Chapter 808:
“1 don’t think so.” Donna had never tasted alcohol in her life. Callum cherished her deeply and had never pressured her to attend social gatherings where drinking was expected. Besides, she was more of a tea person. As a result, she had never even taken a sip, not even of something as mild as beer.
As Donna spoke, she tilted her head back and took a large gulp. Then, wiping the corner of her mouth, she said, “Never had it before.” Donna then stuck out her tongue in distaste, as she turned to Callum. “It’s awful! Why do you all like this stuff so much p>
Callum chuckled, watching Donna’s reaction with amusement. “You might not like it at your first sip, but after a while, you’ll get used to it. Beer goes well with barbecues p>
Donna swayed unsteadily, nearly losing her balance.
Callum reacted swiftly, catching Donna before she could stumble. “Are you okay p>
Callum looked at Donna closely and noticed a dazed look in her eyes, as if she were already drunk. But could a single sip really have had this effect on Donna?
“Candied treats, sweet and bright. Roasted nuts, warm delight. Kheley alleys, old and wide. Childhood memories still reside. The building stands, tall and grand. The waters stretch across the land. Pigeons fly through the air. Sunset skies, beyond compare p>
In front of everyone, Donna stood up straight and solemnly recited a nursery rhyme. She delivered it with utmost seriousness, like a child earnestly performing on stage.
John, seated off to the side, watched Donna with a puzzled expression. “That sounds very familiar,” he muttered to himself.

Dina watched as Donna made a fool of herself in front of everyone, a smug expression forming across her face. She hadn’t expected Donna, who always seemed so refined and elegant, to make such a spectacle. In contrast to Donna’s…
Embarrassed by the display, Dina couldn’t help but think that perhaps she wasn’t so bad after all.
Elianna watched Donna’s antics with a snort, her eyes flashing with disdain. “Utterly disgraceful,” she muttered under her breath.
“Donna, that was very well recited,” Callum said, breaking the silence as he was the first to applaud.
Yelena, Cayson, and a few others joined in. Encouraged by the applause, Donna became even more animated, repeatedly bowing to everyone present.
“Thank you, thank you all,” Donna said cheerfully. She attempted to stand upright, but her body wobbled unsteadily, nearly causing her to topple over.
Fortunately, Callum was right beside her and swiftly caught her. “Honey, you’re drunk. Let me help you back to our room to lie down p>
“I’m not drunk. I want another sip!” Donna then leaned against Callum’s shoulder and became completely motionless.
Callum hesitated for a moment before gently calling out, “Honey?” However, Donna remained silent, not responding in the slightest.
It was only then that Callum realized Donna had fallen asleep.
Callum gently pushed Donna away to create some space and then carefully lifted her into his arms. “She’s drunk. I’ll take her back to our room so she can rest and avoid catching a cold p>
Callum carried Donna with great care, his steps firm and steady as he made his way toward the resort.
