Chapter 94 Miles rolled his eyes and pouted when he realized that Cedrick was, in fact, ill. “You shouldn’t have eaten spicy food if you can’t take it. It’s not like anyone would laugh at you for that.” The only response he received was a chilling glare from Cedrick Miles curled up for a moment, before straightening his back and added, “You’re even worse than a kid. Hmph!”
Cedrick’s expression darkened as he studied how riled up Miles seemed. A person’s temperament might change due to certain events, but one’s taste would not. He was certain that Ollie could not tolerate spicy food, so what happened? Eason had informed the hospital of their arrival ahead of time, so by the time they arrived, everyone was cleared from the vicinity.
Cedrick swallowed the medicine with warm water and felt the burning sensation in his stomach subsided. He grabbed onto Miles’ collar and tossed him toward the doctor. “Check him, too.”
“I’m not sick. Why do I need to be checked?” Miles tried to get up from the chair angrily, but Cedrick held him down in place with one hand.
The boy was pinned onto the chair and could not overpower Cedrick no matter how hard he struggled. In the end, Miles glared at him in defeat.
Cedrick ignored him and soon, the doctor had completed the examination and told Cedrick in all seriousness. “The young master is very healthy. Nothing is wrong with him.” “Are you sure?” Cedrick narrowed his eagle-like eyes.
“Is…the young master feeling sick in any form?” the doctor asked gingerly.
For some reason, she was reminded of the scene where Ollie devoured all the dishes at the restaurant and realized that it had been a while since she had cooked Mexicaean food for Miles. Children’s stomachs were weaker than that of adults, and consuming too much spicy food could damage the inner layer of their stomach, which was why Catelyn had her son eat food that was more nutritious and milder in taste, even though Miles preferred spicy food. Of course, she could still cook him what he liked occasionally. With that thought in mind, Catelyn decided to reward her son by taking him to the market with her during the weekend. It was Ollie’s first time being in a place like this. It was noisy and filled with the smell of fish, but when he followed Catelyn, he looked around and listened to the sound of people shouting. He straightened his back and realized that this was the daily life of Miles and his mother.
‘This is nice,’ he thought, ‘this feels like living.’
Catelyn took her son’s hand and walked through the alley of the market. It was peak hour after work, so the market was packed with people. Scents of leaves and blood hung in the air, and because it was summer, the smell intensified under the hot weather.
