Revenge Of The Cannon Fodder Villainess

Chapter 75 - Medicine

After she quickly showered and changed into a comfy sweater and shorts, Valentina slowly made her way down the stairs. She could smell the delicious scent of fried chicken and her stomach began to rumble.

Luca and Kaiser were both seated in the living room and when Luca saw her, he immediately ran over and threw himself at her.

She immediately picked him up, hugging him tightly as he wrapped his arms around her neck.

"Hi, my little nugget. How are you doing?" she gently stroked his back as he snuggled into her body.

He didn't say anything, just shook his head and held her tighter. She saw Kaiser getting up and open his mouth and she quickly shook her head at him.

Disregarding her head shake, Kaiser continued to say what he wanted to.

"Is this how you treat a sick person Luca? Get down." He calmly ordered causing Luca to flinch.

Although her arms were shaking from holding Luca, she shot a glare at him before whispering to Luca.

"Just ignore him. He's jealous of you. Shall we ignore him and go eat some food? There's some delicious fried chicken."

Feeling him nod, she completely ignored Kaiser and walked to the dining room. On the table, there was a spread of food plated nicely. She could see her soy garlic chicken, spicy chicken, and side dishes beautifully arranged and her stomach made its presence known once more.

After setting Luca down on his seat, she made him a plate with a little of everything before making her own.

As she bit into the juicy crispy chicken, the crunch audible, she couldn't help but sigh happily. This was life. All she needed was a cold beer to wash it down. As she was thinking that, a large cup of questionable liquid plopped down next to her.

Seeing the 32-ounce cup of questionable green and black liquid with a pungent smell, she glanced up at Kaiser who took a seat across from her. In his hands were her beloved cold Guinness and he gave her a satisfied smile.

"You want this?" Kaiser asked as he lightly shook the bottle.

"Yes." Valentina quickly nodded her head. Her mouth was starting to burn up and she wanted something cold to wash it down.

"You can have it once you finish that." he nodded to the cup placed next to her plate.

"And what is this? It looks like poison."

"I believe it's called Super Health Juice Max. Carefully curated by the best doctors to help you feel better. Drink it."

Valentina immediately shook her head. No way! From the way it smelled, if she drank this, she would directly ascend to the next life. No beer was worth drinking that poison, she would just drink water instead.

"No thank you," Valentina replied as politely as she could as she pushed it away.

Kaiser gave her a devilish smirk before turning to Luca and speaking gently.

"Luca. You saw the doctor came by to drop this off right? He said that your Auntie Val needs to drink this to feel better and not be sick anymore. It's her medicine. Can you convince her to drink it?"

Luca looked between her and Kaiser before putting down his chicken. His eyes softly watered up as he stared up at her.

"Auntie Val. Even if it's bitter you have to drink your medicine to get well. When I'm sick I have to do it too."

Seeing his sad eyes, although Valentina was cursing Kaiser out in her head, she gently smiled at Luca.

"I'm feeling all better Luca, see. I'm nice and strong again." She flexed her invisible muscles in hopes that the child would believe her. Unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be.
