Chapter 391
Benjamin sounded excited as he spoke to Carlisle with admiration.
Carlisle’s move not only kept Benjamin out of trouble, but also caused Titan and
Jalen to fight it out.
Carlisle had predicted such a result, and he did not appear overly delighted. He said in a low voice, “Ben, you should know what to say and what not to say in front of my parents, right?”
Benjamin grinned. “Carl, although I’m not as smart as Heath, I’m not a fool. I won’t let
your parents learn about our identities. During dinner, I told them that we’re your business partners and Heath was harmed by an assassin hired by a business rival.”
Hearing this, Carlisle was relieved. “Take good care of Heath. It’s getting late, and I
should sleep soon.”
“Okay. Goodbye, Carl.”
“Bye.” Carlisle hung up the phone and put it aside.
Carlisle felt more at ease with Benjamin staying with his parents. After all, Benjamin
had experienced a lot, and the local tyrants of Rainville may not necessarily be able to suppress him even if they tried.
Queenie came in at this moment with the herbal medicine in hand. “Carlisle, the
medicine has cooled down. Wake Wanda up, and I’ll feed this to her.”
Carlisle turned to look at Wanda and said gently, “Wanda, wake up and take the
medicine.”
Wanda slowly opened her eyes and spread her arms coquettishly. “Hug me.”
Queenie’s jaw dropped in surprise. She suddenly regretted acting cute to Zachary in
front of Wanda. She even told Wanda that men were defenseless against coquettish
acts.
Wanda had learned everything and used it on Carlisle in front of her!
Carlisle was just as stunned. Still, he leaned forward to hug Wanda with a smile. He
then lifted her to an upright position.
Wanda sat against the bed’s headboard. Her eyes were dull, and she was
expressionless as if she was an empty shell without a soul,
Queenie scooped a spoonful of medicine and fed it to Wanda, whispering, “Wanda, open your mouth.”
Wanda did not respond. It was as if she had not heard Queenie.
“Let me do it,” Carlisle said.
Queenie passed the medicine to Carlisle, who also scooped a spoonful of medicine and fed it to Wanda. “Wanda, open your mouth,” he tried.
Wanda blinked and looked up at Carlisle, then she imitated Carlisle in opening her
mouth.
Carlisle fed the medicine to Wanda and she swallowed.
“It’s bitter.” Wanda frowned as she looked at Carlisle with a resentful gaze.
“You’ll recover after having this.” Carlisle smiled and tried to feed her again.
Wanda, however, shut her mouth tight and shook her head vigorously.
Queenie was growing a little annoyed. “Wanda, I won’t like you anymore if you don’t
behave.”
But Wanda still refused to open her mouth, regardless of how Queenie coaxed her.
Carlisle was also helpless.
Queenie suddenly suggested, “Why don’t you feed her with your mouth?”
Carlisle gave Queenie a confused look. “What do you mean by ‘mouth“?”
