Xaden glanced at Shawn to see if he had an explanation for him but the latter was just as confused as he was. ' wasn't this the same bubbly girl of yesterday who was super happy the moment he had gifted her a teddy ? Why then had all the colors in her eyes disappeared? .
Xaden worriedly returned his eyes back to his wife who was still staring at him, trying to form sentences in her head, he was about to open his mouth to say something but his mouth suddenly hung on the air when he saw his beloved's eyes well up with hot tears.
Xaden instantly became alarmed and quickly jumped up to the bed and lay beside her and cupped her face in fear,in worry.
" Mira, love, what happened huh,why are you crying,are you hurting somewhere" he asked checking all over her body looking for any signs of injury but all Mira did was sob more, making those sniffling sounds that irked Xaden as hell but alas something came out of her mouth.
" Chasing me,they were chasing me " she cried throwing herself into her husband's arms who quickly wrapped his mighty hands around her protectively.
" Who love,who was chasing you huh,tell me " he asked urging her to speak more but no more words came out from the crying Mira again or at least her brain couldn't form anymore words.
Turning to Shawn. " Get me Doctor Greg, now " he requested and Shawn immediately left the room.
" Sssshhhhhh ,it's okay,hmmm,I'm here " he consoled, placing assuring kisses all over her face and that seemed to calm her down a bit.
By the time Doc Greg and Shawn returned to the room,Mira had already stopped crying and now peacefully lay on the chest of her husband who held her tightly, stroking her hair.
" Good morning Mr Reigns" Doctor Greg greeted
" Morning Doc " Xaden casually replied " I heard you came in to check on her this morning, did you found anything?"
" Mmmmmmm,not really as I've not been able to pin point what exactly may have happened but I do have some theories and questions as well " he replied taking a seat at the foot of the huge bed.
Doctor Greg could swear that he saw Xaden roll his eyes at the mention of ' theories ' he hated that damn word.
" But first " he continued " put this in her mouth" he requested handling Xaden a thermometer which he took and placed in Mira's mouth with zero stress as she was probably too weak to even resist.
As soon as the thermometer was in her mouth,he resumed talking " sooo,when I came in this morning,her temperature was really high,which was quite unusual , i'm yet to know the cause of that but about last night ". he paused and looked straight into Xaden's eyes " did you by any chance give her an overdose of her medicine"
Xaden without blinking or thinking was quick to provide a concrete " No " as an answer.
" Are you sure " he asked again
" C'mon Doc,you know how I am when it comes to my wife and you should know I don't play with things regarding her health,I mean I wouldn't even give an overdose in my sleep not to talk of when I'm in my right senses, I gave her the exact dose,I'm sure of it and although she had it quite late but it was the correct dose" he reassured again" I've been doing this for a year and so I couldn't possibly have made a mistake " he added
":okay, erm what about, about food "
" Huh "
" I mean like did she have any alien or unusual foods yesterday,like something she's never had before "
This time, Xaden didn't rush to answer as he paused in thoughts but then after a few seconds he called out .
" Ma'am Calista " he called and in a few seconds Calista appeared before them in the room.
" Sir you called me " she answered.
" Yeah,urm,what did my wife have yesterday "
"How do you mean sir" Nanny Calista replied almost getting scared from the way he had said it,it was as though he was asking what she had done to his wife.
" I mean,what did she have for dinner before I arrived " he replied breaking it down
This time Nanny Calista fell silent as reality struck her and her fingers began to twitch causing Xaden to arch his brows,Shawn too, that was definitely not a good look.
" I'm asking you a question" Xaden repeated in a slightly harsh tone.
" Well sir ". She began. " I,I...., yesterday I asked Ma'am what she would like to eat but,but,b-but....."
" But what " Xaden almost yelled in impatience
" But she didn't tell me and so I made rice, sir,I promise I tried to make her eat it but she kept on throwing away the food and so I gave her an Orange juice to give her appetite Sir,I was actually gonna tell you when you arrived that she hadn't eaten but then I,I forgot sir " she confessed and at this point,she was already in tears as she explained herself,she knew her job was in jeopardy now and what was even worse was that Xaden might bear the impression that this was how she had been treating his wife whereas it was only the first time of her forgetting such an important thing and this was because her head had been so occupied with many things regarding one of her sons ,
Although Nanny Calista knew she could have easily lied about feeding her but she didn't for the sake of the honesty within her and also for the fact that she was over 41, it would be a shameful thing for her to lie.
To be frank, Nanny Calista was actually beginning to feel guilty because she was beginning to think that Mira might have acted that way last night as a result of her not eating.
The three men as they listened to her were in shock except for Xaden who only smiled,the type of smile that usually came out before he killed some one.
