"I wonder why Cecilia even bothered to have this press conference anyways, they know what they should know, and what they shouldn't know, they should just leave it." Amara commented as she sat down behind all those reporters and watched on.
The director then looked at Cecilia and nodded, they're on air now, Cecilia nodded back and looked down at the crowd of reporters.
"Thank you everyone for coming to this press conference today, I know that it had been a long time since I last updated on me, today, you'll have the chance to ask all of your questions, but please be aware that some questions I cannot answer." She said and nodded at the group of reporters.
"Miss Cecilia, I'm from the TVE station, we have heard that earlier on this week, you went into court for the poison placed in you, however, no one knew whom you sued. Do you mind letting out some info?"
Cecilia glanced at Robert, he shook his head silently, Cecilia smiled and looked back at the reporter. "I'm sorry, I cannot reveal that information, the other end does not want the press to find out about this situation. However, I promise you that in no time, that information will be released publicly."
"Miss Cecilia, I'm from Women Issues, with your current health issures, is your engagement with Mr Kai Hiwatari off?"
Cecilia looked up at Kai for a brief moment, and then smiled sweetly. "No, the engagement is not off."
"Miss Cecilia, I'm from Pop Culture, the fans are anxiously waiting for your return upon the stage for the tour later on this year, however they're also concerned about your health as well. Under your circumstances, will you be able to do the concert near the end of this year?"
"Um... I still cannot say anything at this point of time, but the concert is definitely not canceled. I will try my best to fulfill that wish, and also thanks to my fans for supporting me through this." She said sincerely.
The reporter also smiled and reached into her pocket for a nicely wrapped package and held it towards Cecilia. "Cecilia, the fans across the world have all gathered whatever amount money they can and they especially ordered this for you. They hope you can accept it."
Cecilia smiled immediately and prepared to stand up. "Of course, thanks so much."
Just like that, in front of millions of watcher at home, and the hundreds of people here live. She stood up and walked towards the end of the stage and held onto the other end of the package, cameras flashed around her. She smiled, but then suddenly she gasped, her hand tightening onto to the package, the reporter blinked at her.
"Are you okay?" She asked worriedly.
"Yeah...." Cecilia gapsed, then swayed a bit, she held onto her head, a sudden blackness came over her.
And then, in front of millions of pairs of eyes, she closed her eyes and fell down the stage, the security polices and bodyguards rushed up to catch her.....
[Later- Hospital]
"And just like that, this morning, the world famous super star fell off the stage, but luckily people managed to catch her in time before anything happened. It was said that...."
Cecilia sighed and switched the channel.
"Cecilia Joseph, the former model fell off the...."
"The concert will be on, but might be canceled, Cecilia...."
"There's probably no more hope for Cecilia to return to..."
She moaned and shut the TV, she's the head news today, every channel is showing her face, her smile, and then her fall. At this moment, the door opened and Kai walked in, she smiled at him and he sat down beside her.
"Are you okay?" He asked worriedly, she just nodded.
"Is anyone else hurt? I remembered that when I fell off the stage, many people rushed up towards me." She asked, hopefully no one got hurt because of her.
"No, no one is hurt."
She nodded, and they stayed in silence, Kai sighed and looked at her again.
"Cecilia.... the doctors just said that... with only one week left, you have to stay in the hospital from now on." She looked at him and slowly nodded, then she looked down.
"Kai.... let's call off the engagement, okay?" She asked softly, Kai rolled his eyes.
"How many 'no' do you want me to say?"
"But Kai...." She began again, ready to give him another lecture.
"No buts, no is no, end of story!" He said firmly.
Cecilia looked at him and didn't say anything else, they have discussed this for the past days. He didn't react like he did when she first mentioned it, but he just kept on saying no, in the end, if she's still going, he'll just ignore her. Eventually, she would just give up.
"Kai... do you think I did the right thing?" She asked softly, touching her arm.
"What?"
"Do you think I did the right thing by accepting this poison?"
"No."
Cecilia looked at him surprised, he just rolled his eyes.
"You should have just let him place the poison in me, I would have fought back better than you."
Cecilia just pouted and glanced away. "And you're willing to make me hurt forever?"
"I wouldn't do that, because if that really happens, I'll kill you before you even know about what happened, so you won't feel the pain that I'm feeling now." He said coldly.
Cecilia looked at him stangely, he sure have a weird of healing pain. "Kai... are you serious?"
Kai sighed and looked away. "To tell you the truth, I wouldn't know what to do in that situation. I promised that I will never let you feel pain of any kind, but here you are, in a hospital, weak, cold, pale... I don't know what to do."
Cecilia smiled and brushed back some of her hair, "Kai, I'm okay. Aside from being weak, I'm fine."
"You're not happy." He said shortly.
"You're wrong, I am happy. Being with you makes me happy, no matter where I am or what kind of state I am in." She said and he turned to face her slowly. She smiled and put her arms around his shoulder, and laid her head on his shoulder, enjoying the sunlight on her face. He soothed her hair and buried his face into her slender shoulder.
[Outside]
"We will definitely be working day in and day out for a cure to Miss Cecilia's problem, but for now, she has to stay in the hospital for further check ups." The doctor said taking off his gloves.
"Thank you."
"No problem." The doctor nodded and walked away, towards the other nine doctors.
Naomi then turned back towards the others and shook her head, "still no cure, they're working on it."
No one said anything, they just nodded quietly.
"Well... we can't just sit here and wait for them, let's look for some ways to help them with Lia's cure." Amara suggested, looking around.
"What do you suggest? Look on the Internet? Seith's done that for about... 2 weeks now, he found nothing. Nothing related to the matter anyways." Robert said, rubbing his temple.
"I have an idea." Charlotte said and everyone looked up at her. "We could have someone sneak into Voltare's mansion and look around for something that might help us with Lia's poison."
"I'll go." Hiura volunteered and stood up, Kazuya looked at her and then nodded. "I'll come back in one day, with... or without the cure."
"Good luck."
"Don't worry, I'll do it for Lia, just tell her to hang on." Hiura said confidently as she looked over towards Cecilia's hospital room. She will get the cure no matter what happens....
