Huo Yao raised her brow. She did not expose him for the awkward excuse he had used.
She could tell that he did not mean any harm.
The bodyguard by the side took a bottle hanging from his belt and held it in front of Rocco. "Your Highness, time to take your meds."
Rocco looked at the bottle the bodyguard was holding. He frowned hard thinking about the bitter Chinese medicine inside. Since a pretty young woman was present, he simply took the bottle calmly.
He twisted open the cap, raised his head, and drank its contents in a gulp.
After he was done, the bodyguard deftly produced a piece of candy.
Rocco looked at the candy and went quiet. Only kids would eat candy after taking bitter medicine.
Rocco pressed his brow. Every atom of his body felt awkward at this moment. In the end, he calmly took the candy and turned to look at Huo Yao. "I'm not well, so I always have to take meds."
