LOGINNATHALIE’S POV đ
–
“Thanks, Doc.” I said this to Dr. Enriquez as we stepped out of Xander’s isolation room, right after he assured me that my son was in stable condition and I didn’t need to worry.
“Not at all, Ms. Davies. I must take my leave to visit Mr. Calix.”
I nodded, and right as he left, Harrison arrived.
“What did Dr. Enriquez say?” Harrison asked as
NATHALIEâS POV đ-After I put Xander to sleep and sent a message to Tyler, I went downstairs to see â to talk Calix.I caught him talking to someone on his phone.âYes, I received my vitamins. Pictures? Do you want pictures now? The actual contents? Okay, wait a moment.âCalix removed his phone from his ear and pressed something on it. I think he ended the call.He stood up and took the vitamins he always took twice a day, from the cabinet.I quietly went to the living room and sat on the couch while watching Calix take pictures of his vitamins.I think he had already sent the pictures to Veronica so he hid the vitamins.When Calix faced me, he paused for a moment on his way back to the couch the moment our eyes met.âCould you get the first aid kit too? Iâll replace the bandage on your hand.âHe fetched the first-aid box from the open cabinet with no cover, and walked up to me.As he sat close by, I began tending his small scratches and cuts.âHow was your day?â I asked to break th
NATHALIEâS POV đ-After Tyler and I finished exchanging our usual text messages, I replied to Averyâs messages.'Sorry Ave, if I only texted this morning. Xander and I are fine, donât worry. Iâm also sorry if you postponed your return in Florida because of me. I think I can meet you tomorrow.'She replied, 'You donât have to apologize. At least I have a reason to stay longer in this president suite. HAHAHAHA. My flight to Barcelona is in four days, so I still have plenty of time.'I replied, 'Thanks, Ave.' then I put my phone down on the bed-side.I sprayed alcohol on my hand first then gently woke Xander up.âMy little one, wake up. Itâs breakfast time.âI gently patted his arm.âMy little one, itâs time for us to eat.ââMommy?ââItâs me, My litte one.âHe opened his eyes. He was still blinking and then rubbed his eyes.âOops, my little one,â I gently hold both of his wrists. âYou canât do that.â I said, but I wasnât sure.Iâm not sure if he can wipe his eyes without having washed
NATHALIE’S POV đ-Right as I walked back into the living area, Harrison had sat there, toweling his wet hair.“This is more tiring than I expected.”Besides the kitchen, he cleaned the entire living room, except where Calix slept.After that, he took a shower and used Calix’s clothes.“Here, I prepared something for you.” I put down the chicken sandwich and orange juice. “Sorry this is all I can offer for you.” then sat down.He took the chicken sandwich and his eyes widened at the first bite.“Why? Is the filling spoiled?”Harrison shook his head then drank and swallowed, “It just surprised me how identical this filling is to Auntie Margaret’s. You got exactly the taste of her special recipe.”“Actually, it took me a while to get the same taste as that spread…” and then I told him h
NATHALIE’S POV đ–As I opened the front door, Harrison fixed his gaze on my face, my cheek.“F*cking b*llsh*t! Why is your face that flushed, and what’s this damn wound on your way lips?” His eyes dropped for a moment before he demanded furiously once more. “How come your neck is so red, as if…! Was it Calix who hurt you like this? Where is that son of a bitch? I’m going to f*cking k*ll him!”“Harrison, take it easy with what you say. Someone might hear you,” I reminded him.“I’m going to show them exactly what I’ll do to that damn bastard! Where is that fvcking jerk?!”I didn’t argue anymore and my earthly body was tired.“Come in first.” I said then he entered. &l
NATHALIE’S POV đ–Fear took hold of me so completely I stayed rooted in place.He snatched up the chair he’d just tossed down and bashed it against the fridge.“Calix!” I cried out, torn between alarm and dread.I ran for the kitchen, but the moment I reached the door and gripped the handle, I stood rooted to the spot once more.Calix kicked the ruined chair away and grabbed a new one.I’ve seen him like this before... but this is the first time I’ve seen it personally.Shoving aside my uneasy feelings and fear, I went inside the kitchen.“Calix!”Slamming the chair made me leap with fright and surprise.He dropped the broken chair and turned toward me.
