Chapter 35 : Feverish

                                    

                                          
I was lazy so I didn't touch the half-done Chapter 35. PLUS, I was also busy trying to adapt to my new school.
                          
When I was finally not lazy to write this chapter, my laptop died on me and I had to get a new laptop. (Thank god I saved a copy of this chapter) The new one had to be configured by my school's IT department because I'll be using it for school. Lots of problems occurred after configuring it.
                          
So after so long, here is the next chapter! This story has approximately nine more chapters to go and I am looking forward to the end of this story!
                          
Please pardon any errors you spot beyond this note. Alright…COMMENT and VOTE! 8D

Feverish

Estella glanced over at the door Sebastian disappeared behind a few minutes ago before turning back to the figure that was lying under the thick blanket of the spacious bed. Exhaling a tired sigh through her nose, she watched the heaves and falls of his chest which she noticed was much calmer after he was bathed by Sebastian. After the bath, the boy was changed into his striped pajamas and a medical white eye patch was now worn over his right eye instead of his usual black eye patch. He had regained conscious about half an hour ago and was now asleep.
                          
She let her eyes roamed his face briefly and released a sigh, letting a little smile curve her lips. The image of him looking fresher and less feverish was a relieving sight to see.
                          
Gazing tiredly at the boy, her eyes drifted down to her arms. She languidly raised a hand to start massaging her left arm before switching hands to do the same for the right one, in hope to ease the soreness in those limbs.
                          
Her arms were still slightly aching from the struggle she had to go through getting Ciel off her and up to his room.
                          
Earlier on when he suddenly fell forward, she was left flabbergasted. She was too stunned to stop Ciel from falling onto her. Caught up in her surprise, she only realized that he had sent her sprawling across the floor along with him when she found herself staring at the ceiling. She had a hard time trying to get him off her and had to struggle between carrying and dragging him to get him to his room.
                          
Was it because of last night? She raised her eyes to his face once again and studied him curiously. He fell sick because he gave up his cloak to protect me…Her hands curled into fists at the growing guilt in her. Thank you and I'm so sorry.
                          
A knock on the door broke the silence in the room and her thoughts. She tore her eyes away from the boy and swiveled them over to the door to watch Sebastian entering with a stranger who she quickly figured was the doctor they have been waiting for.
                          
With a respectful nod at the doctor, she quietly stepped aside as he approached the bed with Sebastian.
                          
"Is he the patient?" Leaning back against the wall, Estella watched the doctor settle on the chair Sebastian had placed before going down to fetch the doctor.
                          
She averted her gaze to the butler who gave a curt nod. "Yes. Please start, doctor." With that said, her eyes followed Sebastian as he turned around and strolled over to the spot next to her. A glance over at each other, both turned to watch the doctor carry out his examination in silence.
                          
….
                          
Estella watched Sebastian silently shut the door behind them.
                          
Sebastian turned to the doctor expectantly. "Doctor?"
