Sold to the Ruthless Master

Lily’s Pov

After a long while, the doctor came out beaming with smiles and I became relaxed a bit.

“It’s the correct antidote, but the antidote is quiet strong for his already weak body, we will have to liquidate it and use it slowly for him”

“Oh!”

“It’s fine then”

“We’ve started using the antidote for him, it will take only a month for him to recuperate, after that, he will be discharged and the wheel chair will be given to him”

“Okay”I nodded.

“And this man look quiet unwell, can we admit him for the meantime?”She asked referring to Lucian dad. l who has been sitting down all the whole deep in thoughts.

“Sure, I would have ask other doctors to do that but I want you to handle it, take him with you”Daniel shrugged and she wall slowly to him.

“Sir, we need to administer some drugs to you, you look quiet unwell, can we go now”She asked quite politely and he only nodded.

“Okay, let’s go”

“I will send you home now to take care of yourself while I stay with Lucian, just have your bath, eat and have a good rest, you’ve stressed yourself enough”He said concerned and I only nodded.

“Wow, why can’t you call me, I’ve been expecting you since, it’s almost 5 pm, I was more worried about you because your condition”Mariam asked worriedly and I sighed.

“Seriously Mariam, Did you expect me to listen to anything or pay attention to your shouts when Lucian is coughing out blood in the morning”

“I understand you quite well, it’s fine though, I knew you must have been stressed out, I prepared your favorite already, just go in and freshen up”

“Alright, thanks, what about Chris?”

“He’s in his room playing games”

“Alright then”I nodded and walk to the bathroom to have my bath.

After bathing, Mariam served me food and cleared the whole food, she stare at me in surprise and I stare at her back.

“What is wrong?”I asked and she chuckled.

“The way you’re eating these days is very alarming”

“I can’t control it”

“Lily, I want to ask a question”

“Okay, what is that?”I asked licking the soup.

“Did you love Lucian”She asked and the spoon drop from my hand.

What kind is question is that?

Did I love Lucian?

Of c…

Wait.

Did I love him?

“I… I don’t know Lily”I said shyly and she sighed.

“From the look of things, you’re in love with Lucian, believe it or not but, I want to advise you ok something, Lucian isn’t the man you can stay with, he’s a devil, although, he’s might try to apologize to you but I want you to think twice before accepting his proposal, he’s not the normal man you can marry”

“I.. I…, I’ll try to get the feelings off my mind, thank you”I mumbled and she smiled at me.

“You’re welcome”

The next morning…

I pack the food into the bag carefully and Mariam help me clean the cabinet.

“Youre done?”She asked turning to me and I nodded.

“Okay then, The driver is waiting for you already”

“Okay, aren’t you going?”

“I will meet you guys there, I have to take Chris to school”

“Okay then, I will leave now”I said carring the bag and she nodded.

“Alright dear”

I got to the hospital and drag the heavy bag into his ward, I met him on a call and Daniel is with him already.

Wow!

I didn’t know he will recuperate fast, The antidote is really working.

“Good morning”I greeted and Daniel came to hug me.

“Baby girl, how are you doing?”He asked kissing my cheeks and I smiled.

“I’m fine”

“He’s really recuperating fast”I whispered staring at him and he smiled.

“Yeah, I didn’t expect that either”

“I brought you food, but you haven’t change your clothes, will you go home to freshen up first and come back to eat”

“Alright, I’ll do that”

“Dude, I’ll be back soon”He said and he nodded, he’s still on the call.

He walk out of the room and I walk closer to him on the bed, I open the bag and bring out three flask from the bag, I bring out a flat ceramic rush and scoop some quantity of rice into it, I add s chicken soup on it and place it on a tray, I realised he was staring at me all the time, I press my lips together and place it on his laps.

“Here’s your food”I point at it and he nodded.

He pick the spoon and start eating, after eating some few spoons, he stopped eating and I carried the tray on his laps and drop it on the table.

The nurse came to give him drugs and she was blushing heavily while administering the drugs to him.

God!

What’s wrong with them?

After some stupid moments, she left the room, I walk up to him and use the duvet to cover his legs, he suddenly grab my hands and pull me closer to his chest.

“Thanks”He said genuinely and I smiled.

“You’re welcome”

He suddenly move his lips to mine and tried kissing me but I swat my head away.

“Is there a problem?”He asked surprised and I shook my head.

“You need to sleep”I said ignoring him and he sighed.

“Li…”

“Sleep well”
