Love Is A Sweet Poison - Chapter 84

The adults start to eat their meals but Irene watches Amelia closely for fear that she might have her attack at any moment.

Amelia bites into the meat bun and eats it. She then eats an egg roll. She took a few bites of rice and she drank her tea. She picks up the other half of the meat bun and nibbles on it as the others eat their food fast. She splits her left overs and hands the rice with some egg over to Ami and gets up taking the rest of the egg to Miyuki before she sits down and finishes the bun. She drank the tea and then said, “gochisosama. I am, sorry but I will not be able to eat anything else today. I think that we should head to sleep. I want to get enough rest.”

Sachi looks at Amelia’s plate and says, “gochisosama. I will accompany you back. Ami, Miyuki, you two can finish and come when you are down.” She smiles while she follows Amelia out of the room.

Amelia turned and looked at Sachi and opened the bedroom door. She went to the cupboard and pulled out three clean sleeping Yukatas. “What was it that you meant by those words you said to me Sachi?”

“Those words… Ah, I wanted to tell you how I felt about you. Since you are getting married I wanted you to know that I have always loved you in a romantic way but you do not need to worry I would never do anything to hurt you. I am going to accept my marriage proposal that way I will not be alone and he will love me with his whole heart.” Sachi was standing at the door.

“Sachi you know that is one way to get yourself killed by admitting those feelings? Not that I would tell anything. I know that you are not lying. I could tell from your facial expression.” Amelia bows, “I am sorry but I cannot accept your confession as the only one for me is Cedric but I will still be your friend no matter what happens.”

“I knew that was going to be your reply. I will always be your friend and there is nothing that anyone can do. I am honoured that you will keep me as a friend and I promise that I will

help make you the most gorgeous bride alive.” Sachi smiled and took the yukata from Amelia and started to get changed.

“Thank you, Sachi. I will pray that you will come to find your true love. Amelia went behind the changing divider and changed into the yukata and started coughing. She touches the divider and it falls over and Amelia started to fall.

Sachi catches her and lays her on the ground. “Let it out and use that handkerchief. I will force Ami to finish her a.s.signment while you rest. I got your a.s.signments so you can rest a.s.sured that I will hand them in for you. Amelia just knows that I will not do anything that will compromise our friends.h.i.+p.”

Amelia was holding the handkerchief to her lips and coughed and then her body started to calm down. “Sachi, can I trouble you to help me over to the bedding? I will rest as you suggested.”

Sachi lifted Amelia up slowly then carried her over to the bedding. She laid her down in the middle. “We will be here for you if you need us.” She got up and went to the table. She finished off the a.s.signment she was working on when Ami came back.

“Sleeping? Will she really be okay?” Ami looks at Sachi deeply concerned.

“Yes, I think that she will be but let’s let her rest as much as possible. She will recover from this.” Sachi looked at Amelia then at Ami, “you should be more worried about your a.s.signment!”

“Nooooo, I don’t want to but you are right I will work on it and we shall sleep again soon enough.” Ami looked down at her embroidery and sighed.

Sachi giggles, “just remember what Amelia said.”

“Yes, I remember.” Ami sits down and the two work on their a.s.signments.

Gabriel woke up and looked at the boy that was asleep in his arms. He let out a sigh.

“If you sigh like that then all your happiness will leave you, Gabriel.” Kazuki looked at Gabriel from across the s.p.a.ce.

“It is not like I am able to control my sighing and if all my happiness left then I would still be the same. I have sighed more times than I could count.” Gabriel lifts Itsuki a little higher. “I left all my happiness with Amelia.”

Kazuki was holding Mayumi and he smiled at Gabriel. “You know I never expected you to fall so deeply in love. I thought that you were like a doll sometimes. One that did not react to anything. As you barely reacted to anything that I did. It was when you were competing with me to make medicines that I realized that you were human like me and that you could show emotion. You still give off this I’m cold don’t bother me aura but you also have a gentle sweet side.”

“I did not know that I came off so0 cold but you know there was not a lot I could do and I decided that if I was to get as good as you at medicine that I needed to study as hard as I can and that is one of the reasons Grandfather was so strict with us. He wanted us to learn the techniques, as Father was not able to learn them but both of us had an affinity for it. I really want to get home and go and see Amelia. I am deeply concerned that she will not be okay.” Gabriel watches Kazuki’s facial reactions s.h.i.+ft.

“Honestly, you have grown up so much that I am shocked. I have always been proud of you even though you were an emotionless doll. Now you are more human and I am sad to see you panicking but at the same time, I am happy for you. I will do all that I can to save your girl. Come we should rest more.” Kazuki closed his eyes and fell back asleep.

Gabriel shook his head and looked out the window at the trees rolling by. ‘I will be home in the morning my sweet Amelia.’ He closed his eyes and let the sleep pull him back under.
