Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1686

After finishing the soup, Ebony Fox angrily tossed the bowl straight at Kurt's face.

"Whoa there."

With lightning-fast reflexes, Kurt caught it with both hands, a cheeky grin on his face. "Soup is done. Time for your medicine."

"I said I'm not taking pills." Ebony Fox glared at him, frowning. "I know my own body. I'll be fine in a bit."

Her immune system had been entirely built through brutal "training."

Back at the Huntsman Institute, let alone having medicine, they rarely even had enough food.

When you got sick, you survived if you could endure it; if you couldn't, you died.

She was long used to it.

"Don't tell me you're afraid they're too bitter to swallow?" Kurt stared at her with a half-smile. "The legendary special forces instructor, Ebony Fox, is actually afraid of taking medicine?"

"Forgive my bluntness, but are you afraid of needles, too?"

That was extremely blunt!

"Keep smiling, I dare you!" Ebony Fox grabbed a nearby throw pillow and hurled it violently at his head.

"I won't smile, as long as you take your pills." Kurt used reverse psychology. "If you don't take them, it just proves you're scared."

Ebony Fox shot him a sidelong glance, utterly exasperated. "You are sick in the head."

Was she a three-year-old?

"I sure am."

Kurt didn't deny it. He really was sick—lovesick.

And she was his only cure.

After Ebony Fox spoke, she noticed Kurt staring intensely at her, a faint smile lingering on his lips.

She quickly looked away and held out her hand. "Give me the pills."

Her head was already splitting; bickering with him was making it feel like it would explode.

Once she took the meds and regained her strength, she'd beat him half to death.

"Fever reducers can make you drowsy. Get some sleep." Kurt brought over a blanket. "You'll feel better once you sweat it out."

"Thanks. I took the medicine. You can leave now," Ebony Fox said, lying back on the couch, her tone cold and distant.

"Alright."

Kurt nodded softly. "I'll pack up the trash and take it with me. Get some rest."
