She lowered her head and agreed, just like before, submissive and weak.
Skyler didn’t say anything more, just urged her to drink the medicine first.
Since there was no way to avoid it, Celeste had no choice but to force herself to drink the medicine, holding her breath and chugging it down.

Skyler’s goal had been achieved, and there was no point in continuing the meal. She got up and said, “I have a card game. with Mrs. Garber this afternoon, and it’s almost time. You two go ahead and eat.”
Kaylee quickly got up, “I’m meeting a friend for shopping, Mom. Can you give me a ride?”
Liam and Celeste escorted them to the door. Before leaving, Skyler didn’t forget to remind Celeste, “Celeste, remember to take your belongings and don’t forget about what I said.”
Celeste nodded.

When she realized that her miserable state was all because of him, Celeste was too angry to calm down.
She said sarcastically, “Does Mr. Reed enjoy watching people use the restroom?”
