She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 587 - CAPPADOCIA IV



The next morning, Cayenne woke up early due to so much excitement coursing her petite figure. Well, she's not really small but compared to her husband, she'd really appear cute beside him. She picked up a small back pack and placed small items that she'd be needing for the whole day, making sure to be quiet as much as she could while Stefan continued to sleep on the bed.

Stefan stirred in his sleep and touched the cold and empty space next to him. He slowly got up from the bed and found his wife stuffing things inside her little back pack. "Morning, love." He said. He yawned from the sleepiness he felt while watching Cayenne.

"Morning, hon!" Cayenne replied enthusiastically, very opposite to her sluggish husband. "I'm so excited for today's activities that you have planned. How about you? Oh! By the way, I called for breakfast to be served here. Do you want to shower first? I'll just have to finish these stuffs and bath later. Or we can bath together if you can wait."

"I'll wait." Stefan answered the moment Cayenne stopped her rumbling. "Is there anything that I can help?"

"Thanks, but I can handle this myself."

She continued to do her task and he continued to watch her in silence. The room was very quiet but it was warm and sweet.

In the other room, Marian was lying down with her arms wide open. She was trying to calm herself, trying her best to regulate her breathing. She felt so tired and her breathing was coming short and quick. She felt so much pain in her arms but she didn't say a word or let out a moan of pain.

"Let me call a doctor for you, okay. I'll be right back. I'll just ask some help from the hotel staff." Veronica stated, wiping the sweat on Marian's forehead. "Young miss, I'll get back as soon as I can."

"No. Don't." Marian replied between her short breathing. "I…I will…be fine…"

"But this has been going on for an hour. I don't think – "

"Shh. Don't fuss around. I'll be okay." Marian only smiled at her personal maid. "This isn't…the first…time. Don't…don't panic." She said.

Veronica nodded her head and cried silently as she continued to wipe Marian's face. She noticed that there was another bruise on Marian's left arm which shows how serious her illness was.

Another hour has passed and Marian was starting to feel better. This happened a lot of times so, she was already getting the hang of her illness and knew what she should do instead of panicking.

"I ordered food for us." Veronica told her upon opening the door of their room to receive the breakfast. "I have informed Ms. Yen that you just woke up and still needs to prepare a little."

"Thank you. Also, please don't tell them of what happened earlier. I'll get myself checked as soon as we get back home so, just keep it a secret for now, will you?"

"Hn." Veronica answered reluctantly.

The two of them had their breakfast together and right after that, they prepared some of stuff for the day's activities. John didn't really prepare that much since most likely, he will only chaperone them, just to spend time with Marian.

Around nine in the morning, their group gathered at the lobby of the hotel and not to Marian's surprise, John was also there. She looked towards Cayenne and didn't say anything. She knew that her best friend just wanted her to have a peace of mind before her time's over.

"Let's go." Stefan gestured everyone to follow him as if he was a local tourist guide for the group. They went to the parking area where many bicycles await them. "Do you guys know how to ride a bike?"

"I don't." Veronica answered almost instantly, worry reflecting on her face while she was looking at the rows of bicycles.

Stefan looked to one of his bodyguards and pointed at Morris. "Morris, please take the two-seater bicycle and drive it for Veronica. In that way, she can still enjoy the view without any worry."

"You don't – "

"Okay, sir." Morris answered which stopped Veronica from saying the rest of her words.

"I'm sorry for imposing on you."

"It's fine ma'am. Either way, we will also be taking the bike with all of you." Morris answered.

Veronica's issue was settled just like that. Cayenne and Stefan took one of the two-seater bikes as well while John and Marian took one each.

"Just follow me." Stefan mentioned and started pedaling his bike to leave the hotel. He rented those bikes just to let themselves indulge in the experience of touring the Cappadocia valleys and tourist spots using a bicycle.

Marian knew how to ride a bicyle from a young age and she didn't have any problem doing it even with her illness. She turned on her phone and placed it on a video mode before attaching it to the phone holder in the middle of the handle bars. She could take videos without any problem.

John followed Marian closely but he didn't say anything. He just observed her silently.

While these two had their silent war, Cayenne and Stefan were enjoying themselves very much. From time to time, Stefan would stop and take pictures of his wife. He never gets tired of taking her pictures.

"Can I ride the bicycle with Marian for the rest of the way?"

"Sure. I don't mind. Just make sure to follow me closely."

"Yay. Thanks, love." Cayenne gave Stefan a quick kiss and went to Marian. "Let's ride the bike together. I'll drive it for you. Also, let's exchange it with the one my husband is using."

"Is that okay?" Marian asked, not wanting to disturb the quality time of the couple.

"It's fine. C'mon."

Stefan gave Cayenne the two-seater bike and he took the one that Marian used. "Be careful when you drive. Pay attention to the road in front of you."

"Yes, sir."

They continued their trip to the place where Stefan wanted them to go. It wasn't really far and with the scenery around you, you wouldn't mind either if it was far.

Stefan took pictures and short videos of his wife with her best friend. The two were laughing about something that only the two of them knew.

"Why haven't you said a single thing to her?" Stefan questioned John while they rested for a little while. The girls were taking lots of pictures while the guards look after them.

"I wanted to say something but I always felt a clog on my throat whenever I try to say a word."

"That's your guilt." Stefan replied. He looked at his wife from the distance and smiled at her when their eyes met. "I made a mistake as well. We were even at the point of having a divorce." Stefan added. "I hurt her so bad because of my selfishness but then, I realized that I can no longer live my life without her. I threw my pride away and went to look for her. And here we are now. I know you are trying your best to approach her but you need to say a word, too.. If you won't, you might regret everything later."
