Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice

138 Fiancé was getting anxious

After their second love making, Veronica immediately got up and went to his walk-in closet. She pick up her jeans that was left there and his shirt then his hoodie jacket.

"Where are you going at this time?" He ask her. She glance at the clock. Damn it. She only got twenty minutes to get to EPUA. She damn forget that Catriona is leaving with Tequila.

"I need to borrow your motorbike." She said in emergency.

"What? It's raining."

"Now." She demanded. He hesitated. "I'll be back, it won't take long. I forgot that Cat is leaving…" she mutter. He gave it to her and she put on her shoes and kiss him.

"Careful. I'll be waiting."

"Don't wait. Sleep now." She slammed the door.

She drove the motorbike fast like nothing else matters. Soon, she got to EPUA and the guards let her in after seeing her face. It stopped raining and she saw Catriona and Enzo having their moment.

She pushes Enzo away and hugged Catriona even though she's wet.

"Don't you fucking get killed there or I'll kill myself." She mutter.

"You too. If you get killed in that bastard's hand, I'll kill myself as well and drag you to hell." They both mutter at each other. Then Veronica pushes her. "You just wet my clothes." Cationa complain.

"You can, change…" She said. Catriona smiled at her.

"You look blooming."

"Yeah, I nearly got raped by a disgusting man…" she said nonchalantly and Catriona already understood what happened next. "But I handled him. And I found something interesting." She glance at Sabrina.

"We have to leave first." Tequila said. "We are late." Sabrina nods and they all walk to the departure ofEPUA. Enzo wrapped his arms around Catriona and keep kissing her head as they walk.

Veronica rolled her eyes. They enter into a room first and Veronica explained everything that happened. Including the drugged drink, how she drank a little, vomit it but she still felt a little dizzy after. She will surely need to get samples on the drugs they are taking. She gave the address and Catriona and Tequila soon departed.

Enzo still don't know where they are going and he couldn't hack or track it. Sabrina was more calculative than him.

Soon, Veronica drove back to the penthouse and strip off her clothes that's half wet. Good thing that it stopped raining when she drove back. Her hair is already dry and she feel a little cold so she crawl on the bed and snuggle on the sleeping man.

He wrapped his arms around her and kisses her.

"Where did you go?"

"I just catch up, Cat." She shove her hot face on his chest.

Soon, they both fell asleep. Tony woke up since he was sweating and she was burning up and that almost burn him as well. So he sat up and reach her hot face.

"V?" he calls. "Hey, baby?" he tried to wake her up but she only moan and turn back from him. "Baby you are burning up." He immediately slid off from bed and went to the cabinet to reach for medicine and thermometer. He took her temperature and saw it was unexpectedly high 41 degree Celsius. "Baby…" He call her again and fetch a glass of water.

He pull her up to sit up and shook her a little but she didn't want to cooperate.

"Veronica… Baby, stay with me."

She finally open her heavy eyelids and let him feed her the medicine, she drank the water and swallowed hard. Tony was so worried that he reach his telephone and call for their family doctor. It was ringing and no one was answering.

"I'm going to take you to the hospital." He said and she hold him.

"No. I'll just sleep."

"But your temperature is so high…"

"I rarely get sick." She mutter with dry throat and then he led the mouth of the glass to her and she sipped.

"Next time don't run in the rain and damn it!" He's getting anxious and then he calm himself. "Okay, let's see what happen after an hour and if your temperature didn't cool down—I'm going to take you to the hospital."

"Hmm… I'm cold."

"Okay." He put her down gently and cover her with the duvet. Then he went to his wardrobe and pick his PJs and sweatshirt. He put it on her and cover her up with the duvet, then he lean on the head board and hug her to warm her.

Veronica's mind was lightweight and everything seemed to be floating. She rarely get sick. Maybe it was the drug. She had been under the rain for days and she hasn't catch up cold or fever. But now, her throat is dry and her whole body is burning up.

"Call—Sabrina for me."

"Now? At this time?" He asked her quizzically. She nodded so Tony did call Sabrina and soon it was picked up. "Hey, Brina, it's Tony… Veronica wants to talk to you."

"Where is she?" A soothing voice of a woman from the other line talks.

"She have an unexpectedly high fever." He said and still in daze. He haven't heard her speak.

"I'll talk to her." Tony put the phone on Veronica's ear.

"Brina… I need someone to draw my blood."

"How do you feel?"

"This isn't just a fever."

"I got it. I'll send Samantha right away."

"Thank you."

Soon, someone came up knocking in front of his doorstep. He let the woman enter with a doctor's bag with her.

"I'm Samantha. Veronica's friend."

"Pleasure to meet you." He lead Samantha inside and he let Samantha check on the pale Veronica. She check her up, every detail.

"What's her temperature for the past four hours?"

"41 degree Celsius. What's wrong with her?"

"I am still finding out. She might've drank something last night." She pull out a syringe with a big needle for drawing blood. She expertly roll up the sleeve of the sweatshirt and inject it to her. He look away. Seeing her getting injected makes his heart ache. Veronica didn't even flinch and her tired eyes gaze at his face.

"Are you afraid of needle or blood?" Veronica asked with dry voice.

"Don't try to be funny. It pains me seeing you like that."

Samantha's lips curl up to avoid smiling. This two have a great chemistry and Tony look so in love. Maybe she's getting old that's why she always see love around her. Love is in the air.
