Chapter 15 - THE Tristan (2/2)

Ralph and Delilah immediately froze when they heard the sound. Both of them turned around only to see Alicia fall off from her own bed. It must be because her sleeping position isn't as comfy as the previous way thus she end up rolling herself. Seeing she's still sleeping despite the hard floor, they both sighed with relief. It was only short while before Delilah shot him a glare and pinching his waist for taking advantage. She quickly move away and try to lift Alicia, putting her back to bed. Ralph follow suits when he saw Delilah weren't sure how to lift her up by not touching her scalding back. He try to adjust it the way Tristan did just so she would sleep comfortably.

”Do you want to stay here with me tonight?” Ralph asked although he's unsure if Alicia had a guestroom ready.

”No. Knowing her, she might won't like it if i know about her incident. You stay and take care of her. I want to see my sister back happy and well.”

”Okay. See you at home tomorrow.” He kissed her lips before instructing some of his bodyguards to send his wife home.

He took a quilt and a blanket he found somewhere inside the room and place it on the floor. The couch doesn't seem to fit if he slept there. Taking the small pillow that he can find as he settle himself to sleep.

That night, once again the same person enter the apartment without Ralph knowing. He frowned looking at Ralph sleeping like a dead person. He was supposed to look after Alicia. But it seems he's doing a poor job at it when Alicia once again fall off from the bed. He inwardly sighed. He gently picked her up and put her slowly on the bed before he pile up some pillows that he bought just now by her side. He then took off his suit and head for the bathroom to take a shower. It's been a long and busy day. However seeing her fall asleep, all that tiresome went away. After he freshen up, he felt like kicking Ralph when he still didn't realize he's here. Ignoring that stupid brother of hers, he took the ointment that he got from his master and apply it on Alicia's back gently. She shivers the moment her skin got into contact with the ointment. But her eyes are still tightly shut, as if sleeping is her only place to escape all the painful memory that she felt today. Finish applying it, he laid by her side and scoop her into his arm. She smile as she snuggled close to the place that seems comfortable to her.

”Hurt...” She mumble in her sleep. He looked down and she's still sleeping.

”What hurt?” He asked softly.

”Hurt again. They...” somehow she start sobbing in her sleep.

”Shhh,,, I'll be here. They won't come anymore.” He assured her.

”Mmmm..” And then it was quiet. Seeing her calm down easily, he release his breathe. In his eye, he was determined to get revenge for her. No one should dare to hurt what belongs to him.
