Chapter 1272: Chapter 1244: Treating Stupidity without Sugar Chapter 1272: Chapter 1244: Treating Stupidity without Sugar Kiara was furious. How many of these unregistered fake medicines had he prepared just to trick her into falling for it?
“The top row, the blue bottles,” Yuzo Joel hinted.
Kiara took his words seriously and picked up a blue bottle to look at it. There was a cartoon label stuck on the plastic bottle and it even had a handwritten phrase on it.
Brain-damaged Pills for renal deficiency, sugar-free
Fuck…!!!
Shock after shock exploded in Kiara's mind. She was duped again. What the hell kind of medicine was this?!
“Heh heh, isn't it fun? I wrote that myself. Isn't it remarkably humorous?”
Kiara, thinking about how she had just been worried for him, was now even more infuriated by his continued antics. She grabbed the bottle and hurled it at Yuzo Joel.
“You damn Old Man! Don't you ever show your face around me again! I will never, never, never forgive you! And I refuse to acknowledge you as my Father!”
After bellowing her rage, Kiara stormed out like a fired bullet. When she got to the door, she turned around and flipped Yuzo Joel the bird, “If I ever believe your bullshit again, I might as well change my last name to yours!”
Mario Yuno was at the other end of the hallway and heard his daughter-in-law's lioness roar, raising his eyebrows in reaction.
Had their talk broken down?
Usually, his daughter-in-law spoke in a soft voice. Even when she was angry, at most she would just glare at someone to make them impatient.
How angry must she have been to yell so loudly?
Mario Yuno quickly went over, intending to comfort Kiara. Before he could reach her, he saw Kiara kick the door to the sickroom. Her childish behavior caused Mario Yuno's dismay, and it made Yuzo Joel inside the room burst into laughter.
“Kick it a few more times. When you get back, you can also write my name on a Ping Pong Ball and smash it hard. You must vent all your anger out, don't keep it inside, it's easy to develop psychological disorders. Actually, you could even stick needles in a Baby… forget it, it's easy to prick your hand.”
Yuzo Joel shouldn't have spoken, as it only fanned Kiara's fury. She pulled at her hair and yelled. Mario Yuno didn't dare breathe aloud. Kiara was about to explode with rage and after her outburst, she kicked the door a few more times before stalking off furiously, with Mario Yuno hurrying after her.
He thought how impressive it was that his Father had managed to anger Kiara so much that she lost her composure, and he was the only one who had achieved that so far.
Yuzo Joel watched Kiara leave with a chuckle, and as soon as Kiara was out of sight, he broke into a cold sweat and hurriedly took two of the “Brain-damaged Pills” from the bottle, placing them in his mouth. Edward Farmbright came in, saw him like this, and rushed to help him lie down. It took a while for the medicine to take effect, and only then did Yuzo Joel begin to recover.
“Are you filled with folly? She already believed you. You just had to say a few soft words and you would have achieved your goal. But you had to provoke her, and now you've made her so angry, and you even caused yourself to get sick. What are you trying to accomplish?” Edward Farmbright ranted, having never seen anyone court death like this.
Yuzo Joel looked out the window, from where he could see Kiara and Mario Yuno's retreating figures. He smiled faintly.
“In my life, I've deceived her so much. I ought to speak a few truths to her.”
As Yuzo Joel was thinking, his phone rang. After just two words, his face changed.
Andrew Farmstead didn't know the contents of the call, but it looked serious.
“Who was that? Hey! Old Man, what are you doing getting up? Have you forgotten your recent attack? If you don't rest, it'll kill you!” Andrew Farmstead tried to stop Yuzo Joel from changing his clothes, but he felt a numbness in his body and stared in disbelief.
“Old Man! You even drugged me?!”
“Sleep,” said Yuzo Joel as Andrew Farmstead buckled, with a needle as thin as a cow hair prick stuck in his hand where he was holding onto Yuzo Joel's arm.
Yuzo Joel dragged Andrew Farmstead onto the bed, then quickly wrote a short message explaining his future affairs, knowing that if he did not do so, his eldest Apprentice would never let him go.
Having taken care of everything, Yuzo Joel no longer hesitated and stood up to leave, his heart full of resolve.
The treasures I've already found will certainly not be handed over to others. My Kiara is meant to be cherished and pampered, and I will never let my child become a guinea pig for others to study.
Thinking of Kiara pointing at his nose and cursing him, Yuzo Joel couldn't help but smile fondly; even when cursing, his little daughter was so endearing. Would he be able to hear her call him father in person the next time he returned?
If he made it back alive, he certainly would be able to hear it, because she was always so tough-talking yet soft-hearted.
“This fellow is a mix of amoeba, dirty, despicable, shameless creatures! It's like he embodies all the shamelessness of humanity in the universe, no, even if you gave him all the disgrace of every human in the universe, it wouldn't equal half of his wickedness. Pah, spit spit spit!”
On the way back, Mario Yuno listened to Kiara inventively cursing Yuzo Joel, from Q City all the way back to Linville, and not once did she repeat a single insult, which truly opened Mario's eyes.
“Daughter-in-law, although I'd love to hear how many more words you haven't shown off, considering you've been ranting non-stop for nearly an hour, you should rest. Besides, Willa is listening too… all these words you're using aren't good for the baby's prenatal education…”
Kiara glared at him, and Mario Yuno didn't dare to speak anymore, and turned to pretend to drive seriously.
“I could rant at him for a year and not get tired! That guy's behavior is simply–”
“Outrageous!” Camden chimed in for her.
“And to think I was so worried about him, and he actually–”
“Deceived you!”
“Such behavior is–”
“Utterly shameless and brazen!”
“Did he really think he could take advantage of my feelings for him, using that–”
“To have his fun with you!”
Mario Yuno had these phrases down pat, and Kiara, probably running out of words, summed it all up in one sentence.
“Pah!”
Mario Yuno wanted to laugh, but he had to hold it in.
“Daughter-in-law, what he did was indeed sneaky, but what Rico Clark did to you before was even sneakier. Why did you not have the same fire toward Rico?”
From hiding the Admission Notice to all the other things that happened afterward, Rico Clark had been much worse than Yuzo Joel. Kiara never cursed at Rico; even mentioning his name was something she avoided, quickly glossing over it.
“Can the two of them even be compared? What is Rico Clark? Does he even deserve me to curse at him? As for that… that whoever! Even if he takes two bottles of Brain-damaged Pills, it won't cover up the fact that he's 'brain-damaged'!”
Kiara couldn't figure out why; when it came to the despicable things Rico did, she wouldn't curse, only wanting to retaliate with actions. As for that whoever who tricked and played her, she just wanted to curse fiercely.
“So you see, there's a difference in closeness, which can be discerned right from this. No wonder you always like to get physically close with me, the expectation for those close to us always exceeds that for strangers–something you explained to me before.”
Kiara was rendered speechless by his retort; from now on, she hated explanations!
“Anyway, I don't want to deal with him anymore, he's nothing but a big liar!”
“Yeah, right, forget about him.”
Mario Yuno was now indulging Kiara, as long as it made her happy.
After Kiara got back, she really did take a Ping Pong Ball, wrote Yuzo Joel's name on it, and started throwing it around; after smashing it for a while, the fire in her heart gradually subsided. One afternoon, as Kiara was at home playing by smashing the Ping Pong Ball, Edward Farmbright 'Farmbright Farmer' came over.
