Kathryn asked, “Is this the medicine my mother gave me before, the one she made me drink?”
Pedro replied, “That’s what Madam Farrell said. But I’m not sure if it’s the same. The hospital didn’t give us the results. I suspect Madam Farrell used her influence to keep the truth from us. I won’t let you take this medicine. I’ll send it to another hospital to find out what it really is.”
Despite Pedro’s warning, Kathryn opened the packet and sniffed it. “It smells like the drink I had last time.”
Pedro cautioned, “Don’t get too close. If you accidentally ingest it, you might be bedridden for days.”
Kathryn carefully folded the packet and handed it back. “Take it to a hospital outside Jensburg. My mother’s been plotting for years and has connections. If she finds out, we won’t get the truth.”
Pedro pocketed the packet. Kathryn then teased, “My mother asked you to drug me, but you didn’t. Aren’t you worried she’ll come after you?”
Pedro lightly pinched her cheek. “I’m loyal to you, not your mother. She may lead the family, but I’m not her assistant. I can disobey her unless you tell me otherwise. She said the medicine wouldn’t harm you, and I believe her, but medicine is still dangerous. Last time, you took a sip and ended up in the hospital for days. The effects are strong and could harm you. I could never do something that would hurt you.”
Pedro spoke earnestly, knowing Kathryn was testing him. By giving her the medicine immediately, he showed his loyalty. He would always be devoted to her.

The readers' comments on the novel: Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary)
Please use the English names as it is difficult to read and connect....
I am very greatful of your hard work in translating the novel in English, is there any chance you could use the character’s name in English please, it’s hard to follow the story with Chinese names. Thanks...
Please use correct names and watch the repeating of pages....
Thank you for the story, its going on well, however the changing of names somehow makes it difficult to follow. Even learning the new ones that you have tried to match, it is extremely difficult to follow and enjoy the drama while trying to go back to rechecking who we are talking about. The title is still Married at first sight (Serenity and Zachary) but they no longer exist in the whole picture. You created a dynamic community which I am sure everyone felt they lived and travelled with. We appreciate all the effort and your insight. I am very grateful for this novel is very captivating....
Please continue using Zachary,. Serenity,Duncan, Liberty etc . You jumped 30 updates and changed names where I'm unable to follow the story and losing interest. This is a great disservice to your loyal readers....
Changing names ruins the whole story. Whoever heard of such a thing....
Please use the old names, the new names are too confusing...
