The Mermaid's Last Wish

Chapter 55 - Diamond Ring

Anabelle went to Erina's room, watching her sleeping and came near her. She put out an invisible diamond ring on her finger for she knew that she couldn't control her powers now that she have known her true identity. She was still unconscious since the day she was carried home by Gavin. 

She heard a knock from the door and hid herself on tue closet. She was peeping behind the closet and saw him putting a towel on a basin. He was taking good care of her for this moment. 

"I hope that you'll be awake tonight." 

Anabelle wasn't worried at all. She knew that in three days, she would gain her strength. 

"It's my fault for not protecting you." He was caressing her cheeks and went out of the room. 

"Just wake up, Erina." Anabelle whispered to her ears and went away. 

The time was to long for Erina to gain back her strength. She was shaking her head and began to have bullets of sweat. Her temperature was thirty -eight. Gavin rushed to her room and knocked.

"Erina, are you alright?" 

He wasn't having a respond from her that was why he gave a kick to the door. She fell from the bed and her body was covered by a quilt. He checked her pulse while she was breathing heavily. 

"I need water." The color of her lips was almost white so, he rushed to the kitchen to get her a glass of water. 

Georgie saw how worried he was and that was why she called Mochi to see his sister. 

Mochi was nervous when he saw her on the bed, breathing heavily. He stepped forward and touched her arms. "Erina." 

"I think that she's dying!" Georgie was panicking. Her heart rate was increased and her body began to sweat. Gavin hid his teary eyes to them. He looked strong at this time. 

Mochi have the courage to say that she needs some rest. Gavin was confused and told him, "I think that she needs it but I will not leave." 

"At her state, we can't leave her alone." Georgie crossed her arms and sat beside Erina. 

"I know but it's hard to explain." Mochi brushed his hair and went to the restroom to get a pail of water. He threw it on Erina's face and asked Gavin to carry her to the tub. 

"This is weird. Why do you want me to do this?" 

"This is right for her. She needs water." Mochi hid his sadness to them and turned his back. 

"What happened?" Gavin asked. That made Mochi to look back. He was expecting that her tail would come back but it wasn't. She really needs water after all. 

Erina became conscious after fifteen minutes. Her fever was gone now that she could move easily. She went up to ask Gavin on what had happened. 

"Mochi said that you need water." Gavin was seriously making a macaroni soup with chicken flavor. It smelled tasty and her stomach growled.
