Adrian grabbed her hand, stared into her eyes, and asked, "Life or money?"
"Adrian, I've just got a cold."
Adrian's serious expression made Sienna Johnson almost suspect she had a terminal illness when in fact, she just had a cold.
"Doctor says you're overworked, need rest. Since the doctor said so, just obediently lie in the hospital."
Seeing Sienna Johnson was about to speak, Adrian continued, "Think of the time when you made me drink those traditional medicines, more bitter than gall, what you said."
"Alright."
Curly interjected, "So, when can I go to school?"
"You can go to school tomorrow."
Curly just had a stomach upset, no major issue at all. Since she wanted to go to school so much, let her go then.
"Hooray!" Curly cheered.
...
The next day, Curly's illness had completely cleared, she happily went from the hospital directly to school, but Sienna Johnson wasn't so lucky.
A disease comes like a landslide but goes like silk being drawn.
