"No…" Carla struggled as she refused to go. "We're going to get married tomorrow. How can I still go to the hospital…"
"Shut up!" Zayn snapped as he carried her into the car.
"Mr. Zayn, shall I come along?" Mrs. Borah was worried.
"Get in."
As the car started moving, Benard gave Naya a call to get ready.
When Naya heard that Carla had a relapse, she quickly called Hapilia and Ladona at once.
The moment Zayn arrived at the hospital with Carla and Mrs. Borah, Naya was already waiting. She gave Carla the exact treatment used previously, which included a herbal bath and acupuncture.
However, when there wasn't any tainted blood being expelled this time, Hapilia furrowed her eyebrows and didn't say a word.
Naya then dragged Hapilia outside and asked anxiously, "Hapilia, did Dr. Feroma tell you about alternative ways of treating her? Is there any other way?"
"Dr. Goman, you have asked me the same question many times. There really isn't any, " Hapilia replied in disappointment. "At that time, Dr. Feroma was still researching new techniques. He met with the accident before he could produce any results."
Having heard those words, Naya fell silent. Other than waiting for Dr. Feroma to recover, there didn't seem to be any other options.
"When will Dr. Feroma wake up?" Ladona inquired anxiously. "If he manages to do so, Miss Wigston can then be saved."
"I, too, look forward to the day he wakes up. But as of now, sigh…"
Naya sighed and didn't what to say.
"Miss, are you feeling any better?"
Mrs. Borah was extremely distraught as she looked at Carla's pale face.
With hardly any strength, Carla laid groggily in the bathtub.
"Don't worry, you will be fine in no time." Zayn caressed Carla's face as he comforted her in a gentle tone. "Try and get some sleep. You will feel much better after that."
"Mmm-hmm, " Carla grunted in acknowledgment as she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
"Mr. Giblo…"
Naya entered, wanting to update Zayn on Carla's condition. However, she didn't know where to start.
"I'll be taking her home."
Zayn didn't ask as he was cognizant of the situation Carla was in.
"Right away." Naya and Hapilia bathed Carla and got her dressed.
Carrying her out, Zayn headed back home with her. Inside the car, he held her tightly in his embrace, worried that she would disappear the moment he let go.
Mrs. Borah couldn't help but shed a tear at the tragic sight in front of her.
Back at home, Zayn carried Carla back to their room and placed her on the bed. At that moment, she suddenly awoke and mumbled, "Don't worry. I'll be better after getting some sleep."
"Mmm-hmm." Zayn kissed her on her forehead and lay down beside her.
Underneath the dim light, he stared at her beautiful face. His heart was in turmoil and filled with all sorts of emotions.
He hated himself for failing to protect her and not realizing the problem earlier. He also regretted not treasuring the beautiful times that they shared…
After everything that had happened, he put her through a lot. Even then, she was still being tormented by pain.
In his heart, he swore that he would find the antidote.
Throughout the night, Zayn watched over Carla. It wasn't until dawn that he finally fell asleep.
Not long after he did, he was suddenly awoken by a sound. When he realized Carla wasn't beside him, he suddenly panicked and jumped out of bed to look for her.
When he heard the sound of flowing water in the bathroom, he dashed in like an arrow.
"Good morning!" Carla was bathing and washing her hair. She looked vibrant and energetic. It was as if she had become a totally different person from yesterday.
"Do you feel better now?" Zayn stared at her in shock.
"I'm fine." Carla let out a delightful smile as she wiped the water off her face. "Today, I shall be the most beautiful bride ever!"
"You are already gorgeous, " Zayn smirked as he looked at her longingly. "Take your time. I'll use the other bathroom."
"Mmm-hmm."
