Personal Interests

Alan called the Hartanto family to report that Chris's condition was stable. Then he took a glass of water from the bedside table and handed it to Chris.

"Drink something. I'm sure your throat must be dry," Alan said softly, like a good cousin.

He had good intentions, but as soon as he held out the cup of water with the straw, Chris turned his head and turned his face away. At the same time, Chris swept Merry's eyes, as if to say, 'Let Merry give me a drink!'

At that moment, Alan nearly poured the water in the glass over Chris's face. What an ungrateful cousin!

Of course, since Chris was still the patient here, Alan struggled to contain himself. He turned around and put the cup of water in Merry's hand.

Unfortunately, Merry was still in a daze. She accepted the cup filled with water and failed to understand what Alan meant. Merry actually looked at Chris' cousin gratefully.
