“Ok, ok! It’s my fault.” Chester did not know whether he should laugh or cry, so he laughed and nodded.
“That’s more like it.” Dax let out a smile, walked over, and lightly punched Chester’s shoulder before magically fished out two bottles of white wine. “ Here you go, Chester. Drink up.”
“Haha! You cheeky b*stard! Wanting to compete with me on drinking I’m weak!” Chester wobbly stood up. “Yes, yes, yes! I’m not your elder brother if I don’t make you drink till you drop! ”
“Wow, you’re one to boast! Let’s drink! ” Dax took two small chairs over before fishing out a can of peanuts and some snacks from his pocket.
Chester opened the wine bottle and was about to drink when Shelly quickly approached them before snatching the bottle away from Chester.
“Are you out of your mind? You cannot drink it!” Shelly stomped her feet.
She had been in the medical field for years and this was the first time she saw someone with a dozen stab wounds still wanting to consume alcohol. Unacceptable!
After Dax sized up Shelly for a moment, he tentatively asked, “Is this…my new sister-in-law?”
Shelly was not wearing her usual doctor’s coat, but a short skirt and shirt.
“I-I’m not your sister-in-law.” She had butterflies in her stomach and immediately blushed upon hearing Dax’s question.
Chester became awkward as well as he rebuked Dax, “B*stard, don’t talk nonsense! She’s Shelly, the Chief of Staff here. Bloody hell! You should wash your filthy mouth! ”
“Uh” Dax embarrassingly laughed and scratched his head before saying, “Dr. Shelly, can you pass the wine to Chester? He’s so tough that a little alcohol won’t harm him.”
He was right as Chester was already a Martial Saint. These injuries which might seem serious won’t be harmful to him and should heal in two days.
Shelly firmly said, “No, Chester can’t drink for now. I-I’ll even drink together with him when he gets better, but not now.”
Shelly then also confiscated Dax’s wine bottle and quickly left the patient ward.
“My, my Chester. Sister-in-law sure cares a lot about you.” Dax giggled.
Shelly—who was already by the door, overheard Dax and blushed even further.
On the wide road at the Great East, a horse carriage was traveling at leisure speed. Darryl and Jewel were chatting and joking inside the carriage.
They were initially driving a car, but it ran out of petrol not long after, hence Darryl immediately hailed a horse carriage. The two of them admired the passing scenery and Jewel would sing for Darryl when they grew bored. The entire journey was pleasant.
