"God Charles, I am so sorry!" Leah said wiping the vomit off her face as she looked down at the mess by the bed.
"That's what tile floors are for, don't worry about it." Charles smiled taking her by the hand "Do you feel well enough to take a bath?"
"Yeah." she said taking a whiff of her underarms "I seriously need to bathe!" she laughed as Charles helped her to the adjacent bathroom where Charles gave her a bathrobe to put on as he drew a nice hot bath for her; which he added a large amount of watermelon scented bubble bath to. He stepped out of the room as she got in the tub then he came back in and helped wash her hair as he was rinsing out the lather from her hair he looked down at her frail arms covered in sores and scratches he felt so sad to see what was once one of the most ravishing women he had ever known looking so beat down and weak and Charles vowed to not commit suicide until he nursed her back to health.
"Charles," she sighed "I just want you to know I really appreciate your kindness." Leah looked up at him tears welling up in her eyes as she started to cry.
"Shh, it's alright Leah, don't cry, I promise I won't let anything happen to you." he tried to reassure her.
"But what about Xation?"
"Don't worry about him right now, we need to focus on getting you strong and healthy. So I want you to relax in the tub and I will go downstairs and make you some hot soup, you need to eat something."
"But I feel sick to my stomach." she moaned.
"That's because you need nourishment, your vomit was thick, white and foamy."
"You can tell what's wrong with someone by their vomit?"
"Well of course, that and urine and feces."
"Really?"
"Yes, in fact see these cracks by the corner of your mouth?"
"Yeah they hurt." she said rubbing them.
"Well that tells me you are lacking B-12 and B-6 vitamins, and stick out your tongue, yeah you have cracks on the surface of your tongue and that tells me you lack zinc and you liver is polluted." Charles informed her.
"But wait 'til I do a full examination and then I will let you know everything that needs to be corrected. Mainly you need rest and proper nutrition that and..," he paused looking in her mouth "well, you need to see the dentist in a few days. You have some missing teeth and a few that look pretty dead, but as I said you are my patient, my only patient and you will receive the best care Xation's money can buy. Okay, will you let me help you?"
Leah looked up at her dear friend and she agreed, but she asked Charles that when she recovered if he would help her get away from Xation he lied to her and said he would, but he would have said anything to get her to go along with the program. Charles stepped out of the bathroom and went down to his kitchen to prepare some homemade chicken soup for Leah. As he did so, he worried about Serena and Hays and the man they were going to kill. He knew they would wait until dark but he had to take his mind off of the terrible happenings, thanking God he did not have to kill anyone today.
