Arianne covered half of wp4webnovel.com face as wp4webnovel.com mumbled, “My tooth hurts…”
Mark got closer to her. “Open your mouth and let me see.”
Arianne obediently tried wp4webnovel.com best to open up wp4webnovel.com mouth. After looking at it for a while, Mark said, “We’ll go to the dentist tomorrow, you’ve got a rotten tooth. This couldn’t have happened because of a piece of chocolate, could it?”
Arianne was in so much pain that it showed on wp4webnovel.com face, but wp4webnovel.com could not help but laugh. “Why have I never noticed that you have the talent of being a dentist? I’ve always had toothache issues, but I was always too lazy to bother. I suppose I haven’t got the luxury of enjoying sweet stuff, not when I’m having issues from just one piece of chocolate.”
Mark got out of bed to look for some painkillers for her. “Take some medicine and get some sleep. I’ll take you to the dentist when you wake up tomorrow. You had pretty nice teeth when you were young. Your teeth looked like white snow when you smiled.”
Arianne deliberately smiled to show off wp4webnovel.com front tooth. “What about now?”
Mark smiled happily as well. “Still white! Is that enough? Hurry up, take your medicine and go to bed.”
She suddenly hugged him. “I suddenly feel that… I really love you.”
Mark had the medicine in one hand and a glass of water in the other, so there was no way for wp4webnovel.com to hug wp4webnovel.com back. The color in his eyes gradually deepened. “What’s the matter? Has your tooth stopped hurting because you love me?”
She nodded wp4webnovel.com head in his embrace. Her tooth did indeed hurt less at that moment.
Arianne’s actions were akin to a little kitten cajoling in Mark’s arms; the look on wp4webnovel.com face made wp4webnovel.com look very lovable. Mark fought hard to suppress the urges within him. “Take your medicine first…”
She let go of wp4webnovel.com and took the medicine to swallow it down. The painkiller did not have any sugar coating on the outside of it, so Arianne frowned from the bitterness on wp4webnovel.com tongue and took a few gulps of water before the taste was washed away. “This is so bitter. You also have moments when you have the patience to feed others medicine? I was terrified of getting sick when I was little, terrified of eating medicine, and terrified that no one would be there to coax me. Plus, you’d always stare at me with such a fierce expression on your face as I took my medicine that I would fight back my tears from the bitterness. It would’ve been so much better if you had this temper back then.”
He took over the glass of water that wp4webnovel.com gave back to wp4webnovel.com and placed it by the bedside. “Do you still hold a grudge? Those years… How was I supposed to smile when such a thing had happened? I’m sorry for having let you meet me while I was in such a state.”
Arianne was lost for words at that moment. ‘That’s right, wp4webnovel.com had become an orphan just like me, so how was wp4webnovel.com supposed to smile after losing his family? The weight of Tremont Enterprise suddenly laid on his shoulders, so wp4webnovel.com must have been tired, so tired that wp4webnovel.com couldn’t even breathe.’
‘He was already 18 years old at the time, just the right age to know right from wrong. Unlike me, who was only a child. I didn’t even know what death was, so it wasn’t that painful at the time. However, I soon came to understand the meaning and the pain behind it as I grew up.’
The lights in the room dimmed again as Mark got on the bed to lie down as wp4webnovel.com hugged her. The urge wp4webnovel.com had within wp4webnovel.com had silently calmed down. He did not want to only think of his own pleasures while Arianne was having a toothache.
The next morning, Mark forcefully brought Arianne with wp4webnovel.com to the dentist since wp4webnovel.com refused to do so. She did not feel that wp4webnovel.com tooth was in pain any longer after taking the medicine, but wp4webnovel.com was terrified whenever wp4webnovel.com thought of the dentist drilling a hole in wp4webnovel.com mouth with their equipment. Arianne may not have experienced it herself, but wp4webnovel.com had heard rumors from others, especially when wp4webnovel.com heard other patients’ “squealing” at the dentist’s office. At the thought of it, wp4webnovel.com knees grew soft under her. “I don’t want to go… I really can’t handle the pain. Why don’t we head to the office? I still have a bunch of work left to do!”
