Chapter 245 The Bitter Sweet Medicine

Holy crap!

Gael was awake now. His eyes were bright as he looked at Julien.

“Julien, the matriarch put a magic cream on my face last night,” he said excitedly.

“And look! My face is almost healed!”

Finished

Julien froze in shock. Then he leaned closer and saw it for himself. Gael’s face really was much better. The deep damage was fading fast. Joy rushed over him.

Julien had always known how insecure Gael felt. Many nights, he had stood outside Gael’s door, worried sick.

He had heard Gael crying quietly inside more times than he could count.

But now, Rosalie had healed him.

Julien didn’t know what else to say. After a long pause, he spoke from the heart.

“Matriarch, thank you.”

Rosalie smiled at him. “Gael got hurt protecting me. Of course I’d help him.

“He still has many scars on his body,” she went on calmly. “I’ll heal every single one. Little by little.”

She wasn’t bragging. Gael was injured because of her; she would take responsibility until the end.

Julien smiled. This was the best news he’d had in a long time.

Once the excitement faded, Julien held out his left hand and said firmly, “Time to drink your medicine.”

Gael’s face fell. “But I’m already better! Why do I still have to drink it?”

Julien ignored him. All he cared about was that Gael took the medicine.

Gael turned to Rosalie for help, his eyes full of hope. Rosalie shook her head gently. She was clearly on Julien’s side.

Smiling, she took the bowl. “Gael, drinking the medicine will help you heal faster.”

Gael looked like he was about to cry. The medicine was horribly bitter; it was no different than drinking soil water. One sip was enough to make his mouth taste awful all day.

Julien delivered the medicine and left the room. Only Gael and Rosalie remained.

Gael blinked at her, eyes watery, looking pitiful. He clearly hoped she’d let him off the hook.

Rosalie didn’t fall for it. Still, she knew just how bitter the medicine was.

She frowned, made up her mind, and took a big gulp herself.

Chapter 245 The Bitter Sweet Medicine

Before Gael could react, she leaned forward and pressed her lips to his.

The bitter liquid flowed into Gael’s mouth.

It was bitter, but somehow, he tasted a hint of sweetness.

The medicine was gone, but their lips didn’t part. Gael’s tongue brushed against hers, lingering longer than it should.

Their breathing grew heavy, the taste still sharp and bitter between them.

Rosalie felt his breath deepen. She gently pushed him away.

Gael’s chest rose and fell quickly. His eyes were red as he looked at her. “Matriarch…”

Rosalie, however, calmly picked up the remaining half bowl of medicine. “There’s still half left,” she said coolly. “Drink it yourself.”

Then she got out of bed, leaving Gael staring helplessly at the half bowl of bitter liquid.

It was still early. Rosalie hadn’t gone for a run in a long time. She followed her usual path and jogged several laps around the forest.

Halfway through, Leon and Elijah joined her. Leon frowned. “Matriarch, you should tell us before you go out. What if something happens?”

Rosalie smiled awkwardly. She had honestly forgotten.

This forest was full of wild, untamed beasts. If she got hurt, it would be dangerous.

Then another thought crossed her mind.

Leon usually made breakfast. If he was out running, who was cooking?
