Pill Maker Bullies The Boss

Courting Disaster

Taehyung sighed inside his heart. The way his mother said it made it sound as though she was his stepmother.

Taehyung raised his head and wanted to speak up but was beaten by his father’s next set of words.

“Honey, it’s redundant to ask. He’s a grownup. Can’t he take care of his meals?” Huo Jiyong shook his head.

“I was just asking, okay?” Song Chaerin glanced at her husband. She headed back to the room, patting the mask on her face.

Taehyung: “…”

Ever since he moved back a few days ago, he was unsure whether it made any difference to his condition or not, but his heart certainly got wounded repeatedly.

Lisa watched her fourth brother wallow in self-pity. He looked adorable. She consumed the soup before turning to place the cake in front of him. “This bakery’s strawberry cake is quite good.”

Taehyung was just going to say that his little sister was the best.

“???”

Why on earth did she get him strawberry cake?

Did he look like a girl to her?

Lisa went back to eating her spicy hot pot and failed to notice the look on her fourth brother’s face.

Taehyung picked up his chopsticks sadly. He let go of all inhibitions since he was famished. He placed a fish ball into his mouth and began eating ravenously resulting in the oil from the fishball splash on his clothes.

This was getting really awkward.

Lisa coughed but didn’t look at him.

They ate quietly until Taehyung recalled something and looked at his little sister. “Lili, were the meds that you gave me very expensive?”

Tong Yu told him that those experts claimed that the medicine was priceless and wanted him to ask his little sister for the source.

“Not too much,” replied Lisa casually.

After she finished her food, she leaned against the chair with a satiated look on her face. “I’ll give you another bottle in a few days. I guarantee you’ll recover fully after taking it.”

Taehyung was stunned. He instinctively clenched the hand resting on the table and stammered. “Full… full recovery?”

Lisa blinked at him before getting up to clear the dishes. She smiled and continued to speak while walking towards the kitchen. “Brother Taehyung, don’t worry. I’m here.”

Taehyung looked at his sister from behind. His mind was in a tizzy. He wanted to ask her what she meant, but a voice in his head told him to not overthink her words.

Lisa came out after doing the dishes to see Taehyung immersed in deep thought. She didn’t probe him on it and only said, “Brother Taehyung, I’m going upstairs.”

Taehyung gathered his thoughts and looked up. “Oh, sure.”

After Lisa went upstairs, he walked over to the living room to sit down on the couch. He looked at Huo Jiyong perplexedly. “Dad, do you think Lili sometimes sounds really… mysterious?”

“Mysterious?” Huo Jiyong narrowed his eyes.

Then he picked up a cushion on the couch and hurled it at his youngest son. “Your little sister even brought supper for you. How can you think that she’s weird?”

Taehyung’s lips twitched. He had clearly said ‘mysterious’. Why did the word change to ‘weird’ while rolling off his father’s tongue?

He was seriously starting to believe that his father was perpetually waiting for a chance to pounce on him.
