Pill Maker Bullies The Boss

Check Up

Taehyung veered his eyes away from her. He inhaled deeply before he tilted his head up and drank the medicine.

He expected the medicine to taste bitter and unpalatable. However, he discovered that it had barely any odor or taste.

Taehyung picked up a glass of water after taking the medicine and took a few sips.

Lisa was finally at ease when she saw him finish the medicine. She checked the time on her watch and got up. Then she said sweetly, “I’m off to school.”

She looked completely different from earlier when she had told Taehyung to take the medicine.

The door closed with a click before long. Taehyung could not help sighing. “Brother Namjoon, don’t you think Lili gives off such a scary vibe when she gets serious?”

Namjoon glanced at him. “Nope.”

Even if she did, he would never admit to it since it would be embarrassing for him to accept that his younger sister gave him the jitters.

Taehyung suddenly straightened his back and moved his hand to touch it. A warm sensation was spreading throughout his injury. His expression altered in surprise.

Namjoon noticed something different with Taehyung’s expression and could not help asking solemnly. “What’s wrong?”

Taehyung tilted his head sideways as he pressed his back again. However, he did not feel the usual sharp pain he got from the slightest touch. “That’s odd. My injury suddenly feels warm after taking her meds.”

Namjoon thought about the drug Lisa had given him. After he took them, his occupation-related health problems stopped acting up. He felt a lot more energetic than usual.

Namjoon suddenly turned to Taehyung and spoke in a serious tone. “Go to the hospital for a checkup.” Then he paused and added. “I don’t think our baby sister would give you meds for no reason.”

All that talk about clearing heat and expelling toxins was sheer nonsense.

Although Lisa only reunited with the Huo family recently, Namjoon instinctively felt that she was special.

Taehyung lowered his eyes and squeezed his hands slightly.

Ever since he returned from Yunhyeong’s place, he had forced himself not to think about his health. However, he was keenly aware of how he lay in bed at night thinking about the same thing over and over again – he was a cripple.

Taehyung had rejected Yeonjun’s offer when he attempted to convince Taehyung to see a Chinese physician a few days ago. Despite learning from Yeonjun how expensive and rare his little sister’s medicine was, Taehyung had instinctively resisted treatment.

After suffering enough disappointment, he had lost all hope.

Even though Taehyung had learned to accept facts, he felt a sliver of hope from how his body was reacting to her medicine at this moment.

Perhaps he could give it another shot?

Taehyung gathered his thoughts before he nodded to Namjoon. “Mhm. I’ll get it done tomorrow.”

Namjoon was relieved to see that Taehyung was receptive to his suggestion. He added as an afterthought. “I’ll come with you.”

“Don’t worry. Yeonjun can accompany me. He happens to know a famous Chinese physician,” said Taehyung.

“Fine. Call me if anything happens,” said Namjoon without insisting any further.

“Sure.” Taehyung nodded. Then he took the medicine bottle from the table and placed it in his pocket.
