12 Chapter 12

I walked into my room and changed my clothes. "Young master, your mother is calling you. She told you to come to her room." I heard Sebastian call from outside my door. I walked over to the door and thanked him and went downstairs.

I walked into my mother's room and she directed me to sit down on the couch. I sat down and she pulled out a backpack from and brought it over to me. She handed it to me and I accepted it with a smile, "Thank you mother. It makes me happy that you care so much about my needs." I said.

She smiled and said, "I'm glad. On the weekends, we're going to go shopping for some Autumn clothes. And since your birthday is in a few weeks, we'll get you a birthday gift." I got up and hugged her tightly and said, "Thank you mother. It really means a lot. You're so considerate. Thank you."

My mother hugged me and after a while I broke the hug and said, "I have to do my homework now. Thanks mom." She nodded and I left.

I walked to the kitchen and saw the Grelle, the maids and Sebastian fixing dinner. I smiled at the peaceful sight and walked up to my room. I walked over to my desk and started doing my homework. I had to write an essay on what we think the world would look like in 10 years.

After a while I heard a knock on my door and Sebastian's voice say, "Young master, I brought your dinner."

"Come in." I said, walking over to get the coffee table. Sebastian opened the door and walked in with the same tray. I unfolded the legs of the coffee table and placed it in the center of my room. He placed the tray on top and I took the plate and put it on the table, placing the tray down on the floor.

I sat down and took a forkful of spaghetti and put it in my mouth. I cupped my cheeks when the rich taste of the spaghetti hit my taste buds.

"This is really good." I complimented. Sebastian just bowed down and said, "I'm glad you like it, young master."

I nodded as I took another forkful. "I'll go help the maids serve the table." Sebastian said. I nodded and he left.

I sat there eating the spaghetti on my own. After a few minutes, I finished everything and put the plate on the tray and took it downstairs.

My mother was in the kitchen eating the spaghetti. I placed the tray on the near the sink and headed back to my room.

I finished up my essay and started doing other works. "Young master, is there anything you need?" Sebastian asked from outside the door. "Nothing in particular." I said in return. "I'll be downstairs if you need me." He said. Then I heard his footsteps and I continued doing my work.

After a few hours, I finished my homework.

I sighed as I leaned back onto my chair and stretched my sore limbs up. It was Wednesday and that meant that I had to go down and spend the rest of the evening, worshiping with my parents.

I walked downstairs and saw my parents setting things up for the worship. I walked over to them and helped them up.

We finished setting things up and started our Wednesday worship.

*time skip*

It was already late so I went straight to bed.

When I opened my eyes, I felt my body about to fall apart. My nose was runny and I had a fever. I kept sneezing and coughing. I barely had the power to move a limb.

"Good morning, young master." I couldn't answer due to my sore throat. I couldn't keep my cough in. Sebastian walked in and headed straight to me. He took off a glove using his teeth and placed his palm on my forehead.

He shook his head and placed the tray on my table and put his glove back on. "Young master, it looks like you've caught a cold. Please stay put, I'll be back in a minute." He said heading downstairs.

I stayed in bed, coughing my lungs out. My eyes were droopy and I struggled to keep them open. My mother walked in after a while, with Sebastian behind her. She ran up to me and placed her palm on my forehead and said, "Honey, you've caught a cold. I'll call your teacher and tell her that you'll be absent today."

I nodded and my mother left downstairs. Sebastian stayed behind and said, "How are you feeling, young master?" I let out another cough and said, "Not bad..."

"I'll go make you some honey tea. Please don't go anywhere." He said. I nodded as he left downstairs. I kept sneezing and coughing repeatedly. My mother came back after a while. She had a box of Kleenex in one hand and some medicine in the other.

"Here honey, take these. Sebastian will bring you some water and tea. Stay put." I nodded as I took the box of Kleenex and the medicine. My mother sat down on my chair and started stroking my hair backwards.

Sebastian came in with a cup of water and tea. He put the new tea on the tray and gave the water to me. I popped the pill out of the foil and placed it in my mouth. I drank the water afterwards and let out another cough.

I handed the cup of water to my mother and she put it on my desk. "Honey, I have to go to work now, but Sebastian and the maids will take good care of you." I nodded as I let out a sneeze.

"Have a nice day, mother." I managed to saw. She smiled at me and headed out. I laid there in bed feeling horrible and wishing to die. "Sebastian, can I have some tea..." I asked between coughs. He quickly got the cut of tea and sat down on the chair my mom sat down, seconds ago.

He placed a hand on my back and gently lifted me up. I sat up and he helped me drink the tea. It was so hot, yet so sweet. I drank it all and Sebastian took it and put it back on the tray.

"Young master, I'll be right back. I'll go make some soup. Don't move anywhere." He said, while helping me lay back down and covering me with blankets.

I nodded and he took the tray and headed downstairs. I laid down in bed, burying myself deeper under the warm blankets. I pulled out a tissue from the Kleenex box and blew my nose.

I crawled further into my blanket and fell asleep.

"Young master, please wake up. I brought the soup. You should eat something before you take the medicine." Sebastian said, slightly nudging me. I rubbed my eyes as Sebastian slightly pushed the blankets away. He helped me sit up and I yawned and the coughs returned.

Sebastian took the bowl in his hands and took a spoon full and slowly moved it to my face. I felt weak and could barely stay up. "Sebastian, I'm not hungry..." I whined. He ignored me and stuffed the spoon in my mouth.

I flinched at this his actions but gave in and swallowed the substances."Young master, it's necessary to eat, especially in your condition." I nodded and accepted my fate and took the bowl out of Sebastian's hands and drank it all at once.

When I finished the last bits of the soup, I handed the bowl back to him and wiped the edges of my mouth with the back of my hand. "Young master, you shouldn't force the food into your body." Sebastian said putting the bowl on my desk. He pulled out a pill from his pocket and handed it to me.

I picked up the pill and Sebastian gave me a cup of water and I drank the pill. He took off a glove and put it on my back and said, "Young master, please wait a bit. I'll change you up." I nodded and sat still as he put his glove in his pocket and got up.

He headed to my wardrobe and I sat still and waited for him to come back. I was feeling droopy again as I sneezed. My sweat was starting to cool down, causing chills down my spine. I sneezed and took a tissue and blew my nose again.

Sebastian came back with a sweater and sweatpants. He put the clothes on my blanket and started to take off my clothes. I covered my chest with the blanket as he wiped the sweat off my back and put on the sweater.

I took off my pants, still under my blanket and put on the sweatpants. Sebastian tucked me into bed again and took the bowl and my clothes downstairs.

I fell asleep immediately.
