Chapter 74

JUNE

Kristin has been busy with work since we returned from a three-day trip to Dubai. It was on a weekend, so it didn't necessarily affect my studies. I only had to do most of my assignments over there.

We have been dating for a month now, and things have been good. Too good that I was afraid something might happen to shatter the happiness of the last month.

I found myself, looking behind me whenever we were out on a date, scared that someone might discover our secret.

I once voiced it out to Kristin, but he waved it off as me acting paranoid. And since then, I've tried not to say anything concerning it.

“Are you okay?” Mark touched my forehead, furrowing his brows as he did so. “Your temperature is high.”

“I know,” I placed my head on the desk, trying to keep my eyes open.

For three days now, I've been feeling sick. Most mornings, I have to drag myself out of the bed. And this morning, I vomited thrice just at the smell of an omelette.
