Chapter 61 Contents of the Pill
Little Fish, feeling the sting of pain, turned its head with its jaws wide open, ready to strike. But when it saw Charmaine, its demeanor completely changed. With a flick of its tail, it scurried away to a corner behind Emyr, opening its mouth to pant nervously.
It was clearly scared and muttering silent curses in its own way.
Emyr’s eyelid twitched at the sight. He turned his gaze to Charmaine, who stood there awkwardly. “Is this how you usually take care of my pet?”
Charmaine scratched her cheek, feigning innocence. “It was an accident! Maybe it just doesn’t like me?”
Emyr scoffed. “Doesn’t like you? That’s putting it lightly.”
Charmaine thought for a moment and revised her statement. “Alright, maybe it really hates me?”
Emyr didn’t hold back. “Judging by its reaction, I’d say it hates you with a passion.”
Charmaine puffed her cheeks in protest. “Stop exaggerating!”
Emyr responded with a cold chuckle. “Heh.”
Freya White, who had been standing by silently, watched the exchange between Eymr and a maid with growing disbelief.
She had known Emyr for over a decade, yet this was the first time she’d seen him acting like this. Despite his sharp words, there was no trace of disdain or irritation on his face. In fact, he seemed to be enjoying himself.
Her gaze shifted to Charmaine, who, without makeup or effort, radiated a natural charm. Freya’s instincts flared with a warning.
“How dare a mere servant talk back to her employer?” Freya’s tone was sharp, and her posture exuded authority.
She turned to Alfred and ordered imperiously, “Get rid of her immediately. Someone like her has no place near Emyr!”
Her words were laced with contempt as she glared at Charmaine. But instead of complying, Alfred approached Freya with an air of cool detachment.
“Dr. White, you’re only a guest here. Perhaps you’re overstepping.”
Freya was stunned by the butler’s audacious tone. Charmaine, meanwhile, couldn’t help but stifle a laugh.
Freya’s shock quickly turned to fury, especially when Charmaine’s laughter hit her ears.
She quickly complained to Emyr pitifully, “Emyr, I was only trying to help discipline your staff. How is that wrong?”
Emyr ignored her and picked up a plump fish treat before skillfully tossing it toward the sulking crocodile
in the corner.
Emyr watched the creature snap up the offering in one gulp and replied, “Your help isn’t needed here.”

“You-!”
Seeing that Emyr wasn’t on her side, Freya’s perfectly made–up face twisted in anger.

Emyr then turned to Charmaine, his voice light but commanding, “You should greet our guest properly?
Alfred’s expression softened with a fond smile,
Mr. Emyr was like a parent nudging a child to be polite.
Charmaine pursed her lips but complied with a perfunctory, “Hello, Dr. White.
Freya sniffed arrogantly, deciding not to stoop to the level of a mere servant.
She refocused her attention on Emyr and persuaded, “Emyr, the medication I prepared for you last month seemed effective. Remember how you got through the power outage without any painkillers? If you continue taking it, I’m confident your episodes will improve.”
Emyr glanced at her briefly, then turned his attention to Charmaine.
“What do you think?”
Charmaine blinked in surprise.
