More Or Less

Seeing Raelle holding a black color pill, Shui Xian paused, "Baby, what is that?"

"A pill," answered Raelle.

Shui Xian pursed his lips, "I can see that much. What I mean is, what you're doing with it?"

Raelle threw the pill into her mouth and bit into it saying, "Eating it."

Shui Xian rubbed his forehead. His wife's answers were always... interesting. 

"It's Chinese medicine, isn't it?" he asked and saw her nodding her head. "Isn't it bitter? You're supposed to take it with water."

"No, I was told I can treat it like candy," said Raelle.

"Who said it?"

"The person who gave it."

"Who gave it?"

"About that..." Raelle had to tell him in detail about where this pill came from and as expected, his face changed color when he heard that she needed these pills to recover. It meant she wasn't doing well. 

"Should we go back to the hospital for another examination?" asked Shui Xian.
