Chapter 33

As Xavier let go of her hand for a moment she felt her leg give way as she felt weak and then fell to the ground with a long thud. Xavier who was worried looked at her on the floor not moving or saying anything.

He put his finger next to her nose to feel if she was still breathing. Her breathing was slow but it was still there. She was still alive. Xavier helped her back up and did not let go of her hand until he was able to put her back on the bed.

"Jessica what's wrong?" he asked worried.

He had never had the chance to experience something as such. His hand grazes over her bare skin as he tried to drop her to the bed. He felt her fever coming up. She was burning hotter than freshly brewed coffee.

Jessica mumbled incoherent words to him. She did not know how to explain to him that it was just her menstrual cycle that was acting up and causing her to hang to life by a thread.

"Stay here, let me ask Roselle for help," Xavier said going out of the room.
