Chapter 19: Taking Care of Him

Ella's POV

When I went out of the house to go to school, Aden is not waiting outside. That's odd. Maybe he is still at his house. He didn't text me. I will just go to Aden's house.

When I arrive, Aden's dad went out of the gate.

"Oh, Ella. Good morning. Are you looking for Aden?"

"Good morning, uncle. Yes, I'm looking for Aden,"

"Aden got a fever. He is in his room,"

"Can I go inside, uncle?"

"Ok, but you still have class. You will be late,"

"It's still early, uncle,"

"Ok. I will leave you to Aden. I cooked porridge and put it on his side table together with the medicine,"

"Ok, uncle,"

"I will take my leave. Thank you, dear,"

"No problem, uncle. Take care"

"I will,"

And I went inside Aden's house.

When I am inside, I went to Aden's room, and he is sleeping. I went to him and put my hand on his forehead. It's so hot. I think Aden got a fever because of the rain yesterday.

"Ella?"

"Oh, you're awake. Your dad said that you got a fever. I will inform our teacher about your condition. But first, you need to eat because the porridge is still hot, and then you can drink your medicine,"

"You're going to be late,"

"It's still early, Aden. Now, let me feed you,"

"Ok. I can't argue with you,"

Aden got up, and I feed him. After eating the porridge, I gave him medicine.

"I will recover soon because you took care of me,"

"Oh, stop. I will go now. You ok alone?"

"Uhum. I can take care of myself,"

"Ok. Don't forget to drink your medicine every after four hours,"

"Yes, ma'am,"

"Ok. I will check with you later. See you later,"

I went out and going to school.

Kim's POV

I am now inside the classroom. Ethan and I did not go together today because he has practice early this morning.

"Good morning, Kim,"

"Morning, Ella. Where's Aden?"

"Aden got a fever, so he is absent today,"

"Oh, ok,"

"Is Kim here?"

It's one of Ethan's teammates. Why is he looking for me?

"I'm here. What is it?"

"Ethan is in the clinic,"

"What happened to him?"

"He sprained his ankle,"

"Ok. I will be there,"

"What happened?" Ella said.

"Ethan is at the clinic. He sprained his ankle. I have to go check him,"

"Ok. It's not yet time anyway,"

"Be right back,"

I rushed to the clinic, and when I arrive, I saw Ethan putting an ice pack on his ankle.

"Let me,"

"What are you doing here? Classes will start soon,"

"I still have 20 minutes. One of your teammates went to the classroom to inform me about what happened to you. It's not that swollen. You should thank me that I went here,"

"Thank you,"

"That's more like it,"

When I'm done putting an ice pack, I said to see him later and kissed his cheek.

Fast forward, and classes are over. I went to Ethan's classroom. When I arrive, there are no students already and only Ethan inside. Ethan is about to stand.

"Grab on my shoulder,"

Ethan grab my shoulder, and when he is about to get his crutches, he suddenly stumbled, including me.

Ethan's POV

I sprained my ankle and rushed to the school clinic. I didn't know that my teammate called Kim and went to the clinic.

I was happy that Kim took care of me.

When Kim left, the nurse arrived a few minutes later. The nurse treated my sprained ankle and said that it would be healed for about a week.

When classes are over, I accidentally stumbled, and Kim also because I was grabbing her shoulder. Kim was on top of me, and I stare at her beautiful and cute face. I want to kiss her, but she got up.

"Let's get you up,"

Kim helped me to get up, and we walked.

"I'm hungry,"

"Want to eat outside?"

"Uhum"

"Ok. It's going to be my treat,"

"Yehey! Let's go!"

She's such a kid.

Aden's POV

My fever is already gone, and now I'm baking pancakes because Ella is coming here, and I bet she is hungry.

After some minutes, the doorbell rang. I opened it, and it's Ella.

"Just in time,"

"What's that smell? I'm getting hungry,"

"Great. Let's ea. I baked pancakes,"

"Pancakes? Wow. Wait. You don't have a fever anymore?"

Ella put her hand on my forehead.

"Oh, your fever's gone,"

"Yeah, what did I tell you this morning?"

"Yeah, yeah. I'm hungry. Let's eat,"

"Ok"

Ella and I went to the kitchen.

"Let me taste it,"

"Is it yummy?"

"It's super yummy,"

"Where's my reward?"

Ella suddenly kissed me on the lips. Only a smack.

"Let's eat,"

Ella and I ate happily.
