Chapter 933: Grievances and Low Fever
"Waaah!"
Melanie let out a loud wail, her eyes red and puffy. She sneaked a glance at her sister, Anna, who stood by with a guilty expression, and then sobbed, "I told you it wasn't me, but you didn't believe me. You even said I was lying... Waaah... My butt... It hurts..."
"I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of Miss Melanie," the lady-in-waiting, who was responsible for Melanie's care, apologized to Lyon, her head bowed slightly. "Miss Melanie started snoring halfway through her sleep, and there was a lot of drool on the corner of her mouth. I thought I'd wipe it for her so it wouldn't stick to her face when she woke up."
"But the water pipes in your apartment were a bit rusty. I couldn't turn the faucet, and the water in the kettle was cold. So, I took a towel and went downstairs to ask the apartment manager for some warm water, and then..."
By the time you came back with the wet towel, Anna had already started, right?
After hearing the lady-in-waiting's explanation, Lyon couldn't help but wave his hand in resignation, indicating that it wasn't her fault. After all, it was ultimately his sister's poor sleeping posture that caused the problem, and the lady-in-waiting was only trying to help.
However, he never expected that while she was gone, Anna, worried about William's condition, rushed back halfway to check on him. When she entered the room, she was greeted by the strong smell of alcohol. Melanie was sleeping soundly with a flushed face, and when she was woken up, her breath reeked of alcohol. Anna immediately started beating her.
"Waaah! It's so unfair!"
After the lady-in-waiting finished her explanation, Melanie's crying became louder as Anna's guilt deepened. Melanie sniffled and sobbed, "I was being good today. I finished my homework obediently, and I even changed the wet towel on William's head. But I still got beaten... Waaah!"
"Alright, alright, stop wailing!"
Although Melanie was indeed wronged, her crying seemed a bit exaggerated. Lyon couldn't help but smile bitterly and promise, "When Anna saw the situation, anyone would have misunderstood. So, blame it on me. It was my fault for accidentally getting you drunk. I'll increase your allowance next month, okay?"
"Waaah! My butt hurts..."
"And the month after that too!"
"My butt..."
"And the month after that!"
"It feels better, but it still hurts..."
"..."
You little greedy brat!
Seeing Melanie's focus on her buttocks as a bargaining chip for an allowance increase, Lyon narrowed his eyes slightly. Then, with a hint of mischief, he said, "What if I told you that you were going to sell out your brother for money, pour water into the school's door pivot, and ask your sister-in-law for..."
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
Just when they were having a good conversation, Lyon suddenly started flipping the table. Melanie screamed twice, covering up the most critical issue. She then twisted her little buttocks and exclaimed with delight, "It doesn't hurt anymore! Suddenly, the pain is gone!"
"Are you okay now?"
"Yes, I'm fine! Really!"
Seeing her brother's half-smiling expression and Anna's gaze shifting from guilt to suspicion, Melanie regretted raising her demands too high. She blinked and said, "Um... I think I heard some noise from the other room. William might be awake. I'll go check on him!"
"Okay, go ahead."
Lyon let Melanie off the hook, not exposing her threat to 'eat her sister-in-law's soft-boiled rice.' He reached out and stopped Anna, who wanted to follow, and said with a smile, "Never mind, you've already beaten her.
"This is different!"
After struggling a few times to no avail, Anna couldn't help but stomp her foot in frustration. "Big brother! It was a mistake, I admit! But a mistake is a mistake! I made a mistake earlier, and I can apologize and compensate her properly. But making a mistake is still making a mistake! We definitely need to educate her again!"
"Alright, alright, you're right. We must educate her!"
Understanding Anna's serious nature, Lyon didn't argue about whether they should hit her or not. Instead, he gently held her hand and said, "But she just suffered an injustice and was beaten by you for no reason. If we do it again right away, wouldn't that be too cruel? Why don't you give her some time to recover first, and then educate her when her bottom isn't sore anymore?"
"I..."
Although Anna knew that Lyon was trying to buy time until her anger subsided, she couldn't help but soften her heart a little when she thought of her sister's pitiful expression earlier. She went along with the flow and stopped in her tracks, pursing her lips. "Then wait for a couple of days... that's fine too..."
"That's the way!"
Seeing his sister calm down, Lyon also breathed a sigh of relief.
