Hearing Lily Turner's words, Easton Holmes withdrew the hand covering Thomas Fisher's mouth, and before taking it back, he patted Thomas Fisher's head, "For your sister-in-law's sake, I'll let you off today. If there's a next time, you'll be eating this."
After saying that, he slowly pulled back his other hand.
Once freed, Thomas Fisher finally breathed a sigh of relief and spat out the sour plum from his mouth. Although it wasn't bitten through, he felt a sour taste lingering.
He ran into the restroom to rinse his mouth. Whether it was psychological or the rinse truly worked, he felt his taste in his mouth return to normal.
"Goddess Lily! Thanks for just now."
As soon as Thomas Fisher returned from the restroom, his first task was to thank Lily Turner. He no longer called her sister-in-law but addressed her as Goddess Lily.
