When The Silver Bell Of Charlotte's Pharmacy Rings (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 123
Dolpher James had a face that looked far older than his age, but his body—tempered by years of hard labor—was still firm and strong.
“Is this really Kanquessa?”
Dolpher asked again, clearly skeptical, though he couldn’t quite stop the corners of his mouth from curling upward. His trembling fingertips barely dared to touch it, as if he’d just acquired some priceless treasure.
“How many times are you going to repeat the exact same thing? Did you forget to take the cotton out of your ears when they discharged you from the hospital?”
Lina’s attitude toward her father was thoroughly sullen and disrespectful. Yet Dolpher James either didn’t care because he was used to it, or because his mind was entirely consumed by the Kanquessa.
“But why are you giving this to me? You kept refusing to hand it over just moments ago.”
Dolpher shot Lina a suspicious glance, as though he were looking not at his daughter but at a debtor who’d welched on a loan.
‘Like father, like daughter. Or perhaps it’s precisely because her father is this kind of man that she turned out so twisted? I wonder if she’s even on such terms with Junior.’
Charlotte thought to herself. Lina completely ignored Dolpher James’s question and simply jerked her chin toward Charlotte and Matiel.
“These people have a request for you, Father. Just listen to them for once.”
“What? Ah, so that’s how it is! I thought my grown daughter had finally matured enough to consider her old man—but turns out you’ve got something you need from me, huh?”
“If you know you’re old, then maybe loosen up that twisted, stubborn mind of yours. You really are unbearably irritating for an old man.”
“What’s that supposed to mean! How dare you speak to your father like that!”
As the bickering between father and daughter showed signs of dragging on, Charlotte quickly fetched the tool set and handed it to Matiel. Dolpher James instantly erupted in fury as though someone had stolen his belongings.
“What nonsense is this! Give it back at once!”
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
