That night, at the Octobar Pub, Shaun snatched Loid's drink out of his hands as he said worriedly, "Loid, you've had like 30 bottles of beer. You need to stop! Even if you don't get drunk, you're going to ruin your liver."
"Give it back," Loid snarled at him. There was a wild look in his eyes.
"No!" Shaun hugged the bottle of beer close to his body, refusing to relent. "You're not fully cured of the poison yet. Even if Lily said you could have alcohol, you shouldn't go overboard."
Loid stiffened at the mention of Lily. He leaned back against the couch without saying anything. Shaun sighed. He didn't know what to say.
That morning, they left Jason's ward, but they didn't leave the hospital. They had been waiting for her the entire day at the entrance of the hospital.
Loid wanted to wait for Lily, but she did not come out of the hospital the entire day.
Loid had also called Daniel. Lily hadn't allowed Daniel to go into the ward, so he didn't know what was going on either.
After that, Loid and Shaun went to the Octobar Pub and downed 30 beers in quick succession. Loid never liked beer. He only drank it because Lily liked beer.
Shaun stared at Loid, grabbing his own hair in frustration. He could see that Loid liked Lily. He was worried that Jason was really Lily's boyfriend. That was why he hadn't let them see each other before this.
It was true that Lily treated Jason differently. Shaun had never seen her so concerned about someone before.
It wasn't hard to figure out that they weren't just regular siblings. Their relationship definitely went deeper than that.
They weren't even related biologically, so it was still possible for them to fall in love with each other.
The problem now was that Loid had fallen in love with Lily too. What was Shaun going to do about all this?
"Let's go home."
After a while, Loid stood up. His gait was sluggish and wobbly due to how much he had drunk. Shaun quickly stood up to help support him. They left the pub together.
