It All Starts With a Lie

A New Mission

Chapter 15: A New Mission

When Ella woke up, she found herself in a bed in a hospital room. Exo was sitting on a chair beside the bed. He was holding her hands keeping the other hand over her hand which he had held, resting his head on his hand.

"Am I dead?" Said, Ella.

Listening to this, Exo stood his head up and looked at her. It was a relief for him to see her well and speak.

"Why did you bring me to the hospital? I would've been fine if I had taken some rest." Continued Ella.

"Your blood pressure problems are going serious. The doctor said you need a lot of rest. It would be nice if you don't go anywhere and get some rest for a few weeks." Replied Exo.

"I can't..." Before Ella could complete the sentence, Keris entered the room.

"Are you alright? It doesn't happen frequently, tell me what's the reason? Have you eaten well?" Said Keris.

Ella replied, "Don't worry. It's because I'm not eating well."

Keris asked, "How many days have you not eaten?"

Ella replied, "It's just that I'm not eating well."

Keris replied, "Exo. Tell me."

Ella intruded, "He doesn't know. (by pointing her fingers towards Exo and looking at him) Exo you don't know."

Keris shouted to Ella, "You Shut up. Don't speak when two gentlemen are speaking. "

Ella replied to Keris, "Huh. You and gentleman?"

Keris continued to ask Exo, "Tell me. What is she doing with her health?"

Ella intruded and ordered, "Exo, if you'll speak trust me your vacation with your family will be canceled."

Exo replied, "I'm helpless. I can't speak."

Hearing this, Keris was all shut up. He didn't know what to say. He was quiet and his face was with no expression at that time.

Looking at his face Ella understood Keris's situation. She said, "See. Every witness here is with me."

In aggression, Keris replied, "They are with you because you are blackmailing them. Okay then, if you'll not tell me, I'll tell the truth to Mom and Dad about your condition."

After this, Ella didn't have any options. She said, "Okay! I'm telling you. I'm telling."

Exo laughed a little and pressed his lips together to prevent laughing. Looking at him, Ella in anger took the pillow where she kept her head and stood up in a sitting position, throwing the pillow to Exo, where he caught it and started to laugh again.

She yelled in anger to Exo, "You, Stop laughing!"

Exo pressed his lips together and tried to stop laughing, putting his finger on his lips.

Whereas, Keris was serious and his ears were waiting for the answer from Ella.

Ella replied, "I-I-It's one and a half."

Keris was shocked to hear that. He stamped his foot in anger and a loud noise was produced, "I just don't understand, how can a person dislike food?"

Ella shouted, "I don't like their taste."

Keris asked, "Who?"

Ella replied, "Who else? Jason and his family."

Keris asked, "What happened? Is there anything Jason did?"
