''Ari,'' he called, and she turned to look at him.
Xavier frowned in worry when he saw her pale face and dry lips.
''Ari, what's wrong? '' he asked as he tried to touch her, but she backed away from him.
''Nothing,'' she said; Xavier stared at her for a second, and without warning, he held her hand and touched her forehead.
''You have a fever. '' He said, and she quickly pulled her hand from him;
''I know, I just want to get some drugs at the pharmacy. ''
''Let me take you.'' Xavier offered, and she shook her head; ''I can drive myself. ''
''Maria, you're ill. Can you not just be stubborn now? '' he scolded and Ari calmed down instantly. Seeing she was calm, he took her hand and led her to his car; opening the passenger's seat for her.
The drive to the hospital was quiet, as no one said a word. When they got to the hospital, Ari was taken for tests while Xavier waited outside for her.
