Sold To The Wicked Him

The answer to my question, I soon find it as Aiden went to my direction as he hold my hand. With Sylphia not finding it nice, she just give off her annoyed look. Strangely, the moment our eyes met, she smile.

What is… with her?

“There is no need for you to interact with her”

“But why?”

“Because most of the girls doesn’t like her. If you know what I mean, then do what I said”Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Not wanting to ask more question, I was still left puzzled why the treat her like that. I mean… it would really be bad if I would be in trouble just because I talk to her. But… she seems nice… so… why…

“Just eat here and don’t be bothered with her”

We sat in our table and there we saw the couple. Aiya and Elton talking to each other. As soon as Elton notice our arrival, he asked me in curiosity

“Oh, There you are. Where did you two go?”

“…”

I didn’t say anything since it was Aiden who give him a question as reply

“And are you my father to ask me?”

“Well, even if it is your father who asked you, I doubt you would answer”

“Then you shouldn’t ask in the first place”

“You… ha…”

Left with no words, he just sigh defeated. What is with them arguing like this?..

“Here, why not eat some of this dishes the they served?”

Aiya show me the plates that was filled with extravagant dishes. It was so elegant that… I do wonder if it was a design or a food…

“Thank you”

With me taking a bite… the taste was nice but… it was weird. It was the first time that I have eaten this kind of dish… the meat… it is not from chicken… nor pig… not even fish but…

“What mea-”

Not havjng the chance to finish my words, I didn’t recieved the answer that I was looking for. Holding the glass of water, I was supposed to drink it when my hand turns numb. Slightly catching my breathe. I find it hard to not grasp on the sheet of the table cloth.

“Lea?” They called me but I can’t answer them. My mouth won’t listen to me…

The only thing I heard was my fork hitting the plate, and there, I was certain that my mind went black.

‘In your life, you will never see the true color of the world if your eyes was set in one direction. If the thing that you can only see was nothing hut darkness and you wouldn’t even look at what was behind you, what you will always see was your shadow. But if you look back, and step forward… what you would see is light. Thw ligjt that was there… the source of your shadow. But you see… not all people had the chance so know that they should look back. Not all people had someone to remind them of that thing. So… if ever you saw someone needing help, do not hesitate to be there to help them. Because there is nothing more greater than the happiness that you can get when you know that you helped others’

Caressing my cheeks, my grandmother was a very kind person. She would always give me piece of advice in every situation that she can find. She… was an amazing person. She… is cool. She is admirable… that is why I love her so so much…

‘But grandma… what if someone was so mean to you? Will you still help them?’

A small chuckle escape her lips as she was surprised to hear my questions

‘Every person needs help. No matter how small or big it was. Everyone deserves to be happy… for everyone has kindness within them’

‘Kindness within them? Even if they are mean?’

I was a child back then. So many questions in my head, yet, she was there to answer it for me. She really is good in her words… so simple to understand but… sometimes.. I just don’t get it.

Even after all this years…

“But all in all, she will be good. She just need to take a rest and she can be discharged”

My eyes opened but it takes countless of blink before my eyes turns clear.

I heard the sound of feet making steps towards some direction. It became louder and in no time, there I saw Aiden looking at me with some sort of face I can’t explain.

“So you are still alive”

And what does he mean by his words? That he thought that I was already dead?

“Mr. Lazarus… Your wife is now safe. So there is no need to be worried”

It was the doctor if I can say… but… he doesn’t really sound worried at all. What is the doctor even talking about?

With me forcing myself to stand up, I feel a bit dizzy somehow…

“What happened?”

I asked with confusion as I have no idea what really happened to me. The last thing I know is that, I ate the food that Aiya gave me and then… suddenly, I can’t breathe.

“There was a shrimp in your food. Base on the test that have done, your body is not taking seafood naturally. Unlike other people, shrimps and the likes of them are toxins in your body. It gives you a different effect that once you take any of it… even if it is just in your throat, you can get signs like what you experienced just now. For your body have a strange reaction in it. Which is to say, in order for you to continue your life like what it is used to be, be careful in what you eat. It is lucky of you that the substance you are wasn’t that much. It became a factor for you not getting any fate injury”

So… he was basically saying that I have allergies and that was the reason why it happened to me?

I was a bit confused about what the doctor had said. Although, I am not certain about the fact that I have no allergies it…

All this time, even when my grandmother was there for me… she would prepare food with that very special taste. Never once did I saw a dish having seafood… maybe… that is because she knew that I have allergies in it?

But… I never know

“How can you eat something that you have allergies with?”

Aiden told me as he seems to not want to receive any answer. It was whisper… maybe he doesn’t what to make the doctor any more suspicious… after all, we are acting like couples in the eyes of the public.

“Please do take some rest Mrs. Lazarus. I will go back to check you again after some time. If you are all feeling good and there is no other complications, then you can be discharged any time soon”

I just nod my head as I don’t really want to say any more words. It also seems that Aiden is not having a good time with the doctor being around.

“How are you doing?”

“I think I am fine”

That small words, I have no other words to say.

“Good, don’t cause any more trouble. The car will arrive later. Do take rest. I have to go”

He was about to get out when I have questions to ask… but… surely he would be mad if I bothered him again…

Maybe I shouldn’t say any words to him.

But… still, I was a bit worried. I am worried on why his hands was.. Slightly shaking. Is Aiden alright?
