More Chapter 7

     Leah awoke from what seemed like a thousand year long sleep she looked around the darkened room  feeling the cold night air blowing through the open window. She called out for Charles and he soon appeared at the foot of her bed. He switched on the new lamp on the nightstand and the introduction of the light hurt her eyes, she squinted  as her eyes adjusted to the light she sat up in her bed amazed by what she saw.
     "My God! Where did all this come from?" she asked as she looked around the room  which had been filled with dozens of crystal vases full of all sorts of flowers: roses, lilacs, gardenia's, fox-glove etc... and among the bounty of bouquets were boxes and shopping bags full of designer clothes, shoes, lingerie, perfumes, along with a massive black bag of Chanel cosmetics, Leah's favorite.
     "Serena came to visit you yesterday." Charles informed her.
     "How long have I been asleep."
     "About three days."
     "You're joking!" she asked in disbelief. "What did you give me"?
     "That's not important." he said holding her hand. "The only thing that matters right now is how you feel."
     "Well," she sighed "I am starving." she laughed.
     "Good! Now do you feel like having a bath? Serena brought you a lot of stuff she put it on the counter in the bathroom for you."
     "Yes, actually." she said yawning and stretching as he helped her up out of the bed, Charles made her feel very relaxed and safe. He went down to the kitchen and tried out the new juicer Serena brought. Leah filled up the tub with Lady Primrose royal jelly bubble bath and she shaved her leg, and other areas, for the first time in months. She rinsed off and wrapped up in a thick white terry cloth towel drying her skin. Then she dropped the towel and gazed at her frail naked body in the full length mirror. As she rubbed a soothing mixture of oil into her skin she realized now how much weight she had lost. Her head looked enormous on top of her scrawny shoulders, her ribs jutting out, pelvic bones sharp and angular. Her breast looked like two
deflated clown balloons. Then the reality of her self-inflicted situation sunk in and she wanted to cry. She was a woman of thirty eight, yet she had the body of a twelve year old little girl. She missed her beautiful, round, plump breasts, and her curvaceous hips, and her tight, firm, buttocks, you could bounce a quarter off of. But now she was mortified, and here is when her vanity insured her resolve to get better. She wanted to be strong and healthy once again. She missed being sexy more than anything else she had missed before in her entire life.
      She wrapped up her weak, frail body up in her robe and went down stairs to the kitchen where she, in tears, promised Charles to do everything he tells her. So he explains he will take her to the dentist in a few hours to get her teeth fixed. When they finally came back, four hours later, she was in much pain and disgusted with the prognosis. She had three dead teeth pulled and would need three new implants and porcelain veneers on all her teeth. They took a mold of her teeth and gums; which was very uncomfortable, and she would need to return in four days for the procedure to be complete. Fortunately for Leah her husband Xation would foot the $45,000.00 bill.
