Love Is A Sweet Poison - Chapter 87

Miyuki came outside and handed the girl lunch and then waved as the carriage drove away.

Gabriel woke up and looked at everyone that was quietly eating. “Good morning., I am surprised at how much I slept. I must have really needed it.”

“We have pulled over for a quick bite to eat and let everyone relieve themselves. Kosuke said that we will reach the house in a few hours.” Kazuki reached into the bento and pulled out an onigiri.

Gabriel took the onigiri and stepped outside stretching. “Good morning everyone. It is nice to stretch out after a long ride. Kosuke are you doing okay?”

“I am perfectly fine. The horses are happy to have a break and eat something. We will be leaving in a moment. I know what you want to get home.” Kosuke bowed to Gabriel.

Edward walked up and patted Gabriel on the back. “Good morning. I took turns with Kosuke and we slept on and off. There is no way that we would both still be tired with that going on. Will will reach home soon.”

Gabriel lets out a sigh and then gets back inside the carriage. “Itadakimasu.” He eats the onigiri that Kazuki gave to him and smiles. “I just want to get home.”

“We will reach there soon enough.” Kazuki pulled out a dongo and gave one to Gabriela and then hopped out handing it one to everyone. “After this lets. .h.i.t the road. The journey is almost over and then we will all be able to relax.”

Everyone cheered and ate the dongo quickly and then they all piled back into the carriage. Itsuki clung onto Gabriel and looked up at him. “Big Brother are you okay?”

“Yeah, I am okay just a little anxious to get home and see Amelia. She will be your Big Sister.” Gabriel looked at the little guy that was looking up at him. “Don’t worry I will not do anything bad. I am really excited.”

Mayumi reached out and tried to go to Gabriel. “Papa bring me closer to uncle, please?” She looked at Kazuki with pleading eyes. Kazuki holds Mayumi out to Gabriel and she kisses him on the cheek. “Uncle, cheer

up we will be home soon.”

Gabriel chuckles and pats Mayumi on the head. “Thank you, Mayuki. I will be okay but thank you for cheering me up.” He smiles at the little girl and she giggles.

Kazuki pulled her back and shook his head. “Sorry, Gabriel I did not know that she was going to do that. She is young and doesn’t quite understand the meaning of a kiss.”

“No need to apologize. I am not mad. I get that she is still young. She probably picked that up from Suzuka when she would kiss you on the cheek goodbye when you go to work.” Gabriel was cheered up by the small kiss on the cheek. HE glanced out the window and saw the carriage leaving the manor. ‘Amelia’s friends? Did those girls spend the night?’

Suzuka blushes and covers her face. “Gabriel how can you say such things with a straight face?” she covered her face and shook her head.

The carriage pulled up and Gabriel saw Amelia standing by the door. As soon as the carriage stopped Gabriel opened the door and stepped down. He places Itsuki down and rushed over to Amelia. “YOu are not looking all that well. Come let’s get you inside.” He takes her hand and leads her back inside.

Amelia was watching as her friends left and noticed another carriage and got excited. As she got it excited it made the attack start to build up and she was weakened. She felt Gabriel lead her inside, “Gabriel, I am going to have another attack. Do not let the little ones see.”

“Pardon my reach then.” Gabriel quickly lifted her up and took her to his room. He laid her on his bedding and then grabbed a bucket. “This time we are more prepared.”

Amelia felt her body being lifted and she started to cough into her hand. She felt the attack getting worse as she was laid down. Gabriel was supporting her as she sat up and she started puking up blood while still coughing.

Kazuki worried that something bad would happen, then he raced after his brother. He heard the sounds of her puking and knocked on the door. “It’s me. May I come in?”

“Kazuki, find Miyuki and get her to find Amelia’s medicine… please.” Gabriel was rubbing Amelia’s back as the coughing slowly got better. “Do you want to lay down? You stopped puking. Tell me what I can do to help you.”

Amelia pulled out a handkerchief and a green medicine package. She dropped the medicine but wiped her mouth. She looked at her hand and leaned into Gabriel’s chest. “Welcome back.”

Gabriel picked up the medicine, opened the package and poured the contents in her mouth. “I am glad that I am back to take care of you. Do you have a room already?”

Amelia took the medicine and weakly nodded her head. “I carried the medicine around. Father Clarence said I would have an attack. I have a room near the banquet room.”

Miyuki and Kazuki knock on the door and Miyuki opens the door and sees the bowl of blood. She rushes to Amelia’s side with the medicine, her hands shaking. “Are you oo-okay Amelia?”

Gabriel takes the powders away and starts to feed the last two to her. “I’m going to lift you up and carry you to your room unless you want to stay here?”

“Come to my room. So you can see where it is.” Amelia rested her head on his chest.

Gabriel lifted Amelia up and carried her down the hallway. “Miyuki lead the way, please.”

Miyuki gets up in a rush and leaves the room and leads him to the bedroom. She goes to the door and slides it open. “This is the room for Amelia, Young Master.”
