I will Love You Forever - Chapter 118

Her eyes darkened as she held on to the sink. She was breathing heavily and didn’t know when tears began to fall from her eyes.

It happened this afternoon. She was just seated beside Kara helping her to eat some fruits when she began to feel strange.

“Kel are you okay?” Kara asked worried and she tried to conceal what she was feeling but in the next second, she felt worse.

She dashed into the washroom and began to throw out substances from her stomach.

After a while, she felt better and thought that this was just because of stress but when she looked at what was in the toilet, she realized that there were traces of blood mixed with something green.

“Kel, is something wrong? Did something happen?” she heard Kara’s voice from outside and rushed to lock the door.

She had not taken anything green and her head felt heavier than her body. She rubbed her temples in agony but didn’t scream because she didn’t want Kara to worry about her.

“I’m fine… I’m fine…” she struggled to say but in the next minute, sounds of breaking tile were heard and she couldn’t help but groan at the weird body pain she felt.

Her nails grew longer and her eyes changed colour. Her body temperature was high and would something become very low.

She was unstable and Kara hurried to call the doctor seeing that the door wasn’t opening.

“Please there is an emergency in room 108. My sister is unwell. Can you please hurry?” she spoke incoherently and her voice was shaking with fear.

Kara was worried to death about Kel and desperately wanted her to open the door.

“Open the door Kel,” Kara called out but got no response. She could only hear the sound of things breaking and was worried that Kel would get injured at this rate.

She knelt on the floor and hit the door multiple times. She didn’t know why the doctors were taking so long but before she could process anything, the door opened.

“Kara, why are you sitting on the floor?” Kel asked worriedly.

She hurriedly helped her up and they walked back to the bed. Kara was too worried that she couldn’t even say a word at that moment until they finally got to the bed.

She checked Kel’s body and face to see if she was hurt in any way. “What happened? I heard the sound of things breaking in the bathroom and you sounded panicked,” she asked worriedly.

Kel saw the genuine worry on her face and sighed. “It’s nothing. You probably heard wrong besides, I am fine and nothing in the bathroom is broken.” Kel tried to make her car but Kara was far from being calm.

“No, I heard the sound of so many things breaking.” she persuaded and Kel got up and washed to the washroom.

She opened the door wide so that Kara could see. “See… Nothing is broken. You must be tired.”

Kara could not believe her eyes and looked at the washroom and shook her head continuously. She could not believe it.

Kel’s smiled lightly and walked back to her seat after closing the door of the washroom. “You worry too much. Would you like me to call Ayla?” she asked with a smile but Kara gave no response because she was still in disbelief.

‘What is going on? Why didn’t the doctors come? Did they not take my message seriously?’ she wondered.

In the end, Kel still managed to call Ayla but she wasn’t in the best mood and Ayla could sense it in her voice almost instantly.

Back to the present.

Kel cursed under her breath and slammed her hand on the sink. “Why! Why does it have to be me?” her voice was not heard from outside the washroom because she didn’t want to wake Kara up but she was in a messed up state.

###

It was Monday already and I had to go to school early. I heard Lucy doing some chores in the background and wondered why I still let her stay in the house even after knowing all that she did to get rid of me.

A scoff left my mouth and my lips curved up slightly. I had already taken a bath and was ready to leave but seeing that it was still quite early, I decided to stay back for a while.

I went out of the room and met the innocent looking lady cleaning the house so diligently. Well, I guess having her around isn’t that bad. She can do all the house chores before I finally break the news to her.

Lucy noticed my presence and smiled when our eyes met. “Good morning.” she greeted warmly and I couldn’t help but wonder how she can maintain such an innocent face yet have such a dark mind.

“Good morning. I’ll be off to school now. Take care of yourself.” I couldn’t pretend about how I felt towards her and because of that, my words came out strangely.

She dropped the vacuum cleaner and hurried up to me. “Ayla, please have something to eat. You have not been eating well for the past few days and I’m worried that the master would be furious when he gets back.”

‘This is going to be interesting. I would like to watch her talk a lot and eventually mess up by herself. Don’t blame me later Lucy, you were the one who stopped me from leaving the house.’ I sighed and nodded before walking to the table where the food was kept.

I didn’t trust her enough to eat what she had prepared. After all, she tried to kill me twice already.

“Here, eat some of…” she was placing the food on my plate when I stopped her.

“You don’t have to worry about that. I’ll just have some bread.” I politely rejected and I could see that she was displeased but her expression didn’t last for two seconds.

She passed me the bread and butter then sat beside me. This reminded me of the time I asked her to sit on my bed and the time I asked her to eat with me.

Where did I get it wrong and why did she decide to do something like that to me?

‘Whatever. I can’t continue to question the reasons she had and wish she was a better person. What’s done is done and for now, I’ll just watch this scene as a movie.’

“Maam, have you thought of what to but for the master on Valentine’s day?” she asked revealing an ecstatic expression.

Cough cough. I choked on the bread I was eating and looked at her confused. “Valentine’s day? Is it in February?”

Lucy looked at me surprised and nodded. “You forgot?” she asked and I couldn’t help but drag my hair.

“I thought it was in April. How couldn’t I have noticed the red and white decorations in the stores and even school?” I pulled my cheeks surprised.

To make it more unbelievable, Lucy had changed the curtains to red with white dots.

Am I that ignorant?

***

I walked to school thinking about what exactly I was going to do on Valentine’s day. I couldn’t quite understand why people made a big deal out of it. To me, it would have been nice to just have family members around and…

Oh, that reminds me, Gerard is the only family I have now. Hearing these thoughts in my head only made me realize how close I had gotten to Gerard. He has become more like family.

That brings me to the first time I got to know him.

He was a man of very few words and although I could defend myself again everyone else, I was like a tiny ant in front of him.

Looking back at my past encounters, I realized that I could have easily hit him where it hurt and exited the mansion but never for once did I win a fight against him.

Recalling all these thoughts just made me smile. I shook my head and walked into my class to prepare for today’s lecture.

As expected, Kel and Kara could not make it to school today and I guessed that would be away for a few days.

I went by today’s activities while thinking about what I could get for Gerard. I ended up going back home empty-handed.

“Maam, there is a message for you.” Lucy passed me an envelope and I looked at her quizzically.

“Who is it from?” I asked and she didn’t seem to know.

I pursed my lips and wondered who this could be from and what it entailed. Slowly, I opened the seal and realized that there were pictures.

I stood up abruptly with my brows furrowed and stared at the pictures in disbelief.

Lucy hurried over after seeing my reaction and held her mouth in shock after seeing the pictures as well.

‘Seems Val wasn’t lying when he said Anastasia was with Gerard.’
