Chapter 22: LAST SUPPER

I looked at him in askance then looked at the blue wrap.

"Oh! These? I found them the other day when you had Lucy bring tea to me. Are they yours?" Gerard said nothing and just continued reading his book.

When I saw that he said nothing else, I didn't bother either. I took the book and began to read leaving the blue wrap on the table but I soon got tired of reading and dropped the book.

I leaned back and sighed in frustration. Why is he being so mean? Can't I just go and sleep? Besides, the sun is already setting and this would be a perfect time the sleep, or maybe not.

In my frustration, I took the blue wrap from the table and tore it open. Immediately I pulled out the balloon from inside, I could feel Gerard's gaze on me.

When I looked up, I noticed that his gaze was not on me but on the transparent balloon I was holding. Was he interested in playing with it or could it be that he doesn't like the sight of it?

When I thought of this, I immediately hide the balloon behind me and looked everywhere else except at Gerard.

"Did you necessarily have to bring it out of its wrap?" his voice was subtle as he looked at his book with utmost concentration.

"It's a balloon, everyone likes balloons and it's good to blow," I replied nonchalantly but that was the truth after all.

He looked up at me with an intense gaze. Did I say something wrong? But what could I have said wrong? Everyone likes it and it's good to blow. What was wrong with that?

Nevertheless, I dropped the balloon back and placed my head on the table. This is going to be the worse night of my entire life and I know it.

"You shouldn't sleep now. You haven't had dinner." I immediately raised my head at the mention of food and anxiously waited for the food to arrive or better still, should I go and help in the kitchen? No! The drama I caused this afternoon is already enough.

All the frustration in my eyes vanished and what was left was anticipation. Because I lost my appetite in the afternoon, I didn't eat much and just watched Gerard eat and now, I'm suffering the aftermath.

Soon, there was a knock on the door and two staff came in with a motion tray... I blinked twice and wondered why there was so much food. Was there a mini feast I didn't don't know about?

They served our food on the second table which was at a corner and was bigger than the study table. If only there was a family of four, the table would be perfect for a dining table.

Without waiting for him, I walked up to the table to see all the delicacies that were lined up there but when I got there, I was utterly disappeared and almost wanted to cry.

Why was the table full of fruits and porridge and not just any type of porridge, herbal porridge? Looking at the table, I felt like puking. I was really looking forward to a very awesome dish but this, this was like a mass burial or the last supper.

The displeasure was obvious on my face with my shoulders dropped and my mouth in a pout.

"Don't just stand there, take a seat." I wanted to decline and just go to bed hungry but this stomach of mine is my only hope and it suffers then I would suffer gravely as well.

Unwillingly, I sat on the chair and leaned back uninterested to eat anything. Gerard was already seated and was already eating.

"eat," he spoke but my hands refused to take this order. Why would I eat fruits for dinner and porridge as well? This was like watching the chainsaw massacre.

"Ayla..." he dragged my name making it sound stern and more like a warning.

"But I don't want to eat all these. The smell of the porridge is enough to turn this room into a hospital." I complained with my lips pouting and my hands folded on my chest. U really didn't want to eat this and even though my stomach begs me to, I still wouldn't. It's funny that my stomach isn't growling anymore. I think it also doesn't like what is been served.

Gerard dropped his spoon and clasped his hands together and placed his head on his knuckles.

From the table, he drew and brown file and waved it in front of me. I looked at the file and dint know why he decided to bring his work to the table maybe he also doesn't like that dish.

"Do you know what these are?" he asked not looking at me. And I wondered, how would I know what his work is all about? I might know when I read through it but for now, I'm not a magician.

After he didn't get a response from me, he decided to answer the question by himself.

"Thus file, contains your test results from the other day." immediately I heard his words, my attention immediately became fixed on the file and u was frightened that he had found out the truth about my condition.

I gulped down and became speechless. What am I going to say to him now? How am I going to explain this?
