Chapter 63
Sofia’s POV
“Are there any other side effects it brings you?” He asked and I nodded my head before starting to list
them, “Lots of headache and body pains, drowsiness, nauseous feeling, weakness, mood swings and
moodiness.”
“Whoa. That’s a lot of side effects, that might as well be one of the reasons as to why you pass out.” He
started to say before scribbling down on his book once again.
“I’ll give you a few things for your period side effects, and something for you to use for your headache
and stomach pains.” Tyler informed me and I nodded my head at him, feeling extremely grateful to him
and thankful that I didn’t have to go to the hospital tonight all because I had stupidly made use of some
drugs on an empty stomach when I wasn’t supposed to, and had ended up passing out.
“Also, have you been overthinkingtely?” He suddenly started to ask again and I stared confusedly at
him, wondering why he was asking me such a weird question at the moment.
“Doesn’t everyone overthink?” The words that popped into my head were out my lips before I could
blink and I watched as he chuckled a little before shaking his head. “No, everyone do not overthink.”
“Oh.” I stated, feeling dumb all over again.
I mean, I used to think it was pretty normal for everyone to overthink. Because how won’t people
overthink when there’d be so much going on in their lives, the way they didn’t want it to turn out.
Or, if the said person was in my shoes, they’d undoubtedly over think way more than I do, I was a
hundred percent sure of that.
“Your blood pressure level is high, although it isn’t that high, but it’s way higher than normal, which is a
sign of you overthinking.” Tyler started to say again and my mouth opened and closed and opened
again but nothing audible came out. I had no idea my blood pressure was taken… it had probably been
taken when I had still been passed out.
“Please don’t overthink, that was one of the reasons as to why you passed out, along with the amount
of stress you’re always putting your brain to.” Tyler started to say again and I groaned low in my throat,
when was he going to be done listing my problems and give me some drugs to use so I could take
them and try to get some sleep.
Ugh.
“Your stress level is high as well, your pulse was really running fast too.” He continued and I breathed
out a sigh and nodded my head at him, back to tangling my fingers with one another on my thighs once
again.
I couldn’t help it.
I was starting to feel really small once again.
Just what would Luca be thinking now? After listening to the doctor list off my whole health problems
before him like it was a very normal thing to do.
He’d probably be irritated with how different parts abd areas of my health have one problem or the
other.
Which was his fault after all. If he hadn’t agreed to marry me in ce of the stupid loan he had given to
my father, who had greedily lost it while gambling – I was most definitely sure I wouldn’t be here at the
moment.
But then…
If all that hadn’t happened, I might have ended up being given in marriage to someone who was a true
monster.
I shivered a little, dread sliding over my whole skin almost immediately, making me recoil and try to
unconsciously scratch the feeling off my exposed skin of my thighs.
“What’s wrong?” I jolted a little the moment Luca’s deep voice drilled into my head unexpectedly. I
shook my head, feeling heat rush into my face almost immediately as I started replying to his question,
refusing to nce up at him. “Um, nothing. Nothing’s wrong.”
“Do you have an appetite, Mrs Ri?” Tyler started to ask and I looked up from my thighs to stare at
him, thankful that his question had stopped Luca from asking me another question if he had wanted to.
I shrugged my shoulders a little while drawing tiny patterns on the small exposed skin of my left thighs.
“I don’t think so, my mouth tastes a little bitter at the moment, but I think that’s because of my period…”
I trailed off at thest statement and stared down back at the pale skin of my thighs, the bright lights of
the sitting room making it gleam right there on the couch.
“Alright, thank you ma’am.” He replied to my answer before finally pushing himself up from his
crouched position and turning around to walk back toward the other side of the room.
And I was once again left with Luca.
I felt his stare on me without looking up at him and knew I might end up passing out again if I nced
up at him and end up locking eyes with him.
I nce up, towards the side where the television was hanging off the wall to check the wall clock
which was positioned a few feet above the television. It was currently some minutes past nine p.m in
the night and I started to wonder just how long it has been since I passed out.
I had passed out for over an hour?
The man finally returned towards where I was seated on but didn’t crouch down beside the couch this
time. I watched from the sides of my eyes as Luca walked away from the spot he had been standing in
for some time now, to make his way out of the sitting room into where I had no idea was his destination.
He ced a temperature checker beneath my armpits and asked me to tighten my arm around it before
he headed back towards the couch in the far end of the sitting room, sorting through a lot of things that
was in there and thumbing through different kinds of medicines that were right there on the couch.
He returned back and took the temperature checker out of my armpit after it beeped loudly, vibrating
against the insides of my armpit. He stared at the results on the checker before staring down at me and
back up at the checker. He finally raised his palm and rested it against my forehead, and left it there for
a few long seconds before dragging his hand away and returning back towards the end of the sitting
room where he quickly picked up his book to scribble something on.
“You don’t have a problem with mixing some of these into a bottle of water and drinking it from tonight
into tomorrow, do you?” He suddenly asked and I nced up at him from my hands wrapped against
my middle finger, stared at him and the orange squared shape wrapper he was holding up in his right
hand.
“Um, is it bitter?” I asked timidly, flushing a little in embarrassment when he chuckled a little before
shaking his head in reply.

“It’s almost tasteless, except for a slight sore taste which you’d feel on your tongue and at the back of
your throat once you’re done drinking it.” He replied and I wrinkled my nose in disgust, it sounds really
bad.
“Your facial expression says it all, but you’d have to try to drink it because it would help you regain your
strength really fast.” He started to say without looking at me, back to scribbling something down on his
book once again.
“Here are the set of tablets you’re to make use of tonight, after you’ve eaten, not before you eat.” He
started to say after a little while and I nodded my head once even though he wasn’t staring at me, still
feeling deeply feeling at the whole thing that had happened to me this evening after I had stupidly taken
those set of tablets.
That reminds me…
I moved my right arm a little, lifting the arm up and it didn’t hurt at all, not one jolt of pain flowed through
the veins.
So I guess the drugs I took had payed off a little? Even though it has ended up making me experience
a lot of stomach pain and also made me psss out.
It had also made me experience so much embarrassment before Luca, this evening.
Ugh.
My life was just so… it was just so not it at the moment. It wasn’t moving in the way I’d want it to go on
a normal day.
“These ones are the ones you’re to use starting from tomorrow, in the morning before nine a.m in the
morning. After eating, not before eating or on an empty stomach.” He started to say again and I
scowled a little, starting to feel a little bit hurt that he’d think I was that dumb to still make use of drugs
on an empty stomach after seeing what had happened to me this evening.
“I know. I know. I won’t make use of them before eating or on an empty stomach like I had said before.”
I started to say to him a few secondster and I watched as he nced up from the book he was
scribbling on to stare at me in surprise, his eyes widening a little.
“Oh- I…” He trailed off and started walking towards me, “I am so sorry if I had made you feel like you
were dumb or something, ma’am. It wasn’t part of my intentions to be very honest, I was just trying to
confirm that you got that particr detail well because it is really important.” He started to say almost
immediately, apologizing to me and still seeming a bit shocked that I had said what I said.
“It’s alright, it really is. I just didn’t like nor appreciate the way you kept cing so much emphasis on
that particr detail, it made me feel like you still thought I’d make use of some set of tablets on an
empty stomach after seeing what had happened to me this evening.” I said to him with a little shrug
while breathing out a slow breath.
“I apologize for the misunderstandings and misinterpretations.” He said once again and I nodded my
head at him without saying a thing again. He proceeded to show me the rest of the drugs and how I
was supposed to make use of them.
They consisted of some tablets, capsules, some powdered stuff which I was supposed to mix in a
bottle of warm water and drink for strength, and some thighs that looked like candy which was
supposed to help with my sore throat.
I nodded my head along with him as he exined how I was supposed to use everything right before
he had everything packaged and handed it over to me in a ck square shaped carton.
“Thank you so much, Mr Tyler.” I started to say to him. “I am sorry for putting you through stress this
evening and I really appreciate youing over to see to my health problems.” I continued, feeling a
little proud that my voice wasing out really strong and that all what I had said to him just now felt
like something a very mature person would say.
Someone who’s a child wouldn’t have been able to think about all these.
Which means I was indeed maturing, something I was extremely d about.
“That’s all, Tyler, right?” I heard Luca’s voice echoed throughout the sitting room from a spot behind me
and quickly turned my head around to check where he was speaking from.
He was leaning against the wall, a few feet away from the doorway leading out of the sitting room and I
turned my head back around and stared back down at my thighs the moment after our eyes had locked
and held for a fleeting second.
Luca had been there this whole time?
