65 Complications (2/2)

”I have called Erica informing her that you're fine”, he turned and started stepping towards the sofa,” Do you want her to come here?”.

Seb knew that Erica will break down seeing her like that. But casting that aside as the excuse, she decided to use it for provoking Iven. He knows that Erica's presence will have him leave, and yet….

She kept staring at him and eventually her eyes started to turn in to a glare. Iven maintain the eye lock.

”Why ask me? Do as you please”, saying Seb turned her back at him and lied down still.

Iven had no able reply to that. He got up from his seat and just walked up to her. Seb could hear his steps.

”Belle….”, he called again.

Seb was expecting to get something out of that treatment, since Iven is the type who can't stand it. But yet, again everything was wiped off.

”….don't go to sleep yet”, he said,”….take the pills first”.

Based on Seb's personality, she is the one who couldn't stand it anymore. Pretending what she can't uphold for a long time, is beyond her ability. When she didn't pierce out Iven's usual self, it forced out herself instead! Immediately she jerked around and got up. Fuming at Iven, she burst out her cracked voice, ”I couldn't care less, even if I knew!!!”.

”Well I know”, Iven said without reacting, ”And you must”.

”I won't!”, Seb firmly denied.

”Stop being a brat and acting strong”, this time Iven pointed at her intense stubbornness of resisting medications as he had noticed earlier. His voice was fiercer than before.

”You….”, Seb started to raise her voice at him more, when suddenly her face changed its structure. Her eyes pressed close and her temple puckered as there was a pallor of pain spread all over them. She clasped her waist tightly and bent forward pressing her lips tightly shut. Heavy breath started escaping!

”Belle!!!”, Iven immediately placed beside her and wrapped his arm over her on the waist and holding her by the shoulder. His face keenly and genuinely worried. Her fingers started rubbing softly over her as it was a try to ease the pain.

”Please don't get worked up so much”, his tone was gentler and requesting, ”Calm down. I beg you, take the medications now and later I promise I'll listen everything you have to say. Okay?”.

The pain was deep and intense, because Seb's internals were damaged severely. She didn't dare defy him any further. She took whatever capsules he provided her with and laid back. But unfortunately, Iven still wouldn't talk. It is obvious it is related to the incident somehow, but the reason is unknown. Seb got patience less, but couldn't raise another tantrum lest it would trigger her pain more. She waited for him to approach her this time. But though he continued to avoid her she took his words for true.
