Chapter 24 - The Auntie

Kira turned as soon as Gaile's car drives away.

"I can see that she knows a lot about you," Kira said coldly as she turns away from Tim.

"Yeah, we've known each other since we were young," Tim replied as he scratches his skin.

"Ah, so that is why you just let her touch your body," Kira replied with annoyance.

"And it seems like you're enjoying her company, why didn't you marry her instead?!"

Kira releases all her annoyance to that woman!

She doesn't like the way that woman looks at Tim, she doesn't like the way she laughs to Tim's story, and she doesn't want that woman to be near to Tim!

She felt like she's going to snatch Tim away from her and she doesn't know why she's feelin' this way!

Tim silently listen to Kira while scratching his skin, he is having difficulty to breathe but he did not mind it!

He walks closer to Kira and embraces her from behind, "I'm sorry," He whispered.

"I'm sorry if I've been insensitive to what you feel."

"Gaile is just a friend of mine, she's just a little sister to me," Tim said.

Kira's annoyance slowly faded when she heard Tim's word.

"You... You don't like her?" She asked.

"Nope!" Tim said in between his deep breathing.

Kira notices Tim's strange breathing, she quickly removes his arms from her waist and turns to face him.

And she was shocked to see Tim's reddish skin!

"H-Hey... Y-Your..." Kira suddenly remember what Gaile said during the dinner!

'Tim has allergies to shrimps!'

Kira gasps!

"Ohmo!"

"You're having an allergy reaction to the shrimps!" Kira blurted out.

"Oh!"

"I-I have difficulty breathing," Tim replied in a faint voice!

Kira instantly gets rattled!

"W-What should I do?!" Kira asked worriedly.

"P-Please take the epinephrine on my medicine kit," Tim struggles to breathe!

Kira instantly runs to take the medicine kit and took the syringe with medicine.

She is rattled and her hand is trembling!

Kira hurriedly get back to Tim, 'What should I do?'

All in Kira's mind is to save Tim!

She dug the syringe on Tim's arm and push the bulb to eject the liquid to Tim's body.

"Tim just hold on, I will bring you to the hospital!" Kira said worriedly.

-------

Tim is lying on the bed, and he seems like he is sleeping.

"I have already told him to avoid this kind of foods, why did he still eat?" The doctor mumbled.

Kira lowered her head, she felt guilty, if she did not offer that shrimp to him, this might have not happened to him!

" It's good that you've injected him the medicine that I gave him, in case something like this happens." The doctor said.

The doctor faced Kira, he took a note from the nurse behind him and gave it to Kira, "This is the list of food that he should avoid."

"Alright, doctor!" Kira said as she took the note from the doctor.

"I shall take my leave now." The doctor got out of the room.

Tim just pretended to be asleep, but the fact is, he is just listening to the doctor and Kira's conversation.

Tim opens his eyes slightly and secretly looked at Kira, but Kira caught him!

"Hey!" Kira hit Tim's arm!

"Awh!" Tim cried!

"Why did you do that?!"

"Do, what?" Tim acted like he doesn't know what Kira mean to say.

"Why did you eat shrimp when you know you have an allergy on it?! Do you know how you made me scared?!"

"I thought something bad would happen to you!" Kira seems like crying.

Tim smiled as he listens to Kira.

"Why are you smiling, huh?!" Kira asked sternly.

"Is there something funny?!" Kira is still mad!

"Are you happy to see me got rattled, and doesn't even know what to do?!"

"No," Tim stared at Kira, "I'm just happy to know that you're worried about me," Tim replied.

"..."

Kira is out of words for a moment...

"I-I'm not worried about!"

Kira tried to hide her concern.

"I just feel guilty, because I was the who give you that shrimp!" She said and then she walks out of the room.

Tim's smile widened, "You're not a good lier, sweetheart!" He mumbled.

---------

In the garden of a mansion, a woman in her late fifties is sitting in the chair.

A servant is massaging her back while she is reading a magazine.

She is still beautiful and youthful even in her fifties but she looks unapproachable because of her stern look.

She is Madame Gezel Madrigal, Tim's Aunt.

Gezel's phone ring.

She tilted her head and looked at her phone on the table before she picks it up and checked the caller's ID.

Madame Gezel swiped her phone and answers it.

"Gaile dear, why did you call auntie?" Gezel asked in a sweet and calm voice.

"Hello, auntie."

Gaile greeted Madame Gezel.

"How are you?" She added.

"Oh! I'm fine dear."

Madame Gezel replied.

"It's good to hear that!" Gaile said.

"Anyways, Auntie have you heard that Tim has already got married?" Gaile asked.

This is her main reason why she called auntie Gezel!

It's to tell her that Tim has got married without her approval.

She knew Madame Gezel, she's close to Tim and her opinion would matter to Tim!

Madame Gezel has a high standard for everything, and she will use her to torture Kira until she decides to have a divorce to Tim!

What?!" Gezel was shocked by the news!

"You sounds so surprised, auntie! Didn't Tim told you about it?" Gaile asked as if she did not know anything!

"No! He didn't tell me about it!"

"That brat! He did not even bother to tell me!" Madame Gezel said.

"Oh! I'm sorry, he might want to surprise you." Gaile said with guilt. (Pretend)

"Oh no, it is better that you told me about this."

"So, do you know who's the girl?" Madame Gezel asked in curiosity.

Gaile smiled, this is her chance!

Madame Gezel would surely react when she heard about that woman's background!

"Yeah! I've already met her." Gaile replied.

"So, what do you think?"

"Well, I guess, she's a kind woman but..." Gaile stopped as if giving a thrill to Madame Gezel.

"But?" Madame Gezel waited for Gaile to continue.

"But I think, she doesn't have that good background. I mean... She is just a mere teacher, Auntie." Gaile continued.

"A mere teacher?" Madame Gezel repeated.

"Yes. A pre-school teacher in an International School."

"Ha!" Madame Gezel laughed sarcastically which made Gaile's smile went wider.

"A teacher?" She blurted out in disbelief.

"And where did he pick this girl?!"

"I don't know auntie," Gaile replied.

"I also heard that she is an orphan since she's nine years old."

"An orphan?!"

"Yes," Gaile replied.

"Why did he chose to marry an orphan and mere teacher instead of a businesswoman?"

"How could a teacher help him with his business?"

"It would be even better if it was you!" Gezel said.

"Auntie..." Gaile pretended to be humble.

"I don't know how that woman gets Tim but she should know her place!"

"She shouldn't be the Tan family's next queen!"

-----

Richard's office.

Richard is holding the report about Kira's background check.

His grip tightened as he read the report.

He seems like he was reminded by something!

Richard crumpled the paper and throw it violently!
