Chapter 101


    Zach slightly twisted his neck, tipped his head back, and then rose from the couch, hips swaying to a


    rhythm only he could hear…


    Just then, Delh and Shawn, fresh from the kitchen, were met with the sight of their son gyrating like


    he was having a fit. “Zach, what on earth are you doing?” Delh asked, utterly bewildered.


    Wasn’t Zach always the epitome of decorum? What possessed him to indulge in such unseemly


    antics? It was utterly eye–watering!


    Zach spun around, oblivious to his parents‘ expressions, his hips still swiveling as he spoke with a hint


    of excitement. “Mirabe gave me this bottle of pills, and man, the moment I took one, I felt like a


    million bucks! It’s like magic!”


    Delh’s mouth twitched. “Could you please maintain some decorum?”

    “iling about like that… is just not dignified,” Shawn added with a hint of distaste.


    Delh approached and spotted a porcin bottle on the coffee table, simr in shape to the one her


    daughter had given her, though a different color – presumably indicating a different effect.


    “Your sister’s remedies are quite miraculous indeed. My migraine of over a decade has been nearly


    cured,” Delh remarked with a sense of wonder. She’d previously never paid much attention to her


    daughter’s medication. However, after taking it herself, she felt as if she had been hit with a stark reality


    check.


    “Really? Howe I’ve never heard you mention it?” Zach hadn’t even spoken when Shawn chimed in


    with a puzzled question. All he knew was that the fragrance pills from his daughter were incredibly


    effective.


    Delh settled back into the soft embrace of the sofa. “Well, I was waiting to see if the effects would


    last before I told you.”


    Narrowing his eyes, Shawn quietly asked, “Is it really that miraculous?” He remembered his daughter


    had also given him a bottle… albeit with a somewhat ego–bruising name. Still, if it worked, he wasn’t


    opposed to giving it a try.


    “Have you heard mein about migrainestely?” Delh huffed.


    “I suppose not,” Shawn admitted, shaking his head.


    “There you go!” Delh said, spreading her hands before her gaze returned to Zach. “What’s bothering


    you, young man? You’re too young for this sort of difort.”


    Zach felt something off about his mother’sment but couldn’t quite put his finger on it, so he simply


    replied, “upational hazard.”


    Delh just nodded, her concern fading. As long as it didn’t interfere with his dating life.


    “Mira, where did you get these pills?” Zach felt more animated than ever and couldn’t help being


    curious.


    Mirabe’s eyes dropped slightly, but she maintained herposure. “I know a friend who’s into


    medicine.”


    “I see,” Zach mused for a few seconds, deciding not to pry further. “This stuff works fast. It doesn’t have


    any side effects, does it?”


    Despite the skepticism, Mirabe seemed understanding and, after a thoughtful pause, exined with


    rare patience, “The essence of alternative medicine lies in its ability to strengthen without causing


    harm. It fortifies the foundation of your body with minimal side effects. But, of course, there’s a kernel of


    truth in the saying that all medicine has its poison.”


    Zach wasn’t an expert in these matters and couldn’t grasp the essence, but he did understand the bit


    about minimal side effects. Besides, his sister would never give him something harmful. “I guess I was


    a bit ignorant,” Zach admitted, scratching his head in mild embarrassment.


    Mirabe arched an eyebrow. “It would be more concerning if you didn’t question it.”


    Zach chuckled, feeling his sister was like a treasure trove of surprises.

    Meanwhile, Shawn, who had been eavesdropping on their conversation, suddenly found his gaze


    drawn to a cab


    nearby.
