Unspoken Sentiments

An hour later, Olivia was still eating her brunch. She was eyeing the green concoction on the table that was calling out her name.

She hated the drink but everyday, she forced herself to empty the tall glass, afraid to upset her mother-in-law who went the extra mile by sending a copy of the green juice recipe to Jack just so she won't miss a day of 'nourishing' her body.

Reluctantly, she gulped it down, skipping the counting process just so she wouldn't throw up the contents. This was good for health, she conditioned her mind.

As she emptied the glass, Olivia thought that maybe her pregnancy hormones back then explained why she couldn't stand the taste of Queen Isla's green juice; however, after drinking the potion for weeks after her hospitalization, she inferred that it wasn't her hormones, but the bitter, tangy and sweet taste was the real culprit why she wasn't a big fan of it.
