t well by finishing it in one gulp without stopping before he declared he was done.
“Isn’t it bitter?”
“It’s fine. It tastes much better than the one I had previously.”
When he took it so lightly, his reaction made Deirdre’s chest tighten with anxiety. She realized that he must have endured hardships when he was previously severely ill.
She said, “I had to suck on a candy when I took it in the afternoon, and I only managed to suppress the bitterness after a long time.”
“Afternoon?”
Deirdre was stunned. She came to realize what she had just said and lowered her head without answering Kyran.
Mrs. Cox was amused and said, “You must thank Deirdre, Mr. Reed. We couldn’t get you to keep the medicine down when you were unconscious in the afternoon. It was Deirdre-”
“Mrs. Cox!” Deirdre was extremely embarrassed. “Let’s not talk about that anymore.”
“Why?” Kyran seemed to have understood the situation, but he wanted to hear it from Deirdre. “How did you make me take the medicine?”
Deirdre’s face blushed scarlet. She glared at him while he smirked but attempted to hold back his smile with great effort. “Alright, I won’t ask anymore.”
Mrs. Cox smiled wider as she witnessed the scene. She suddenly remembered something and said, “Oh right, I asked around and found out that the village head had already sent someone to clear the blocked road. It is estimated that the road will be almost accessible by tomorrow.”
Deirdre asked Kyran, “Can you drive?”
“I feel that I’m almost fully recovered. I should be fine after resting for a night.”
“Both of you can rest first, then. When you’re done resting, you can leave feeling fresh tomorrow. I won’t bother you two anymore.”
Kyran fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow after Mrs. Cox’s departure, perhaps due to exhaustion. Deirdre listened to his even breathing and shut her eyes slowly, feeling a sense of peace that she had never felt before.
