THE LONG LOST LOVE - Chapter 83

Zoro put down the first aid kit on the table. Rachael still facing the other way. He put her hair on the side of her shoulder and revealing her back. The wound is quite severe and her bra strap also has been stain with the blood.

Find the antiseptic he daps on her skin with the cotton slowly. Upon feeling the touch and the effect from the antiseptic, she fidgeting her body a bit. She lowered her head and tried to endure the pain.

“Does it feel hurt?” He asks when seeing her reaction.

Rachael nods her head.

“Sorry, I’ll be more gentle.” He slowly daps the wound and he hesitates to whether he wants to open her bra or not.

“Umm, your wound… I need to open your bra strap and after applying the medicine, you can’t wear it anymore.”

“Ugh..do I have a choice?” She asked back. Her face is totally red right now. Her heart is beating like hell.

“Okay.” He opens her bra strap and applies the medicine as he said before. He put on the band-aid on her back while she covers her brėȧst with both of her hand.

“Wait here, I find something to cover your..boobs.”

“Wh…” She turns even redder.

‘Why you have to say it out loud! stupid!’ She bristled inwardly.

Zoro went to where he dry his shirt before. He turns to look at Athena who is currently still trying to control her morning sickness.

“Do you..have a cloth? or anything that can wrap?” He asks.

Looking up at him, she even wonders. “Your face..why is so red?”

“Athena.”

Athena wants to laugh, but she is currently in no state to laugh at all. She unties a red cloth that she uses to wrap her katana’s cover.

“Is this okay?” She asks.

Zoro takes the cloth and nods his head. He went back to Rachael and help her to wrap her upper body.

“This should be okay, I think. I tied it a bit loose so that you wouldn’t feel pain.” He then lowered his eyes.

‘Now, how do I cover her lower part? Oh, she got a nice figure.’

“Err, thanks.” She turns her body to face him.

Upon seeing she turn her body, Zoro immediately holds her shoulder and turn her body back facing the other way.

“Don’t look at me.” He said trying to hide his red face.

“What? why?”

“Er..” He rubs his temple. “You’re ugly.”

She smacks him using her elbow to his torso and that makes him “Ooof.”

“Stupid.” She mumbles.

Zoro smirking behind her. He said again, ” I guard you here until your suit dry and after that, I will back to the seat inside the boat.”

“You don’t have to guard me, you can go now. Thanks.” She tries to make him go.

“Sorry, I don’t take orders from a young girl.” He leans on the boat wall and crossing his arm.

“Don’t look at my buŧŧ, you pervert. Do you think that I don’t know you look at my buŧŧ?” She growling.

Zoro was a bit surprised, he then moves his gaze to the sky. “I’m not.”

“Yeah right..” she rolled her eyes.

…

5 hour the total journey they take to arrives at the jetty because of the boat’s engine got a problem when the male snake attacking them before.

Once Athena got landed on the mainland, she was totally in no state can walk again. She was exhausted and hungry and in the meantime, she can’t even eat. Everything that she eats will end up throwing up.

“Can we find any clinic or bring her to the hospital first before we going back?” Zoro asks worriedly.

Seeing Athena so sick, his heart feels a bit painful too. He can’t just watch her like that.

“We can, but what are you gonna do if they ask about her blood color?” Ralph questioning him back. He knows Athena was sick, he tries to get them back to the mansion as early as he can, but in this state right now, he can only hope that Athena can endure it a little.

“But she..”

“Hey, relax..I’m okay..” Athena tries to stop both of them from bickering.

“Athena, sit up, drink this milk.” He gives her a bottle of milk that he buys earlier.

She takes the bottles and tries to drink it. Her stomach is empty and she also didn’t eat anything.

After a while, her throat still feels a bit of nausea. Rachael gives her mineral water and helps her. Looking at her sister-in-law, she feels sorry to her.

“Athena, please hold on. Once we’re going back, I’ll get your dose done.” Ralph said to her.

Athena smiling. Well, she’s not worried about the dose. What’s makes her worried is the baby inside her wȯmb. How is she gonna explain it to Aslan? To her family? What are they gonna say about it?

Aslan for sure did not want this child. Her family also in the same boat as him…But her? She wants this child. She has waited for this child to be in her wȯmb and when she is gifted with the child, another obstacle coming to their way. Why it is so hard for both of them to have a happy life?

“I feel drowsy, can I take a nap for a while and please wake me up when we’re home.” She said and try to sleep. She is lack of sleep and being pregnant, you need to get enough sleep.

Rachael nod and help Athena to lie down on her ŀȧps while waiting for the chopper.

Finally, after almost two-hour waiting, the chopper landing in their location ready to bring them home.
