Sofia's shock and disbelief quickly transformed into frantic action as she ran to get a towel, her heart racing as she pressed it against Sebastian's wrist, applying pressure to the wound.
Sofia: Are you crazy? You need to stop the bleeding ( she said, her voice urgent and fearful ). You need to get to a hospital.
Sebastian: The hospital is an hour away
Sofia: Why did you cut your wrist
Sebastian: You said I should prove my love to you
Sofia: That was not what I meant
Sebastian: You said I should die
Sofia: You are not helping now
She looks at the wound
Sofia: Why is the bleeding not stopping
Sebastian: You are doing it wrong
Sofia: Sorry am not a nurse
She said Sarcasm and pressed it hard. Sebastian let out a groan of pain as Sofia pressed the towel harder against his wrist, her frustration and panic mounting as she struggled to stem the flow of blood.
Sebastian: You need to calm down ( whispered, his voice weak and strained ). You're only making it worse.
Sofia gritted her teeth, tears welling in her eyes as she struggled to control her emotions.
Sofia: I can't do this ( she whispered, her voice trembling with fear and despair ).
Sebastian: Take a deep breath okay and calm down
Sofia took a deep breath, her trembling hands still pressed against the wound as she tried to regain her composure.
Sofia: Okay ( she whispered, her voice steadier now ). I'm trying, Sebastian. I'm trying to stay calm.
Sebastian gave her a weak smile, his eyes filled with gratitude and love.
Sebastian: Thank you, Sofia ( he whispered ). You're so strong. You can do this.
Sofia's hands shook with relief as the bleeding finally slowed to a stop.
Sofia: Thank God, ( she whispered, her voice filled with gratitude ). I'm so glad I was able to stop it.
Sebastian gave her a weak nod, his face pale and sweating as he struggled to stay conscious.
Sebastian: There's a first aid kit in the bathroom, ( he whispered, his voice hoarse and strained ). You should use it to sew up the wound.
Sofia stood up, her legs shaky and weak as she walked towards the bathroom, her mind still reeling with panic and fear.
She grabbed the first aid kit from the bathroom cabinet, her hands trembling as she opened it and pulled out a needle and thread.
Sofia: I've never done this before, ( she whispered, her voice shaking as she walked back towards Sebastian ). I don't know if I can do it.
Sebastian gave her a weak smile, his eyes filled with determination and faith.
Sebastian gave Sofia step-by-step instructions, his voice weak but determined as he guided her through the process.
Sebastian: First, apply the alcohol to the wound, It will help prevent infection. Then, take the needle and thread, and start stitching the wound closed. Start at the bottom, and work your way up.
Sofia nodded, her hands still trembling as she followed his instructions, her heart pounding with fear and uncertainty.
Sofia bit her lip, her brow furrowed in concentration as she began to stitch the wound closed, the needle moving slowly and deliberately as she worked her way up the wound.
Sofia: Am I doing it right? ( she asked, her voice quavering with doubt ).
Sebastian gave her a weak smile, his eyes fluttering closed as he fought to stay conscious.
Sebastian: Yes, you're doing great, Sofia, ( he whispered ) Just keep going.
Sofia continued to stitch the wound, her hands trembling with fear as she fought to maintain her composure.
Sofia: I'm so scared, Sebastian, ( she whispered, her voice breaking with emotion ). I'm scared that I'm going to hurt you.
Sebastian reached out and grasped her hand, his fingers weak and trembling as he held her hand against his chest.
Sebastian: You're not going to hurt me, Sofia, ( he whispered, his voice barely audible ). You're saving me.
Sofia finished stitching the wound, her hands trembling as she tied off the thread and trimmed it with a pair of scissors.
Sofia: It's done, Sebastian, ( her voice filled with relief). I think it's going to be okay.
Sebastian gave her a weak smile, his eyes fluttering closed as he struggled to stay awake.
Sebastian: Thank you, Sofia, (?he whispered, his voice hoarse with gratitude ). You saved me.
Sofia quickly searched through the first aid kit, her fingers shaking as she pulled out a small bottle of painkillers.
Sofia: Here, Sebastian, Take these. They'll help with the pain.
Sebastian managed to swallow the pills, his face contorted with pain as he closed his eyes and leaned back against the couch.
Sebastian: Thank you, Sofia, I don't know what I would do without you.
Sofia: You should rest I will prepare what I can. She said and gave him one last look before going to the kitchen
May while Faye and Myra were watching cartoons
Myra: Mommy you are awake, you and Daddy were still sleeping and we didn't want to disturb you so we left quietly
Faye: Where is daddy
Sofia: Your father does not feel well this morning
Sofia paused, her heart sinking as she realized that Myra was unaware of what had happened with Sebastian.
Myra's eyes widened with worry, her face growing pale as she stared up at her mother.
Myra: Is Daddy okay? ( she asked, her voice trembling with fear ).
Sofia: Of course baby his just tired from the stress and needs more time to sleep. You girl don't go and disturb him okay
Faye/Myra: Yes Mommy
Sofia: Do you want to help mommy prepare breakfast
Their eyes lit up as they nodded nonstop. Sofia walked into the kitchen and to her surprise it was well stocked so she picked the ingredients she needed to make the food
Sofia smiled at her daughters, grateful for their understanding and eagerness to help.
Sofia: Okay, girls, ( she said, trying to sound cheerful ). Let's get to work! Why don't you two start cracking the eggs while I finish up with the vegetables?
Faye and Myra jumped up and down with excitement, their hands covered in egg yolk as they cracked the eggs into the bowl.
Myra: This is so fun! ( she exclaimed, her face glowing with happiness as she dropped an eggshell into the bowl by accident )
Sofia laughed as she watched her daughters enjoying themselves, the sound of their giggling and squealing bringing a much-needed lightness to the tense atmosphere.
Sofia: You girls are doing great! ( she said, smiling as she poured the vegetables into the skillet ) But let's try to keep the shells out of the eggs, okay?
Faye and Myra nodded, their faces covered in flour and egg as they worked together to remove the shell from the bowl.
As Sofia finished cooking the meal, she watched as the vegetables softened and the eggs turned golden brown, the smell of butter and fresh herbs filling the kitchen.
She stirred the food slowly, her mind racing as she thought about Sebastian and the events of the morning.
Sofia: It's almost ready, ( she glanced at the clock ).
Sofia smiled at her daughters, her heart filling with love as she watched them eagerly awaiting their father's arrival.
Sofia: Okay, girls,( she said, her voice soft and gentle ). Let him rest for a bit, okay? We don't want to wake him up.
Faye and Myra nodded in agreement, their faces flushed with excitement as they helped Sofia carry the food to the table.
Myra: Do you think he'll like it? ( she asked, her eyes wide with anticipation ).
Faye: Of course, Mommy Cooking is the best and we help. Daddy will love it
Faye and Myra dug into their food with gusto, giggling as they traded bites and made a mess of their plates.
Sofia watched them with a smile, her heart aching with love as she thought about Sebastian and how much he meant to her.
Faye: Mommy, When do we get to see Daddy again?
Sofia sighed, her smile fading as she considered her answer.
Sofia: Why don't you finish eating them we take them upstairs
Faye and Myra nodded eagerly, their mouths full of food as they quickly finished their breakfast.
Myra: Are we ready to take Daddy's breakfast upstairs?
Sofia watched the girls jump out of their seats.
Sofia: Yes
Sofia led the way up the stairs
She opened the door Sebastian's face was pale, Faye and Myra jumped on the bed yelling
Myra: Daddy Daddy breakfast Mommy made it
Sofia's heart skipped a beat as Faye and Myra jumped onto the bed, their giggles filling the room as they crowded around Sebastian.
Sebastian's eyes fluttered open, his face pale and drawn as he stared up at his daughters.
Sebastian: What's those the ladies want ( he asked, his voice weak and hoarse).
Faye: Mommy made breakfast for you, Daddy!
Sofia placed the food on the bed as she watched Sebastian's reaction, he stared at the plate of food.
Sebastian: Thank you, Sofia, ( he whispered, his voice filled with gratitude ). It looks wonderful.
Sofia: You should eat, You need to get your strength back
Faye: Daddy try it, it's very delicious
Myra: What happened to your hand ( she saw the bandage on his wrist )
Sebastian: It's just a little wound
Faye: Does it hurt
Sebastian: no baby, mommy took care of me am okay ( he picked up the spoon to eat )
Myra: Wait ( she held Sebastian her and turned it to Sofia )Mommy daddy is hurt feed him
Sofia: He can eat just fine
Faye: You always tell us not to help someone halfway, you can't teach what you don't practice
Sebastian: You know the girls are right ( she gave a weak smile )
Sofia bit her lip, her heart melting as she listened to Faye's wise words.
Sofia: Alright ( she said, her voice soft as she reached out and took the spoon from Myra's hand ).
She leaned over, her hand shaking as she gently guided the spoon to Sebastian's mouth.
Sebastian smiled as he ate, his eyes full of love and gratitude as he watched her
As Sofia fed Sebastian, the room grew quiet, the only sound was the clink of the silverware and the soft swallowing of food.
Faye and Myra watched them with curiosity, their small hands clasped together as they sat on the edge of the bed.
Myra: Mommy loves you very much, Daddy, ( Myra whispered, her voice filled with emotion ).
Sofia's eyes widened as she looked over at Myra. Sebastian playful asked her
Sebastian: Really why do you say so
Myra: Mommy only cook a few times at home and even if we are sick it is Mrs Antonia who cooks but Daddy cooks for you
Sofia: I cook all the time
Faye: No Mommy you don't
Sofia's cheeks turned bright red as she listened to Faye and Myra's responses, her face burning with embarrassment.
Sofia: Okay, okay, ( she said, laughing nervously as she looked at Sebastian ). Maybe I'm not the best cook in the world.
Sebastian smiled as he swallowed another spoonful of food, his eyes twinkling with amusement.
Sebastian: But you're the best mom in the world
Faye: Daddy kiss mommy
Sofia: Faye what's wrong with you this morning don't talk nonsense
Faye: am not talking nonsense, the prince always kisses the princess if she is sick. Like snow white, sleeping beauty, cinderella
Myra: It's true Mommy but now you have to kiss Daddy because he's the one sick, unless daddy will get sick the more
Sofia's cheeks burned with embarrassment as she listened to Faye and Myra's words, her mind racing as she tried to think of a response.
Sebastian, however, simply smiled as he watched her reaction, his eyes twinkling with amusement.
Sebastian: Well, Sofia, ( he said, his voice low and teasing ) I guess it's your turn to kiss me.
Sofia: please Sebastian you know I won't don't push it
Sebastian started groaning in pain as he held his chest and said
Sebastian: I can't breathe
Sofia and the girls panic
Myra: Mommy what's wrong with daddy
Sofia: Sebastian what's the matter where do you feel the pain
Sebastian: I can breathe…only your mommy kiss can save me help
Sofia was bewildered by Sebastian's behaviour
Sofia: Grow up ( she stood up and walked to the door )
Sebastian pretended to faint, and Myra and Faye screamed
Faye: Mommy you have to kiss Daddy, daddy will die if you don't
Myra: Mommy don't kill Daddy please ( crying )
Sofia turned around, her eyes wide with shock as she watched Faye and Myra crying over Sebastian.
Sofia: Girls, his just joking, He's not dying.
But Faye and Myra continued to cry, their small bodies shaking with emotion as they huddled around Sebastian's limp body.
Sofia's heart raced as she watched them, her mind filled with confusion and panic as she realized she didn't know what to do.
She walks over to Sebastian and pulls him up but he falls back into the bed easily
Sofia: Cut it off Sebastian, it's not funny
Myra: Just kiss him Mommy I don't want to lose Daddy again, please
Faye: Mommy save daddy
Sofia sat on the bed
Sofia: I swear I will kill you ( she whispered him his ear )
Sofia leaned over, she gently placed her lips on Sebastian's cheek
Faye: that's not how snow white prince kissed her
Sofia: I'm done
She was standing up Sebastian pulled her back and placed his lips on her, holding her firm and giving her room to run
Sofia let out a surprised gasp as Sebastian pulled her back onto the bed, his arms wrapped tightly around her as he pressed his lips to hers, his body warm and solid against hers.
Faye and Myra giggled and cheered as they watched their parents, their tears forgotten as they clapped their hands together in excitement.
Faye: Mommy and Daddy are kissing! (her voice filled with joy and laughter ).
Sofia pulled away, her face flushed with anger as she stood up and stormed out of the room, her heart racing with a mix of confusion and frustration.
Sebastian: Good teamwork girls
Sebastian chuckled weakly as he listened to Myra's words, his eyes twinkling with amusement as he watched the girls.
Sebastian: You two are little troublemakers, ( he said, his voice filled with love and pride ).
Faye and Myra giggled and grinned, their faces filled with excitement and joy as they looked at their father.
Sebastian: So, what's the next part of the plan?
Sebastian asked, his eyes glinting with mischief as he watched his daughters.
