Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1444

"Harold—" Lorelei rested her hand on her forehead, murmuring in a feverish daze. "My head hurts so much. It feels like little people are inside hammering away, bang, bang, bang..."

"You have a cold." Harold opened the medical kit, found some fever medication, and brought it to her lips. "Drink this and you'll feel better."

"Oh."

Lorelei leaned in for a sniff and instantly recoiled from the smell, instinctively pushing the cup away. Her eyes were glassy, and refusal was written all over her face. "It stinks. I don't want it."

"If you don't take it, you'll become an idiot."

Harold gripped the cup tightly, his expression darkening as he spoke in a low voice.

She already had a crippled leg; if her brain stopped working too, it would be a disaster.

Then again, maybe becoming an idiot wouldn't be so bad.

If her brain were mush, she wouldn't constantly be thinking about divorce and finding her second spring.

"No."

Lorelei turned her head away, lay back down, and shut her eyes, completely resolute.

She wasn't drinking it.

Even if the fever cooked her brain, she wasn't touching it.

Seeing her act so stubborn, Harold furrowed his brows.

In his memory.

Ever since Lorelei married him, she had always been reasonable, poised, and elegant.

Her words and actions were the absolute picture of a proper lady.

He had never seen her throw a childish tantrum like this.

He had to admit.

Accustomed to her always calm and collected demeanor, seeing her like this was actually quite endearing.

His memory instantly transported him back to when they first met.

It was back in junior high.

She had sneaked away from her family and run off to the food street behind the school.

She bought a huge pile of excessively spicy barbecue.

Terrified of being caught, she practically shoveled it into her mouth.

Her cheeks were puffed out like a little chipmunk.

Unexpectedly.

She turned around and bumped right into him.

He could see the visible panic wash over her because she knew he was friends with her brother.
