Chapter 70
[A/N: We are so far along in the story and the main arc hasn't even started yet. Sigh.]
"That is never intentional, My Precious..." she said, not realizing that he was getting agitated because of this.
He rubbed the bridge of his nose with his index finger and his thumb, not wanting this confusing conversation to continue on anymore.
"Just stop... Please Jade." He spat out, "I am tired, I would like to sleep."
"Alright then... Should I sing for you?" She asked again.
"No. Please. Your singing is what keeps me up... Not puts me to sleep." He felt the headache thudding his forehead.
She giggled. How strange.
Her singing wouldn't let him sleep he said... But why couldn't her singing wake his sleeping mother. She was having the toughest of the times with her, and she couldn't even mention that to this beloved son of hers.
"I'll take my leave now, My Precious. Dream beautiful dreams." She chimed, and vanished the next instant, melting into thin air.
He tried his level best, but couldn't get to sleep after Jade was gone. He got out of his room, hoping to find some solace in some other part of haveli. Maybe she was still up. Maybe he would just catch a glance of her all moving and looking healthy.
His heart was happy suddenly, at the thought of seeing his mother moving her limbs by herself and not by those bloody machines they jammed into her.
But as soon as he made his way near her room, the darkness notified him, that she had slipped back into that slumber of hers.
