"So, the dosage has been reduced from 1 gram to 0.8 grams now." Arabella guessed her expectation and gently said, "The frequency remains the same, and the taste is still a bit bitter. There won't be much change."
"Alright, you're so considerate, Bella." Under Phillip's care, Shirley finished the medicine in the bowl.
Then Brodie took the bowl away, and after a while, he brought another one.
"Phillip, this one's for you."
It was the medicine Arabella had previously prescribed for Phillip. It's good for the heart, once a week.
The moment Phillip smelled it, he frowned, but Arabella was still here, so he plucked up the courage and said, "Bella's meds just smell different. The taste is rich, and it's so delicious! It's really a treat, hahaha!"
Arabella watched him finish it in one go, sympathy welling up at the bitterness in his eyes.
Beside them, Romeo smirked, "Delicious? I'll have Bella make more for you to strengthen your body."
Phillip: Thank you very much!
"It's getting late; take Bella home to rest." Phillip was afraid Bella might actually give him more meds then that would be the end of him.
Arabella knew Phillip wanted them to leave and have their own time, so she smiled and said, "Well, grandma and grandpa, we'll be heading off now. We'll visit again when we have time."
Romeo's eyes shifted, and his aura softened. She said “We”.
Since when did she include him in her plans, saying "we" more and more often?
"Bella means we'll visit again next time." Romeo emphasized the word "we" and reminded Phillip, "Don't pour the medicine away."
"Don't badmouth me in front of Bella! I've never poured away any of Bella's medicine."
"Really?" Romeo retorted, "That plant looks like it was scorched to death."
Phillip followed his gaze to the one-meter plant between the living room and the courtyard and stuttered, "That time I didn't hold the bowl well, it spilled accidentally."
Admitted it??
"It's all Brodie's fault! The medicine he gave me was too hot, so I accidentally let go. Brodie, it's your fault! Be careful next time."
Brodie: I've put up with too much over the years.
