Chapter 150 Peace In Sleep

“What time is it??” Uncle Dylan opened his dizzy eyes as soon as I pulled away the room's curtains.

“Some time, close to lunch,” I told him as I handed him a cup of coffee and thankfully, he took it without an argument.

“Why are you still here?” Uncle Dylan asked as he started to take small sips of coffee delighting my heart with relief.

“I took off today,” I told him calmly as I scrutinized him carefully, sitting at the edge of the bed.

“Why? Your lover didn’t die…” He scoffed in complete sarcasm which I didn’t mind.

“I once saw her close to death, it was awful,” I confessed and his stare paused at me intensely.

“Hmm, worse than losing,” He added and I couldn’t help but nod in agreement.

“You shouldn’t be babysitting me, Derek, I am man enough to take care of myself,” Keeping the cup aside, Uncle Dylan finally stood up in his disheveled clothes and looked down at me for my obedience.

But how could I give him the obedience that would bring bad news later?
