Chapter 199: Hypocrite

Cosette vividly remembered a conversation she had with Asher in the past. It was something about drinking. As business people, drinking was inevitable. However, Asher rarely drinks and if he does, it would only be a sip. 

Back then, Cosette teased him regarding it as they were business partners in a joint project. She wanted to have a drink with him just because she hadn't seen him drink. She was already diagnosed with multiple illnesses at that time, but Cosette lived her life the same since she didn't want to go in and out of the hospital because there was nothing she could do but prolong her suffering. 

She remembered being very stubborn that time, only for Asher to admit he used to drink a lot. He didn't state his reason for drinking, but he said there came to a point there was not a moment he was sober. And that was at a young age, he claimed. Hence, when he got sobered after an incident, he promised not to drink no matter the pressure.
