22: Kiss

Luna's POV

I went to Great Grandmother's house to give her a visit and tell her what had happened since it is all settled now she won't be stressed out. I am just kind of scared that grandma would get mad at me and be disappointed if my Mother-in-law says lies about me first.

I left Lewis with Lucas and I went alone to granny. Afterall Lucas is too tired because he worked too much these past few days.

The guards opened the door immediately when they saw my car and I thanked them for opening the gates.

Well speaking of the devil. My mother-in-law is really here with Qin Gizel.

I just sighed and knocked on the open door.

I saw grandma looking at me neutrally as if she does not know who to believe.. Well honestly I admire her for being calm at a time like this and not be fooled by Gizel by now because the wounds she is showing can be my doing. honestly it is a shame that I wasn't the one who did it. I could've done it better.

"Greetings, Granny." I said and put the cake I brought on the table.

"Lulu, Will you explain what is happening here." Granny asked, confusion is all over her face.

"I was going to tell you about it granny but it seems like they already did." I said with trace of sarcasm in my voice.

I honestly do not want to be enemies with my mother-in-law but she kept crossing the line.

"I don't believe what they said, Lucas wouldn't harm others without valid reason." Granny said and crossed her arms and legs.

I looked at Gizel who is looking pitiful again but she just dodged my gazes.

I told granny everything that Lewis told me and she is convinced that it is not our fault.

"Mother, Why won't you believe us? Why do you have to ask her again? Why do you always favor her more than me? Why don't you ever believe me? Was it because I am not your real daughter and I'm just your son's wife?" Mother-in-law asked while crying..

I can't help but sigh and let them talk.

Both me and Gizel is quiet but she is rather nervous.

"It is all because you're wrong." Grandmother said plainly..

"Why do you always believe others without evidence? There is no evidence that Lewis did not hurt Gizel and harmed the school's property." Mother-in-law tried to justified.

"Then do you have any evidence that your daughter-in-law and grandson did something so vicious? You're too easy to believe someone and take sides even if you don't know everything at all and it is all because you do not like your daughter-in-law." granny angrily slammed the table which made Gizel startled.

"You are just like me mother! You never listened to me!" Mother-in-law shouted while crying

"You may be right, But our differences is I already know what happened before I asked you a question." Granny said as if she is referring to an specific event.

"I kept saving you from shaming yourself but you never learn. From now on, I won't do anything about you anymore. But if it harms our family I'll take care of you myself." Granny said and slammed her walking stick to the ground.

The guards immediately rushed to the room and grandma ordered them to escort Mother-in-law and Gizel out.

Before they left I stopped them.

"Mother, Regarding Lucy's issue. I mailed you the evidence you asked and I also sent you the evidence you are asking for just now."I said and let the guards take them away.

I sat beside granny and tried to calm her down.

"Sorry granny, me,Lewis and Lucas gave you a lot of stress lately." I said worriedly and tapped her back for her to calm down.

"I don't mind it, in fact I feel like my life has been eventful lately I feel much alive." Granny said with a worried smile.

"Don't worry granny, I'll make sure to make you happier instead of giving you stress." I just said with a smile. Afterall she is so nice to me, How can I not make her happy?

Granny gave me a head pat and smiled at me.

"By the way, You said that you are planning to build a restaurant. What are you going to do now?" Granny asked.

"Honestly granny, I have decided to let my sister Kindred to handle and build it instead. It was always her dream. I will be busy about different things in the future so I wouldn't have time for it." I answered.

I do not have time to make this city my playground. I have to save my mom and I have to come up of all things I can without getting caught. It would be weird if they knew that I am being too obsessed with someone Luna does not know.

I haven't forgotten my mom. I have to save her somehow and that also means that I do not have much time to stroll here.

"I understand." Granny just said and held both my hands.

After a while I bid goodbye to granny because I still need to go home early because my husband had a long day working for 20 hours and I do not want him to wake up without food ready.

Granny understood me so she let me go early.

I drove back home immediately and I got to know that Lucas is still sleeping while Lewis is playing in his room.

I cooked the food and asked Lewis to eat. Luckily he is an obidient little kid so I did not suffer making him eat.

I decided to get a tray to deliver food to Lucas. I am very careful because it is porridge and it can spill everywhere. Obviously I don't want that to happen.

When I entered the room I saw Lucas looking weird. He is sweating but it is cold inside. I immediately walked towards the bed and sat on there then put the food on the counter beside the bed.

He looks very uncomfortable. I put my right hand on his forehead and my left hand to my own to check his temperature. He is boiling hot

"L-Lucas!? Are you still alive? Should I call the hospital?" I asked him nervously since he is still concious.

"No!" He weakly shouted. He immediately grabbed my hand and held onto it tightly.

"You're boiling hot. We need to call the doctor." I insisted but he kept saying no so I had no choice but to take care of him myself.

I asked someone to bring cold water and clean towel to Lucas room so It can help to cool Lucas down.

"Mrs.Ashford, Here is your towel." The maid said and immediately left the room.

I locked the room because I'm afraid that Lewis will come inside and catch a fever as well.

I pressed the towel into his forehead gently in order to cool him down and calm him at the same time.

I realized that I still have to take off his clothes and wipe him off or else it is not effective at all.

I undid his tie and button step by step and he grabbed my wrist

Well will you look at the audacity of this guy.

"Only my wife can touch me." He said angrily.

I shook off his hand and told him I am his wife so he calmed down.

I finally finished undoing his clothes. His perfect body is too hot.. No pun intended.

I wiped his abs- I mean body gently over and over to cool him down.

Soon, his fever started to drop and I was going to leave but he is holding my hand too tight I had no choice but to stay >/////< (I definitely did not plan this)

I slowly fell asleep without even me knowing it.

I woke up and saw that Lucas is already awake massaging his head.

"Is your head aching?" I asked him.

He looked at me with shock but he tried to remain calm.

"No not at all." He said nervously.

It is obvious he is lying. argh.. I wanna sleep but no one would make money for me if he fell ill I cannot afford that loss.

I looked at his first aid kit and saw a paracetamol so I took it. It should be enough to make his fever disappear.

I extend my hand and tried to hand him the medicine but he just looked away to medicine and covered himself with bedsheet.

I rolled my eyes and gave him a look of disbelief. How can a grown-man still not able to feed himself a medicine.

I can't believe this dude.

I tried to make him drink his medicine but he keeps hiding in the bedsheets.

"You know what? I had enough!" I said and pulled the bedsheets out of the way then grabbed his clothes so he could face me.

I put the medicine in my mouth then drank some water. I kissed him with tongue and then forcefully made him drink his medicine. ofcourse I did not stop until I felt him swallow it.

after that, I immediately move my head away from his. He catched his breathe because I caught him off guard

He did not say anything after it which made everything awkward but I am too sleepy I don't even want to talk about it.

I took 2 of the pillows and went to the sofa 6 feet away from the bed.

It is a sofa bed so it is not that uncomfortable.

"I am sleeping here so I won't catch your cold. Get well soon." I just said and straightly went to sleep.
