Chapitre 190: Disappointment

"Enough!"

Nana Esther's high-pitched voice reverberated in the room causing a sudden chill to pierce the tense atmosphere. She stood up from her seat and wagged a finger at everyone.

"Stop this ugly drama, it is not entertaining!"

Everyone in Rex's room instantly stopped what they were doing and gawked in Nana Esther's direction. Everyone, except Maxwell and Rex.

Maxwell focused his attention on trying to revive Rex. He knew his mum was capable of handling Rex's family. Hence, he ignored everyone to attend to his brother.

He quickly picked up the teacup on the tray; which Ella had earlier served and lifted it to Rex's quivering lips.

"Take a sip, Rex, it will help with the cough."

Although Rex didn't want his family to see him being spoon-fed, he knew better than not drinking the tea would result in something far worse. Hence, he swallowed his pride and took gentle sips, while clearing his throat loudly.
