556 Words
Damian hearing the scream immediately dropped his coffee and ran towards the direction of his wife's room,and so did the rest of the household. " What's going on? " He asked as he saw Diana who was already in tears whilst Rachael lay lifelessly on her arms. "Sir......I.......I.......She......." The maid stuttered continuously, more tears running down her cheeks. He walked to where Diana was and touched Rachael before withdrawing his hand back swiftly. She was burning up badly, almost as if she was on fire. "Call the doctor." He ordered and one of the maids scurried out of the door to do as he had said. He tried to feel her pulse but couldn't find it,she wasn't breathing either. "Please be alright, you can't die on me." He whispered solemnly. "Where the hell is the doctor?" He shouted at the others. "He's on his way,sir." Butler Francis answered. Soon the doctor arrived. She was taken to Damian's room where he commenced treatment on her and they were maid to wait outside. It took about an hour before he came outside. "Doctor, how is she? Is she alright?" He bombarded. "Come down Mr Knight. Your wife is fine, she's regained consciousness. Mr Knight, I hate to intrude but you need to start taking better care of your wife. She was discharged only yesterday and today she's down with a high fever. You both may have your problems with each other but that doesn't mean you should neglect her health. If this happens again, she might not be as lucky. I've given her some injections to stabilize her condition. Here are her prescriptions, get them from a pharmacy and make sure she takes them regularly. Also make sure she eats properly and avoids stress, so she can get back on her feet." The doctor cautioned. "Yes doctor, I'll do just that." Damian affirmed. "Good. I'll be on my way now,give me a call if anything else comes up." The doctor said. "Butler Francis please escort the doctor out." Damian ordered and Butler Francis left while the doctor followed behind. He entered the room and Rachael turned her head to his direction. "Your Majesty." She called weakly. "Ssh....Don't say anything. Just rest,you're not well." He cautioned. "Your Majesty, I feel so cold." She said weakly again. He turned off the air conditioner and went to sit beside her bed. "Is that better?" He asked. "Yes,but I still feel cold." She replied. Now looking closely, he could see she was shivering. He got into bed with her and held her tightly in his embrace. "That's better." She said with a weak smile. He called Diana and had her prepare some chicken soup. When she brought it,Rachael refused to drink. "Come on,Alicia you have to drink it so you can get better." He pressured. "No,I don't want to." She refused. "Don't make me get angry or I'll punish you." He warned playfully but Rachael knowing what the man in front of her was capable of, immediately opened her mouth. He smiled and fed her until the bowl was half empty and she complained of being full. He also made sure she swallowed all the medicines which the doctor had prescribed before cuddling with her and making sure she fell asleep.
