Oscar didn't know how he sat in the garden for 3 hours. For him, Victoria was above everything. Leaving her when she was hurt was more like punishing himself than her. But if he goes back, she won't realize her mistake and seeing her in bandages and all just makes him more and more upset.
It would be best for everyone if he just sat back and calm down here. This incident rewoke his traumatic memories and took away all his strength. For the first time in his life, he felt so weak. Both physically and mentally. He felt like he has no energy. He felt so tired from thinking about the past events as they caused him a severe headache. His fever wasn't helping him in any way and just worsening his pain.
Hearing her voice, he instantly felt a bit energised and finally opened his eyes. They were very tired and he had to blink twice to clear his head. He felt relaxed and free from his head-aching thoughts just by seeing her. He really doesn't understand who he was punishing.
" What are you doing here?" His voice comes out very low. Showing how tired he was.
Victoria frowned worriedly and bend down in front of him. She gently held his face with her right palm and touched his forehead with hers. Oscar looked at her in a daze. As soon as their skin touched, Victoria's frown deepened and she looked upset. Probably with herself.
She pulled back a little and held his face in her hands and looked at him worriedly in the eyes as she said.
" Oscar, your fever is getting higher and higher. Let's go back to the hospital, hmm?" She asked him very gently as she was afraid of his rejection.
When he didn't say anything, she felt more worried and started getting anxious.
" Oscar, please come with me. Your condition is worsening. I-I know you are angry but please don't take it out on yourself. After you get better, you can punish me however you want but please... Please don't punish me this way... " At the end, her voice started trembling with tears gathering in her red eyes.
" Si... "
" What?" Victoria asked as she couldn't hear him.
" Sit beside me." He barely whispered it out. Victoria was stunned for a moment but then she said.
" Later. Later okay? Let's go... "
" Shuu... Sit down." Seeing him insisting and having a hard time talking, Victoria sat down beside him.
Victoria looked at him sideways. She felt so upset with herself for making Oscar get into this condition. She had never seen him this weak ever before. For the first time, she felt that Oscar was so weak. He wasn't moving much but he still shifted a little to make her lean comfortably on the three. Seeing him frown as he touched his head, Victoria felt hurt too.
She gently held his face and carefully took him down to lay on her legs. Oscar was surprised but didn't have a chance to retaliate. As he lay in her arms, he felt comfortable and less hurt. He looked up deeply at her. She also had her head down staring at him lovingly. Then Oscar closed his eyes as he felt tired.
" Oscar... I am sorry. I am really sorry. I didn't expect things to turn out like this. However, I should have called you as soon as sensed something amiss. I should have informed my bodyguards before going. I told them you will be picking me up so they didn't follow me. I was careless. I neglected my responsibilities. I harmed you... I am really sorry Oscar. I won't repeat the same mistake again. So, please... Please stop hurting yourself because of me, hmm? I am not worth it! I only ever hurt you. Please don't get hurt because of me. I can't bear to see you getting hurt."
Oscar was silent for a long time. Finally, after a long time, he replied in a low voice as he opened his eyes.
" Just know that if you get hurt again, then I will be hurt twice more. If you really love me, just do me the favour of not getting hurt. That's all I would ever need. I could somehow breathe without you in my life but I would die without you in this world. Do you understand what I mean?"
" Hmm. Hmm! I understand. I won't do it again." Victoria replied with a smile as a few tears fell down her face to Oscar's.
Seeing her crying, Oscar sat up and leaned on the tree beside her. He hugged her in his arms and consoled her.
" It's okay now. Don't cry." Hearing him, Victoria hugged him tighter and hid her crying face in his arms.
Finally, after she calmed down, Oscar pulled her apart and wiped her tears.
" Everything's fine now."
" Hmm." Victoria nodded while her face was still in his hands. Staring at him in a daze, Victoria called him.
" Oscar... "
Oscar looked at her. Then she said in a whisper.
" I really love you." Oscar was surprised as he didn't expect her to say that at this moment. His hands slipped down to her neck. He smiled warmly at her and said.
" I know. I love you too." And then before he could say anything else, Victoria gently kissed him.
It was a very calm and relaxing kiss. A beautiful kiss expressing their current feelings. They finally let go of everything and loved each other as much as they want without restraining themselves. However, they were both very sick and didn't have much energy to go on. When they pulled apart, Victoria told him.
" Let's go back now. I don't want your condition to get worse than it already is." Saying that she remembered him taking out the syringe roughly and frowned. She took his hand and held his wrist. Seeing the wound formed from it, she felt bad. She kissed his wound and pulled him up.
Hand in hand, they slowly walked back to the hospital which drained their energy but they finally reached the ward. The doctor scolded them a little for taking their health so lightly. After being put back on the insulin, they drank some chicken soup. Then they went back to sleep in each other's arms.
