Chapter 122 - Sickness Prone

"W-why..are you..h-here?" He stuttered like an old man, looking so weak.

I wanted to scold him for being a stubborn. He won't be sick like this if he just told me that he doesn't feel well.

I know yesterday that he's exhausted and I just thought that he only needs a fucking rest but I guess I'm wrong. He should've not picked me up yesterday so he could go home immediately.

Damn Noah.

"Of course, to take care of you.. You're so stubborn and I want to scold you for that right now. But you're still weak to take all my words so I'll just put that aside for now." I glared at him and placed my palm on his forehead.

It's still hot but a bit okay now. Earlier, his fever was so very high that I almost took him to the hospital. If he just didn't asked me not to, he's probably sleeping on the hospital bed now.

"Why didn't you tell me? Do I looked like I can't take care of you?"

I sighed and gave him a sad look. I'm still thankful that his condition isn't that worse. I will stay with him tonight whether he likes it or not. I won't leave until he feels better.

"N-no..I just don't want you to w-worry.." He slowly shook his head.

"And you made it worst!"

I placed another damp towel around his forehead again and went to the kitchen to make some porridge for him. I researched on the internet if what food should I make for a sick person and this is the top recommended.

I just hope that it taste good since this is my first time. I don't expect it to be good as I watched.

I also put some chicken meat and spring onion to the soup so it would've taste better. After cooking it, I place it on a white bowl and put everything on the tray. When I'm done, I went inside his room and saw him sleeping again.

I placed the tray on the side table for a minute to feel his temperature and I'm relieved when it's not as hot as earlier. I went to the bathroom and leave the basin and the towel there. He needed to eat now since its dinner time.

"Hey, baby.. Wake up," I patted his arm gently so he wouldn't get startled that much. "Come on, you need to eat your dinner.."

He moved his body and it's the sign that he's now awake. I bit my lower lip as I looked at his weak body. He slowly opened his eyes and smiles when he saw me.

"H-hey.." He muttered in a low voice.

"Can you sit? So you could eat properly, baby." I wanted him to feel comfortable eating.

He nodded and tries to support his weight with his arms but he's too weak to do that. I stood up and helped him sit comfortably.

"You need to eat and drink your medicine Noah. You won't get better if you're stubborn," I warned and gave him a strict gaze so he wouldn't dare to refuse it.

"I know baby..I'm not complaining either," He smiles.

"Good. And don't expect that this porridge was good. I'm not expert on making this,"

"Yeah, Ma'am." He nodded and the corner of his lips rose up.

He's trying to suppress his laugh. It's just funny that it's so obvious in his expression. But since he's sick, I need to treat him well.

"Tell me if it's hot," I blow the spoon with porridge, so he could eat it warm.

"I have a hand baby. I can do that," He tries to get it from me but I took it away.

"Don't be stubborn and just do whatever I say." I glared at him so he just shut his mouth and looked down.

"I'm not angry. I just wanted to take care of you,"

I want to remind him that so he wouldn't feel like I'm angry at him. Just a bit disappointed because he didn't tell me about it. I'm not that heartless to ignore him. He's just stubborn.

"Can I brush after this?"

I chuckled to his question. Seriously? Does he had to ask me that? Was he that afraid of me, so even brushing his teeth he would still ask for permission?

"Of course, you can." I smiled. "Do you want me to brush your teeth?"

His eyes widened. "No way! I can manage, Raine."

He looked so embarrassed and honestly I'm willing to do that if he wants. There's nothing wrong with it. He's just too shy.

"I know. But just in case you want--"

"No."

He eats the last spoon of porridge so I gave him some water to drink. After that I also gave him one slice of apple so he would still have some fruits on his body.

"Here," I gave him his medicines and he really took it without complaining.

I was thankful that this guy's really attentive and behave. He's not pain in the ass unlike his brother.

That asshole.

I greeted my teeth as I remember what he said earlier. He doesn't even know that his brother was burning hot earlier! He didn't even go and check him until now. What if Noah dies in his fever?

He's so stupid!

"Your brother didn't even go here. That freak!"

"He's busy.." Noah answered.

"What?" My eyes turn to him. "Did he found a job?"

He nodded and my eyes widened to that. Vin was accepted?

"Who's that stupid company who hired him?" I asked, I'm really curious.

I heard Noah's small chuckles while still careful with his moves.

"Our dad." He simply said.

"Oh. So he hired him?"

He nodded. "Vin's the director of our company before.."

"WHAT?!"

And I am more startled to that revelation! Why did he become unemployed then? Did he quit or his father fired him? Is it a bit odd that Mr. Steven kicked out his son?

"Vin wanted to go with me before because, just like me. He's also being pressured by our father." Noah added. He even smiled like he reminisced the past.

"I didn't know that..wow.." I shook my head. I can't believed it!

Vin looked like he doesn't have a plan for his future! He's always annoying and I always rant for his existence. I can't believed what I just knew about him..

"A few weeks after I left the company, he went to my shop wearing his corporate attire and that's the time you met him. But in a wrong timing," he chuckled. Yeah. I remembered how I mistook him before for Noah and he really took advantage of that to annoy me.

"He quit his job and be free like me.." I swallowed hard as I watched him get emotional. "He said that he wanted to be like me. Fearless. But unfortunately, he never had his luck after everything."

He laughed after that so I also joined him. Vin's really unfortunate to every job he tries to apply before. That guy's weird that's why no one hires him. He wanted to take the bottom part but the company wants to give a higher position which made him reject all of it.

Yeah. He's weird just like his brother. But weirder than Noah.

"That fucker messed up. He became a loser before but I'm amazed with his self-confidence. He's so brave to face the hardship."

"It's because, he can see you.." I replied.

He turn his eyes on me and smiles. That's smile is my weakness.

"What do you mean?" He touched my chin.

I blushed when he stared at my face with so much affection in his eyes.

"He adore you so much and you became his motivation since he can see that you're also fighting the hardship in life.."

His face looked startled to what I said. I was observing him when I have the time before and I only care for his well-being and to the condition of his shop so I really tried my best to help him grow.

I can see how determined and passionate he was when he's working before and I admired him for that. He's sometimes stupid but you'll be amazed with his good heart.

"I think you liked me eversince you worked on my shop." He pursed his lips.

My eyes widened and immediately hit his arm a bit. What an arrogant brat!

"You're not sure," I smirked. I wanted to tease him.

His face darkened but still weak. How funny that he can't even shout because he's too weak to get even.

"Why? Do I Iooked terrible when you first saw me?" He smirked also.

Wow. He looked like he's not sick anymore!

"Yeah. It's funny that you always drink which made you looked like a freakin' old man before." I laughed so hard and it just made him blushed.

"It's because I have a problem," He rolled his eyes.

"Oh. Really? And what kind of problem is that?" I reached his face and he immediately glared at me. "Broken hearted, huh?"

"Raine." He warned.

"What?" I asked innocently. Well, he started it.

"Don't try me. It's already in the past. Why bring up that now?" His brows furrowed.

Well. I just thought about it because he's the one who mentioned the past!

"You started it! I'm just continuing what you started.." I smirked.

"Stop teasing me." He looked away.

"I will, if you kiss me."

His face looked startled as his eyes grew wider.

"I can't. You'll get infected." He shook his head.

"I don't care!" I tried to kiss him but he immediately stood up so I got worried when he stumbled.

"I'll brush my teeth, then." He immediately went to the restroom and leave me alone there.

He's cute.
