LOVESICK

Chapter Thirty Eight: Liar

Its been a week now,yes,Ivan did wake up and i stayed by his side ever since with the protection provided by Eric,i was good,or I should've been good.

Ivan doesn't seem right,he is healthy now And healing faster than a normal person,his surgery is going great and he is finally stopped receiving blood because his body has just enough,

He isn't on oxygen masks anymore and is able to eat by himself,
But he seemed distant from me,he seemed off and uncomfortable around me,his responses became cold and he often ignores me or doesn't try to talk about anything with me,

"That's it Irene thank you," he turned away unable to eat anymore,i put down the spoon,
"Are you sure?" I asked and he just nodded in response,

I picked up the tray to put it on the desk nearby so that he could rest,
"Did you talk to Doctor Olivia?" He asked but as if he didn't need an answer,
"No I didn't,I didn't have time to" i put the tray down accidentally dropping the glass of water,the glass shattered on the ground and i sighed in annoyance,

I kneeled down to pick the pieces up so that no one hurts themselves with it,my mind was too crowded I didn't pay attention to what i was doing,so I cut my hand with the glass,

"Ah! Shit!" I groaned as the cut felt like it was burning,it wasn't deep enough for stitches but it definitely wasn't a small finger cut,
"Why aren't you careful?-" Ivan said removing the covers and almost came to my aid but oddly enough he stopped and acted as if nothing happens,

"Are you Okay Ma'am? Eric walked in quickly taking the glass pieces from my other hand and checking my cut,he took out a napkin from his back pocket and put it on my cut,the napkin slowly started to soak up the blood,
"You should clean this cut or else it will get infected," he continued,
"Hold tight," he placed my other hand on the napkin and helped me up,

I looked at Ivan who didn't care what was happening whatsoever,
Why is he like this? Did Kiel tell him something? Is he mad at me?

"I'm okay Eric I don't need any cleaning" I slipped my arm away from his grip,
"It's not okay to leave it-" he continued but i shushed him,
"I'm not asking you to leave me,it's an order"
I replied,

"What's happening?" Xavier walked in
Suspiciously,
"Nothing" I replied "nothing's happening,
Eric you may leave"
Eric nodded and left leaving Xavier,Ivan and I alone,i sat on the couch pressing the napkin gently on my cut to stop the bleeding.

"What's New?" Ivan asked,
Xavier put his hands behind his back and looked at me then back to Ivan signaling him that he's unable to say anything because I'm around,

"Dime" Ivan replied back in Spanish,
He knows Spanish???
"ella no puede entender.." his accent was on point,he could talk perfect Spanish,

"el no esta de nuestro lado..." Xavier sighed and replied back,i was completely confused,what the actual hell were they talking about,I'm clueless to what it could be
"el esta planeando algo, y no es bueno para nosotros" Xavier continued

Ivan suddenly chuckled as if he's making fun of or mocking something or someone,
"Crees que estoy asustado?" He smirked,
"You wish." He finally switched back to English,

"tu chica esta en peligro! no es una broma!" Xavier snapped
"Puedo proteger a Irene!" He yelled back in anger
"No you can't. You couldn't even protect her identity,how did we find out her true identity then?!" Xavier yelled back

"She's dead to the police her case is closed!" Ivan replied
"Once Kiel gets his hands on the unguarded files at home he'll reopen the case and you're sending us all to jail!" Xavier explained
"You had to be careful.."
