Chapter 150 Pediatric Digestive Tablets
Charlotte had never eaten crayfish before, and she had no idea how to deal with it. Michael noticed the band-aid on her finger and taught her how to use scissors to open the crayfish. Charlotte tried one with a spicy flavor, and her ears immediately turned red from the spiciness. However, she found it incredibly delicious. The spicier, the tastier, and she couldn't stop eating.
However, she could only eat a small amount of food, and in the end, Michael finished most of the crayfish.
After paying the bill, Charlotte felt a bit full. Worried that she might overeat, Michael rushed to the pharmacy to buy her digestive tablets. Charlotte had no choice but to stand on the roadside and wait for him.
Suddenly, someone slapped her on the back, and when she turned around in confusion, the person hesitated for a moment, coughed, and explained, "I'm sorry, I mistook you for someone else."
Feeling speechless, Charlotte replied, "No, Mr. Ryker, you didn't mistake me. I'm Charlotte."
Declan was taken aback, looking at her as if he had seen a ghost. He asked, "You? Charlotte?"
Feeling puzzled, Charlotte nodded and asked, "Why are you here?"
Declan probably thought he was dreaming, so he pinched her face. Feeling it soft and tender, he pinched again, took a few steps back, and looked at her, saying, "I'm here to have fun. By the way, your appearance last time, were you deliberately trying to disgust me?"
Charlotte had no idea how to explain that.
Luckily, Declan quickly accepted that and didn't dwell on the issue. Instead, he asked, "Are you here alone?"
Charlotte shook her head and looked in the direction of the pharmacy from which Michael had just come out.
"Declan?" Michael raised his eyebrow and looked at Charlotte, then back at Declan, asking, "Do you two know each other?"
Charlotte said, "I once treated his sister."
"You're a medical student?" Michael handed her the medicine and said, "Take it."
Charlotte took it over and looked at the box labeled "Pediatric Digestive Tablets".
Charlotte was speechless. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
This medicine wouldn't work for adults.
Charlotte sighed, but she still took two tablets and ate them since they tasted good like candy.
Declan curiously asked, "What's wrong with her?"
Michael responded, "She ate too much."
Charlotte was awkward.
Declan teased her, "You ignored my message on WhatsApp and thought your dog was more important than me. Now you're getting karma!"
Charlotte replied, "Even though I'm suffering, I still think my dog is more important than you."
Declan was discouraged.
It probably meant that people were inferior to dogs.
Declan tilted his head and suggested, "There's an amusement arcade over there, let's go and play together?"
Charlotte, who had never been to an arcade, curiously agreed.
Michael looked at the time, and it was only 7:40 PM. So he agreed as well.
The amusement arcade was crowded, and the three of them with their good looks attracted a lot of attention. However, Charlotte's attention was completely drawn to a row of claw cranes at the entrance.
Seeing Charlotte's interest in the claw machines, Declan who wanted to beat her in other games was speechless. Was he supposed to compete with her on how many fluffy toys they could catch?
Charlotte, being a good girl, just watched and didn't suggest playing. Michael exchanged some game coins and generously handed a small basket to her, saying, "If you need more, I'll get some for you again."
Declan pulled Charlotte over and asked, "How about competing in the racing game?"
Charlotte had never played before and asked, "What are the rules?"
Declan inserted a coin and said, "Just the standard rules. Whoever drives faster wins."
He sat in the car and continued, "Just control the steering wheel, and if you crash into other cars, you lose."
Charlotte nodded and said, "Car accidents are quite normal." She inserted a coin as he did. Michael quickly said, "I'm in too! I'm a top-tier racer!"
The three of them were ready, and the race began.
Charlotte had never driven a car before, so she couldn't even distinguish between the brake and the accelerator pedal. She was quickly out. However, it was even more surprising that Michael, the road killer in real life, turned out to be a complete novice in the game, with a record of zero wins and five losses.
Declan won without any suspense. Charlotte furrowed her brows and inserted another coin, saying, "Let's have another round."
"Okay." Declan confidently thought he was already best in the racing game and didn't back down. His flamboyant red hair looked a little dark under the blue and purple lights of the arcade, and he wore a confident smile on his face.
Charlotte grasped the basic rules and didn't have any more car crashes. Declan initially played casually, but as he saw Charlotte catching up, he became more serious. However, Charlotte's talent in gaming was simply terrifying. No matter what game she played, she could easily win when she played it again. Declan began to doubt his life when she effortlessly drifted past him on a sharp turn and crossed the finish line first.
Declan cursed in his heart.
Charlotte pinched her own fingers and said in a tone reminiscent of a top student talking to a low- performing student, "This is pretty easy."
Declan, who struggled to pass the exams every time, made no response.
Well, genius must be 99% talent and 1% hard work.
He even thought about the chance of beating her in playing claw machines.
...
"Check out that girl, isn't she hot?"
Warren took a drag of his cigarette and blew out the smoke. Not very interested, he simply asked, "Where?"
One of his gang members was practically drooling and pointed in a direction, saying, "Over there! The one playing the racing game!"
Warren looked over and was amazed, saying, "Damn."
She was a real beauty.
The underling smirked, "Shall we go and say hi to the pretty lady?"
Warren was about to get up when a woman walked over while swaying her hips, and asked him with a smile, "Warren, which girl are you interested in?"
Her tone sounded casual, but her eyes were intimidating.
Jennifer Hector used to work as a bar girl in a nearby KTV and finally had Warren's protection. She clawed her way out of her previous lowly status so if someone dared to snatch her man now, she would fight back ruthlessly.
Warren was a local gangster who collected protection fees and had a bunch of ruffians under his command. Though he dropped out of elementary school, he was good at fighting, and with this gang of hooligans, they ruled this area with an iron fist. Everyone addressed him as Warren to his face, but behind his back, they called him rogue.
Jennifer didn't like Warren, but she had no choice. He was the most powerful man she could access right now, and she had to hold on tightly to him to continue climbing higher. They had only been together for a couple of days, and now Warren was into another woman. Jennifer had to be on her guard.
