148 Love can take it all
Veronica was in a bad mood after the dinner. She was like that after seeing the man who killed her mother. Tony notice it since he's been observant of her mood. They will soon get married so he has to know her more. Even though she might be a killer, he will still marry her. No matter what her past is and what she is, he already accepted it and had thought the possible worst about her.
"You okay?"
"Yeah."
"Okay. You don't look like one." He drove out from the parking lot to the penthouse.
"Drop off in my unit."
"Why?" He glance at her.
"I'm sleeping there."
He didn't say anything at all. Does she want to be alone tonight? Well, he didn't want to.
"Then, I'll sleep with you."
"There's no need. You can go back to your house." She said it monotonously like a robot.
"You don't want anymore?"
"Not at this ti." Her voice was cold as ice. How did she beco like that in a snap? Well, won and their mood swings.
They were both quiet as Tony drove her to her unit. He park by the corner of the building and follow her inside. Veronica was ignoring him like he was an air. He didn't want to leave her alone. He didn't want to be alone tonight or the following days or never. He just want her but he doesn't know how to understand her situation.
"I can sleep on the couch." He said for the first ti since they enter the room.
Veronica look at him and almost smack her head. But Veronica's mood wasn't just because of Francisco but an unknown ssage from soone. It wasn't black mail but a ssage that will make her worried like hell.
Dearest Lily,
Catastrophe will never see you anymore.
Cupid.
Those words ant sothing. She didn't know what happened to Catriona. It might be worst.
"Co here." Tony pull her to his chest and pats her head. "What are you worrying about?"
"Please go ho." She said.
"I can sleep on the sofa so I won't bother you."
"Tony…"
"Just let stay, okay? I an no harm."
Veronica did let him stay. He sleep on the bed beside her, but she's sitting and leaning on the headboard thinking about Catriona and the ssage. What did Eros do this ti to her sister? She understand that he was obsessed with her but why? Why does he have to hurt her? She couldn't help it but to call Catriona it was ringing and she walk to the window.
"Hello?"
"Tell what he did to you." She said in low voice.
"I am fine. You'll know soon. I will be ho in a few week. But don't tell Enzo, please."
Veronica pinch the space between her brows and her eyes heated up and she clenches her fist as her nails dug on her palm.
"Catriona, I will fucking kill you if you don't tell this instant."
"Veronica, let's not talk it over phone. It's better if we et personally."
"You can't see anymore?" Catriona on the other line was quiet.
Tony who was lying on the bed was a light sleeper since Veronica isn't sleeping and he listen to her talking on the phone in a low and dangerous voice. He move sideways and watch her mutter on the phone then she hang up and look out the window.
Veronica glance behind her, she knows that he was watching her. So Tony didn't pretend or anything. He sat up and wait for her to talk to him but nothing happened. She look out the window and the room was still quiet. He wasn't sleepy at all. He wanted her to be in his arms. Yet her mood ruins it all. He didn't bla her. Sothing bad happened and she was in rage.
Then she finally went to bed and he pull her into his arms and they both lay down, her pillowing on his chest. He brushes his fingers on her hair to help soothe her mood.
"I won't ask if you are okay. Sleep it all."
"Hmm."
???
Catriona looks like she didn't sleep for a week. Her lips are dry and the doctors said that it wasn't part of the symptoms. It was probably depression. She keep on sleeping and she only eat a little. But Tequila monitors her to ensure she eat every al. She only eat a little. It's been eight weeks and she is still the sa.
Veronica call every week to check on her. Then Tequila receive his first hearing aid. He could now hear and Sabrina was still collecting the best doctors to cure him so he'll be back to normal. The sa with Catriona.
"You have to at least eat more. You are getting thinner." He said.
"I can't see the world anymore, Bert." She said.
"Don't worry, we are finding a way to cure you."
"It's so hard and depressing to be like this…" She mutter as she closed her eyes and listen to everything.
"Just think that we are on training."
She stood and walk to the bathroom since she knows where it is. It is their last day in the hospital and soon, she'll be in her own farm away from people. She caress her fingertips on the wall until she found the sink. She hold there and she start vomiting.
Tequila runs to her and pats her back. She keeps on vomiting until she get dizzy. She use her hand to search for the faucet and she turn it on. She bent down and was her mouth.
"Are you okay?"
Then a doctor ca. She wasn't under dication and the results of her latest examination will be released. Tequila lead her to the bed and the doctor check her eyes. She can't see anything. But it shows stress and depression.
"You might need to stop getting depress." The doctor said. "Your latest examination." She gave it to Albert. "It shows that you are pregnant. We haven't notice it at first but now it shows the result."
Albert was surprised and then he look at Catriona's expressionless face.
"She's pregnant?" Albert wanted to confirm it again.
"Yes, eight weeks." The doctor confird.
"Can we leave now?"
"I'll advice you to see an obstetrician." The doctor was concerned about her condition. "The drug that was injected to you might affect the baby…"
"We are leaving." Catriona said.
