Dr. Kaiser stopped and frowned. "I never liked guests, so I hope you can understand. However, if you win the bet, you may come here for your celebration."
He hoped Tiffany could win. After all, he never liked haughty, evil individuals...especially someone like Charmine. 3
Waverly looked at him and could not hide her admiration for him.
She had to beat Charmine and win this bet so she could admire the lotuses with Dr. Kaiser once more. 1
The thought of the two of them sitting in a small boat, rowing down the stream, made her happy.
She had to make this come true! Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Amid Waverly’s daydreaming, Dr. Kaiser checked the time beside her and calmly pointed out, 'The medicine is ready."
This pulled Waverly back to reality as she turned to look at Dr. Kaiser, who was walking away with hands behind his back.
Waverly had no choice but to follow after him.
When they got back into the house, Dr. Kaiser looked courtly as if he was treating any regular patient. When he brought out the medicine, he gave it to Waverly with both hands. "Drink this and you can go."
Waverly's face stiffened at his words. She accepted the medicines and frowned. 1
She did not want to leave this place, no...but she had no reason to stay.
She narrowed her eyes and sat before the table. Blowing at the medicine he had brewed, Waverly could smell just how bitter it was. She looked up at Dr. Kaiser with her watery eyes. "It's quite bitter, Dr. Kaiser," she spoke, her tone much like a little girl's.
However, Dr. Kaiser merely looked at her as if he did not see the look of anticipation in her eyes. "This is how medicine tastes. Drink while it's hot."
Waverly frowned and bit her lip, saying innocently, "Dr. Kaiser, do you have sugar? I don't like bitter things, but I don't want to trouble you either."
Dr. Kaiser thought about it. "I don’t have sugar, but I have orange skin." "That’ll work!" Waverly smiled.
"Hold on, then."
Dr. Kaiser went into the herbs room and took out a few orange skins with sugar on them.
Waverly reached out to take it.
He placed them on her palm with his clear fingers. As if unintentionally, his fingers grazed her palm.
Waverly instantly felt electrocuted. The current went from her palm to her heart, and her heart fluttered at the touch.
She looked at him gently but saw that he had turned to leave coldly. She thus gazed at his back and felt conflicted, evident in her gaze.
She looked away and, bracing herself for the medicine's bitter taste, drank up-
Following that, the sky darkened along with her heart.
She was about to leave...yet she did not want to.
She wanted so badly to stay here with Dr. Kaiser and admire the flowers, trees, the night breeze, and the banter. 1
Waverly recomposed herself and stood up to greet Dr. Kaiser inside the herbs room. "Dr. Kaiser, it's getting dark, and I should get going. Thank you for taking care of me. I think...we'll meet not long from now."
Dr. Kaiser thought about it and said emotionlessly, "Alright, Ms. Waverly.
You must win against Charmine. I will wait for your news from here."
Seeing how much confidence he showed in her, she became even more determined to win against Charmine, no matter how many sacrifices she had to make.
After that, she could spend some time alone with Dr. Kaiser.
He would be so proud of her victory!
