Xaden's brows creased after Mira withdrew from the medicine and to top it all was the confused look on her face.
" Just when I thought you were being good huh " he said looking straight into her confused eyes..
Mira's childlike mind had already smelt something fishy and dangerous about the drug but because it was none other than her hubby who was giving it to her,she brushed away her discomfort,besides,she loved whenever he praised her for being good,she moved to open her mouth to accept the pill.
Xaden smiled seeing her open her mouth and he quickly placed the tablet in her mouth,later on,he would give her the sedatives after she drank her tea.
Mira swallowed the drug with ease but as soon as she swallowed,her face carved into a sour expression because before she could swallow the drug,it was already quick to wash on her tongue and it seemed to be bitter,very bitter which was very unlikely and unusual.
Xaden chuckled at the expression on his wife's face which he thought at that moment was very cute,like a child who had just licked lemon.
He moved and placed a smack on her lips. " good job wife " he praised.
Mirabel looked up at her husband after the kiss, normally she would blush and giggle but today she didn't,instead she was looking at him with confusion filled eyes as though she was trying to explain something but couldn't and this was because,her brain was already starting to jiggle from so many unexplainable things.
Xaden was surprised at the fact that his wife didn't respond to his kiss unlike before, well he took it as maybe the effects of the Anti relaxant.
He smiled and then reached out to the cup of tea by the bedside table and handed it to her. " Here " he said gently, trying to place the cup in her hand.
Mira looked at the cup and then back at him before she timidly reached for it and took a sip.
Xaden sighed before he withdrew back and began undressing himself for his bath,this he did with a displeased face because he didn't like this quiet and unresponsive version of his wife,she was just too calm,no longer happy and giddy anymore like she used to and above all too quiet,unlike his Mira who couldn't go a minute without calling him. ' hubby '.
Now,Xaden had to admit,he hated that damn Anti relaxant for totally changing his Mira because right now he was already missing her voice like crazy as it felt like ages since he last heard her voice,well sadly he'll have to wait till tomorrow to see that Mira again.
Xaden undressed himself till he was left with his boxer shorts,he grabbed his robe and with one last glance at his calm wife who was quietly having her tea,he placed a a soft kiss on her forehead before he dashed into the bathroom.
10 minutes later, Xaden emerged from the bathroom fully dressed with a smile on his face, he was about to walk towards his wife to give her the last pill so she could go to bed but however,he was forced to halt in his steps when he saw the now state of his wife.
She sat with her knees up and her two hands over her head hitting and scratching on it with a wild expression on her face,she had even loosened the bun he tied her hair into and her long red hair was a mess.
Xaden at this rate was alarmed because the way she was acting right now reminded him of the first week she had woken up in the hospital.
' When last did she act like this ' Xaden's numb brain thought,well he didn't wait to see what would happen next as he quickly rushed by her and took out the sedatives and tried making her take it, his best guess at that moment was that she needed to sleep but wasn't getting it especially since it was very late
After a few attempts,he finally made her take the sedatives and it was only a matter of seconds before she began to feel sleepy.
Breathing heavily with fear,Xaden hugged her tightly as she dozed off in his arms,he hated it,he hated seeing any damn thing that reminded him about last year's incident and those critical and intense days of her illness,he never ever wanted to remember all those dark days,all he wanted to see was growth and growth untill she finally got better.
Two minutes later,as soon as she was deep asleep,he let go off her and gently tucked her into bed making sure she was very comfortable,after which he sat beside her taking up her hand and bringing it to his lips placing a gentle kiss on it,words couldn't describe how much he loved her,he was even sure it had gotten to the point of obsession.
As he sat there,he remembered their last moment before the incident which was on the morning of their wedding day itself wherein he had sneaked into her dressing room to see her despite restrictions from his mother and family members,he could still remember the expressions on her face after seeing him,every word she said with her real voice, he probably might have lost counts of how many times they kissed that morning but it was a lot ,infact they had almost made love if not for a shy Mira who pushed him out .
But then,who knew their lives was gonna change after that morning,who knew he was gonna be in tears the next time he saw her,who knew she'd be in this condition now!!! No one.
A lone tear escaped Xaden's eyes,how he wished he could turn back time to stop everything.
In the past,he used to always think money was everything and that it could solve anything but he was totally wrong,money couldn't solve everything.
