Chapter 26

Isabella's POV
I will not back down from the plan that Ethan and I have agreed on. Until I find the real answer to what happened. Ethan then invited me back to sleep and, for a moment, forgot about the strange incident earlier. The incident was beyond reason and not so meaningful if we had to think hard tonight. We should rest tonight and start acting tomorrow morning when our bodies are fresh again.
"Let's go back to sleep! Forget about earlier, tomorrow we have to do activities."
"Umm, okay."
Ethan grabbed my head with his arm so that I could lean back and lie down on his lap. Slowly, my eyes began to dim, and I fell asleep too. Until I found it was morning and I woke up earlier than Ethan. As usual, I did my cleaning activities first. Then, I cooked and prepared breakfast for the two of us to eat this morning.
Ethan had not woken up until finally I finished cooking and had served the food on the dining table. I immediately called him and approached him in the bedroom. Maybe he was still fast asleep.
"Ethan... Honey..."
I shouted from outside the room while walking towards him into our room.
"Honey, wake up; breakfast is ready; it'll get cold." I had arrived in front of him. But he was still asleep on the bed.
I sat beside him and tried to touch him to wake him up. But it turned out...
"Gosh."
I touched his forehead and neck with the back of my hand. I did it several times but the results were the same.
"Ethan, do you have a fever? Are you okay?" I really felt panicked and worried and anxious at his sudden condition. His body temperature rose drastically and was high. It was very hot, and I took the health box and tried to measure it with a thermometer, and the results were very high.
"Oh my gosh, Ethan, why is it like this? You really have a fever; your body temperature is very hot."
"Eeemm, eeemm" he whined while closing his eyes.
I immediately took a compress and applied it. Then made a potion to lower his body temperature.
Putting the Compress on his forehead. I saw that he was starting to calm down and was no longer restless like before. I immediately ran to the kitchen to make a simple potion for him to consume. I hope he can drink it and start to get better. I did it quite quickly and returned to the room while carrying the potion that I had prepared. Hmm. Maybe the food on the table is getting cold. But let me not care too much, the important thing is that Ethan recovers and recovers soon.
When I arrived in the room, I went back to his position which was still lying down. I checked his body temperature again and it had gone down quite a bit.
"Emm.."
"Huh, finally you woke up, thank goodness. I was so worried about you, honey."
He stroked my cheek.
"I'm fine."
"Huh, what do you mean?"
"Yes, I'm fine." With a faint smile.
"Eh, what do you want?" I asked in surprise.
"Wake up."
"Hey, wait! Wait! Not yet. Later, let me rest first. You're not feeling well. Don't push yourself too hard."
"But I'm fine, honey." He tried to get up again but fell again and his back hit the mattress again.
"See what I said."
"Help me sit up, I'm sore from lying down all the time."
"Umm, okay, if you're sore, I'll help you here!"
I helped him get up by supporting his back and pulling one of his hands.
"Eeeee hiyaaaa..."
He started to sit up straight.
"Umm, it turns out my husband is heavy."
"Hehe.."
"Drink this!" While handing him a glass containing the potion that I had mixed earlier.
"What is this?"
"A potion to make your fever go down quickly. It's starting to go down with the compress, but yeah, just to make it go faster."
"But..."
"Come on!"
He seemed hesitant to drink it and looked at his glass several times with a strange look. But I always tried to convince him that the taste wasn't that terrible. Hehe...
"Come on, drink! Do you want to get better?"
"Umm okay, but..."
"But what?”
"Take responsibility if it tastes weird and bitter!"
"Yes."
He finally dared to drink this potion.
Lek lek lek
“No."
"Eh, why?"
"Bitter!"
"Hahaha, yes, that's how it is."
"Take responsibility!"
"Later, I'll get breakfast so it's not too bitter; wait here!!"
"Ah no, I'll just come along!"
"Eh don't! Are you capable?"
He stood up and ignored me. He walked earlier to the dining room. I hurriedly followed him. Because I was worried he would fall in the middle of the road or faint.
"Ethan, wait!"
Luckily, he was able to make it to the dining room and sit in front of the dining table properly.
"Hmm, luckily, you almost made my heart jump out."
"Ahh, too much."
"Hmm.. eat! But it's already cold."
"It's okay, even though it's cold, your processed food must be delicious to eat."
"Ah, you can tease me."
"Eh, I'm not teasing you, but this is real, I'm telling the truth and honestly."
"Yes, whatever you want, let's eat!"
Finally, we started eating and Ethan ate with gusto as usual. I was happy to see him eating like that. It meant that his physical condition was starting to get better. Hopefully, he would really recover and recover quickly.
After finishing eating, he got up from his seat.
“Ah, it's so delicious, really delicious."
"Hey, where are you going?"
"Take a shower."
"Are you strong? Why do you have to take a shower, you've had enough rest at home today."
"Did you forget something?"
"Huh, what?"
He just left me without answering my question. He went into the room and then into the bathroom. Sure enough, he took a shower, I thought he was just joking. Coming out of the bathroom, he immediately got dressed and suddenly asked me to go.
"Come on!"
"Huh, where?"
"To your father's house."
I frowned in confusion. Feeling strange about Ethan's behavior, I began to realize. That I had agreed to the plan we had discussed last night.
"Are you sure?"
"Sure what?"
"Are you sure you'll start today? You'll be out of the house for the next few days?"
"Sure."
"But you haven't recovered yet; you just got better, Ethan."
"Umm don't be a crybaby, come on!"
It turned out he had prepared my clothes for me to bring as supplies while staying in the Shadow Fang Pack area. He didn't sleep the night before. When I started to go back to sleep, he woke up and cleaned all this up. No wonder he had a fever because he stayed up all night. That's how determined Ethan is.
I began to follow in his footsteps. We made our way to my father's house. When we arrived at my father's house, it turned out he was at home and relaxed. For that, Ethan immediately clarified his purpose of bringing me here. Ethan also told me about the problem we were facing this time.
