In the room, Martha looked down at the bitter medicine in her hand.
Before she even started to carry out her plan, Jimmy came.
Did she have to take the medicine today?
Seeing that his mommy kept silent for some time, Jimmy opened his eyes wide and looked at hismommy suspiciously.
"Mommy, what's the matter?"
"No... nothing."
Martha returned to her senses, staring at the medicine in her hand with a bitter face.
In her eyes, the medicine in her hand was no different from poison.
The point is, she had bitten the bullet to take the medicine once yesterday in order to implementtoday's plan.
After thinking about it, she still didn't want to just give up today's plan.
Martha turned her head and looked at her child with a smile, her tone was very gentle and even alittle pleading.
"Jimmy, the medicine is too bitter, can you go down and get a candy for Mommy?"
Jimmy blinked and pointed to a candy covered in a colorful wrapper on the desk.novelbin
"Mommy, isn't there a candy there?"
Martha froze when she saw the candy on the desk, and the smile on Jimmy's face became moregentle when she looked up at Jimmy.
"I've eaten this kind of candy before, but I don't like its taste."
Jimmy pursed his lips, secretly thinking, "In order not to take medicine, Mommy even gives such alame excuse. Last time Daddy bought all the candies in the city to make Mommy take medicine.
"But Daddy doesn't know what kind of candy Mommy likes to eat, so every time, he gives Mommydifferent candies.
"Therefore, Mommy must be lying to him by saying that she has eaten this candy."
Fortunately, when he took on the task given by Daddy, he was already prepared.
Jimmy took out a handful of different candies from his pocket and looked at his mommy with asmile.
"Mommy, how about these candies?"
Martha was stunned for a moment, looking at Jimmy standing in front of her in shock.
She wanted to send Jimmy away and secretly took the medicine to the bathroom to throw it away.
She never expected that her son would come to her with a pocket of candies...
Seeing Mommy staring blankly at the candies in his hand, Jimmy blinked, and his soft voicesounded again in the room, "Mommy, don't you like these candies?"
Martha forced a smile and tried to soften her tone.
"Well, can Jimmy go down and find some other candies?"
"I still have some here!"
Jimmy smiled and pointed to his other pocket, and took out many different candies from it.
He put all the candies in his pocket on the table, raised a big smile and looked at his mommy.
"Mommy, look at these candies, do you like any of them?"
Martha looked at the pile of candies in front of her with complicated emotions.
She realized she had to think of other ways to send Jimmy away now.
She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.
Looking at the smiling child in front of her, she thought for a moment, then turned around andwalked to the table, put down the medicine, and squatted in front of Jimmy.
"Jimmy, the doctor said that Mommy has recovered, do you know about that?"
Jimmy shook his head and looked at Mommy suspiciously.
Jimmy's adorable appearance made Martha's heart soften, and she continued, "Mommy hasrecovered. The medicine now is used to strengthen my body. So, actually, I can skip this one."
"But why did the doctor prescribe the medicine for you if you don't have to take it?"
After Jimmy said that, he just looked at his mother with a puzzled expression.
"And why did Daddy bring it up for Mommy to take?"
Martha choked on Jimmy's question and quickly found lame excuses.
"That's because your daddy was worried about me, so he asked the doctor to prescribe medicine.But I know my body well, and I don't need to take medicine anymore."
Jimmy paused for a moment, and after a long time, he pretended to be enlightened.
"Mommy, you think you are fine?"
"Yes," Martha answered affirmatively, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Just when she was thinking about what to say to get Jimmy to allow her to throw away the medicinesecretly without telling Stefan, Jimmy's happy voice said, "Mommy, does that mean that you don'tneed to take this bitter medicine anymore?"
"Yes, that's what Mommy meant."
A happy smile finally appeared on Martha's lips, and she was even more proud that she had givenbirth to a smart child.
The next second, Jimmy's happier voice sounded, "Mommy, next time when I'm sick, as long as Ithink I'm okay, I don't need to take medicine either?"
"No." When Martha heard that, she immediately and seriously denied Jimmy's question.
Jimmy frowned, puzzled.
"But, Mommy just meant it."
"I..."
Martha opened her mouth, wanting to explain, but found that she couldn't explain at all.
That was what she meant just now, but Jimmy...
Martha froze, took a deep breath, and continued to explain patiently.
"Jimmy, you are still a child and have to listen to the doctor."
Jimmy tilted his head and looked at the woman in front of him.
"But the teacher said that parents should lead by example. I only wanted to learn from Mommy afterseeing what Mommy did."
Martha's inner struggle dissipated at that moment.
Resigned to her fate, she turned to look at bitter medicine on the table, and let out a long sigh.
It seemed that Jimmy was here, and she was destined to drink that medicine.
She was Jimmy's mother, and she must set a good example for the child and make him an uprightperson.
She clenched he hand, and turned to look at Jimmy solemnly.
"What I said just now is wrong. Jimmy is right. There is a reason for the doctor to prescribemedicine for me. I should listen to the doctor's advicet, so that I can get better as soon as possible."
"Mommy, you're right!"
Jimmy smiled and touched his mommy's cheek, the slyness in his eyes flashed.
He turned around and took a candy on the table, tore open the candy wrapper, and held it in front ofhis mommy.
"Mommy, I'm ready. As soon as you finish the medicine, I will put the candy in your mouth withoutmaking you feel bitter."
"Jimmy is so sweet."
Martha praised Jimmy with a wry smile on his face, and then, she bit the bullet to take the medicineon the table, and gulp it down.
In the next second, she clearly felt the corner of her clothes being pulled by Jimmy.
She squatted down slightly, closed her eyes, and opened her mouth slightly.
Soon, a strawberry-flavored candy was thrown into her mouth by Jimmy, overpowering the bittertaste of medicine in her mouth in no time.
Jimmy held his mommy's cheek very seriously, and gently kissed her.
"Mommy, don't be afraid, Jimmy is with you."
Martha opened her eyes and hugged Jimmy, feeling sad and thought-
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have to take such a bitter medicine."
