“I messed up last time! | wanted to help you recover faster, but | didn't realize the pill i gave you was faulty” Serena felt deeply ashamed, “You suffered for nothing. luckily, you're a good sport, and everything turned out okay!” Phillip chuckled kindly, “Let's not dwell on what's past.” Actually, it wasn’t a problem with the pill, but his frail body wasn’t suitable for it.
