk candy from his pocket and stuffed it into Shane's hand.
'This is what Bertha asked me to give you. She said you like this milk candy flavor the most, she buys it a lot. She told me that every time I finished taking the medicine, I had to give you a piece of candy. My mission is complete, drink or not, it's up to you."
Venn didn't understand, a twenty-eight-year-old man, the head of Miller's house, he was not a child, but he liked to eat milk candy.
Unbelievable.
Shane held the milk candy, his long fingers gently caressing the candy wrapper, his expression gradually became gentle, no longer aggressive.
He touched the edge of the candy wrapper, tore it off, put it in his mouth, and silently ate the candy.
The familiar smell of milk melted gently in his mouth, it brought his memories back to every night Bertha took the medicine into her mouth and fed him, the past month, those were their sweet days.
Venn noticed the corners of his eyes were red. "What's wrong with you? Does the candy not taste good or is it painful somewhere?"
Shane didn't explain, his eyelids lowered, his expression sad.
