"I want to go to Paris, I want to go back to Paris" Sella said hopefully, she no longer wants to live in Canada, because this place is not safe for her.
"You can't leave in this condition." He would not want to lose this woman. Ntah as Rosse or Sella.
Sella still insisted, if her body were not tired at this moment, she would run away from this man.
"My place is not here. My life is there." Sella pushed Mark's chest until this man let go of his embrace. "Go .. I don't want more people misunderstanding me. I don't want your future wife to think a no-no about us."
Sella felt her heart ache even more considering the status of this man who already had a lover. But instead hugged him. Sella hates this situation because her body feels comfortable in Mark's arms.
Sella only realized that sometimes love and hate come at the same time.
Mark almost harassed her once but, tonight Mark came to save her honor.
Mark refused to answer, instead focusing on how to get Sella to come with him without coercion. Mark was about to wipe away the blood that was about to dry, he was shocked when the back of his hand touched Sella's forehead. This woman's body temperature was hot but, her body was shivering and that second also Sella was unconscious.
Mark panicked more, he carried Sella's body and took her out of Leon's apartment.
"We're going to the hospital!" mark's word to one of his guards. "Prepare the best room for this woman!"
The car was already on its way to the hospital. Mark was still holding Sella on the back bench, Sella's pale face further made Mark panic for fear of something worse happening to Sella.
Once at the hospital, Sella was immediately treated by the medical team. The vvip room became where Sella was treated.
"How is he doing?" As soon as the doctor went outside, Mark scolded her with questions.
"The condition is not good, it looks like the woman has just experienced severe shock which resulted in her physically weak to have a high fever. But there's no need to worry we've taken action and the patient only needs a few days to recover as usual."
Mark's feelings became more restless, he felt sorry to see Sella who had no one in Canada. But letting this girl go back to Paris was not the right choice because her feelings never misjudged people. Mark walks into Sella's room and watches Sella up close. The infusion needle was already stuck on the back of the woman's left hand, her face still pale fluently. Sella is asleep in her sleep.
Mark couldn't imagine what would happen if he didn't come on time and help Sella. Mark also blames himself for indirectly making Sella's days worse.
"Maybe, this kind of fear you've been through before" Mark murmured, he still thought Sella was the long-lost Rossela. Intentions to punish the fade, intentions to have even nearly faded as not wanting anything worse to happen to Sella when this woman was nearby.
What's more, he is still in a relationship with Kate whom he suspects of being involved in human trafficking especially women.
That night Mark stood guard inside the room Sella was being treated in, he was sitting on a chair near the patient's bed. Finding the courage from where, Mark held Sella's hand and kissed her before closing his eyes.
***
Eyelids decorated with lentic eyelashes have begun to open. Sella stared at the ceiling of the room which was very foreign to her. He saw the infusion needle stuck in the back of his left hand and more surprising when Mark slept by holding his hand.
Sella can't remember anything, which she knew last night she was barely conscious when Mark carried her and took her away.
The door opened from the outside, a hospital attendant came and smiled to see Mark sleeping in a sitting position next to the beautiful woman.
"Miss is awake?" He placed a tray filled with food on the nightstand.
Sella smiled and said. "Already, Sus...." Sella's voice woke Mark up, this man immediately straightened his back.
"It's okay, I'm very grateful."
"It has become my duty. Receive a message from Mr. Mark who has not left Miss."
Sella and Mark were both silent to see their hands still fused, Sella suddenly pulled her hand and tried to sit on her own.
"Be careful." Mark placed a pillow on Sella's back so that she could sit comfortably.
"You feel better? The doctor said, you have to rest for a few days so that your condition quickly recovers as before. Only after that can you do activities like usual. But, you no longer need to come to the head office* it!"
Mark patted his own thigh, still furious to remember Leon and Samantha. The two men will be punished according to the crimes they have committed.
"It's breakfast time and Miss Sella's best not to overexpress."
Mark took over the bowl from the sister's hand. "Let me feed him."
"Alright, then I go out first. Done eating Miss must take medicine and vitamins like what the doctor has told you before."
"Alright, thank you, sister," Mark replied.
The sisters leave Mark and Sella.
"Eat, after this take your medicine." Mark took a spoonful of porridge for Sella. "Open your mouth, let me give you a bribe."
Sella brushed off Mark's hand. "I have no appetite" Sella refused, her voice sounding weak. His mouth was bitter too. "
"Eat a little. Or do you want to stay here forever?"
"You go, I can eat by myself. After this let me go."
"No! For today let me take care of you. I promise that once you get out of the hospital I won't bother you anymore. But you have to promise not to come back to that bastard's company! Let's open your mouth!"
Inevitably Sella opened her mouth, chewed on the food that Mark fed, no more voices, only the sound of the clanking of spoons between them.
"I was full" said Sella, unable to swallow the food anymore.
"Still 6 spoons. A little more."
"No way!"
Mark relented, he stood putting down the bowl and took some medicine for Sella.
Sella felt that Mark was very sincere and cared about her, if Mark had been this sweet, she would have been the luckiest woman on earth.
"Why see me like that?" Mark was already holding a glass filled with water and some pills in hand. "Drink, so that you'll recover quickly."
Again Sella complied and opened her mouth, received the medicine from Mark's hand and swallowed it .
