âKyson dropped you off again, didnât he? You donât need to stay here with me.
Mommyâs gone for a thirty-minute video call and will be back soon.
Itâs already been fifteen minutes.
Go to Kyson if youâd like.
â
Destinee frowned.
âNo! I want to enjoy the fruits with you.
Also, Kyson is here to make amends to you.
Heâs going to kneel on durian shells later!â
She stated this confidently as though Kyson had already consented to the act.
Colby looked shocked.
âIs he⦠going to kneel in front of me? He actually said that?â
âYes!â Destinee affirmed confidently.
Colbyâs expression showed skepticism.
Although his face softened a little, he still harbored some resentment toward Kyson.
âDaddy mentioned Iâm too young.
It wouldnât be right for an elder to kneel before me.
Does he really think he was wrong, or is he just trying to hurt me?â
âWellâ¦â Destineeâs smile slowly faded.
She was unsure.
She pondered for a moment and then corrected herself, saying, âActually⦠Kyson didnât exactly say he would kneel.
He just mentioned he was going to buy a durian and a pineapple.
But that doesnât matter.
Colby, youâre feeling unwell and sometimes experience a lot of pain; itâs all because of him.
Letâs think of a way to get back at him today! Itâs the perfect chance.
A little payback wonât hurt.
â
The corners of Colbyâs mouth twitched.
âGood for you, Destinee, playing both sides so well.
â
Destinee covered her cheeks and cocked her head adorably.
âDonât say that.
I want everything to be okay between you two.
To help patch things up, I donât mind eating a bit more durian⦠Oops, I mean, I donât mind a little hardship.
â
Colby gave a dismissive snort.
âWell, get ready.
Heâs in for a big punishment!â
It wouldnât be just a minor pain.
He was resolute in his desire to see Kyson bleed.
Colby told himself it wasnât about his craving for durian and pineapple; he simply wanted to retaliate against Kyson for his wrongs.
More than ten minutes later, Kyson returned to the lab with a large durian and pineapple in his arms.
He was unaware of the punishment that awaited him.
Destinee had already sided with her brother.
The cunning Destinee and Colby had cooked up a major surprise for him!
After arriving at the door of Colbyâs room, Kyson paused and took a moment to mentally brace himself.
Then, he slowly pushed the door open.
Inside, Colbyâs infusion bag had been swapped for a fresh one, and it would be some time before the lab researcher returned.
Destinee sat beside him and gently massaged his arm.
âAre you feeling any better, Colby? Your left-hand looks a bit swollen from the IV.
Does it still hurt?â
Colby shook his head and focused his gaze on Kyson at the door.
Kyson approached with a smile and placed the bags containing the durian and pineapple on the table.
