Chapter 1374 - 1314: The Siblings’ Bitterness

Paige’s love is light and airy, like a soft feather brushing over the itchiest spot in Kiya’s heart, over and over. She’s like that playful vixen in a book who covers the lamp with her sleeve, laughing and stopping her lover from reading. She’s utterly self-absorbed, mischievous, and captivating...

Kiya was so captivated by such a woman, pulling every trick in the book to get her, only to lose her again in the end.

"My name is Paige!"

"Paige!"

Kiya called out the woman’s name in a soft voice full of complex emotions.

...

Gavin had settled the Queen Mother and came to report to Kiya, only to find him standing dazed under a banyan tree.

He stepped forward and said, "Sultan, the Queen Mother has been settled. Before I left, I reminded them to keep a close watch and not let her sneak out..." Pausing for a moment, Gavin added honestly, "However, the Queen Mother is very upset and doesn’t wish to stay there."

Kiya was abruptly pulled back from his reverie, and it was a very unpleasant feeling. He said coldly,

"She doesn’t have a choice!"

A nut fell and hit Kiya on the shoulder. He looked up to see a cute little squirrel, which scampered away as soon as Kiya caught sight of it.

"Go find Mark, and ask him to come up with a good excuse to explain why the Queen Mother went to the Salameh Mosque."

"Yes, Sultan."

Kiya continued to give instructions, "Have you selected the candidates I’ve asked for to protect the Queen?"

"They’ve been chosen, and I plan to send them over today." Gavin glanced at Kiya and cautiously asked, "Do we need to let the Queen know about these bodyguards?"

Looking at the small nut in his hand, Kiya after a long pause said, "Don’t let her know... protect her secretly!"

"Yes, Sultan!"

Silence settled again. Gavin stood there, neither moving nor staying.

He couldn’t understand why the Sultan suddenly wanted to come to this place, and didn’t want anyone to disturb him.

After a few minutes, Gavin couldn’t hold it any longer and asked, "Sultan, are we really not bringing the Queen back?"

Kiya didn’t answer, holding the small nut, he silently walked away. After hesitating for a moment, Gavin followed him.

...

Sileria City,

Sienna Johnson personally went into the kitchen to make chicken soup for Paige. Sienna’s cooking skills were excellent, and the meals she made were especially fragrant.

For example, the chicken soup had a very rich flavor, yet there wasn’t a trace of oil on top, it was particularly delicious.

Paige said embarrassedly, "Sister-in-law, you don’t have to cook for me every day; you can just have the chef do it."

"You were seriously injured. Although you’re out of danger now, you still need to take good care of yourself. Otherwise, when you get older, you’ll suffer for it.

I’ve been conditioning Adrian’s body, so you might as well get treated at the same time."

Adrian took a sip of the chicken soup and laughed, "My brother marrying you was definitely a blessing for the Desmond Family..."

"Yes, I think so too. But your brother doesn’t seem to think that way."

"What’s wrong with my brother?"

"Once, when I made herbal cuisine for him with Eucommia, he found it too bitter and poured it into my mom’s potted tulips, which directly killed that expensive pot of tulips my mom had been caring for over many years..."

"..."

"Those tulips were a birthday gift from my dad to my mom. She was sad for quite a while."

"Did Auntie Agatha know it was my brother who did it?" Adrian had really stirred up trouble.

Sienna smiled at her mischievously, "Not for now. But I warned him that if he doesn’t behave and drink his medicine, I’ll tell my mom, and then your brother straightened up..."

"Haha..." Paige laughed, "Sure enough, there’s always someone who can outsmart another; Auntie Agatha has your brother perfectly in check."

"Yes, I’ve also realized my mom is really good at dealing with Adrian."

As Sienna brought a bowl of black-brown Traditional Medicine, Paige couldn’t laugh anymore.

"Sister-in-law, didn’t I just have the chicken soup herbal dish? Do I still have to drink Traditional Medicine?"

"The previous one was just for conditioning, this one is for treatment... didn’t you have a small amount of congestion in your brain? This is good for it, drink up..."

Paige: ...

"You two really live up to being siblings. Drinking Traditional Medicine is like drinking poison."

Actually, the way Sienna coaxed her to drink the medicine really resembled a queen coaxing Snow White into eating a poisoned apple.

"Sister-in-law, I know your family owns a Pharmaceutical Factory and these herbs don’t cost anything, but you can’t have me drink this three times a day... no, five times a day..." Paige now breathed Traditional Medicine with every breath.

"Once you’re well, you won’t have to drink it anymore.

Bitter medicine is good for the patient. You lost a lot of health in the car accident, think about Ella, she’s so young. If you don’t recover well and end up burdened with illness, wouldn’t you be dragging her down?"

Sienna even brought up her child, and sure enough, Paige became more obedient. Thinking of her daughter, Paige picked up the black-brown medicine and drank it all at once.

"Sister-in-law, how much longer do I have to drink this?" After drinking, Paige had a mouthful of bitterness.

"Two more months."

Adrian felt like dying; why did his sister-in-law have to own a Pharmaceutical Factory...

Adrian walked in to see his sister with a painful expression, smelling the scent of Traditional Medicine; he immediately guessed what happened just now.

Adrian looked at his sister sympathetically, feeling that they were so unfortunate. But such words could only be thought silently, Adrian would never dare say them out loud.

"Look at you acting as if it’s a big deal—it’s just a bit of Traditional Medicine! A person unaware might think you’d been drinking arsenic."

"Brother, poison is deadly, but drinking it once means I’d meet my maker. But with this medicine, I have to keep drinking it for two months..." Paige complained to her brother.

Adrian delivered a bunch of high-sounding words, and just as Paige was about to mock him a bit, Sienna said,

"Adrian, you came just in time. There’s some chicken soup herbal dish left that I made for Paige, why don’t you have it."

Adrian: ...

Paige laughed, "Brother, bitter medicine is good for the patient. Hurry and drink it while it’s hot..." Babbling on, Paige returned everything Adrian had just said to her.

"Sister-in-law, give my brother more, he’s so big, he needs more to make it work."

"There’s another bowl."

"Let my brother drink it all."

"Alright, sure."

Adrian: ...

Sienna placed the chicken soup in front of Adrian, her hair clinging to her chest, her dark hair with pale flesh. She looked up, smiling charmingly...

Adrian felt that even if this woman served him arsenic, he would willingly drink it.

"Drink it, or I’ll tell your mother-in-law you killed her beloved tulips."
