Chapter 18:

Akita was having flashbacks of the past.

This was before she was kidnapped brought to Ryuichi Asami Estate.

Akita was sitting in the gardens-reading a book.

"My lady, Master Feilong has return wishes to see you in his private office" whispered a servant.

Liu knows that Akita hasn't been sleeping well lately also missing meals.

Akita sighs to herself for a moment, gets up slowly.

Not knowing she is being watched from a window.

(Tao) in his master/adopted dad's private office.

He only calls Liu Feilong dad in private, master when there are others around them.

Liu watching Akita from the window.

"What happen when I was gone?" asked Liu sitting on the couch in his private office.

Tao not sure what to say to Liu.

"I caught Akita doing something "whispered Tao.

"Where was Akita when you caught her doing something?" asked Liu.

"In your bedroom, taking her temperature" answered Tao.

Pulling the items out of a bag.

Vaseline, wipes, and a thermometer.

'Thanks, for showing me these, Tao "answered Liu

'Daddy! Maybe Akita wants to do the same thing'' Tao slowly climbing on the couch.

"What do you mean?" looking at the items- Liu thinking for a moment.

Liu felt Tao shift himself on his lap.

Maybe, Akita wants you to be her dad, not husband..

3 days later

Liu is thinking in what Tao said to him about Akita wanting a dad.

Akita never came to his private office.

For some reason she has been avoiding him.

At the dinner table.

Akita barely said one word to those at the table.

Tao watching Akita closely.

"Akita, you look tired-take a bath go to bed early" answered Tao.

Akita, when you are done taking a bath. We need to discuss something" said Liu.

Akita nods her head, leaves the dinning room.

45 minutes later

Akita saw the note left for her.

Knocked on the doorway.

"My Lady! Is everything alright, do you need help" answered a servant.

Servant opens the door.

SCREAMS!

"Go get Master Feilong and the doctor quickly" answered the servant.

2 hrs. later

Female doctor walks out of the bedroom.

"How is Akita?" wailed Tao.

"Resting right now, I'm worried about her at the moment" answered the female doctor.

Liu Feilong sitting on a couch.

"Can I see Akita?" asked Tao.

"Yes, make sure she stays in bed" answered the female doctor.

Tao leaves heading towards the bedroom, that Akita is currently in right now.

Meaning his master/daddy chambers.

"Dr. Erustia just say what is wrong with Akita?" asked Liu.

no answered.

"Akita is malnourished, could be the way she was treated before coming to live with you" answered Dr. Erustia.

"What can I do?" asked Liu.

"I understand that Akita was sold to you as your wife?" She is only 13 years old way to young" answered Dr. Erustia glaring at Liu.

"Yes Akita was sold to me as my wife" answered Liu.

"I would whether you treat Akita as your daughter for the time being, because of her age" answered Dr. Erustia.

footsteps coming into the office.

Knocked on the doorway.

"Master Feilong and Dr. Erustia-Tao is asking for you" answered one of his guards.

Guard leaves the office.

"You can just tell others that Akita is your wife,,, but Tao can tell him in private" answered Dr. Erustia.

1 day later

Akita, Tao and Liu talking in private.

Liu kneels down in front of Akita. "I want you to tell me when aren't feeling good or is something is bothering, Akita" answered Liu.

"Akita, Daddy knows about you taking your temperature at night" said Tao.

Akita turns her back on both of them.

Liu sighs to himself, sits down.

"Daddy, does it to me too. I do something wrong he will punish me in private" answered Tao.

Akita turns towards Tao. "am I gonna be punish?" answered Akita.

"I will let this matter slide, but in the future you will be punish in private. I will taking your temperature at night" answered Liu.
