Chapter 18 Don't leave again
Arianna's POV
Fear enveloped me, what have I done again? I couldn't believe he'd have an allergy either. I folded my lips, tensed as the flash went off, I felt a pang of nostalgia sharp enough to make me draw a quick breath.
Electricity ignites all over my brain, causing the hair follicles on my arms and the back of my neck to vibrate. My stomach tightens as and my breath grasp inside my throat.
He was rushed to his room, thanks to some servants who were still around. Hastily, I invited the family doctor.
It was quite late but he did the honor of appearing before me. I was baffled because it was serious but the doctor tried to keep me at rest, not to be jinxed by the heartbreaking story he had for him.
He claims he was out of danger and administered some drugs to him but why wasn't he opening his eyes? The doctor informs that he would be out for some days.
"Somedays?" I mutters so worried that I felt I should be in his place not him. Oh no! How would I be able to forgive myself after placing him under such pain and grief?
Perhaps, of her wakes up, I'd demand we end this relationship. Ever since I came in, his life has never being the same.
"Well, it's been a while he's been knocked out this way and..."
As he narrates, his voice faded in my head and what I heard was the ticking clock and my eyes stared at the pale face of the man laying in front of him, subconscious. I folded my arms, willing to spend the night by his side.
When the doctor was done with his explanation which of course I barely heard, I walked him out of the house, appreciating his effort to show up that late.
Returning back to the room, I felt sad, drew a seat beside ravyen and sat down. How calm he seems in that unconscious state. I lock my palm in his and kissed it mildly.
Then my eyes strolled to the intravenous fluid fixed on him and the heart rate monitor by his side. It felt so boring and scary.
Oddly, I became a nanny. His body began to vibrate and I widened my eyes at me. Hastily, I laid beside him to keep him calm and he rolled his body to face me. His hot breath fanned my face.
He suddenly spur his eyes, having a piteous gaze at me, he looked drowsy, hopeless and lost. He threw his arm around my waist, cuddled me closer to him and I felt i was embracing flames.
His body was so hot and I felt my skin would burn. I needed to keep his temperature down. I tried to break out of his hold but he stiffen his grip on me.
He didn't even wink when he suddenly said;
"I miss you Bianca"
Like an ice dropped on me, I was stunned by that statement, i narrowed my eyes at him. Who was Bianca? That name felt familiar but I couldn't scramble between the affection word and the name.
My heart felt weak as I suddenly didn't like what he said. I couldn't explain the feeling I was having either. My eyes scanned him and he still had that forlorness in his eyes, it was teary and it made me fluster and intrigued to know who owes that name.
I should just go on with fact that it was an illusion.
Immediately he said that line, he shut his eyes again and buried his head on my breast. I flinched as one of my arm laid on his back. I shouldn't overreact, maybe I heard wrong. I shouldn't even meddle in his personal life as it turns out that I was only a person bond to him by a paper.
I pushed his head softly while moving from the bed. Quickly, I rushed to the kitchen to get any available bowl, poured warm water in it, got a face towel and paced towards his room.
Just as fast as I could, I soaked the towel in the warm water, squeezed the water out and placed it on his forehead. He winced, breathing softly yet never opened his eyes.
Well that was it as he suddenly threw up! Argh! What more would I see during my care for him?
Looking weak and feeble, when I shut my eyes and opened it, it were the next day and he still haven't woken up or he has but subconsciously.
With him, I experience what I'd term, "never ever have i" even if ivan was a pain in the neck, i haven't experienced such depressing moments as this. Being tortured by a sick patient.
He threw up several times, runs temperature, and when he spur his eyes open, his lips weakly demands on what he'd love to eat.
When I bring it forward to him, he'd claim not to have interest in it. That repeated several times and I was having heavy eyes and dizzy but I had to watch this man, just in case any complications comes in, I'd alert the doctor.
Argh! How I wish he'd fall asleep! When he does, I get worried because his breathing would become rasp.
He demanded a lot, the position he want to be on bed, I should kiss him because he'd fall asleep then. At times, he wanted me to sleep beside him, he'd embrace me so tight like he was squeezing a pillow and he almost took my breath away.
My head buried on his broad chest and I was almost tempted to lick it but restricted myself except for my breath which felt hot because of the tight space.
The piteous way he looks at me like a child who needed a mother's love. Never would I make a mistake of feeding him his allergy or revamping it.
When I try to move away from him, he'd spur his eyes open and say:
"Don't leave me again"
Oh how he has his way of pulling me back to his arms with that sonorous voice of his. It were as if he was lacking something and I felt so remorseful for him. However that name he mentioned still lurks in my head. I was curious to know who that was.
To be sincere, a sense of jealousy was flushing inside me. I shouldn't exaggerate, I wasn't his to begin with and that was something I had to learn.
Could he just wake up because at this rate, I will die from his childish and cute acts.
I smiled at him and didn't even realize when my head fell on his arms.
