Chapter 67: Giving the pill!
In a dimly lit luxurious room, a woman with flawless beauty was sitting leisurely on the couch, her beautiful blonde hair cascading over her shoulder, her body draped with pristine white robes. She opened her cherry lips taking a bit of the apple in her hand.
"Your Majesty!" She heard a faint voice filled with respect causing her to turn her gaze towards the door "Enter!"
*creek* A woman opened the grand door and entered inside. She walked closer to the beautiful woman and bowed "Your Majesty... a letter from the Sect Master of the Lunar Blossom Pavillion."
The woman raised an eyebrow "From Xin'er?" she muttered and raised her arm. The servant moved and placed the letter on her palm.
The woman opened the letter and saw through the contents of the letter "An ancient heritage..." she muttered and glanced at the servant "Write a letter to her and say that I am not interested in the meeting and let the Top Sects take the decision."
"As you say, Your Majesty!" The servant bowed and turned to leave the room.
"Wait!" suddenly the woman raised her voice and the servant turned her head "Your Majesty?"
"Any words from Hua'er?"
The servant shook her head "No, there is no information from Lady Hua till this moment."
Hearing the beautiful woman frown her brows, "You can leave..." The servant bowed and left the room.
"What is she doing in the mortal world? It is kind of boring without her." a sigh escaped her lips.
...
Zhao Tian who was sitting on the couch glanced at his Mom as he took the coffee cup from her hands "Mom, did you get enough sleep?" he asked in concern seeing the dark circles under her eyes.
Zhao Suyin forced a smile "I-I am alright Tian'er, yeah... just couldn't get enough sleep."
Zhao Tian frowned "Mom, is everything alright?"
Zhao Suyin shook her head and showed a smile "Don't worry Tian'er, I am alright."
"You sure?"
"yeah, I am.. haha."
"Well, if you say so..."
Zhao Suyin asked with a slight frown "Tian'er, will Ying'er be at home today?"
Watching the back of Zhao Tian and Chi Miya, the maid's eyes softened "She has grown into a mature woman and now she has a partner who is handsome and seems like a good person."
"The Master would have surely been happy to see her daughter like this..." she muttered remembering the dead father of Chi Miya.
"Shui'er!" Chi Miya gave a knock on the door. "Sister? Come in."Zhao Tian and Chi Miya entered the room and as Chi Shui's gaze fell on Zhao Tian, a surprise flashed across her face "Senior Zhao!"
Zhao Tian smiled at Chi Shui who was sitting on her bed, her lower body covered with a blanket. Chi Shui placed aside the book she was reading and looked at Chi Miya "What? Going to introduce your boyfriend to me?" she asked in a teasing voice.
Chi Miya smiled wryly "Well, you can also say that... Tian is my boyfriend now." Chi Shui's lips twitched "So you really came to show off, huh?"
Seeing their banter, Zhao Tian let out a faint chuckle and sat on the bed near Chi Shui. "Shui, I actually came here to give you a medicine."
"Medicine?" Chi Miya tilted her head and Chi Miya nodded "Yeah, Tian especially ordered this medicine from overseas to cure your leg and it will cure your leg in a week."
E-Eh? Chi Shui was dumbfounded hearing this. Within a week? She couldn't help but giggle "Haha, treating this in a week?"
-_- Chi Miya was stupefied but it was a valid reaction because anyone would be stunned if they heard that a medicine could heal a fatal injury such as this in a week.
Chi Shui turned to Zhao Tian and her eyes grew tender, bowing slightly "Senior Zhao, I know you are kind and really care for me trying to heal me..."
A smile appeared on her lips "But... even many high-level doctors couldn't heal this injury. Let me be, this injury can't be healed... I am fine this way living like this."
Seeing the bright smile on Chi Shui's lips Zhao Tian shook his head helplessly "Even then, it is not gonna harm to try this medicine right?"
Chi Miya nodded "Yes, Shui'er try this medicine, please for your Sister." Seeing her sister's face Chi Shui gave a nod "Ok!"
Zhao Tian retrieved a pill bottle out of his pocket and took a green pill from it. Chi Miya frowned seeing this "Chinese medicine? Are you sure? Even Western medicine-"
Zhao Tian gently grasped her chin with his left hand "Open..." A subtle blush appeared on Chi Shui's face and with a timid nod she parted her pink lips and Zhao Tian tossed the pill into her mouth closing her chin.
*gulp* Chi shui swallowed the pill and a sigh left her lips "A-Are you guys satisfied?" Chi Miya smiled "Yeah, very much..."
After a little bit of chatting, both Zhao Tian and Chi Miya left the room. "Are you happy now?" Zhao Tian asked wrapping his hand around her shoulder and she rested her head on his shoulder with a smile "En. Thank you Tian..."
*smooch*
...
After Zhao Tian and Chi Miya left the room, a sigh escaped Chi Shui's lips as her gaze wandered to the courtyard of their mansion through the open window as the curtains swayed in the gentle breeze.
" 'I am fine this way, living like this?' Haha.. what a lie from my mouth..." Her eyes trembled moistening with tears... "I-I also wanted a normal life..." a single drop fo tear slipping past her eyes.
