Medicines are bitter, and there's nothing Basil Jaak can do about it now. He doesn't have any sugar on him either!
Jaak thought for a moment, then took a sip from the "medicine" bottle. It was incredibly bitter, not something a person would willingly drink. But Jaak grimaced, kept it in his mouth, then gently lifted Fenny Marshall and leaned over to her lips.
No need to explain what happened next; everyone knows what's up!
Using this method, Jaak finally managed to get half the bottle of medicine into Fenny's mouth. He then gently laid her back on the boat, covered her with a blanket, and got up to clean up the mess.
It wasn't until evening that Jaak woke Fenny again to feed her the rest of the medicine in the same way, finally feeling relieved.
By night time, the fever-reducing medicine finally started to take effect.
