Gideon

After they left the orphanage

Gideon was sitting at the front of the carriage while the two maids were seating behind him. They were now far from the orphanage and only the small light from the lamp had given their figures a bit shape in the dark. His attention stuck on the road, but his ears were paying attention to the two maid’s conversation.

“Diana, why are you taking your clothes off?” it was the red-haired lady who spoke with a confused tone, he heard while his eyes were on the two horses.

Gideon wants to turn around to confirm if it is true but he can’t. He can’t be distracted while on his reins.

“ I f-feel so hot,” Diana spoke in a weak voice.

"then just wait..” Anna’s weary.

“I don’t know. I feel dizzy, for goodness sake. What’s happening to me?” Diana murmured. her voice was not that loud. she sounds so weird from the back and Gideon never expected that he would have strange passengers tonight. Then he heard a little thud at the back, he was a little startled because it was a bit loud.

“Hey, what's the fuzz there?” he asked the two while his eyes were on the road.

“Uhm, Diana’s acting strange right now. Hey! Seriously, Diana, you want to get naked here?” Anna was flustered.

Gideon just stayed in his seat and didn’t bother to look back. now he heard a little commotion at the back but he didn't budge from his seat. he heard some whispers between the two maids until Anna snarled at Diana with a low voice. he can't hear the both of them but he tried to listen.

"Diana!" Anna blurted out.

Gideon's brows turned up in curiosity as he thought that something was going on at the back. he wants to halt the wagon but he waited for a moment.

as long as it takes, he doesn't want to intervene with these ladies. the two ladies didn't even make a sound as moments passed by, and now Anna spoke with hesitation.

"Mr. Gideon, we need some help here." Anna quavered in concern... "Diana's acting so weird. She's having a fever, sweating all over." this time, Gideon stopped the wagon immediately and turned to the two girls. .

"Yeah, you're making so much fuzz at my back. It's a little annoying, for the old man, you know." he tried to be sound so neutral but he can't hide his annoyance. "what happened?"

"I can't stop her. She's acting so strange. She's not usually being like this." Anna blurted with a worried tone while Diana was lying on her lap. The hems of her dress were a little bit exposing her other thigh. It must have been warm inside the clothes she's wearing.

Gideon wants to look away while he stared at the exposed shoulders of Diana. she was lying on Anna's lap while her eyes were closed.q

Tch. . .how foolish.

Gideon huffs as he thought about what could be influencing Diana in this condition.

"I'll drop you to your destination. you need to soak her with water." Gideon dryly said as he turned away from them. he even shook his head.

he was completely careless tonight. someone else had also drunk the beverage that he brought to the orphanage.

"How do you even know that water would help?" Anna asked.

of course, she would ask.

"The tea that I made was not just an ordinary tea. she possibly drank it." Gideon replied and signaled the horses to stride. The wagon moved.
