“Adia what’s the meaning of all these” Sebastian asked holding her bloodied hand,
“I don’t know..” she stuttered trying to control her hard cough that was threatening to choke her to death.
“How long has this been going on?” He suddenly asked picking up a napkin as he wiped off the blood from her palms, giving her another to put over her mouth.
“I don’t know, this has never happened to me before…” Adia lied,
“Don’t lie to me Adia” his voice thundered as he dropped the bloodied napkin angrily on the dashboard of his car, as the car shook violently making Adia tremble at the strong impact.
“I swear I don’t know..” she stammered, if she told him that this had been going on, not only would he get very pissed at her, he would also shorten their trip and return back to his home in britaris.
“Seriously Adia, are we doing this?” He frowned at her lies. He could tell she was lying by the look on her face, and her pale appearance says it all.
“I swear…”
“Don’t you f*cking lie to me Adia..” his voice thundered as Adia froze, now he’s really mad at her, his once beautiful metallic gray orbs has now been replaced with untold fury, like he wanted to murder someone.
“How long have this been going on Adia?” He asked again, this time with a stern and low voice.
“And don’t even think of lying this time, cause you’ll not like me after that” he warned as Adia gulped loudly, his Aura right now is so terrifying that she wouldn’t dare and lie to him, because the Sebastian she knows doesn’t make empty threats.
“This morning..” she finally revealed,All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Right after I finished breakfast, I felt this unsettling feeling in the depths of my stomach, and also felt a lump at my throat. I began to cough vigorously, then this ..” she pointed at the bloodied napkin in his arms.
“Why didn’t you tell me?” He questioned in a low voice.
“Because I didn’t want you to be worried about me..” she mouthed, bending her head low.
“Are you kidding me, I’m not the one who’s sick, the least I can do now is help you worry, you can’t keep such a thing to yourself..”he uttered, she’s already dying, but it’s so soon, they never predicted this to happen this soon .
“I just felt the need to do so, you’d definitely over react like this..” she stuttered shifting uncomfortably, as she felt his hard gaze on her,
“Overreact..” he smacked his lips distastefully as she glared at Adia. Can she even hear herself?, If he did not find out about this today. She must have probably kept on hiding it from him and not tell him.
“Yes, but I’m sorry, okay, I promise not to keep anything from you ever again, I just didn’t want you to cut out vacation short and you might refrain from helping Logan and focus all your attention on me..” she tried explaining her own point of view, but none of the things she said even mattered to Sebastian, neither did he even listen, the only thing on his head now, was how to go about Adia condition, nothing more.
“Well you’re right, because we’re returning back, right away and don’t even think of stopping me..” he warned starting his car, zooming off In a haste, as Adia kept on breathing deeply, she doesn’t want to leave , not yet, she’ll have to persuade him no matter what.

“Sebastian, Adia, what brings you here?” Celeste was surprised to see the both of them walk into the sitting room, she thought Sebastian said he was not coming home soon, not until the day of Logan’s validation.
“We’re leaving, tell the maids to pack our bags..” he announced as Celeste froze. What is Sebastian talking about? And why does he look so angry?
“Why are you.. Adia..” She averted her attention to Adia who was just walking in, looking like a shadow of her own self, something must have happened to them, and it’s definitely not good news, she thought, reaching out for Adia, as she stretched out to embrace her.
“Mother..” Adia burst into tears immediately, Celeste held her, she couldn’t control her emotions anymore, Sebastian was acting out of it, when did he suddenly become this angry, his reaction was far worse from what she expected.
“What is this Sebastian? What’s all this?” She asked her son, helping a sobbing Adia to sit.
“Not now Celeste, we’ll be leaving in an hour’s time..” he stated in a stern and serious voice, anger blazing in his eyes.
“I don’t want to leave..” Adia spoke out holding Celeste tight,
“I’m not going anywhere..” she added,
“What happened Sebastian, why did you want to leave all of a sudden?’ Celeste questioned Sebastian.
“To get her treated..” cane his curt reply,
“Why? She can get treated here, I can arrange for the best doctors, and why does she need treatments?” Celeste wondered taking another look at Adia, something was definitely off about her.
“Because she’s been throwing out blood since morning..”
“This is bad..” Celeste mumbled taking another look at Adia, as she shook her head
“And the only solution you could find is leaving this place right?” She asked softly,
“Yes” he replied, it’s obvious her time is near, she’s dying and with time it will only get worse, She’s going to be in a lot of pain, he’s going to contact Arion later in the day, and hear from him, of Arion has not yet found anything, he’ll have to send his men over there, and search for a witch, even if he has to turn the whole of Orleans upside down.
“Then that’s not the solution to this son..” she began, anger never solves anything, it only worsens situations.
“That’s for me to decide, ” he spat, glancing at Adia, who was seated beside his mother.
“Are you alright?” He asked, sensing something was not right.
“I.. I..” Adia began stuttering.
“I don’t feel good..” she stammered in a very low voice, as Sebastian quickly spee to where she sat, Celeste turning immediately to hold her.
“What is it?..” she questioned anxiously.
“I don’t feel good mother..” Adia gasped and the next moment, she suddenly threw up a large amount of blood.
“What’s all this?” Sebastian asked horrified, as he stared at his bloodied hands and floor, not only was the blood she threw up much, it was also black in Colour leaving him puzzled.
“I can’t breathe Seb..” Adia gasped feeling out of breath, she felt so weak and it felt as if her body was failing her.
“Hold on, mother call the doctor..” Sebastian said hurriedly, picking Adia up in his arms, as Celeste froze, did Sebastian just call her mother, she hasn’t heard that in ages.
“Hurry..” his voice rang in her ears, as she quickly snapped out of it. She’ll think about that later, now it’s Adia she needs to worry about.
