I will Love You Forever - Chapter 145

It was dark already and time for Qin to visit Kara. Because of his constant visiting, there was a drastic change in her health.

He took her hand and checked her pulse. It was stable and it was a sign that she would no longer need him anymore.

Unlike Qin, Kara had no thoughts about Qin. She only saw him as her doctor who was meant to help her with her health issues but didn’t consider him as anything else.

He returned her hand and sighed. “Your pulse is stable and every other thing seems fine now.”

Kara smiled and thanked him for his services. “Thank you for taking care of me. I’m sure you don’t have to come again.” Kara’s words were polite and direct but Qin didn’t take it that way.

“No!” he quickly blurted out causing Kara to stare at him confused.

Qin cleared his throat. He didn’t know how to conceal his emotions. “I mean… I still have to watch you for a while to make sure you are completely out of danger. That way, I’ll know I have done my part as your doctor.”

He was saying all that just to justify his earlier reaction. Kara was sceptical about his behaviour and responded, “You know best.”

That was all Kara could say before excusing herself.

Mr Johnathan escorted Qin outside to have a chat with him. “I’m sorry for taking so much of your time this past few days. Thank you for taking care of her.” he smiled gratefully.

Even though Kara was fine and well now, Qin still felt the need to be close to her. Not because he felt close to her but because he felt that she wasn’t completely well yet.

As he drove back to his house, he kept muttering to himself, “I’ll just be there for a while. It’s just so I can make sure she is permanently away from danger and not him more.” he said all these to convince himself that he wasn’t doing this thing because he cared but because it was his duty.

He sighed and stopped the car halfway. He couldn’t concentrate on driving because she was all that was on his mind.

“I didn’t come off as over caring, did I?” he asked himself wondering if she would misunderstand his actions.

He shook his head and pushed the issue to the back of his mind but just as he started his car again, someone ran out of nowhere in from of his car.

He was too startled and rushed out to make sure that the said person did not get hurt. When he saw the person who was standing there, he furrowed his brow.

“You?” he asked confused but got no response.

He moved closer to make sure this was the person he thought it was. When he got close enough, the corner of his left brow raised.

He noticed that her eyes were closed but her body was very much alive. ‘Is she sleepwalking?’ he wondered and waved his hand in front of her face.

Kel began to walk away with her eyes closed surprising Qin. He had seen people with cases of insomnia but this was the highest he had seen.

Kel was walking back home with her eyes closed and somehow, she knew exactly where she was going.

Most patients with insomnia never walk a long distance and usually walk around their homes but never this far.

He was worried about waking her up because this would only cause more harm than good so he resorted to the best option.

He raised his hand and stroked her neck rendering her temporarily unconscious. Kel fell unconscious and he was swift to carry her to his car. Thankfully, they were at a wooded area and no one saw what was happening.

Qin drove back to Johnathan’s mansion and the first person he saw was Kara who was walking with her father in the garden. He rushed to get Kel out of the car and when Kara saw her sister like that, she got worried.

“What happened? Did she get hit?” Qin carried Kel into the house and Johnathan’s led them to her room. Although Kara was worried and asked so many questions, win gave no response until he dropped Kel carefully on the bed.

He turned to them and explained. “She was sleepwalking on her way home. I’m guessing she has chronic insomnia.”

Johnathan wasn’t surprised at all. Kel had been having nightmares and had trouble sleeping since her mother’s disappearance but it wasn’t as severe as walking home while sleeping.

“I suggest you get a therapist to help with her current state,” he suggested and Johnathan nodded. Kara was listening but didn’t tear her gaze from her younger sister. Kel has been her everything and she didn’t want anything to happen to her.

“I’ll come here tomorrow to see how she’s doing but for now, I suggest you watch her,” he spoke stealing glances at Kara from time to time. He didn’t know why but he couldn’t help but feel pity after seeing her like that.

Kara cover her sister with a blanket and made sure she was comfortable. She planned to spend the night in Kel’s room to watch her and make sure she didn’t lack anything.

“I’ll take my leave now,” Qin said this as though he wanted Kara to look at him at least once before he left but that didn’t happen. She was carried away with taking care of Kel that she didn’t even know that he said something.

“Thank you so much.” Johnathan thanked him and escorted him out. This was the second time they were leaving the house together in one night.

“Sorry for inconveniencing you and thank you for bringing her home.” Johnathan was already tired. Ever since he trapped his wife, Kel had never been the same again. He knew that it would take some time for her to understand and let go of her mother but he never knew it would be as terrible as that.

“I fear that she would grieve for a long time.” because of the relationship between Kel and Elizabeth, this was bound to happen and Johnathan knew it.

Qin said nothing and just went to his car. He d over away from the mansion but as soon as he left the area, he went straight to his hospital.

He couldn’t go home after this discovery. He sat on his chair and reminisced for a while on what to do. He couldn’t tell Madison about it because he was worried about how Kara would feel.

He closed his eyes and recalled what happened. He raised his hand and stroked Kel’s neck and she fell but when he carried her, he saw her scales. Even though it was just for a few seconds before it disappeared, he was sure that he saw it.

Although Johnathan thought her behaviour was a result of missing her mother, he knew that it was much worse. She had not fed yet and that was the reason for her behaviour.

A basilisk needs to feed or else, it would be detrimental to its health. Although the myth mentioned the side effects of starvation, it never mentioned mood swings and insomnia.

He wasn’t sure if this could be considered better or worse as she could do anything strange at that state.

Qin didn’t choose to be a doctor just for humans but also for rare creatures. If there was anyone who knew them the most, he was the one.

“Why? Is something on my face?” Gerard asked and Ayla blinked twice. Why did he even have to talk like that? His face, body, voice and everything was alluring.

“Aham…” she cleared her throat and shook her head to go back to her senses. “You took a while… That was why I came to see if you were done.” she incoherently responded and he smiled completely massacring her tower of pride.

“Hey!…” she yelled at him and pointed her index finger at him confusing him.

Gerard raised a brow confused but just as he was about to ask what the matter was, she warned him. “Don’t smile like that.”

Gerard was surprised and confused at the same time. “Huh?”

“Just don’t smile like that.” ‘Or else I would become a dummy for you’ she said the last line in her mind.

Gerard put everything in place and realized why she was saying such. It was the same feeling he had whenever he saw her smile and it made him furious whenever he saw her reveal that side of her to other men.

He raised a brow and nodded in understanding. “Alright. I won’t smile at ‘you’ like that again.” he spoke enunciating the word you.

Ayla pursed in her steps and looked at him with a glare. “You’re not allowed to smile at anyone.”

Gerard raised a brow and decided to tease her. “Well, my smile is my charm. So many deals have been sealed because of this smile of mine.”

Ayla squinted her eyes and in the next minute, she glared daggers at him. “I’ll hunt all of them down and make sure they forget how they felt when they saw that smile.”

She moved closer with a threatening gaze and warned, “I’m the only one permitted to see that smile.” she looked like a tiny mafia to him and at that moment, he couldn’t think of anything to say.
