Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 1164

Lina smiled and asked, "Can you count the number of pillars in the model?"

Linda was taken aback, but she decided to take the task seriously and started counting. However, the tiny size of the pillars on the model made it difficult to count them accurately.

"55, 56, 57..."

Finally, after some time, Linda showed a relaxed smile and confidently said, "There are 82 pillars, right?"

"Correct! But that's only a part of the palace. The real palace has even more pillars," Lina said, pursing her lips. She then asked, "Now, can you count how many windows there are?" Linda looked troubled, as numbers had always made her nervous. She tried to negotiate with her daughter, saying, "Can we... not count anymore? I'll get a headache if we continue!" Lina smiled and replied, "No can do. But you did a great job just now, so I'll give you the promised reward!"

Linda was stunned when she saw Lina taking out a small cookie and motioning for her to open her mouth. Like a child, Linda obediently opened her mouth and Lina quickly popped the cookie inside. The cookie's sweetness melted in her mouth, and Linda was initially happy. However, she soon realized that there was something else in the cookie...

"Pammy, you..."

Thankfully, Linda quickly fetched a glass of warm water and had Linda take two sips.

Linda felt a lump in her throat, realizing that the pill was hidden inside the cookie and she had unknowingly taken it.

"I know you may feel uncomfortable taking the medicine," Lina said, holding Linda's hands. "But you have to listen to the doctor and take the medicine if you want to get better faster!"

Linda looked at her daughter for a moment, her eyes reflecting a mix of complex emotions, before she nodded firmly.

Usually, the side effects of the medicine were terrible for her. However, this time, she felt nothing even after a long while.

Usually, when she looked at the sky, it seemed gray and dull. But today, she saw the dazzling sun and the colorful flowers dancing in the wind.

Linda looked at her daughter, who was smiling and hesitantly reached out to playfully touch her hair. Seeing that Lina didn't mind, she mustered the courage to pat her head gently.

"Can I have the model?" Linda asked with excitement.

Lina nodded and smiled, saying, "Of course!"

Linda held the model as if it were a precious treasure and placed it prominently on her bedside table. It was the first gift her daughter had given her.

The more she thought about it, the happier she became. It had been a long time since she had smiled like that.

After some time, Lina checked the time and realized it had been half an hour since Linda had taken her medicine. Surprisingly, Linda didn't seem to be experiencing any side effects. Lina asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Linda smiled and replied, "No."

She used to find the medicine disgusting, but now she was eager to take it on time so that she could get better soon.

Linda smiled happily and asked, "Where did you learn that trick? You're really good at it!"

Lina almost revealed that Melissa used to make her consume medicine in a similar way when she refused, but she decided to keep it to herself. She simply smiled at Linda, amazed at how smart her mother

was.
