Side Story (Gladiolus)(7)

(R-18 due to mature scenes)

Anatalia woke up feeling something hot enveloping her. When she opened he eyes, she saw Gladiolus having a hard time breathing.

"Gladiolus?!" Anatalia immediately took his temperature putting her hand on his forehead. "You are burning up!"

Anatalia was alarmed with Gladiolus' temperature. He was running a high fever due to the poison. She looked at the wound on his leg and the surrounding skin was in fact had a dark color.

"I was not able to suck all the poison out." Anatalia said. "For sure some lingered inside his body."

Anatalia tore her dress' skirt and quickly dampen it. She put the dampened cloth on top of Gladiolus' forehead.

"Please do not leave me." Anatalia whispered it like a prayer. "Please make it out of this."

All Anatalia can do now is make sure that Gladiolus fever will not worsen.
