Chapter 119: Chapter 119

Mandy spend the night with Noor, though she is there, her heart is not there, she keeps checking her phone, if Lauren call will come in but he is not further coming.

Go to bed, stop checking your phone.

Silly, how do you know, I am checking my phone? Mandy asked, as she drop her phone then move to Noor to cover his chest, Noor pull her, making her fall on his chest. Noor!

Lie here, you don't want to spend the night on that chair, do you? Mandy never did thought about that, he just brought it to her notice.

Are you...

Yes, lie here, it's big enough for two people. Noor voice came up, she lie on the bed but too scared to even sleep with her two eyes completely close.

The next morning, Lauren didn't come out of the room, he didn't go to the office, when Nick is done with the food, he press his Telecom.

Master Lauren! The meal is served.

Trash it, I am not hungry. That was the words Lauren manage to say, he was in pain, he had developed cold, his face is all pale, the man had over worked himself, in other to forget Mandy but he ended up sick.

When it's noon, is like he can't feel himself anymore, he try to struggle from the bed but he just can't, stone hit on his door.

Sir Lauren! Your dad called, he said...

Just put it on voicemail. His voice is very low.

Sir! Are you...

I am fine, just don't want disturbance. His voice die off, but stone could understand that Lauren is not himself, he is just hiding it, he pick his phone and call Mandy, the young lady is fixing Noor drugs on how he is going to take it, her phone ring.

Excuse, let me take this. Noor nodded to her, she takes a few step from Noor. Hello!

Can you please come home. That was Stone first words.

Why?

I beg you, I don't think sir Lauren is fine, he is not out since last night, he didn't have dinner nor breakfast and I am sure, he is going to skip lunch also. Mandy end the call, she didn't give him any answer if she was coming or not, stone signed, if Mandy didn't come in the next one hour then Larry will be the solution.

Mandy are you alright? Noor asked.

Yes, I am fine, I need to check on something.

Something or someone? Mandy look at Noor, then her heart fog.

Please don't asked me who, I beg you. She said mentally.

Noor, I have to go. She finally said ignoring the question.

Will you come back? Mandy look at him and nodded, she grabbed her stuff in a hurry, she doesn't know, the severity of it, as she sit in the taxi, she felt like it's taking too long.

Mr! Please, increase the speed.

Alright ma!

Mandy throw money at him, she didn't asked for the balance, she race into the building, stone was about putting a car to Larry before he set eyes on Mandy, with the way Mandy is running, he could sense she is actually worried for Lauren as well.

She didn't throw her eye on stone, she rush in, going to Lauren room, it's lock, she hit on it.

I told you, place all of them on voicemail. Lauren said faintly.

Lauren open up, it's me. That voice is Mandy's, that one voice he wants to hear, he struggles from the bed, to take the door. I know you are in there, come on, open up. He finally open, Mandy's eyes goes on his body, he has Goosebumps, his vein on his forehead is showing green, he turned and walked slowly to the bed, Mandy follow behind him

Are you alright?

I am fine, what are you doing here? Mandy didn't reply that.

What is wrong with you? You look pale.

I just told you, I am fine. Lauren increase his voice, he try to stand again but he almost fall, Mandy grabbed his hand. Fine, I should tell Stone to get the doctor.

No oh! I don't want my mother here. Mandy look at him, he is getting more pale.

You don't want to see the doctor, you are sick, do you enjoy suffering, don't you think others also get affected when you reject treatment? Let me help you.

Sorry! He said, seeing Mandy's tears. I didn't eat through the day, yesterday and I am not used to it, skipping a meal is dangerous to my health and now, my stomach ache.

Lauren! Can you stop being stubborn sometimes? She said in frustration, Lauren didn't say anything, he is looking very pale, like nothing is left for him, Mandy hurry to get milk, that should be the first thing, he should take, then she will ask for help for the drugs, to subside his cold and burning.

When she returns, it's like Lauren pain had increase, he held on to his tummy as he shiver, so much pain, Mandy could admit that, the pain he is feeling now is different from the one he had when he takes those beating for her.

Lauren, here, you should have this first before your pills. Lauren open his eyes slightly, it's dark, Mandy get scared, he noticed then he closed his eyes, so her fear doesn't escalate.

He raised his head Abit making it rest on the headboard, then take from Mandy, she is watching his every action.

Let me help you massage your waist. Lauren doesn't want that, Mandy touching him, create stuff on his head and he doesn't want to take that torture. Will you relax, I am not doing anything to you.

Lauren decided to let her, since the pain is severe, it had make him have cramps, as she does that she too is getting affected with the act, Lauren press his lips together, to avoid him making silly sound.

He calmed himself, Mandy was done in a few seconds, she raised her eyes, only to see Lauren staring at her, she jumped from him, he chuckled, he kind of missed her, this little act of her had given him warm but his skin is still burning.

I will get towel and Water for your temperature. She left and return, she soak the towel in the water and press the water out, then place on Lauren's forehead.

Thank you! He said, still not moving his gaze from her.
