Charlie was holding a Healing Pill in his palm at this time.
The Healing Pill was about one centimeter in diameter, and he did not bother to put it in a wooden box because it was not as precious as the Rejuvenating Pill. Instead, he simply sealed it with wax paper specially used to seal food.
When Kathleen heard that Charlie was going to give her a gift and was acting like a child as he deliberately clenched one of his fists with his palm down as if it was a mysterious gift, she thought that Charlie was joking with her. So, she smiled and said, “What kind of small gift did you prepare for me, Mr. Wade? Could it be a small bug? Let me state in advance that I’m not afraid of bugs.”
During childhood, little boys had always loved to tease little girls. The most common one was for them to grab a bug in the palm of their hand and pretend to have a gift for the girl so that they would reach out and pick it up.
Kathleen also felt playful at this time. As she spoke, she also reached out her hand and placed it under Charlie’s clenched fist. After that, she looked at Charlie and smiled slightly as she said, “Would you like me to close my eyes?”
Charlie smiled faintly and said indifferently, “No need.”
Subsequently, he loosened his fist, and the Healing pill fell into Kathleen’s hand.
Kathleen felt what seemed to be a ball of paper falling into her hand, but it seemed to have more weight than paper. So, she looked at it curiously and saw that it was a sphere wrapped in wax paper. She was stunned for a moment, and she thought of the Healing Pill that Marianne had shown her, which had also seemed to be wrapped in this kind of wax paper.
Right then, Kathleen was shocked, and she felt her entire body tingling. Her heart was also racing faster than ever as if there had been an instant surge of adrenaline.
Kathleen was still in disbelief even though the Healing Pill was already lying in the palm of her hand.
She was dumbfounded as she stared at Charlie and subconsciously asked, “Mr. Wade, isn’t this the Healing Pill? Why are you suddenly giving me such an expensive gift?”
