((( CLAIRE )))
"I mean you look cute at being a caregiver."
"Why so?"
As his revenge, he filled the spoon he was about to feed me with.
"Choke on this."
"Don't fill the spoon." I shook my head.
He was silent.
And instead of doing what I said, he ate it.
"Look who's hungry," I smiled again.
"Eat your share."
He wolfed on his food using the same spoon he fed me with.
"That's my spoon!"
"So what?"
For all I knew Zhio, he wouldn't do the things he's currently doing. In a blink, all the impressions I had of him changed positively. Was he really like that when he's genuinely in love and worried?
Amidst those thoughts, my sight reeled again. I laid back to the bed to ease the swirling sensation.
"Claire? Are you alright?"
I shut my eyes tight.
"I'll call a doctor okay?"
(ZHIO)
I put the cutleries down and removed the small table from the bed. Claire looked in pain and I have to see Eriez as soon as possible to know what possible sickness she has.
"Bring a doctor to Claire's room."
The nurse nodded at my words.
"And take me to Eriez."
"Please follow me," she walked ahead through the hallway.
I felt queasy at a question that popped into my head…
What were Eriez's findings say?
(CLAIRE)
It has been a while since I was like this.
If I have a serious illness, I'd hate to know.
Am I dying?
The whole room was twirling and little movements made it more difficult to bear. I felt nauseated yet again.
I sprinted to the bathroom and just like that, all the foods I ate earlier spilt in the toilet bowl.
(ZHIO)
Eriez was taken aback at the sight of me. He's not really surprised that I was there but more likely because he's just overwhelmed by excitement.
What was it that he's excited about?
He just smiled and he took me to the lounge beside the lab. He snatched a bottle of chardonnay from the little wine rack and offered me to drink. Even at the hospital, they were keeping a stock of wine? Wasn't that forbidden?
"What's that for?" I raised a brow at him as I took my seat.
"For your success."
