Bab 6: Chapter 06: Everything Was Because Of His Sister
The next day, when Slate woke up, he went and knock on Amethyst's unit.
It was already Monday and he has his own duty, he needs to check on her and return her keys.
Though it took her a few minutes, Amethyst was able to open the door and Slate who has a straight face furrowed his brows upon seeing her complexion.
"Don't get mad now, I did try my best to sleep properly, but ends up being awake the whole night. Don't worry I will rest today, I am not planning on opening the shop and plans on resting the whole day. I have no plans on dismissing you and Scarlet's help."
Amethyst was feeling lightheaded upon opening the door and seeing his look she instantly explained. She felt indebted towards them and when she saw him looking agitated at her condition and his eyes starting to show disappointment, she wanted to explain to him.
Slate sighed before fishing out his phone and making a call.
"I won't come in today. Take my shift."
Was all he said before ending the call, Amethyst was shock at how much he can do as he please, though she did hear from Scarlet once that Slate was a great doctor.
This somehow solidified those words.
"I... You really shouldn't have done that. I promise that I would sleep properly," was all she could say.
Slate shook his head, "If you were feeling fine, I would have asked you to check on Scarlet since she was adamant that I leave for work when she herself was not feeling well. But seeing your look, I really couldn't leave now can I?"
Amethyst opened her mouth to say that she will watch over Scarlet but it seems that Slate already knew what she wanted to say, he just raised an eyebrow towards her.
Slate thought for a bit before sighing, "It is too bothersome going back and forth, why not take a rest in our place today?"
"Huh?!? No, no, no. It is definitely alright. I promise that I would sleep properly I promise, so you really don't need to trouble yourself too much," Amethyst instantly shook her head as she heard his suggestion.
"I am suggesting this as a doctor, not as your neighbor. It is very troublesome to check on you while checking on my sister," he then replied.
"Then you really don't have to check on me. I will take proper care of myself," Amethyst answered.
"I am a doctor and have already seen your condition, it doesn't sit right with me that I am leaving you alone when I can do something instead."
Amethyst was left with no retort, for she couldn't truly take care of herself right now.
Seeing as she was still in contemplation, Slate sighed and pushed her inside her unit, "I will wait here as you prepare whatever you needed to prepare, though you really don't need anything for you will only sleep and rest over there."
Amethyst having no other choice by this sudden turn of events just took her phone and her jacket. She was still in her indoor clothes that she didn't need to change.
Slate then guided her inside their unit, she was first left in the living room as he checked on Scarlet.
She was still in deep slumber and he couldn't help but sigh at her pale face.
Whenever he needs to leave for his work, a nanny would arrive in order to help Scarlet at some things. But even then, he was still very worried about her.
Though she was adamant that he continues his work and that she would surely be fine. He knew she would feel guilty when he indeed leaves work for her so he could only hire someone to help her out.
After checking on her, he went to another room and cleaned it up a bit for it was already clean.
He was not so mindful of others sleeping in his room when almost all of his things were in the study room in their unit.
They had it reconstructed to have two rooms and a study room.
After changing the bedding and the pillow case and blanket, he went back in the living room, only to see Amethyst sitting down with her back straight.
"Don't be too uptight, I brought you here of my own accord. Someone had to watch over you as well, for your complexion speaks that you might end up getting much sicker when left alone."
Amethyst looked at him after he said this and she felt even more embarrassed.
"Then choose, do you want to go to the hospital? Or just stay here close to your place?" Slate then said after seeing how uncomfortable she is.
Amethyst knew she must not be too picky on this. It was already a good thing that he was willing to look after her plus if she declined and be stubborn on taking care of herself and end up being even more sick.
She may no longer receive their good grace but instead a cold shoulder.
She was already warned in the past to look after herself, not because they care too much but because of their current condition.
Plus, she really didn't like to repay their goodwill with ungratefulness. And this current situation was for her as well.
Amethyst looked up at him, "I really thank you for everything. I wish I would have the chance to repay you for this."
Slate still had his poker face on before gesturing to the room he had just fixed, "Go and rest now."
Amethyst took a deep breath and took him for his offer. It was very weird to receive such kind treatment from people she barely interacted with despite being neighbors for four years.
Since young, she had always took care of herself by sleeping all throughout her sickness. Her parents were always away for work while her sister only knew about herself.
That is why she ended up with that other life of hers, she finds solace in it.
She shook her head no longer wanting to think about the past.
At the same time, she was already feeling really weak after having a sleepless night once again.
The moment her head hit the pillow, she was lulled to sleep by the masculine scent of the room and the softness of the bed.
Slate who prepared for her IV drip came in and saw her fast asleep.
She had a pale face, showing how much she had had another sleepless night.
Though he too was curious seeing how pale her face would look every year on the same month, he was not too curious as to ask her about it.
It was a curiosity that is normal to every person.
He quietly entered and with his experienced hands, was able to insert the needle on her hand without difficulty and without waking her up.
He even fixed the blanket and made sure that she was comfortable before standing up.
After this, he quietly left the room and checked on his sister again.
In the hospital, he rarely makes rounds but in this place, he was actually going from one room to the other.
If anyone from his workplace were to see this, they would surely have their eyes popping out of their sockets.
He was an aloof doctor that was adored by many not just with his looks but with his capabilities as well.
But only Scarlet knew that despite his poker face, he was someone who looks after his patients with everything he got.
He was always in his office and would only come out when an operation was due and a VIP client needs to be checked.
That was how good he was, that is also why he wondered why he was taking care of his neighbor who was as good as a stranger to him.
Slate shook his head and returned to the study room. He knew everything was because of his sister who had taken a liking to this person.
