BXBX NOVEL Chapter 339 - Fever
Roselyn remained in bed all day, John brought her food, kept her company, and checked on her every other hour. Elijah and Felicity also visited Roselyn a few times during the day and they send her kisses while Roselyn waved at them.
They didn't walk closer to her because she didn't want them to get a fever as well.
In the evening Roselyn felt a bit better, even if the free time she had alone in her room allowed her to think a lot about the vision she had.
She analyzed every detail, the fact her father didn't want to show his face was maybe due to the fact Roselyn didn't remember him so maybe her mind unconsciously obscured it.
Then she focused on the banshee, she closed her eyes and mentally recreated the same vision she had experienced, she traveled her gaze through the banshee, until her gaze stopped on a red-haired girl.
She set her gaze on her for a few seconds, that girl was so similar but her headache prevented her from thinking clearly.
John knocked at the door, followed by Elijah and Felicity, they ran on the bed and hugged Roselyn's feet.
"John told us we could hug your legs," Felicity murmured.
Then they leave two draws on the bedside table and take a few steps backward.
"We made two draws for you," Elijah said, pointing at the draws.
Roselyn slouched forward and took the two draws, she smiled, "thank you so much!"
"We hope you feel better," Felicity said.
John took his kid's hands and turned around, the three of them waved at Roselyn and then finally walked out.
Felicity's draw was divided into two sides, the right one portrayed Roselyn in bed, with flames of red around her forehead, and then a little girl bringing her a draw.
In the left one, Roselyn was in bed holding the draw, the red flames turned in flowers.
It probably meant that thanks to Felicity's draw, Roselyn felt better.
Elijah's draw pictured Roselyn and him, he was speeding and Roselyn clapped her hands watching him. The speed was illustrated by a blue line.
**
The next day the two draws were still on her bedside table but this time, when she woke up her forehead wasn't hot anymore.
She didn't have any vision or nightmares so she rested and fully recovered.
When she walked into the kitchen, her kids ran toward her and hugged her tightly as if they didn't see her in years. Roselyn's eyes filled in tears of commotion, but she held them back and sat on the table with her.
On that morning, they weren't silenced as usual, on the contrary, they were very talkative.
They told her mother about their day, that John made them draw and that they even cooked altogether a cake.
"I want to show you something," Felicity interrupted her brother while he talked.
Roselyn rebuked her, "let your brother finish," so she waited for Elijah patiently and when he was done with his speech she walked closer to Rose.
"Can I show you something?"
Roselyn nodded.
Felicity stretched her hand, she closed her eyes, in a few seconds the plant she was pointing at bloom.
Roselyn dropped her jaw, she couldn't believe her eyes. Her daughter practiced alone and learned on her own to grow plants.
Roselyn blinked a few times to make sure she saw it right.
"I wanted to make you a surprise and show you my progress."
Roselyn wrapped her arms around Felicity's stomach and picked her to sit her on her nap.
"I am so happy and proud of you, but promise me next time you ask me or John to attend your practice.
Felicity nodded, "okay mommy," she tilted her head to the side and Roselyn kissed her cheek.
They had breakfast together and after talking for some minutes Roselyn asked them if they enjoyed a walk since she could use some fresh air. Two maids and both her kids joined her.
They went to dress in their room while Roselyn remained alone with John.
"Are you sure you want to go out? It must be cold outside." John said.
Roselyn smiled, "it's fine. I need some air to think."
John took her hand and caressed the palm of it.
"I will go talk to Victor, now. I haven't seen him in a long time, I don't want him to get worried." John said.
"Sure. Say hi to Abigail from me." She offered a smile which John returned shyly.
He then said hi to his sons and speeded away, instead of heading to Victor's house, he speeded in Kratez to monitor the situation. He met many creatures, most of them whispered something talking and only a few of them dared to chat to John.
That was weird, when they met John they usually said hi or asked him about his life.
But not this time, it was like they were keeping something from him.
His eyebrows knitted down and he changed his destination, he turned around to speed out of Kratez when a feminine voice stopped him.
"John!"
When he turned around he recognized her, it was the woman who always intruded in John and Roselyn's plans, the same girl who made the couple argue for the first time when John called Roselyn a pawn for his plan.
"You don't even say hi," she said speeding closer to him.
She caressed his cheek with her fingers and brushed his hair with her hand as she looked down at his lips.
She tilted her head to the side, "I heard you have kids now," she said, her voice lowered down, like if she was admitting her failure.
"You lied to me when you said you weren't capable of love then." Her voice grow more altered as if she was holding back the anger.
"I didn't lie I.." John tried to talk but the girl intervened right away.
"I loved you, more than that silly banshee can ever do."
John shut his eyes for some instant not to let that saying penetrate in him much to awaken his anger, as soon as he heard someone mention Roselyn he got so mad that he could feel his blood boil in his veins.
