Norah was taken aback by his sudden change in attitude. She paused for a moment before muttering, "As long as you know you were wrong. I forgive you for what happened earlier."
She pulled out a fever reducer and let out a soft sigh. "Thank God my grandmother had someone prepare a fully stocked medical kit for me."
Her grandmother had even written down the effects and dosages of each medication on sticky notes. Norah had double-checked them a few times just now; it should be fine.
She got up, brought a glass of warm water from the kitchen, and handed the pills to Gonzalez. "I just called Dr. Campbell. He said you probably caught a chill. Take these first. If your fever doesn't break, we're going to the hospital."
Gonzalez looked at the pills in front of him and frowned. "Aren't you going to take my temperature first?"
"Do I need to? You feel like a furnace!" To be sure, Norah pressed a hand to his forehead again, then touched her own. "No need," she declared confidently. "You definitely have a fever."
He still resisted. "I really don't need pills. I'll just drink some water and sleep it off."
"No way. You have to take them!" The girl stubbornly held the medicine out to him.
Gonzalez still didn't move.
Norah tilted her head, looking at him in confusion. "Are you... afraid of taking pills?"
His dark eyes locked onto hers. He let out a scoff, snatched the pills from her hand, tossed them into his mouth, and washed them down with a huge gulp of water.
His tense demeanor made Norah want to laugh.
So this big, tough man was actually scared of swallowing a few pills!
But considering he was sick, she decided not to tease him.
Norah turned to clean up the boxes on the coffee table. Just as she was about to put them back into the kit, she noticed the text on the back of one box. She looked back at Gonzalez and asked, "A rectal suppository... What does that mean?"
Gonzalez froze. The color drained from his face as he suddenly bent over, practically trying to gag himself.
Norah burst into a fit of laughter, doubling over with amusement.
Gonzalez grabbed her arm and yanked her down, rolling over to pin her beneath him on the sofa. His expression was utterly dark. "Norah, did you do that on purpose?"
