Chapter 2658
She had never been so embarrassed in her life. That evening she had been bragging to her family about her cooking, and at that moment, she was grateful that she had not told any of her friends about her first attempt at cooking, but if she had told them, she would never have admitted to the food poisoning part of her cooking endeavor."Where are you right now?" Eric asked hastily, not understanding how her family was unaware of Layla's state if she was living with them."I moved out..." Layla mumbled before gagging."Send me the location. I will bring a doctor over right away." Hearing her gagging over the phone, Eric immediately hurried out of the bedroom.Layla hung up and sent him the location of her apartment. All she could think of was that she needed to recover as soon as possible; she had promised her father that she would go home this Friday, and if she failed to make a full recovery by then, she would not be able to go home. She did not want her family to know because th

Eric sighed in resignation. He was not trying to lecture her and had only hoped that she would prioritize her health. However, he understood that she was not in the mood for a lecture since she was feeling unwell.He took the empty glass from her and set it down on the nightstand.The doctor returned with the IV bag, and when Eric realized that there was nothing in the room that could be used to hang the IV bag, he exited her room to see if there was anything around her apartment that could be used. Unfortunately, he could not find anything suitable."Mr. Santos, why don't you hold the IV bag? I will go back to the hospital and get an IV stand," the doctor said.Eric immediately accepted the IV bag from the doctor and nodded.Layla lay in bed with her eyes open, unable to sleep."I feel like I just keep messing things up," she thought to herself."Doctor, will she vomit again?" Eric asked as the doctor was about to leave."I can't say. Maybe," the doctor said. "If she wants to

Eric stilled at the question."Did something happen?"Eric had not cut ties with them on purpose, but ever since Layla had asked him out, he had gotten the feeling that neither Elliot nor Avery wanted to see him. So, he took it upon himself to stay out of their sight."Yeah! Something big happened," Layla said. "You should ask Mom!""I won't pry if your mom didn't tell me about it.""And that's why I'm saying that you didn't keep in touch. Is it because of your girlfriend? It's like you don't care about what happens to us anymore."Eric was rendered speechless."Wait, it was probably inappropriate for me to ask you to come here, isn't it? Is your girlfriend living with you?" Layla came to a sudden realization. "Why don't you give me the IV bag and go home?""She doesn't stay with me." Eric refused to move. "It's late. Just go to sleep and stop overthinking things.""What about you?""I will wait until the IV bag is empty.""What then? If I fall asleep, are you just going to

Seeing that Layla was already asleep, the doctor whispered, "Your arm must be numb by now.""I'm fine."The two exited the room."Does she still need to be dripped tomorrow?" Eric asked as he flexed his wrist."Depends on her condition tomorrow. If the vomiting stops by tomorrow, she won't need to be dripped and will just need to finish her medication," the doctor said. "It's crucial that she does not consume any rich food. She should recover by next week.""It will take a week?""Yeah. It's best that she rests and only consume food that is easy on the stomach, like soup, till she gets better."Eric fell silent. Layla had told him that she will be going home this Friday. Taking the doctor's advice into consideration, she might not be able to go home.The next morning, Layla woke up starving. She pushed away the blankets and left the bed in search of water. The room swayed when she stood up, and she leaned against the wall for support. Supporting herself against the wall, she

"What are you talking about? He has a girlfriend. I was going to call Robert last night but called him by mistake.""So he came over last night to look after you?" Amy asked excitedly."Yeah. Don't read too much into it. He brought a doctor over to give me an IV infusion, and I fell asleep halfway.""Oh. What happened, Layla? Are you running a fever? I remember that you suffered from food poisoning last time, and you came down with a fever then…""I don't have a fever... but I feel worse. I didn't vomit as much back then either. I feel like I'm puking my guts out," Layla said. Suddenly, her stomach twisted, and she scowled."I had an IV infusion and took the medication I am supposed to, how am I still nauseous?" she thought to herself.Layla wanted to run to the bathroom but realized there was no time and vomited into the trash can next to her."Why are you still vomiting? I thought that you had been examined by a doctor?" Amy frantically stroked Layla's back before reaching for

Amy squeezed two drops of eye drops into both her eyes and crawled into bed next to Layla. Layla took a deep breath and made the call. Eric stood by the bedroom door to watch the two.Avery answered the call right away, and Layla started lying through her teeth. "Mom, I can't come home this weekend! Amy got dumped, and I need to stay with her this weekend!"Avery was taken by surprise at first, but soon noticed Amy, who appeared to be sobbing next to Layla."Amy, it's going to be alright. Don't cry!" Avery had met Amy before. Layla had brought her home for dinner, Avery's impression of Amy was that she was a polite and enthusiastic young woman."Aunty, I'm just so upset... I need Layla to stay with me for a few days... Is that okay with you?" Amy sobbed, tears rolling down her cheeks."Of course... I know that you two are close. Layla will stay with you then. Don't get too upset, okay?" Avery said hastily. "You will definitely find a better boyfriend in the future. If you broke

Eric re-entered the apartment with the business card in hand. After saving Amy's contact on his phone, he put the card away in a drawer.Remembering that Layla had vomited after breakfast, he hurried into the kitchen to take the fruits he had bought.The doctor had told him that she could not eat anything cold so he washed the apples and steamed them.Apples were not as acidic as some of the other fruits and would be perfect for Layla, who was having a stomach ache.Once the apples were steamed, he took them out and cut them into pieces before carrying the plate of apples into the bedroom.Layla was lying in bed with her phone."I bought some fruit. Do you want some?" Eric set the plate down on the nightstand. "Have you taken your medicine?"Layla immediately set her phone down and reached for the plate. After vomiting, her stomach was completely empty and she was starving."I took it. Should I have taken it before breakfast? I forgot to take it this morning," Layla said as she

"This is proof that I'm better now. I didn't have the energy to ask you these questions last night!" Layla leaned against the headrest. "Aren't you going to bring me my skincare products, too?"Eric carried the bucket away and went into the bathroom to collect her skincare products.Layla had just moved in and did not have many belongings with her, so he spotted the skincare products right away."I just need lotion. I don't need the rest." Layla did not have the energy for a long skincare routine. "You said that you are staying here, but my guest bedroom isn't ready, so how exactly are you going to stay here? You can't just sleep on the couch all week... You don't have your personal belongings, too...""I will get someone to send them over later. Don't worry about me"You are probably just as clueless as me in regards to taking care of yourself, right? You've been served by others most of your life, and you haven't even tried taking care of others." Layla knew that Eric would not
