Love Is A Sweet Poison - Chapter 88

Gabriel carries Amelia into the room and lays her down on the bed, touching her forehead. “Is there anything that I can get for you?”

Amelia closed her eyes and shook her head no. “Just stay with me. I do not want to be alone right now.”

“I will stay with you and you do not need to worry. I will be here when you wake up.” Gabriel sat on the bedding that was still laid out and laid down next to her holding her hand.

“Thank you, Gabriel.” Amelia covered her mouth astshe yawned and fell asleep. Her breathing evens out and she relaxes and her hand slips from him.

Gabriel sits up and climbs out of the bedding he goes to the door and walks to the front of the house. “Mother, do not be too hard of big brother. He was only doing what he felt was right. I was the one that asked him to come and help me. I did not actively seek him out but I found him. I only came here to say this. Amelia had a major attack and I do not feel comfortable leaving her side.”

Kazuki was bowing low to the ground with Edna glaring down at him. Suzuka stepped out of the carriage and looked at Edna. “Mother Edna, do not punish him so hard. If he knew that he was going to be meeting me that day then I think we both would’ve stayed.”

Kosuke helped Suzuka down and then lifted Mayumi out. Mayumi ran behind her mother and then saw Gabriel���s sad worried expression. “Uncle!” Mayumi ran to him worried and tripped on the ground. She started crying.

Gabriel went to her and picked her up and kissed her cheek. “A return kiss so that the pain will go away. Let’s go clean the cut up and then you can come to see Auntie if you are quiet.”

Mayumi hugged Gabriel’s side and nodded her head. “Okay, I will be on my best behaviour.”

Itsuki followed after the two and was worried about Mayumi and Big Sister. “May I come too?”

“Of course.” Gabriel placed a pair of slippers for Itsuki and then changed Mayumi’s shoes to slippers. He carried her to Amelia’s room

with Itsuki following behind him.

Miyuki, please bring warm and cold water. I need to clean a wound and then cold is going to be placed on Amelia’s forehead. I am worried that she is suffering.” Gabriel requests the water from Miyuki and then enters the room again with the young ones.

“Yes, of course. I will bring it right away. Also, do you think that she should have a different lunch?” Miyuki asks this completely concerned. She waits for a reply and sees the children.

“There are more guests so we should up the food amount. Let’s make soup for Amelia.” Gabriel sat down and looked at the wound of Mayumi’s knee.

“Okay, I will inform k.u.ma when I get to the kitchen.” Miyuki rushes from the room and goes to the kitchen to relay the requests to k.u.ma.

Itsuki looks at the pretty lady sleeping on the bedding and looks at Gabriel. “Is Big Sister okay?”

Mayumi looked at her knee and saw a little blood but did not panic. “I am worried about Auntie. She is so pretty. Can I lay down next to her after you clean my wound? I am sleepy still.”

Miyuki comes back to the room carrying the two bowls of water. She places the cold water bowl by Amelia’s head and then brings the warm water over. “I placed two cloths in the water and k.u.ma is going to 0talk to madam about how many to cook for.”

“Thank you for your hard work. Also, you moved my painting. I really appreciate that.” Gabriel picked up the cloth and wrung out some water then got toe work cleaning the wound. Once it was clean he blew on the wound and wrapped a piece of cloth Miyuki handed to him. “All better.”

“Thank you, uncle. I feel a lot better now. May I rest now?” Mayumi waited.

Gabriel picked her up and laid her down next to Amelia and patted her head. “Rest well.” Gabriel picked up Itsuki and looked at the little guy rubbing his eyes. “Come on, you can sleep next to Big Sister as well.” He laid him down and watched as both children pa.s.sed out. He went to above Amelia and set up the cloth and laid it on her forehead. “She had visitors?”

“Yes, Ami and Sachi spent the night last night. Madam thought that it was a good idea for her to have some friendly faces with her at the house. They brought Amelia, her homework form the teachers. They are very sweet ladies. Also, I am very excited to see what you guys decide to do for a wedding.” Miyuki smiles and gets up. “If you need me for anything my room is next to Amelia’s but I will be in the kitchen so send someone to fetch me if you need anything.”

“Thank you, Miyuki. If you could bring me a sketchbook and my pencils I will sit here working on that.” Gabriel nodded at Miyuki and then looked down at Amelia. ‘My sweet angel, I am glad that I am finally home.’

Inari sat at the door looking in worriedly at Amelia and bounced over to her and snuggled in beside her and slept there. Sending her healing magic as they all slept.

Miyuki handed Gabriel the art supplies and left the room and went straight to the kitchen.

Gabriel took the supplies and started sketching Amelia at the entrance of the house. He paid attention to the details on her yukata and made the picture look realistic. He sketched it all out and then he started to colour the picture. At the bottom, he wrote. The love of my life. There was a knock at the door and Gabriel placed the artwork down then went to the door. He opened it quietly and looked at the lady standing there. “h.e.l.lo, again Mother Irene.”
