Loid's expression darkened when he heard that. "You'll never see another drop of alcohol in this house again."
That was outrageous. Lily had been unconscious for three days, and the first thing she asked for when she woke up was more alcohol. He decided he would stow every last bottle away.
Lily was speechless. She rubbed her temples and said, "Actually, I can drink some alcohol."
She wasn't an alcoholic. She just liked drinking alcohol. Drinking could help her alleviate her frustration when she was in a bad mood.
"You're not allowed to drink anymore!" Loid said resolutely.
Lily relented. "Alright."
She stood up and walked over to Melanie. Then, she placed her fingers on Melanie's wrist to check her pulse with a serious expression.
After a while, she withdrew her hand. "Melanie is fine now, but it will take some time for her damaged organs to recover."
After pondering for a while, she went to her bedroom to get a small ceramic bottle, which she handed to Melanie.
"Hold on to this bottle of pills and keep it on you at all times. Take one if your life is ever in danger. It'll save your life."
"This is too valuable. I can't possibly take it." Melanie frantically tried to give it back to Lily.
She could never forget how much that bottle of SIgnora Cream was worth. It was 50,000 dollars for such a small bottle.
The bottle of life-saving pills would probably be worth way more than that.
It wasn't that she couldn't afford that amount. She was just worried that the pills were hard to make and Lily wouldn't have any left for herself if she gave them to her.
"Just take it. I can make more at any time. It isn't that much trouble."
