When The Silver Bell Of Charlotte's Pharmacy Rings (Completed Main Story) - Side Story 17
The plan to pass the apothecary on to Amelia had been entrusted to Tae Mi, but Charlotte still had one more matter weighing on her mind.
‘A little sibling, huh…’
After carrying Joseph, who had fallen asleep face-down from crying, to his bed, Charlotte sighed softly as she smoothed his tousled hair.
Though she’d promised Amelia to keep it a secret, she couldn’t overlook Joseph’s actions.
When Charlotte took out the medicine bottle, Joseph’s face turned deathly pale—as if he himself knew he’d done something wrong—even though he remained stubbornly silent.
〈Joseph, you must never do something like this. Making medicine just to get what you want is absolutely unacceptable, no matter how noble your intention might seem.〉
〈But still…〉
〈No, Joseph. There’s no “but still.” Even if you genuinely want to heal someone, you must ask them first. Never do it secretly. As punishment, you’re forbidden from gathering herbs for a whole month. I’ll make sure to inform Father as well.〉
〈I’m sorry…〉
Though she felt pity seeing him sob about wanting a younger sibling, Charlotte deliberately refrained from consoling him until he stopped crying on his own.
〈A sibling isn’t a doll or a toy. Just because you want one doesn’t mean Mother can simply have another child. That’s her decision alone. Do you understand?〉
Though the matter was settled, seeing him asleep with tear-streaks on his cheeks left Charlotte with a tangled heart.
‘He had been pestering me about wanting a sibling for a while, but I thought he’d grown out of it lately—goodness. He went so far as to concoct something like that. Judging by how incomplete it was, it probably wouldn’t have worked anyway.’
I was careless, Charlotte thought. She never made a fuss over Joseph’s prodigious talent, yet she’d silently assumed he’d naturally know better without needing to be explicitly taught.
‘There’s a mountain of things I’ll need to explain to him from now on.’

Wow that’s grotesque. I didn’t think this novel was going to be so gorey
To be honest, Tae Mi is my favorite character in this novel.
