Chapter 68
The cold shower last night was really something else.
Adelaide went downstairs and said hi to Draven, telling him she
needed a straw. Draven seemed to be ready in advance, quickly
handing her a straw and a super–sized water cup.
Draven said, “Mr. Thorton would throw tantrums like a six or
seven–year–old every time he got sick, acting like getting a shot
or taking medicine was the end of the world. If he couldn’t

“Nathan said Mr. Thorton had a really bad fever this time,
definitely can’t get better without taking medicine or getting a

please help persuade Mr. Thorton to drink it?”
“Mr. Thorton was always happy to see me now, because I

In an instant, he opened his eyes, which were even redder than
before.
“Is this called water?”
Adelaide saw his impatient expression for the first time, it was like a little kid throwing a tantrum. She couldn’t help but feel
like laughing.
Reginald seemed to have noticed something, his eyelids lifted,

his eyes shining with a mysterious light.
Adelaide gave a light cough and said, “This is for reducing
fever.””
“I didn’t drink!” he shouted with much more strength.
“I’ll get Draven up here then.”
Reginald’s eyelid twitched twice, “Give it to me.”
Adelaide grinned and said, “Mr. Thorton, take your time
drinking, I’ll hold it for you.”
“I thank you,” Reginald said slowly, emphasizing each word.
“No problem, last night Mr. Thorton cooked radish soup for me,
