I had lost out too much weight and energy from coughing out the substances every now and then. So Aidan had to support my back and prevent me from eating more of the one pack of ice cream.
"What's the black liquid in your blood?" he asked. "Were you poisoned?"
I couldn't answer him for I was too weak and I wasn't totally sure if that tube contained poison. I only knew that it was a love potion, which probably had unknown side effects. Telling that to Aidan was not a good idea, after seeing him storm about my disappearance into a dangerous place.
The mention of that day triggered more phlegm and blood. With it came out more dots of a white substance. Perhaps my system was trying to get rid of the possibly poisonous substance that had entered through the tube.
"How much of the truth are you hiding?" he asked quietly, cupping my face and lifting it to meet his. His eyes were tender with anger hidden behind them.
