Little Fish, feeling the sting of pain, turned its head with its jaws wide open, ready to strike. But when it saw
Charmaine, its demeanor completely changed. With a flick of its tail, it scurried away to a corner behind Emyr,
opening its mouth to pant nervously.
It was clearly scared and muttering silent curses in its own way.
Emyr’s eyelid twitched at the sight. He turned his gaze to Charmaine, who stood there awkwardly. “Is this how
you usually take care of my pet?”
Charmaine scratched her cheek, feigning innocence. “It was an accident! Maybe it just doesn’t like me?”
Emyr scoffed. “Doesn't like you? That's putting it lightly.”
Charmaine thought for a moment and revised her statement. “Alright, maybe it really hates me?”
Emyr didn’t hold back. “Judging by its reaction, I'd say it hates you with a passion.”
Charmaine puffed her cheeks in protest. “Stop exaggerating!”
Emyr responded with a cold chuckle. “Heh.”
Freya White, who had been standing by silently, watched the exchange between Eymr and a maid with growing
disbelief.
She had known Emyr for over a decade, yet this was the first tshe'd seen him acting like this. Despite his

Her gaze shifted to Charmaine, who, without makeup or effort, radiated a natural charm. Freya's instincts flared
with a warning.
“How dare a mere servant talk back to her employer?” Freya's tone was sharp, and her posture exuded authority.
She turned to Alfred and ordered imperiously, “Get rid of her immediately. Someone like her has no place near
Emyr!”
Her words were laced with contempt as she glared at Charmaine. But instead of complying, Alfred approached
Freya with an air of cool detachment.
“Dr. White, you're only a guest here. Perhaps you're overstepping.”
Freya was stunned by the butler’s audacious tone. Charmaine, meanwhile, couldn't help but stifle a laugh.
Freya's shock quickly turned to fury, especially when Charmaine’s laughter hit her ears.
She quickly complained to Emyr pitifully, “Emyr, | was only trying to help discipline your staff. How is that
wrong?”
Emyr ignored her and picked up a plump fish treat before skillfully tossing it toward the sulking crocodile
in the corner.
Emyr watched the creature snap up the offering in one gulp and replied, “Your help isn’t needed here.”

“You-!"
Seeing that Emyr wasn’t on her side, Freya's perfectly made-up face twisted in anger.

Emyr then turned to Charmaine, his voice light but commanding, “You should greet our guest properly?
Alfred’s expression softened with a fond smile,
Mr. Emyr was like a parent nudging a child to be polite.
Charmaine pursed her lips but complied with a perfunctory, “Hello, Dr. White.
Freya sniffed arrogantly, deciding not to stoop to the level of a mere servant.
She refocused her attention on Emyr and persuaded, “Emyr, the medication | prepared for you last month
seemed effective. Remember how you got through the power outage without any painkillers? If you continue
taking it, I'm confident your episodes will improve.”
Emyr glanced at her briefly, then turned his attention to Charmaine.
“What do you think?”

Charmaine blinked in surprise.
What do | think?
| couldn’t very well blurt out that Freya was full of herself.
After a brief pause, she stepped forward. “Dr. White, could | take a look at the medication you prepared?”
Freya's expression darkened. “Don’t you dare touch my things. What qualifies you to-
Before she could finish, Emyr handed Charmaine the small bottle sitting beside him.
Freya was left speechless, her frustration palpable.
Charmaine examined the bottle and pulled out a tiny white pill. She pressed it between her fingers, and it
crumbled into powder with minimal effort.
Freya shrieked. “Do you have any idea how much those pills cost? One of those is worth more than your monthly
salary!”
Charmaine ignored her and inspected the residue. “The main ingredients are methylcobalamin and vitamin B12,
commonly used for treating nerve inflammation. But given Mr. Emyr’s condition, these won't have much of an
effect. The other ingredients are Eucommia bark, cornus, and ... deer placenta?”
She then eyed Emyr meaningfully and smiled. “Mr. Emyr isn’t weak. Why did you include stuff to boost his libido
in the formula?”
Emyr’s expression darkened instantly.
The temperature in the room seemed to plummet, leaving everyone in an uncomfortable silence.
