Indecisive

Chapter 20

Eventually, I told Clark about the situation that I am in, within one and a half hour. The whole time his eyebrows were knitted as if he could sew a piece of clothing out of them. His unreadable expression worries me a lot.

In the past, my circle of friends remained to be less than five. I had always wondered why my new found friends would talk to me in the morning and avoid me in the afternoon.

It was until when I met Zen that he told me Clark interrogated him during lunch. The Clark then, threatened all my friends with their own personal background, forcing them to spill the truth for being my so-called "friends".

It was then I realised, my brother actually loves me. He wasn't ruining my life, though I was quite lonely by his act.

"Do you like any of them?" Clark said without looking up at me. He looked downwards at his crossed legs on the sofa, facing me. I saw the wrinkles on his hands. He was ageing more than he was supposed to.

"I don't know." I was afraid of him. Afraid of his reaction. He played with his toes and finally looked up at me, smiling.

My brother... looked a lot older than before. Or in fact, he looked older than just now. The dark circles around his eyes seemed darker, his skin paler and his smile weaker.

"Clark, what happened to you? You look... sick. Really sick. Not the toilet kind of sick."

"I'm..."

Right before my eyes he fell off the sofa, slamming hard on the floor. I watched him fall and laid there motionless. I was waiting nervously for him to get up, telling me it was all a joke but he did not move for a whole minute or so.

I rushed forward and used all my strength to turn him over, only to see his face turned white.

He had fainted for the first time ever. "Clark!!"

I panicked and was desperate to find someone for help. Of all times, he had to faint when all the housekeepers went out to buy groceries and necessities.

I ran up to my room and grabbed my mobile phone. My tears were forming, covering my vision. I keyed the number of our private family doctor, which has all our information of where we stay and such.

It was picked up within 3 rings. I ran back to where my brother is, as I was on the phone.

"Hi, Miss! Clark Levin has fainted in his respective family house! I'm his sister calling, can you please send the ambulance here as soon as possible?!"

"Please maintain your calm. We will be there in 5 minutes, Ms Levin."
