Chapter 3 Care
<Mia>
"Chan, I don't want that anymore!" I shouted at him. He made me drink bitter water again.
I woke up at home and there were many doctors who checked me up and they also took my blood and what was done to me. There was also a nurse who kept watch on the first day. I even overcame a chronic illness.
"You need this to feel better." He said seriously and just looked at me. He was standing by my side holding a mug.
"I'm fine."
If he gets worried as if I'm seriously ill.
"No. You need to drink this." I took the mug he was holding. He will still be followed even if we argue until tomorrow. He will not stop me until I do what he wants.
I held my breath and drank it. He treated me better and took care of me so well. He never left my side for the past 3 weeks.
"It’s bitter!" I stuck out my tongue.
He took the mug from me and placed it on the side table.
"I'm fine. So you can go to work." He didn't really come to work and he watched over me. It's good to take care by him.
"No. I'll stay until you fully recover." He said firmly.
He is emotionless. I stretched, "see? I'm fine."
He sat next to me.
"Do you want to eat something?" His face is serious.
"Nothing. I want to go out." I'm tired of going to bed.
I think I've been lying down for a month. Then the doctors did a lot more to me.
Ethan told me that he was just making sure that I'm okay and that I don't have any other fractures or if I have any problems with my body.
He worried too much.
"I'm not disable. I'm fine!" He helped me up and if he could have supported me you would have thought I was a bearded.
He never leave and supported me all the way to the living room.
"Let me help you." I'm stretching.
"I will call Doctor Smith if you're finally okay." He informed.
"You’re OA!"
"Just one Doctor? I don't want many more. I feel like I'm going to die." There were as many doctors who checked me.
"Yeah. I'm just making sure you are well. No fractures or disease. Doctor Smith will check your condition, and after that, I'll leave you alone."
He took the remote and turned on the TV.
"What do you want to watch?" He switched channels.
"That's it!" I shouted when I Chinese Drama.
"Wake up early tomorrow. You need to get some sun."
"Yes. You have many reminders." I said irritated.
I focused on what I was watching.
His phone rang
"I'll just take this call." He said goodbye. I ignored him.
Psh!
I will call Yunnie later, I haven't seen or talked to her in a while.
Ethan's drinks also helped me. Those are like herbs.
"I'm leaving tomorrow, ah." I said goodbye so he wouldn't look for me.
He's back. Done talking.
"I'll see, Lorena."
"Don't drink too much alcohol tomorrow."
Even though his voice was serious and you didn't have a life, I knew there was concern there.
"You are too advanced." I looked at him.
He is wearing a plain blue polo long sleeve.
"Are you leaving?" black pants and shoes. That's tucked in.
"I am having a virtual meeting later." I looked at his butt. Because this man's butt is plump, eh.
"Where? I thought you wouldn't leave me?" I raised an eyebrow at him while still looking at him.
"It's virtual." He answered lazily.
I took my eyes off that he might catch me looking at him and what would he think.
"You're too lazy to answer." I snorted.
He's not my type because he's serious about life and doesn't know how to smile yet, he doesn't have a sense of humour yet.
"I have a question." I started
"Let's see if you're smart." I challenge him.
He didn't answer and just stared seriously.
"Hey!" I hit his stomach and he didn't even reacted.
"I have a question. Give me your attention!"
He looked at me seriously.
"My attention is all yours." I feel like I'm going to melt in his eyes and his voice is sexy.
Niyam.
"What is the opposite of a swimming pool?"
He didn't blink. That's what I'm saying, he has no sense of humour. He is a robot. No emotion, no laughing.
But he is back with his face and body. Especially her plump ass.
"Hey, what's up!" I shook him because he didn't answer.
"I don't know." He said plainly.
"It’s swimming empty." I laughed and he didn't react at all.
I stopped laughing because he was like a robot with me.
"Laugh!" There is no moral support for my jokes. He is lucky because I make him laugh.
"What kind of egg do you want?"
What egg is he insulting my corny joke?!
"What kind of egg do you want me to cook for dinner? It's high in calcium, and you need it since you had a small bone fracture."
Ah, dinner. I thought egg means zero because, my jokes are corny and, zero because he didn't even laugh.
The next day.
Ethan and I did nothing all day, while he had a virtual meeting.
He woke me up early to get some sun. I even fought him because I was sleepy and he woke up in the morning. It's 5 am in the morning.
"Drink a lot of water. We found in your test that you have UTI." He told me earlier. And I already had 3 litres of water and he didn't stop me.
I think all the doctors have looked at me.
"I don't want it anymore! It's enough! My stomach hurts." I complain.
He just approached me and that's what I revealed to him.
at 9 am in the morning. The doctor came to look at me and said I'm fine. No fever, no fracture, no pain, but with UTI.
It's afternoon and we're here in the living room.
"It's so hot!" I complain.
"Please turn on the air conditioner," I ordered him.
We are here again in the living room watching and the many fruits on the centre table. Because Ethan is so healthy, even I feel sorry for myself. I can't eat what I want. He'd track everything on me.
"You need to at least sweat." I do not want it anymore.
"It's really hot. And then I was sweating this morning."
"What time will you go? Bring water with you." There it is again.
"Turn on the air conditioner first." My order. He followed.
I can watch it alone because he has a meeting again. He was locked in his experimental room while talking to someone.
I was already preparing when 4 pm hit and I finished right at 5 pm.
"Take care, okay? Be mindful of what you eat and drink." He reminded. I'm leaving.
He wanted to take me but I didn't want to and he didn't know where I was going. He didn't even ask so I didn't say. And then he has a meeting.
"I'll pick you up. Don't go home alone."
"Yes. I'm leaving." I don't want to get rid of so many reminders. Gosh.
I was about to leave when he held my wrist and pulled me.
I stilled.
He kissed my forehead.
"Take care." He murmured against my forehead.
I can't move and react. I feel like I'm stoned.
Why is he pulling out all of a sudden?
My heart beats fast
"Are you, okay? Babe? Breathe." He shook me gently.
I blinked and he was worried about me.
"You're not breathing."
"Shut up!" I screamed and ran away.
My heart beats fast.
"Don't forget to text me." He chased.
