Worried

Author pov:

(Doctor informs Mark that Anna is fine and he can meet with her. Mark nodded and asked the doctor if he takes her home because he is worried that she again try to run and do something to her. The doctor told her that he can take her and also tell him that she is not completely fine, her body is started getting cold, and to make sure to give her medicine. Mark nodded and went inside. She is looking like a lifeless. When she saw him she started mumbling.)

Anna: I...I am so sorry.

( Anna felt two armed being wrapped around her body making her look in the eyes. He without any word pick her up and make his way out of the room to take her home. Anna did nothing except led her fell on his shoulder. Her face was buried in his crook. Mark heard a few cracked sobs from her but said nothing. Mark felt her blacking out in his arms. He sighed heavily putting her in the car and stared at her face for a few seconds. There was something in his chest that started beating faster than usual when he found her in the middle of the road looking like a mess. And he didn't like the way it has beaten. It was almost like.

He was worried. Worried to find her being in a worse condition...

Mark enter his bedroom and took Anna inside the bathroom right away. He settled her in the bathtub and opened warm water to warm up her body a bit. He instantly started removing clothes and left her completely naked but not even for a second did he feel any desire while washing her.

All he felt was a concern. He was concerned for her. He removed his clothes as well but didn't enter the bathtub. He only splashed the warm water on his body to warm up his body temperature as well.

After a few minutes, he brought her out of the tub. He wrapped her in a fluffy towel and brought her out of the bathroom.

Mark brought his warm hoodie and shorts for her as he knew the clothes wouldn't give her any warmth. After changing her he gave her medicine for the wound on her head. He checked her temperature and it was not normal. He laid her on the bed and covered her using two heavy blankets.

After making sure she was comfortable he went to the wardrobe and change his clothes as well. After changing his clothes he instantly calls called the doctor. But the response was kind of disappointing. The doctor said he can't come because of changing weather. Mark sighed looking at the clock it was almost 7 pm night.

Her body started shivering and the doctor had warned Mark to keep her body warm. Mark switched the heater of the room on and waited for the room to get a little warmer.

But her shivering wasn't stopping. As soon as he grabbed her hand his eyes widened he is shocked. She was ice cold and the medicine he gave is not showing any good. He rubbed her hands furiously even her feet but no use. Suddenly his mind clicked. Once Jules for severely sick and James told Mark that body warmth is the best to reduce the cold fever.

He without another thought removed the blanket and shoved himself beside her before wrapping his calloused arm around her tiny waist. He carefully pulled her in his arms sliding his other arm under her neck.

He pulled her tiny shivering figure completely in his arms. Her face got buried in his crook as Mark was squeezing her body against him gently.

He wanted her to feel his body warmth so her shivering could be stopped. He stayed laying on the bed while hugging her for hours. And when he started feeling like dozing off he heard something.

His eyes flew open when he heard his wife murmuring while keeping her head buried in his crook. He moved away a bit to see but instead left surprised when her unconscious sweaty body moved forward a bit and tighten her grip on him.

She was murmuring something sleep making Mark stare at her face that was buried in his neck. He leaned a little down to hear her voice more clearly

"..I am s...sorry. I...It's m..my fault. F..Forgive me. I...I am sorry." Mark felt warm drops on his neck and he knew without looking what it was.

Her tears. She was crying while murmuring in her sleep. "I...I am s..sorry. I...I am sorry. "He sighed heavily before placing his hand on her head and caressing her wound.)

Mark: Shh just sleep, Anna. It's ok relax. Just sleep, princess.

(He mumbled in her ear and in response she sniffled snuggling in his neck even more.

She nuzzled her head in his crook to the extent that he felt her lips touching his skin. For a second he froze at the touch but gulping down he closed his eyes tightening his grip on her.)
