The Mermaid's Last Wish

Chapter 20 - Ferris Wheel

"Let's go out tomorrow." Riza was excited about going to the amusement park. "Erina, let's have a good day tomorrow." 

Erina was slowly closed her eyes as she was too tired for having a Physical Education class. Her head dropped on her desk and her friends panicked. "Erina, are you okay?" 

Gavin was about to move but Morpheus hurriedly went to her. She carried put his coat on her legs and carried her to the clinic. It was five in the afternoon when she woke up. 

As she opened her eyes, she saw the white painted wall around her and a small table beside her. She looked at a window near her and looked at her watch. It was time to go home.

"You're awake." The beautiful woman wearing a laboratory coat was smiling at her. She wore her simple and pretty make up that outlined her facial features. She was wearing a red dress that made her looked elegant. She gave her a medicine that would make her feel better. 

"What happened?" 

"You just overlooked about your health. Your blood sugar is about to drop but good thing it never happened. Just eat three times a day and please have enough sleep." She was really simple and a lady-like woman. 

Morpheus went to the clinic and asked Erina to be with him. "I want to go home with you." 

Gavin heard him that was why he left. 

The sunset was beautiful as Morpheus and Erina walked near the river. Just the two of them were there. The small black birds were flying to the nearby island. The sky was reddish orange. They stopped from walking as they watched the sunset turned into night. 

"This is so beautiful." Erina saw this for the first time. There were not times that she could be free from their palace for many years. 

"I still look at this whenever I miss my mom." Morpheus gave her drinks. 

"I think she's happy for being there for her." 

"Then, I'll let you to meet her." He smiled at her and drank the last drop of his drink.

The sunset made them feel good. They both walked again for Erina. 

"See you tomorrow." She waved good-bye at him. 

"Bye!" He was smiling while she was watching his back unitl she saw no more.

It made Erina tired for thirty minutes. She woke up from her bed and saw a sticky note on top of her notebook on the study table. 

"Have your dinner." She smiled and went to the dining room. She found vegetable salad and there, she found Gavin on the couch wearing his uniform with his shoes on. She put off his shoes. 

"Erina." Gavin held her hand when she was about to leave him. 

"You're hot." She touched his hand with her right cheek. "You're having a fever." 

She immediately called Mochi. "What should we do?" 

"Let's get help from grandfather." 

She shook her head. "No, he's tired for a day. We need to take care for the sick."
