Can You Hear Me? (SetoSorcerer) (Book 1)

Chapter 47

Harvey's POV

*************

2 weeks later....

I sat on the sofa, talking to Jordan, Tucker and Sonja who had stopped by.

Well, Sonja was comforting Crystal as she lay asleep on the other chair beside us.

He hasn't been feeling herself lately, and I've noticed that too. I hope nothing bad is happening to her.

"What do you think is wrong with her? Her skin is really pale, as if she is ill. If it was the real Crystal she would be talking to us, she knows we're here." Sonja said, tracing her hands through Crystal's hair.

I shook my head, I was genuinely worried about her. I hope she wasn't coming down with anything.

Jordan looked over at her, looking worried too.

"I'm sure she's alright." Tucker said, pointing his hand on my shoulder to comfort me.

"I hope she's alright." I replied.

Crystal moved a little bit, and opened her eyes, they had seemed to have lost their colour a little bit.

"Do you feel alright?" I asked her. She shrugged her shoulders in response to me.

"I feel...better than I did before, can we all go for a walk, I think I need some fresh air." She replied.

I looked at the others and they all nodded in reply, so I stood up and helped Crystal to her feet, she was a little shaky so I wrapped my arm around her waist to keep her steady.

Tucker held the door open for us all as we walked out, making a beeline for the park nearby.

We soon fell behind the others, so I decided to talk to her.

"How are you feeling?" I asked her.

"I feel awful, I don't know what's the matter with me, it just came on me all of a sudden." She replied.

"Well, if you're coming down with an illness, it tends to do that, one minute you're ok, the next you're feeling rubbish."

She nodded, and wrapped one of her arms around my waist.

We made it to the park finally, and I sat her down on the bench, while the others messed about on the swings.

I sat on the floor in front of her,  looking up at her. She looked genuinely unwell. Her face had gone a ghostly white and her eyes fought to stay open.

"Crystal, I need to get you home, you shouldn't be out here." I said to her. I turned to the others on the swings, letting them know we were heading home.

I helped Crystal to her feet again, and we started to walk home. I felt Crystal's grip on me disappear.

I turned around to catch her, but I found that somebody else already had before she hit the floor.

"Thank you Mitch" I said, looking at the man in front of me, holding the unharmed body of my wife.

"No problem, I could tell that was going to happen, it wasn't your fault." Mitch said, handing Crystal over to me.

I held her bridal style and thanked Mitch once again, who headed off in the opposite direction to meet up with Jerome who stood at the other side of the road.

I guess he ran over when he saw her.

I carried her the rest of the way home. Getting more and more worried as the time progressed.

What is wrong with my wife?
