“Urgh!” Emmeline screamed.
Abel was startled, and he almost collapsed to the ground. He asked, “What’s wrong? Emma, what’s wrong? Have I injured you?”
“It’s not you. It’s the remedy, it’s so spicy!”
Emmeline was almost in tears.
Waylon was taken aback, and he said, “When I learned this method, I only knew this was the way to treat it. I didn’t anticipate such a response from you.”
“What should we do?” Abel wondered. He hesitated to continue because he felt bad for
Emmeline.
Benjamin also frowned and concurred, “Yeah, the spiciness caused Emma to cry.”
“Is it very painful?” Janie asked and worriedly held Emmeline’s hand.
Waylon explained, “There isn’t any other option. The film that was obstructing her vision is being dissolved by water from a willow tree branch, which is what is causing the spicy sensation in her eyes. Emma has to…put up with it.”
“What are we going to do?” Abel asked. He cringed as he felt sorry for Emmeline.
“Never mind!”
Emmeline bent down, scooped up the remedy from the basin, and splashed it onto her eyes.
She wailed, “Oh my god! It’s so spicy but refreshing!”
Her tears were streaming down along with the water from the willow tree branches. It was so painful to watch that all three of the men closed their eyes.
Janie also said with a choked voice, “Emma!”
Kendra simply turned her face away.
Emmeline gritted her teeth and repeatedly splashed the remedy into her eyes. The pain and spiciness eventually subsided after a dozen repetitions. She repeatedly rinsed her eyes a few more times before asking, “Waylon, is it okay now?”
Unlock succeeded when the three men turned to look at her face.
Waylon said, “You need to wash a few more times. Your eyes seem to be a little clearer now.”
“I’ll do it.”
Abel picked up the gauze and gently cleaned Emmeline’s eyes. While he did that, he secretly cursed the Imperial Palace Lord in his mind and screwed his forefathers.
Adam: I can’t hear you anyway, and we share the same forefathers! Just go ahead and curse as much as you want!
Abel’s eyes were filled with murderous intent as he said, “Things wouldn’t end well for him!”
“Waylon, you’re not going back?” Emmeline asked as she happily grabbed Waylon’s hand.
Waylon said as he indulgently rubbed her head, “Yeah, you’re not worried about me
Emmeline curved her eyes as she chuckled, “I’ll just behave myself, okay? I promise I won’t give you a chance to do that to me.”
“You’re a clever one, aren’t you?” Waylon chuckled as he lightly touched Emmeline’s. forehead.
Emmeline beamed broadly while leaning on Waylon’s shoulder.
Abel became ecstatic after seeing how happy everyone was. He suggested, “How about we throw a party for Emma tonight?”
“I concur!” Benjamin seconded.
Janie raised her hand and said, “I’m in!”
Waylon said, “I’m in too, but I have one condition.”
“What’s the condition?” Everyone asked simultaneously.
