Chapter 31: Special Dessert
Rebecca, almost lost her bearing seeing the pitiful way Talia was calling out for Arthur. She had never seen her wearing her hearts in her sleeves much less seeing her acting in utter despair.
Tears had streamed down her face making her shirt wet, a drop of tear was still hanging from the top of her nose, her pretty eyes had reddened and were filled with desperation.
This was the first time Rebecca had seen her like this... Like a human. She always looked perfect like she was devoid of human emotions. But her heartbroken state only made Rebecca fearful for her.
Is it normal for her to get this tensed? He might be sleeping too deeply. Joe does this sometimes when he is too exhausted. He won’t wake up even if a dynamite blows up near his ears...
Plus, he might even be playing a trick on her... She is only calling out for him for only a minute or two now.
Or, if she is worrying this much, did he have an underlying condition that only Talia knows of?
Rebecca wondered if she should call the emergency services but before she picked up her phone, Arthur woke up.
Talia wiped her face in her sleeves and saw Arthur opening his eyes groggily and sighed in relief. He blinked his eyes a couple of times before squinting his eyes to see the figure kneeling in front of him and it took him a moment to realise where he is.
That was oddly a very deep sleep! But was this little thing that worried for me, enough for her to cry?
He held out his hand and wrapped his arms around her neck and hugged her close. She tried to struggle out of his grasp but he didn’t let her go. His entire body felt weak for him, yet his strength was greater than hers.
How pitiful is she?
