Betrothed To The Mafia Lord novel Chapter 68

Sofia’s POV

“Very sick?” I echoed after her as my mind started to race almost immediately.

“Yeah.” He went out today to go get something done, when he was supposed to be resting. He came back home really tired and drained, but put the thoughts about his health aside the moment he spotted you laying your back against Ryan’s arm. And then he had lifted you up and… you know the rest of the story.”

I blinked a few more times, the confusing feeling surrounding my head still not leaving my head for a moment as I absorbed all that Matilda had said to me despite the fact that I didn’t understand all that she had said.

I picked up the glass of water and took a small sip, wincing a little when my throat hurt in retaliation almost immediately, right before I set the bottle back on the counter and reached for the packed drugs sitting a few feet away from my glass of water. I dug into the bag and ruminated through it until I touched the stuff which was almost resembling candies, which the doctor had said was for sore throats. I tore open two pieces and threw the orange colored candies into my mouth and was pleased that it didn’t have a horrible taste like I had first started to unconsciously anticipated. It tasted minty and has a lime taste underneath it. All in all, it was kinda sour and minty at the same time and I loved the way the taste melted into my tongue immediately, soaking up my taste buds and sliding down my throat after a few seconds.

The pain in my throat didn’t reduce immediately, and it wasn’t like I expected it to reduce immediately– because I knew it wasn’t magic and would need some time before it started to kick into action.

I watched absentmindedly as Matilda moved around the kitchen, doing the dishes and cleaning off the counter in a really smooth way. She glided around the kitchen as she emptied the whole dirt she wiped off the counters, into one of the trash cans in the kitchen. I let out a small yawn and moved a little in my seat, feeling the urge to give in to sleep start to sink into my bones.

“You’d be heading up to get some much needed sleep, right?” I turned my head around from the kitchen’s entrance where I was staring into as my mind started to wander, to glance at Matilda on hearing her voice start to sink into my ear.

“Oh, um yeah, I’ll be going up soon.” I replied to her after a few seconds before allowing my eyes to slide shut and a small puff of breath to slide pass my slightly parted lips. I knew I was supposed to retire to bed earlier than usual tonight, because of all what had happened to me this evening, but the thought of Luca still being awake upstairs was keeping me rooted to the chair I was currently sitting on.

My stomach was starting to hurt a little— the biting pains which had been attacking different parts of my stomach had gone away a while after I started eating without me registering it, but now, a new pain was starting to settle in the lower part of my stomach, which I had no doubts was because of my period cramps.

Hopefully with the amount of drugs I had taken some minutes ago, the pain won’t attack me intensely the way it used to do on a normal day.

I lifted my left fingers up and wiped off a few droplets of sweat off my forehead before placing my elbows on the top of the counter and leaning my chin into my palm to stare at the sparkling clean washing sink which Matilda has finished cleaning up.

The urge to go upstairs, take a shower and freshen up was starting to sink into my thoughts and I moved a little on my seat, and deciding to wait a few more minutes before heading up the stairs, into the bed room.

I leaned my hands flat on the counter and rested my head on one part of my hands and started to hum a tune beneath my breath, the lower part of my stomach tightened up a little in pain and I puffed out a small breath, hating my period all over again.
