Chapter 303 A Sweet Fruit, a Sour Consequence
After opening the drian, Zachary kept enthusiastically recommending it.
“It’s really good. Want a piece?”
Jaden rubbed his nose.
“Sire, I already ate a lot of fruit and cookies.”
Matthew spoke up as well.
“Dinner’s still cooking, and I haven’t finished chopping firewood.”
The father and son both politely turned down Zachary’s offer.
Finished
Zachary had no choice but to give up. He happily hugged his durian, sat on the hammock, and gently swayed back and forth as he ate.
Matthew was working hard at chopping firewood.
However, every now and then, he glanced toward the tree. It was obvious he wanted to stick close to Zachary like usual and hug and kiss him, but for some reason, he seemed to be struggling with himself.
The hesitant look on his face made Zachary laugh. Suddenly wanting to tease him, Zachary waved him
over.
Matthew walked
“What is it?”
Zachary glanced at the large axe in his hand and couldn’t help laughing.
“You look a little scary like that. It feels like you’re here to butcher me.”
Matthew immediately put the axe away and washed his hands while he was at it.
Zachary smiled mischievously, then deliberately put on a serious face.

“You haven’t kissed me once today. Don’t like me anymore?”
Matthew stared at Zachary’s lips as if he were thinking something over.
Zachary gave him a pitiful look.
“If you don’t want to kiss me, forget it.”
“No.”
Matthew suddenly cupped his face and lowered his head to kiss him.
Zachary instantly laughed and turned his face away.

“I was just teasing you.”
Emotion won over reason, but Matthew swallowed and replied, “But Nwant to kiss you.”
Zachary picked up a piece of durian
“Then, try this first. What if you really can’t handle the smell? What if you run away halfway through the kiss? That’d hurt my pride.”
Matthew hesitated for two seconds. Then, he opened his mouth and cautiously took a small bite.
The slight tension on his face disappeared at once. A strange look flashed through his eyes. Then, he immediately took a much bigger bite.
When Zachary saw his reaction, he laughed even harder.
“It’s really good.”
Matthew carefully tasted it.
“It suddenly smells good now.”
In the end, Zachary still didn’t let Matthew kiss him.
Liking durian was one thing, but he didn’t want a durian–flavored kiss.
Jaden came out of the cave. The moment he looked/up, he saw that Matthew was eating the durian too.
Unable to resist, he walked
Just like that, the durian successfully won over another loyal young fan.
When Ian and Taylor came by that evening to visit, they bravely tried it once and coinpletely fell in love
with it.
Quincy, however, still couldn’t accept it.
The father and son always finished eating it outside before going home. They even made a point of brushing their teeth and taking a bath. Before going inside, they kept sniffing each other to make sure the smell was completely gone.
However, after eating durian without restraint for several days in a row, Zachary woke up one morning with a swollen, painful throat.
His voice was so hoarse that he sounded like an old, broken radio that kept cutting in and out.
He forced out the words.

“You two… don’t have… sore throats?”
Jaden quickly poured his a cup of water.
“Sire, hurry and drink some.
Matthew’s expression turned serious.
“I’m going to get medicine from Mr. Bruce.”
“Wait!”
Zachary quickly grabbed him. His voice almost cracked.
“I have… a home remedy.”
Finished
After learning that boiling durian shells in water could soothe the throat, Matthew and Jaden immediately cooked a huge pot. There was enough water to use for bathing.
Zachary drank two bowls in a row.
The taste wasn’t great, but compared to Bruce’s medicine, it was practically sweet spring water and premium nectar. It was a thousand times easier to drink.
The weather during the rainy season changed constantly.
One second, the sun was shining brightly. The next second, dark clouds covered the sky, and heavy rain came pouring down.
The bright, hot afternoon instantly turned dark and gloomy.
When Elias heard the rain, he quickly walked outside the cave to collect the clothes and blankets that had been drying, but the moment he raised his hand, a sharp pain suddenly shot through his stomach.
He nearly lost his balance.
With difficulty, he moved to the side and braced himself against a tree trunk.
A layer of cold sweat quickly covered his forehead, and his breathing became rapid.
The rain felt cold as it landed on him.
Gritting his teeth, Elias tried to walk back to the cave, but the pain was too intense.
Even his hands were trembling.
Meanwhile, Kyle had just hunted for their food.
When he saw the sudden downpour, he hurried back toward their cave.
The moment he recognized the person under the tree, his heart nearly jumped into his throat. “What’s

wrong? Elias, what’s wrong? Where does it hurt?”
Elias‘ eyes turned red, and his face was pale.
“Why did you take so long to get back…”
“I’m sorry. It’s my fault.”
Kyle’s heart ached terribly.
He picked up his mate and rushed into the cave. “I’m going to get help. I’ll be right back. Everything’s going to be okay.”
A black panther raced through the rain. Its anxious and urgent roars instantly echoed throughout the tribe.
When Zachary and Quincy heard the news, they hurried over.
As they approached, soft cries were already coming from inside the cave.
The two of them quickly asked, “How’s Elias?”
Laurent smiled brightly.
“Elias is asleep now. Everything went smoothly.”
Kyle stretched out an arm covered in bite marks.
He gently touched Elias‘ face, then carefully tucked the blanket around him.
He stayed by the bed and watched him for a long time.
Only then did the worry weighing on his heart ease a little.
