Sugar Dating with CEO-Chapter 155

155 Bad Feeling

Kalea was silent, just listening to the nurse talk about her mother. There was guilt that she never managed to get Freya into a mental hospital so she would not have to suffer for so long because she was so mentally damaged.

“Because one of the ways for a patient to recover quickly is to have the support of the family. However, we could not do this,” Aida continued. The hospital already knew about the relationship between the mother and daughter. That is why they are holding Kalea back from visiting Freya in the near future.

Doctors and nurses had also tried to engage Freya in conversation while showing a photo of Kalea, but Freya immediately screamed with an angry expression. She grabbed the picture of her own child and tore it mercilessly. The hospital tried everything until Freya finally accepted it. Her condition gradually improved, and she could now meet Kalea with a sense of calm mixed with guilt for what she had done to her only child.

Kalea understood that it was not an easy thing for her mother to go through. So, after everything that happened, Freya does not want to live with her.

“We’ll do our best until Mrs. Lovaata wants to come home and live with you, Miss,” Aida said soothingly, with a genuine smile.

Kalea’s heart warmed, she returned the nurse’s smile and nodded slowly. “Thank you very much, I really appreciate it.”

Nurse Aida escorted Kalea to the lobby, after which Kalea said goodbye. She drove her car out of the hospital with mixed feelings. Happy that her mother was getting better, and sad that Freya didn’t want to go home. Kalea did not know how long her mother had to stay in that place, but she wanted Freya to get out as soon as possible so as not to trouble Arthur further. Because after all, the entire cost was borne by the man.

The sedan stopped in front of a dessert shop that had been the talk of the town lately. Kalea intended to eat something sweet to improve her mood. Her feet stepped into the shop. The jingling sound of the bell was heard when she opened the door, the fragrant smell of cake immediately burst into her nasal cavity. Kalea liked this.

The brunette girl ordered four slices of cake in red velvet, cheese, tiramisu, and chocolate flavors. Plus a jasmine tea drink. After just a few minutes, her order arrived. She sipped the tea with relish, while looking at the scenery outside the cafe, the passing cars, or the intimate couples that instantly made Kalea’s expression flatter. For some reason, her mind went straight to Arthur.

.....

Kalea shook her head, not wanting to think about her increasingly cold sugar daddy. Kalea returned her focus to the four sliced cakes that looked so delicious and she could not wait to taste them. All four were flavors of Kalea’s favorite food or drink.

Her hands skillfully cut the chocolate cake first and then ate it with gusto. However, just as she was about to praise its delicious taste, the more she chewed, the more nauseous she felt. The smell immediately turned unpleasant, which made Kalea want to spit out the cake again. Kalea covered her mouth, got up from her seat and ran to the bathroom.

Once there, she immediately vomited the food into the sink. She washed her mouth many times to get rid of the bad taste and nausea. Kalea was breathing heavily, her mind starting to wander in other directions. There seemed to be something wrong. She had never felt nauseated by food, especially not her favorite food.

Kalea still tried to think positively. She returned to her table after feeling better. She sat facing the cakes that looked so delicious. She had even seen many reviews that said the cakes here did not disappoint.

“Is my tongue no longer functioning properly?” Kalea muttered to herself in surprise. Her hand reached for the small fork again, still insisting on trying the dessert.

And sure enough, Kalea was nauseous again and wanted to vomit. She went to the bathroom for the second time, vomiting up the little bit of cake she had tasted. As Kalea looked at herself in the mirror, her heart became anxious. She took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly, before finally deciding to wrap the rest of the dessert to take to the penthouse.

Her plan to boost her mood with some dessert had failed miserably. Which only made her mood even worse.

Kalea finally arrived at the penthouse with sluggish steps. She put the cake in the refrigerator. Then she continued her way to the room. Actually, Kalea also felt her body aching, the soreness in some parts made Kalea want to lie down without doing anything else.

“It must be because I’m just sick, not something else,” Kalea muttered, still thinking positively that she did not have a serious illness. Kalea closed her eyes, trying to forget what happened today at the dessert shop, until she finally fell asleep in the dream world.

The next day, Kalea could not bring herself to go to campus. She asked permission from several lecturers who taught her today. Zeline, who found out that Kalea did not go to class, was so excited and showered Kalea’s cell phone with various messages.

Kalea, who could not even get up, reached for her cell phone with all her might to answer the call.

[You! What’s wrong with you?!]

Kalea slightly put the phone away because of Zeline’s deafening voice. “I’m just plain sick. For some reason, my body hurts all over.”

[Tsk, isn’t that a normal thing? Is Arthur playing rough?]

“He’s having fun with another woman.”

[Oh? You’re being ignored? Poor you.]

“Never mind, are you just trying to insult me? I’m in a fierce mood like you.”

[Nonsense. I’ll come to your place after class.]

“You don’t usually go to class.”

[Fuck! Shut up, I just got scolded by my two younger siblings.]

“You’re the older sister who’s afraid of younger siblings.”

[It’s okay, the important thing is that I have a sister and brother.]

“...what do you mean by saying that?”

[No, it’s okay. Bye!] 𝘧𝓇𝗲𝑒we𝙗noѵ𝑒l.𝐜o𝘮

Kalea snorted in annoyance after the phone call ended. Zeline became an extra person who made her mood bad. Kalea tried to wake up from her sleep, holding the nape of her neck, which felt very sore. She went to the kitchen to get a glass of water.

Fortunately, water does not make Kalea nauseous. She gulped it down until there was nothing left. Her stomach was hungry, but she did not want to eat. Just as she opened the refrigerator, the nausea returned. She quickly closed the refrigerator door.

By three o’clock in the afternoon, Zeline came to the penthouse. Lazily, Kalea opened the door for the blonde girl. Even though she did not want to see anyone, even if Arthur came, Kalea would tell the man to leave.

“If you want something to eat or drink, go get it. I’m not in the mood to serve you,” Kalea said as she sat on the sofa and turned on the television. She hoped that if she continued the movie series she was watching, her mood would improve.

“Okay. But by the way, are you really just sick? Aren’t you going to force yourself to go to class?” Zeline asked wonderingly.

“I’m not that crazy anymore, Zeline.”

“Oh, that only applies when you get a scholarship and become a teaching assistant, huh.”

“I have no more motivation to do so,” snorted Kalea, her hazel eyes still engrossed in watching.

Zeline walked towards the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. Her eyes lit up when she saw the three slices of delicious and tempting cake. “Hey, Lea. Can I eat this cake?” Zeline shouted enthusiastically as she picked up one of the cakes to show it to Kalea.

“Yes, you can have it. If possible, all of them,” Kalea replied.

“Fine if you insist!”

With a feeling of excitement, Zeline did as Kalea said. The blonde girl brought the entire slice of cake to the table in front of the sofa. On the other hand, Kalea watched Zeline’s movements as she began to eat the cake.

“Damn, this is delicious. Where did you buy it?” Zeline asked as she spooned the slice of cake.

“It’s a store that’s going viral.”

“Oh, I know! Wow, it’s really good. I thought they were all just cheating,” Zeline said, her mouth kept busy with devouring the cake until her cheeks puffed up. Looking very adorable.

“That’s... really good? You’re not lying, are you?” Kalea asked looking at Zeline, who was busy with her food. Kalea swallowed her saliva roughly, she actually wanted to eat the cake, but her stomach kept refusing.

“Why would I lie? Haven’t you tried it?” Zeline asked, looking at Kalea in surprise. “If you haven’t, why are you giving it all to me right away? Here, try it,” the blonde girl continued as she offered a slice of red velvet-flavored cake.

“No, I’m on a diet,” Kalea refused as she pushed the plate towards Zeline again.

“Idiot, then why did you buy it?”

“I was going to buy it for Arthur, but since you came first, I bought it for you,” Kalea lied. Of course, she would not tell Zeline the true condition of her body for now. She still wanted to make sure until she was absolutely sure. “So the people’s reviews are right, huh? The cakes in that shop are really good.”

“Yep, looks like I’ll be a regular there when I want to eat something sweet.”

Kalea was silent, fighting with herself inside her brain. Zeline said the dessert was delicious without any flaws, so something was wrong with her body.

Kalea nibbled her lower lip, the bad feeling intensifying.

“It can’t be, right?”
