"Catching a cold"
"Gave her many other problems"
"He took her to the doctor"
"To get her the perfect medicine "
"Hey Jurin" Minnie said standing outside the kitchen.
"Yeah?"
"You should go and rest now. Your sick and also on the bloody day" Jurin caught a cold and it was severe. Not only was she experiencing headaches but flue and fever were also affecting her health. If that wasn't enough then she also was suffering from a sore throat and she was unlucky to hit the day of the month today.
"Thanks" Jurin said and took a step out of the kitchen. She was feeling immense pain in her chest due to the coughs and also was having a bitter taste in the mouth due to the flue and runny nose.
"If you need anything tell me" said Minnie from downstairs and Jurin who heard that had reached upstairs and looked at her friend who was below and nodded. Jurin went into her room and sat on the bed not feeling the best but the worst. She looked around the room and letted out a sigh realizing that she left the pills Minnie gave her in the kitchen. The pills were supposed to aid in case of headaches and dizziness.
"Its not appropriate to just be screaming in my room for something but Minnie did say that i can call for her whatever I needed" Jurin said to herself thinking wether or not to call Minnie to get the pills for her.
"Its just a small walk. Get up Jurin" With that Jurin got up and opened the door to go downstairs.
Taking slow steps she set foot in the kitchen and didn't find Minnie there as she was cleaning the dining room first. Jurin found the pills when she faced the same coughs and covered her mouth with her hands.
Just then Louis who had sent his guards to an important location was passing by when all of a sudden he heard Jurin's heavy coughs. He peeped inside the kitchen to find Jurin and asked if she was alright.
"Iam fine" she said when she had to quickly grab a tissue as she had to sneeze.
"Your lying. Your not fine. What's the problem?" Looking at Jurin's face and her low voice and the apparent signs infront of his eyes told the mafia king that his maid wasn't in good health.
"Its just a cold"
"And?" Louis inquired and Jurin had to tell about the problems she was facing.
"It was just a cold and then headaches,nausea, these stupid coughs,flue,fever and chest pain" Jurin told him. She was annoyed of her own condition and didn't like the things she was going through.
"You need to go to the doctor"
"No, I took the pills Minnie gave me. No need for that" Jurin showed him the sachet of pills. Louis mouthed something and then proceeded to ask
"Is Minnie a doctor?" After a instant of time Louis took the pills from Jurin's hands,gave them a look and placed them on the countertop.
"Come I'll take you to the doctor and Iam not hearing another word about refusing to go" Louis spoke being fixed on his word to take Jurin to the doctor so that she can give Jurin the medicines she needed.
"Louis..." She had just called his name when he turned back. His face now facing her and his back facing the other side.
"Didn't I just say you can't refuse to go?" The mafia king said bootfaced.
"I meant that can i have some time to change my clothes?"
"No,you look fine. Now hurry and come with me"
"I don't look fine. I can't go outside like this" Jurin felt insecure about her face which she never experienced before but when she woke up in the morning and looked at herself in the mirror she saw how horrifying she looked with the pale face and sleepless eyes
"Jurin you don't look ugly."
"Ok but can i atleast go and grab my sweater?" On this question of hers Louis's eyes checked her from top to bottom.
"You should have wore warm clothes. No surprise you caught a cold" Jurin went to get her sweater and Louis waited for Jurin and saw her coming down on the stairs.
"Be careful. You don't want to have a broken leg now do you?" Jurin didn't give any attentions to Louis's words and went to take the place in the car.
Jurin was on the front seat while Louis had his hands on the steering wheel. The gates were opened for them and Louis drove the car away from the mansion
On the other hand Fred came to visit Louis but first he was met by his lovely Minnie.
"Where is Louis?"
"I don't know must be busy in his duties?" Amongst the two spoke a third person who was a guard and he was present there when his boss took the maid to the doctor.
"Master Louis took the maid to the doctor as she wasn't well"
"Was Jurin sick? Fred's neck turned to Minnie and the answer came out as
"Yes, but it's surprising of Louis to find the time to take her to the doctor"
"I think you forgot that you never had to go to the doctor because your Fredrick was always there for you" A smile played on Fred's lips when he spoke this making Minnie remember the time when she was sick and what he did for her.
"You weren't even romantic but more dramatic. I only had a fever and you were acting as if the world was ending" Minnie reminded Fredrick of what he said and how he acted when he got to know that Minnie was sick.
"Yeah but I cared for you at that time and still do" Fred held Minnie's hand which was his to hold and have.
"Okay okay stop being romantic. You want tea or coffee?"
"I think I can take you out for some cofee" Fredrick who was in the mood to spend some time with his love brought up the plan of going together to a cafe and have a good time but his plans were cancelled by his one and only Minnie when the following left her mouth
"I don't think we can go. I still have a lot of work and besides Louis has some people visiting him tommorow"
"So are we about to have a part two of Mr and Mrs Alberto?" Fred pulled back the chaotic and messy event in their discussion and Minnie gave her response as
"I do know that its not going to be Mr and Mrs Alberto because after what happened there is no chance of them coming back here"
"Your right. Make me some cofee. I will be in the living room" Fred ended the talks between them and Minnie walked on the path to the kitchen while Fredrick chose the path which led to the living room.
By that time Louis and Jurin had reached the doctor's clinic which wasn't much crowded. The tube lights inside the clinic gave it light and they walls were painted sky blue. There were chairs outside for the patients to sit on if they had to wait and a guy sat on the front desk. Louis told a girl who was the doctor's assitant to go and inform the doctor that it was Louis who had came and just after some seconds they were allowed to go inside. Jurin thought that Louis must know who the doctor was and she was right when she recognized the lady with glasses wearing a white coat sitting on the chair.
"Good afternoon Sir Louis" the doctor putted eveything aside and greeted Louis in a good manner.
"Good morning Mrs Ruby" Louis and Jurin settled down on the chairs infront of the doctor's table and Mrs Ruby asked.
"Are both of you sick?"
"No,its only her" Mrs Ruby looked at Jurin who was sitting beside Louis and her voice stopped and she took some time before saying.
"You must be Jurin. We met before. Do you remember?"
"Yes,i remember you" Hearing her response just like every doctor Mrs Ruby asked the common question
"What's the problem?"
"A lot of problems" Jurin said to which Mrs Ruby raised the question
"What type of problems may I know?"
"Headache,Cold,Coughs,Flue,Fever,
Nausea and chest pain"
"Ah that's unlucky. It really seemed as if you had to face everything at one go but don't worry because Iam writing down some medicines which you can purchase from the front desk" Jurin got up from the chair and was about to go outside when she looked back to see Louis still there talking with Mrs Ruby. She didn't walk any furthur and stopped in her path when she heard Louis asking
"Mrs Ruby does it take for a person to die by a knifestab in the stab?" Louis asked Mrs Ruby who had an answer to this question of this and other questions relating to injury and wounds as in she had studied medicine and surgery. She used to be at the clinic during the day and the hospital was her place at the night time.
"Uhm if someone is stabbed in the heart then they can fall unconsious for maximum 15 minutes and then they get brain dead" Mrs Ruby was accustomed to such questions by Louis as they were mostly for his plans and rarely for using on someone when he could easily have them killed by a gun.
"Thanks"Louis got up from the chair and went outside with Jurin who questioned.
"Why did you ask that?"
"Just wanted to see how long it will take for me to die by such a knifestab" Louis said and walked upto the front desk to buy the medicines the doctor had written on the peice of paper and surprisingly Mrs Ruby's handwriting was also somewhat readable.
"You have planned to get stabbed like that. Iam probably right on that" Jurin spoke looking at Louis who was handed a plastic bag which held Jurin's medicines which had pills and some pungent syrups"
As Louis walked out of the building Jurin in confusion told him
"Did you forget to pay?"
"I don't have to" Louis said carefreely waking to his car and opening the car door. As Jurin also entered the car her voice came out as
"I see ofcourse the feared mafia king gets to have anything for free?"
"Your misunderstanding but your also correct at one part. Powerful mafias do get free things but actually all the staff in Mrs Ruby's clinic is paid by me at the end of every month. Mrs Ruby also gets paid by me because she isn't just my personal doctor. She is the personal doctor of all my guards"Louis told Jurin what she was unaware of and cleared the misunderstanding of hers by furthur adding
"She also takes care of all my guards and whatever medicines they buy from her clinic the bill of those medicines goes to me to pay. And I pay for them even if they buy them for themselves or their family"
"That must be a lot of money" Jurin spoke. She never even got a chance to count how many guard's Louis had for his security and never was she so free to count the large group of men. Counting his men was like counting stars in the nightsky. Not to forget that they wore the same clothes so anyone could be mistaken for the other if the face was not seen.
"That's nothing and also I may seem harsh to them but if Iam being honest then I know how hard their job is. Its like fighting in the battle ground. Either death or Victory is written in their fate and yet they do it fo the money. So I can't let any of them die easily. Life is a valuable thing you know. Are you understanding?" Louis while driving the car brought the question for Jurin to answer and when she gave "Yes" as an answer
"Its nice when someone understands you"
"Louis your not on the right path because you are driving around the most populated part of the city"
"You mean the one surrounded by cafes,restaurants,malls, salons and shops?" Louis said slowing down the speed of his car as there were many people here and there and so were there many vehciles.
"If you can see that then may I know the reason why we are not going back to the mansion" Jurin crossed her arms as Louis continued to drive the car from one turn to the other instead of taking it to the mansion.
"Look at yourself. You will find the answer" Jurin thought Louis was trying to mock how she looked and turned away to the other side.
"I did tell you to give me some time to change the clothes but you were in a hurry" Jurin who had an sullen glower on her face thought that Louis was making fun of how she looked.
"Wait what?"Louis saw as Jurin didn't say anything else and it took him few minutes to realize that Jurin got the wrong meaning of what he said.
" Jurin you misunderstood what i meant to say and its probably because its still running in your head" Jurin eyes and face expressed unpleasantness and Louis had to tell her.
"First of all you don't look ugly,you were never ugly and second of all I was referring to your clothes. You need warm clothes for which i brought you to the mall"Jurin became confused and when she watched the people outside the window she also saw the mall.
"Winters go by quick. Whats the use of the warm clothes now?" Since the winter season gets a shorter time to rule as compared the the hot summer season Jurin considered it useless to buy warms clothes at that time.
"Its better for you to buy whatever you need today because i won't be bringing you back here next year"
"I don't think I will be with you next year" Jurin knew that time is a powerful wizard. One day it could bless you and the other day it could curse you. And she didn't think that she would be staying at Louis's mansion for another year as now she was wanting a seperate independant life. Having one was simple and all you needed was one thing and for her it was the one thing she didn't have,money. She did remember that Louis once gave her the option of leaving the mansion while giving her the budget she would need to spend life. So,she wondered if she should talk about it once again but while she was still wondering that.
"Oh so you plan to die" Jurin gave an unimpressed look to the mafia king who was having fun teasing her.
"Okay if your not going to be staying with me for another year then atleast let me give you a good life till you stay at my mansion. And also just be quick with the shopping because it's almost lunch time. When your done with buying the clothes then we can go and eat somewhere" Hearing about food made Jurin feel happy because it had been some time till she had eaten any fast food or tasty food at a restaurant.
Seeing a smile on Jurin's face Louis also smiled when he letted out
"Thank god something made you feel better Your highness" Jurin looked at him in surprise as it was never in her thoughts to hear something like that from Louis.
"Never thought I would hear that from you"
" Yeah I also never planned to say that but sometimes even the lion has to make a monkey the king" Jurin letted out a breath trying to calm herself with the thought of the good food awaiting her and she came out of the car and so did Louis because he had to pay for all of Jurin's purchases and he couldn't let her go inside alone.
"Women's protection was his first priority both as the stern mafia king and as the normal Louis"
