Megan grew increasingly frustrated at Jake's continuous rejections. She clenched her teeth angrily as Jake wasn't appreciative of her care.
I would've dumped the pills and left if I were upset. Jake's in his twenties. Why does he need someone to persuade him to take medicine?
Megan wondered why the meeting was so important to him. She shook her head to dismiss that thought. After all, she would leave once Jake take the medicine.
Staring at the pills in her palms, she racked her brains to figure out a way so he'd take it. Suddenly, a brilliant idea occurred to her.
Megan took the glass of water, the gloom on her face all gone. She arched a brow before pouring the pills into her mouth in one go.
Since he refuses to take the pills, I shall force him to take them.
She was beaming in delight as she grabbed Jake's chin and pressed her lips to his deftly. Then, she held his throat up to force him to swallow the contents.
Her action took Jake by surprise. He sat up and coughed violently until tears rolled down his cheeks.
He stared at Megan in disbelief as his muddled brain caused him to see double. Gradually, Megan's face grew blurry.
He flopped back on the couch and used his arm to shield his eyes from the light. “I said I won't take the medicine,” he uttered weakly.
Megan ignored him and retorted icily, “You have no choice. I'm a kind person. There's no way I'll
stand by idly as you die in front of my eyes.”
Her concern was long gone after he rejected her repeatedly.
He'd rather die than take the medicine, she huffed silently.
