247 The Aftereffects 01
"Thank you very much for all your help. We'll contact you again once after all of these is cleaned up and concluded." Hue said
"No worries and you don't need to hurry. I know this is a difficult and made a hectic time for you. I'm free anytime, feel free to contact me at your most convenient time." Uoron replied as Wisteria assisted Reen while Mirly stood on her other side.
"Thank you." Reen said in a soft and weak voice as she was a bit exhausted.
She smiled weakly at him. Despite her dark eye bags and pale features her beauty was still shown. Ever since last night, she had already stopped wearing her mother's glasses clearly empathizing her beautiful and mesmerizing eyes by now.
Seeing this, Uoron could not help but be momentarily mesmerized but he soon regained his bearing and frowned at the sickly lass.
Uoron merely nodded knowing this was not the time to reprimand the recklessness of the young lady.
He strode towards his car as Wisteria and Mirly escorted Reen inside the house leaving Uoron behind with Hue.
They made eye contact then Hue said filled with sincerely,
"Thank you… for everything…" Hue said in all seriousness as he pulled out his hand for a handshake.
"It's nothing sir." He said humbly as he held his hand and shook it.
Uoron then left after a few small talks with Hue as he made his way towards his company in deep though.
Upon arriving, Reen left the three to their own devices [1] as she made her way to her room. She took a bath once again scrubbing her body severely turning it to a shade of red by the excess scrubbing.
After a few more minutes of trying to make herself clean, she stood up dried herself and changed into a pair of comfortable cotton made pajamas not minding the stinging pain of her body.
Around 2 am, Reen abruptly woke up. She stared blankly at the ceiling for a minute then stood up and changed into a simple black off shoulder dress. The upper part fitted perfectly around her chest and hip empathizing her curves and assets. The lower part was flowy reaching up until her knees.
It was a simple dress made with expensive cotton. It's only design was a medium size red puzzle on the upper left side of the dress. This was one of Reen's favorite dresses.
She paired it up with a pair of flat red flat shoes. She tied her hair into a half moon letting her curls fall onto her smooth and skin white shoulders. She looked like a vibrant young girl despite her age.
After checking herself in mirror and pinching her face to add some pinkish color to her pale face, she took Sophia's book and quietly left her room.
Uoron on the hand laid on his bed, turning and tossing on it. He couldn't sleep. He didn't know why but ever since seeing Reen vomiting blood he could not help but be filled with helplessness and worry.
After tossing and turning for an hour, he tossed the sheets then walked towards his office.
