The Hard But Easy
Chapter 13

Eliza Fern did not hear very clearly the talk of Jonathan with his mother from the outside, but Eliza heard a rush of tears that came out⸻it seemed like the atmosphere inside was so dramatic. Eliza gulped her saliva so nervously. Situated like now, especially when Jonathan comes out of his room, Eliza does not know what to do when she meets Jonathan later.

When Eliza wanted to enjoy her warm tea again, suddenly her stomach was nauseous, wanting to vomit. In a hurry Eliza went to the toilet near the kitchen. Lately the nausea has gotten worse. It's a danger, people can be suspicious and will take her to the doctor, it's something Eliza avoids the most.

Arriving at the toilet, the girl immediately fell down and vomited her stomach contents in a closet. His body was very limp, more limp than before. It felt like all the energy in his body was drained away. He has to take medicine. Damn Eliza's bag is outside, she can't move now. Too weak to drag his body out, even to open his eyes it felt so heavy.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door from outside. Eliza could hear Jonathan's worried voice. Several times the man called Eliza. Maybe soon Jonathan will be ready to break down the door.

After gathering energy, Eliza slowly stood up while holding the sink barrier, then she walked away. As the sound of knocking on the door grew louder, Eliza hurriedly opened the door and saw the figure of Jonathan staring at her worriedly with a severed breath.

"Your face is pale. Let me drive you home." Jonathan pulls Eliza's hand, but the girl immediately brushes over.

"No, Jonathan. I just need to take my medicine." Said. Then Eliza walked to pick up her bag on the sofa, assisted by Jonathan.

"You sure? I'm not feeling good." Jonathan looked at Eliza worriedly, the girl's eyes looking cute.

Eliza shakes. "You done the phone?" ask the girl to divert.

Jonathan nodded. "already."

Eliza kept smiling, even though her lips looked pale. "How's your mom?"

"My mom wants me to come on Christmas Eve."

"That's great."

"And he wants to see you."

Eliza. "What?"

"I told you everything, Carlos, Amelia, Amelia's mother, and you. My mother really wanted to see you."

"Why suddenly?"

"I told her something and my mom wanted to see you right away." Jonathan said with a smile.

"Something?"

"Have forgotten it. Let's take your medicine now before I drive you home."

Eliza just remembered that she had to take medicine before her illness was really severe. Could serious.

Jonathan got up and took a glass of water for Eliza. Not long after, he returned and handed the water to Eliza. Jonathan is a little surprised to see the drugs that Eliza brought. He looked at Eliza with an interrogating look.

"Eliza?"

"Hm?" the girl muttered after taking her medicine.

"What medicine is this?" ask Jonathan slowly.

Eliza hurriedly snatched the medicine from Jonathan's hands and put it back in the bag. "just a nausea drug."

Jonathan became suspicious. The Eliza Fern she knew couldn't have been that girl...

Eliza looked in shock. "W-who said I was pregnant?"

"If you're not pregnant why are you vomiting from yesterday?"

Eliza started clucking. "Ck, Jonathan don't be weird."

Jonathan looked at Eliza disappointed. "Then why don't you go to the doctor?"

Eliza's throat was immediately blocked as Jonathan asked. I don't know why Eliza suddenly became mute. Eliza then sighed.

"N-nothing." Eliza hurriedly draped her bag. "I want to go home."

The girl got up from her seat, but her hand was held by Jonathan. Make the girl look.

"Come, I'll take you."

The man immediately moved and took his jacket that was attached near the entrance.

"Sorry, I've gone too far." He said he came out of his apartment first, leaving Eliza clueless about this kind of situation.

...-οΟο-...

Eliza did not understand what was wrong with her. When Jonathan drove him home, they didn't talk at all. Though after successfully making up with his parents, Jonathan must have a lot to talk about.

When she got home, Eliza lay on the bed. His body is completely limp. After taking Eliza, Jonathan said nothing more than to tell Eliza to rest. Eliza wondered why the man had suddenly changed.

Did the man think Eliza was really pregnant?

Eliza clucked and turned her body to the left, facing the window. Suddenly someone entered his room. Without Eliza even looking, she knew it was Carlos. He also felt the edge of his bed tremble, and Eliza felt Carlos was sitting next to her.

"Sorry I've gone too far. I didn't mean to say that."

Eliza suddenly got up from her bed and saw the figure of Jonathan sitting while looking at her full of regret.

"J-Jonathan?"

Jonathan smiled a little. "It looks like I got carried away after chatting with my mother. Sorry yes." Jonathan stroked Eliza's hair, making the girl forget how to breath for a few seconds.

Eliza immediately grabbed Jonathan's hand that was beside her head. "I understand him, it's natural. But I can't tell you why, sorry."

"Whatever the reason, it must be for your good." The man smiled sincerely, but was replied to by Eliza.

"Not my good, but everyone's good."

Again Jonathan smiled, this time more sincere than ever.

"I have to go home, Carlos gave me a minute to see you." Said.

The man then got up and ruffled Eliza's hair. "Chealing soon, yes. Next week we're ice skating."
