She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 45 - ARTHUR'S VISIT

'I thought she didn't like someone. Who was that man, then?' Stefan had this question in his mind the entire time he was driving back home. He knew of her two brothers because he asked Chris to investigate her before. But, he didn't know who that other man who came with her two brothers.

Since he didn't want to waste the food, he just gave them to the street children and other people who needed food. As for the gift, he brought it back with him. He will just give it to her during the night.

Just like how he was upset with Arthur coming to visit Cayenne, Cayenne was upset with her brother as well. Now, she needed to find another place to live. She didn't want the man to keep coming, now that he knew of her address.

Arthur could tell that Cayenne was still distant to him and he didn't know how to overcome this unknown gap. Few years ago, they were still fine. They were doing great and they had a good relationship. Many people could tell that they were the best of friends. He didn't know what went wrong between them. And he knew that it wasn't because of his confession. There's no way she'd change because of that.

Honestly speaking, he only confessed to her because he thought she likes him. She been so close to him and during those times, she didn't keep any secrets to him. He was her confidante. She would tell him everything that would bother her. She would always make time for him whenever he needed it. Other people already thought that they were into 'that' relationship already.

But everything crumbled for unknown reason.

Arthur finished eating his food and was currently talking with Luiz in the living room. Among the three siblings, only Luiz stayed the same. Kyle started avoiding him as well. It wasn't a physical distance but their relationship was becoming strange.

"By the way, Yen, I have heard about a program in the hospital which specifies on patients with tuberculosis. Do you want to sign up for your mother? They will be paying five percent of the hospital bills. It may not be a huge amount but it will still help you." Arthur informed her since he didn't know that someone paid her mother's hospital bill.

Until now, she still didn't know who paid for it and the hospital wouldn't say anything to her either. What she was afraid of was that their benefactor will come out of nowhere and use it against them. She had seen that in many dramas and the shady people will use the daughter to pay off the debt. It was something she was scared of.

"Thanks, Arthur. I'll check if that is still available." Cayenne responded with a faint smile.

"Uh.." he was scratching the back of his head with a hesitant expression on his face. "Can I visit you guys again?" Arthur questioned.

All three pairs of eyes looked towards Cayenne. The decision lies in her and she was a little embarrassed to refuse him when he didn't do anything against her.

She coughed drily and sat on the couch across him. "Sorry Arthur but, can you not visit us again? I would be forced to look for another place to live if you keep coming here."

"Why? Am I that unwelcome now?"

"It's not that you are unwelcome but, there are some things that will be a little difficult to handle if you keep coming here. I mean, people will start to gossip us like before. I don't like it."

"I understand your point. Well then, I'll just see you guys in the hospital when you're visiting your mother."

"Hn. That would be fine." Cayenne agreed. As long as he won't visit their house, his mother won't know about their address. She would be able to avoid having a confrontation with her.

"It's very seldom that you have a rest day like this, would you like to go somewhere or maybe, watch a movie together with your siblings?" Arthur questioned her, finding a way to spend more time with her.

Cayenne politely refused his offer. She has few hours left before going back to Stefan and she wanted to spend this remaining time to rest her heart and mind. The past few days, she had been very exhausted around Stefan and she just got of the hospital this morning as well. She hadn't told her brothers about it either.

As much as possible, she wanted to take a rest. "Sorry, Arthur. I want to rest today. How about you guys go and have some fun? I would be happy if these two guys will have some time to relax as well." She mentioned while looking at her brothers.

"You deserve to relax, not us." Luiz retorted back to her.

"I will be relaxing here at home. At the same time, I will be going to work in few hours so, it's better for me to stay here."

"Alright, then. I will be taking your brothers away from you. I'll return them before five in the afternoon."

"Sure. Sure. Be careful always." Cayenne waved her hands at them. "Make sure to lock the door before you leave. I'll be resting in my room."

'Until when should I stay with Stefan? I think he's doing fine the past few days. Maybe I'll be staying in a month or two. A year would be a little impossible. Which means, I will have a very short time with him.' Cayenne kept thinking about her time with Stefan. On her bed, she had been shifting her position but she couldn't fall asleep. Her mind was occupied with the sad expression on his face. 'Was I too much last night? Did I hurt him? But what I said were all true. I wasn't lying to him.'

Just like her, Stefan wasn't able to do any work on that day either. He was busy looking into the man that might be close to Cayenne. He wanted to know what kind of man will catch her interest.
