“Charlie, I better not drink it. I’m still young and it’s too wasteful for me to drink.”
Charlie slapped his face and said seriously: “If you don’t drink, then I will throw it away.”
After that, he reached out and picked up one of the cups of water, pretending to pour it on the ground.
Sara was startled, afraid that he would really throw away such a valuable thing, so she subconsciously said:
“Don’t throw, don’t! Charlie, can’t I drink it?”
He handed the water glass to her and ordered: “Then stop talking nonsense and drink it now.”
Sara nodded, took the glass of water from him with both hands, looked at him affectionately, and said emotionally, “Thank you, Charlie!”
He rubbed his temples and gave a bitter smile.
Philip on the side also realized that being too polite might make Charlie feel alienated, so he also took the last glass of water and said to Sara:
“Sara, this is Charlie’s kindness to us, let’s talk about it. , We are all a family, don’t let him think that we are too far apart.”
Sara nodded lightly and whispered: “Dad, I know…”
Philip smiled and said, “Come on, Dad will make a toast with you. Let’s drink together!”
Sara hurriedly lifted the water cup, toasted with Philip’s cup, then plucked up courage and drank it.
Philip had already experienced the feeling of going back in time, so when he experienced this feeling again this time, although his heart was excited, he was not surprised.
However, Sara was surprised and speechless.
Because, she really didn’t expect that after drinking this glass of water, her body would undergo such a miraculous change.
The whole person’s feeling is really like returning to when she was eighteen years old.
She couldn’t help closing her eyes, carefully feeling every change that happened in her body, and thought to herself:
“If I hadn’t known the magical effect of this glass of water for a long time, even if someone told me that I traveled back to six or seven years back, I would definitely no doubt…”
