"answer me" Daniel demanded angrily
Lina wasn't ready to explain anything to anyone. She shrugged, removed Daniel's hand from her arm, and walked away.
As she walked away from him, her steps were steady and purposeful. However, as she moved further away from him, a sudden wave of dizziness washed over her. She felt a spinning sensation in her head, which caused her to stumble slightly.
Her vision blurred momentarily, and she felt disoriented as if the world around her was swaying. The feeling of dizziness intensified, making it difficult for Lina to maintain her balance.
As Daniel stood with his back turned to Lina, he was momentarily unaware of her struggles. However, a sudden shift in the atmosphere caught his attention, prompting him to turn around just in time to see Lina faltering.
With quick reflexes, he sprang into action, his instincts kicking in as he rushed towards her. Despite the initial shock of the situation, he remained calm and focused on reaching her in time.
As he closed the distance between them, he could see the distress on her face as she struggled to maintain her balance. Without a moment's hesitation, he extended his arms toward her, ready to catch her before she fell.
With a swift and sure movement, he managed to reach her just in time, wrapping his arms around her and providing the support she needed to stay upright.
Sofia and Bella were completely unaware of the struggles Lina was facing. It wasn't until the sudden shift in the atmosphere caught their attention that they noticed Lina was faltering.
Their faces registered shock and concern as they realized the gravity of the situation. They watched in disbelief as Daniel, who had been standing a few feet away, rushed forward to save her.
Sofia and Bella exchanged worried glances, feeling a pang of guilt for not noticing Lina's struggles sooner. They rushed to her side anxiously.
"What happened to her?" asked Bella as soon as she got near Daniel.
"She fainted," replied Daniel. As he gently lifted her limp body into his arms, cradling her petite figure, and carried her to the room. His movements were deliberate and careful, making sure to support her head and back to prevent any further harm.
With each step, he moved swiftly yet cautiously, navigating through the space with a sense of purpose.
The weight of her body in his arms served as a reminder of the fragility of the moment, prompting him to tread lightly and with great care.
Upon reaching the room, Daniel laid Lina down on the soft surface of the bed with utmost tenderness. He adjusted her position, ensuring she was lying comfortably and had enough space to breathe freely.
Once she was settled, he turned to the girls who had been silently following him. "Go call the doctor right now," he ordered.
"Yes... yes," replied Sofia anxiously as she ran out to get her phone, which she left in the living room.
Daniel turned to Lina, who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed and unresponsive. Her complexion, once radiant and glowing, now lacks its former luster and vibrancy. Her lips, which were once a focal point of allure and sensuality, now seemed muted and subdued.
He leaned in close to her and, with a gentle touch, he brushed a strand of hair away from her face, whispering words of reassurance and comfort, even though he knew she couldn't hear him.
Sofia, who had been dispatched to summon the doctor, now entered the room alongside the doctor. As they entered the room, a palpable sense of relief washed over the room, signaling that help had arrived.
As the doctor entered the room, his eyes immediately locked onto the patient, his white coat billowing behind him as he moved swiftly towards Lina, who was lying on the bed.
The doctor quickly checked for vital signs, feeling for a pulse and observing her breathing. He then proceeded to carefully position Lina on her back, ensuring her airway was clear and unobstructed.
With practiced precision, he began to perform a series of physical assessments, checking for any signs of injury or underlying medical conditions that may have contributed to the fainting episode.
As he worked, the doctor maintained a sense of focus and concentration, his movements deliberate and controlled. Throughout the process, the doctor remained a calming presence.
After conducting a thorough evaluation, the doctor turned to Daniel. "She fainted due to physical and emotional distress and nothing more," he paused and brought out a book and a pen, prescribing some drugs before handing the paper to Daniel.
As the doctor handed the prescription to Daniel, he breathed a sigh of relief. The weight of uncertainty lifted as he now had a tangible plan for her health. The doctor's words of reassurance echoed in his mind, providing comfort and guidance.
With the prescription in Daniel's hand, Sofia and Bella followed the doctor out of the room. The doctor walked ahead, leading the way with a calm and reassuring presence.
As they walked down the hallway, the doctor paused at the door, turning to Bella and Sofia with a warm smile. "Remember to follow the instructions on the prescription," the doctor said, his voice filled with encouragement.
Sofia nodded and smiled back at him, "Yes, we will remember."
Bella nodded and smiled at the doctor, showing her sincerity.
A sense of gratitude filled their hearts as they followed him out of the door. They watched him hail a taxi and waved goodbye as he boarded the taxi, and the driver drove off.
After the taxi was out of sight, Sofia and Bella turned around and went back into the house, closing the door behind them.
************
It was night, and Lina hadn't woken up yet. Bella and Sofia had left the room and were now in the guest room, leaving Daniel and Lina alone in the room.
Daniel sat by Lina's bedside, his eyes filled with concern and love. He gently held her hand, feeling the warmth of her skin against his own.
The soft glow of the bedside lamp illuminated her peaceful face, highlighting the delicate features that he adored so much.
He watched her chest rise and fall with each steady breath, a comforting rhythm that eased his worries.
Despite the uncertainty of the future, he knew one thing for certain - he would always be by her side, holding her hand and offering his unwavering support. He would be her rock, her protector, and her guardian.
As the hours passed, fatigue began to weigh heavily on his eyelids. His thoughts grew hazy, his body weary from the emotional toll of the day, and eventually, despite his best effort to stay awake, he succumbed to sleep, his head resting gently on the edge of her bed.
In that moment of vulnerability, he dreamed of a future with her, of happier times and brighter days ahead. And as he drifted off into slumber, his love for her remained unwavering, a beacon of hope in the darkness of the night.
