Later that evening,
El had finally found time to call Isobelle.
She went to her room and made the call.
"How are you, El? I've been worried sick about you" Isobelle exclaimed.
"Calm down Isso.
I'm fine, I might have had an allergic reaction to something so there is slight discomfort.
Nothing to worry about." El said.
"Nothing to worry about? You were forced to marry a guy, El, how can I not worry, why didn't you run away?" Isobelle asked.
"Everything happened all of a sudden. I didn't have time to think, besides I was cornered into it, I couldn't run even if I wanted to" El said.
Thinking about it Alec had indeed made well planned arrangements to lock everyone in.
"By the way mom and dad got to know about your wedding" Isobelle said
"What did they say about it?" Michelle asked.
"To be honest, nothing. They themselves don't know how they feel about your wedding to Alec Wilson, the Wilson and the Fords were family friends for sometime. But there has been no contact recently" Isobelle said.
"If you find out anything more about this let me know", Michelle replied.
"So how is Alec, El? Does he treat you well?"
To think about it, despite his intimidating nature, Alec did treat Michelle well.
"Yes, he treats me well." El replied.
Isobelle continued speaking but El's head started aching again. She also felt nauseous, dropping her phone on the bed, she hurried to the washroom.
Meanwhile Alec had returned back. He entered his room to check on El.
He heard a faint sound coming from her phone.
Alec saw that her phone was connected to a call with someone named Izzy.
"Hello,".
"Who is this, and where is El?" Isobelle asked in a worried manner.
"This is her husband, Alec Wilson" he heard a hoarse sound coming from the washroom.
"I'll have her call you back" saying this he hung up and rushed to the washroom.
He saw El vomiting.
She seemed very uncomfortable and her color drained face was covered in sweat.
Alec got closer to her and patted her back softly.
She was holding the sink edges with both her hands for support.
Once she was done, Alec picked her up in his arms and brought her to the bed, El didn't show any resistance to his actions.
Alec got her a glass of water and made her drink it with his own hands.
Wiping her face he thought 'she is suffering because someone intended to harm me'
"Patty"
Alec called out at the top of his voice.
Soon enough Patty was there.
"Why wasn't anyone around to look after her?" Alec asked sternly.
"I'm sorry Sir, I'll have someone keep an eye on Mrs. Wilson all the time."
When she said that Michelle glared at her but did not say anything.
"Help her to change." He said and walked out of the room. Minutes later he was back inside.
"Have you taken your medicine?"
"Not yet" she said and rolled herself towards the bed stand, before she could reach it Alec already took the medicine and a glass of water and gave it to her.
"I'm sorry for being a trouble again," El said with a dejected face.
"You need to stop apologizing for everything." Alec replied.
"Just two more days and you'll be fine after that" saying this Alec sat near the table on the other side of the room.
He was busy with his work when he heard a phone ring. It was El's phone. The caller ID read 'Izzy'. He received it.
"Hello." Alec said.
"Where is El? Is she alright?" Isobelle asked her voice full of concern.
"Yes, she is resting right now." El was only lying with her eyes closed.
When she heard voices she opened her eyes.
Seeing that she was awake, Alec got up and handed her the phone
"It's Izzy".
Listening to Isobelle's words, Michelle replied
"You need to stop nagging me Izzy"
"I'm sorry El, but you know… "
"I know you are worried for me. But you are worried for nothing. I can take care of myself and you know that" El had a domineering voice when she said it.
They quickly hung up knowing that they wouldn't be able to talk much in Alec's presence.
El was feeling weird because of Alec's constant presence.
He even had Patty get their dinner in his room.
At night, Alec got out of his shower with only a towel wrapped around his waist.
His chiseled body layered with water droplets he looked like he was sculpted by God himself.
He could have been easily mistaken for a model.
El couldn't help but stare at him. He started approaching her.
The closer he got, the hotter El felt.
He leaned closer, trapping her between his hands.
"Like something?"
He asked with a mischievous smile.
El could only manage to take deep loud breaths. Her heart started beating fast.
Supporting himself with one hand, Alec placed his other hand on El's face.
To his shock he felt her face burning with fever.
He checked her neck, it felt hotter than her face. Alec immediately got up and called the doctor.
El's health started getting worse since evening and this concerned Alec.
After speaking to the doctor, he got near El and stroked her hair.
"The doctor will be here tomorrow. You rest now"
Alec said and laid himself on the other side of the huge bed.
The next morning, the doctor checked on El and informed Alec that her symptoms are expected and she'll be fine in two days.
For the next two days Alec made sure that the maids watched over El all the time taking complete care of her nutrition and rest.
