Chapter 1227 - 1223: Be Good, Open Your Mouth

"Right now, I just want to have a child for you, just to fulfill your wish. I haven’t thought about anything else."

Luke Land felt an inexplicable surge of emotion. It turned out that everything she did was just for that ’wish’ of his.

"Silly lady." Luke Land sighed softly and reached out to tousle her hair, "You can’t force these things, let it happen naturally, okay?"

"What do you mean let it happen naturally? I must have a child for you." Eva Miller began to insist, the doctor had said he wouldn’t live past six months, so she had to try hard, there wasn’t much time left for them.

Seeing that she was truly upset, Luke Land didn’t want to discourage her further. After thinking about it, he spoke up, "Is there any of that medicine left? If there is, could you get me another bowl? I’ll drink it, okay?"

He seemed to be coaxing her.

"Yes, of course! Wait a moment, I’ll go home and get it." Back then, Eva Miller had ordered the housekeeper to brew a large pot of it.

Eva Miller quickly rushed back to the Land Family, and fetched the medicine, but unlike last time, she filled an entire thermos with it.

Luke Land truly felt a bitterness he couldn’t express.

"Prepare some sugar for me first." He only took a small sip, and the bitterness of the medicine nearly numbed his taste buds—it was as if he’d lost his sense of taste. Who knew what kind of remedy this was, and whether drinking it could be lethal?

"Alright..." Eva Miller was also affected by the unpleasant bitter smell lingering in the air. She didn’t protest, and obediently went to fetch a jar of sugar. Under Eva Miller’s expectant gaze, Luke Land finally prepared to drink it.

Eva Miller poured the medicine from the thermos into a white porcelain bowl, then carefully stirred it with a spoon.

"Come on, open up..." Eva Miller coaxed him like a child, bringing the spoon to Luke Land’s lips.

After a moment of hesitation, he slightly parted his lips.

Without giving it a second thought, Eva Miller directly fed the spoon into his mouth, along with the dark liquid.

He immediately felt his stomach turning over, and he had to force down the urge to vomit, barely swallowing that mouthful of medicine.

"How is it, does it taste good?"

"..."

Seeing he didn’t speak, yet maintained a calm expression, Eva Miller thought to herself that the medicine might be somewhat palatable.

She scooped another spoonful, "Bitter medicine is good for you, drink more, it’s good for you."

"..."

He was completely overwhelmed by the bitterness and couldn’t speak. Eva Miller couldn’t guess his thoughts and kept feeding him medicine. Watching her sweet smile, Luke Land felt like she’d slapped him, but then gave him a piece of candy.

Finally, the bowl of medicine was finished ten minutes later.

"Thanks for your hard work," Eva Miller stuck out her tongue playfully, revealing a mischievous smile. Luke Land suddenly thought, if he could see this side of her, all the medicine he drank wasn’t in vain.

Eva Miller even thoughtfully took out a tissue to wipe his mouth. He now felt as if he’d taken a trip to the underworld and back, completely exhausted.

He really wondered what kind of mysterious concoction Eva Miller had him drink.

By the middle of the night, his entire body felt hot, as if a fire was burning within.
