18. Sick

SOPHIA CASTILLO

I took care of Adrian all through the day when he refused to call the doctor. I had to get warm water and a towel later to help reduce his fever.

In no time, he was able to sleep peacefully.

I fell asleep with my head on the bed while I sat down on the floor.

By the time I woke up, Adrian was awake and he was staring at me with a questioning look on his face.

"You took care of me?" He asked and I nodded my head before yawning with my arms stretched out.

"Are you still feeling sick? If so I'd call a doctor for you. I didn't call any because of your request not to," I told him getting up from where I sat.

"Who asked you to take care of me?" He asked in a cold tone and I felt my stomach sink.

"You were shivering and so I thought it would be the right thing to do," I told him.

"Right thing to..." He sneezed.

"Are you okay?" I hurried to check his temperature.

"I checked your temperature last night and your fever was gone so..." I attempted to place my hand on his forehead
