"What happened? I'll ask Naya to come over now." Zayn immediately took out his phone to make a call.
"No, it's alright. It's no big deal. She has taken the medicine. Just let her rest for a while and she'll be fine." Mrs. Borah turned around and took a glance at Carla. "She has just fallen asleep. I'll escort her upstairs after she wakes up. Don't worry about her. Go get busy."
"Alright then."
Zayn turned around and walked away, but he was still worried about Carla. Therefore, he called Naya and asked her to come over before he headed upstairs.
Carla finally woke up after sleeping for over an hour. She seemed like her usual self as if nothing had happened.
Mrs. Borah was worried sick about her condition. "Miss, what kind of poison is it? It seems weird."
"I have no idea." Carla touched her face and it was a bit chilly. Moreover, her clothes were soaked in sweat and she found it unbearable. "I have to go now. I need to take a shower before their class ends. Otherwise, Zayn will notice something is wrong, " she said: Dr. Goman is here. She's waiting outside. Mr. Zayn came over when you were asleep. I told him you had an upset stomach so you were taking some rest in my room. I already told him not to worry, yet he still asked Dr. Goman to check on you. Perhaps he's worried about you."
"Alright. I'll handle this." Carla walked out of the room.
Upon seeing her, Naya immediately picked up her medical kit and walked towards Carla. "Are you alright, Miss Wigston?" asked Naya.
"I'm fine. Why did Zayn summon you? I told him it's not a big deal." Carla shook her head as she replied.
"That's good to know." Naya heaved a sigh of relief. She scrutinized Carla's expression and the latter looked fine indeed. Naya took out a pack of medicine from the kit and handed it to Carla. "You can take this if you have a stomachache again."
Carla smiled at her. "Thank you, Naya. I'm sorry that you have to come all the way here."
"It's fine. Usually, I just stay in the clinic at night, but I happened to have something to deal with tonight. Your place is just on my way, so it's no trouble for me. Feel free to contact me if you don't feel well, " said Naya.
"Alright. Thank you."
After Naya left, Carla went upstairs. As she passed by the study room, the kids were laughing out loud. Her lips unwittingly curled upward upon hearing their laughter.
She headed to her room and went straight to the bathroom.
Her hair was drenched in sweat. She turned on the shower and washed herself. Suddenly, blood dripped down from her nose.
Carla was scared stiff. She quickly pinched her nose, but it wouldn't stop bleeding no matter how she tried.
She hurriedly turned off the shower and walked to the mirror to check on her nose. However, there were no signs of injury on her nose.
But blood just kept flowing out of her nose non-stop.
Carla began to panic. Does it have something to do with the poison?
Right then, footsteps could be heard outside the bathroom. Zayn was back and he was walking right towards her.
Carla immediately locked the door.
As soon as the door was locked, the doorknob was twitched from the other side.
Zayn paused his action as he realized the door was locked from the inside. "What are you doing?" he questioned.
Since the two of them started being together, they never had a habit of locking the door.
If one of them was in the bathroom, the other one could just go in anytime. They always kept the door unlocked.
Zayn was displeased by Carla's sudden change in behavior.
"I'm taking a shower." Carla held her head up in a panic, trying to stop the nosebleed.
"Then why did you lock the door?" Zayn bellowed.
"I locked it because I wanted to." Carla simply made an excuse. "Go away. Come back after I'm done."
Zayn's face turned ashen with anger, but he walked away anyway.
After a long while, the nosebleed finally stopped. She washed away the blood and cleaned herself up thoroughly, then she walked out of the bathroom in a bathrobe.
