Life After Prison

Severin did not bother answering Stanley’s question and said with a faint smile, “I didn’t think you’d be up so early just to come here and help me with carrying my medical box.”

“I have to. I’m a proactive person, and I prefer to arrive early instead of letting others wait for me,” Stanley said while patting his chest.

“Oh, alright then. I’ll go in and get the medical box!” Severin smiled, then pretended to walk back. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

When he entered the house, he had a sly smile on his lips as he took out a small metal box from his storage ring. Then, he took out another seemingly small black iron piece and placed it in before covering it with some herbs.

The black iron piece was very heavy despite its small size, and when the entire medicine box was lifted, the total weight was about 40 or 50 pounds. Severin grinned because he did not need to use any effort to carry such a huge box. However, it would be far too heavy for someone like Stanley.

He casually walked out with the metal box and handed it to Stanley. “Alright, Stanley, you said you wanted to help me carry my medical box, right? I hope you don’t regret it!”

“Hehe, there is nothing to regret. It’ll be worth it as long as I can go with you to the Zelankos and meet the beautiful Robin.” Stanley chuckled, and added, “I added her on social media through the number you gave me last night, hehe!”

“And then what happened?” Severin asked with a smile as he handed the box over.

“And then…GAH!” As soon as Stanley received the box, it was so heavy that his entire body bent forward as the box fell to the ground.

“What’s wrong with you? Can’t you lift a box? It contains a lot of precious medicinal materials, and we can’t have it break on me!” Severin scolded Stanley harshly.

“I didn’t mean it! This box…it’s not that big, but why is it so heavy?” Stanley exclaimed in surprise. He tried lifting it again, but the box did not budge at all. It was only when he exerted all his strength that he could finally lift it up, but it was still very difficult and his face was as red as a tomato.

“Is it that heavy? It wasn’t heavy when I lifted it!” Severin then took the chance to take another jib at him.” Hehe, I think it’s because you don’t exercise all too often. How can you expect to meet Robin if you can’t even lift a box? What makes you think she’ll like a weakling? You know what, maybe you should just go home. It’ll be a waste of time if you tag along!”

“Who said I couldn’t lift it? I’m lifting it now, aren’t I? It’s just…ugh…it’s just a little heavy, that’s all! It’s really weird that such a small box feels like it weighs forty or fifty pounds. What did you put in it?” Stanley frowned, strained to carry the box. “We should…we should get moving! Where’s your car? Let’s get in the car!”

Severin found it hilarious to see Stanley overexerting himself like that. He took his time to go over and walked slowly as he asked, “By the way, did Robin reply to you after you added her on social media?”
